Mubama got to finish that!

He couldn’t finish a portion of fish and chips. Surely Edozie, Bazunu and Larios might have been a warning?

Another day we are up 5-1. We still have time.

Blew it with such an abject first half - can't keep on doing that.

[Saint NL]

Cardiff Vs Burnley is a 4-4 classic

[tdmickey3]

We are getting what we deserve for a shocking first half again

Tick tock though. Running out of minutes.

[Saint NL]

How did he win a free kick for that? 🤣

[tdmickey3]

Desperate shots from range now

[SNSUN]

[Sheaf Saint]

How is that a  FK!?

[saintant]

Game was lost in first half.

[BotleySaint]

Ref doesn't like Matsuki

[Suhari]

WTF ref!!?

[Saint NL]

Hahahah Matsuki just did what their player did but the ref gave Preston the freekick 

[RedArmy]

Laughable. Their player lays on top of the ball and they get the free kick. We do the same and they also get the free kick. 

[obelisk]

Well at least Downes hasn't picked up a yellow.

Only if PNE choke, which they might as not used to winning.

Will need to be gift wrapped though as an unforced error.

Time is ebbing away to salvage this.

Pity we always waste half of most games.

Seems to be a pattern developing

[SNSUN]

How can a team be so good at home and so poor away? What do the players do on the coach to away games? Smoke doobies? 🙂

[Mr X]

Shocking from saints PNE have defended well and fully deserve the lead 

[badgerx16]

This ref has tsken against Matsuki  won't give him anything.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

1 fucking 0!

FFS!

I get it. But we have been knocking on the door regularly. It'd be different if we were just faffing around at the back.

Mubama for the win

Not in 100 games.

[Saint NL]

This ref is a total moron

[tdmickey3]

Questions to ask of TE after another poor show in first half 

[BotleySaint]

To be fair they've worked bloody hard. Even on the back foot they've kept their shape and had some lucky blocks along the way. We've faffed about too much.

Really poor performance we deserve to lose.

First half they were though, which is common pattern, and unlikely to get away with it today, 

[obelisk]

Ref stops game because a PNE player has cramp FFS.

I think he has a bit of credit in the bank but it is a worrying trend.

[Osvaldorama]

This ref is beyond infuriating 

[Colinjb]

The team approached this in a totally unprofessional manner. We cannot keep relying on good second halves.

Fair play to Preston.

[BotleySaint]

Ref has been a total idiot also.

[stknowle]

Jesus Christ this is FRUSTRATING 

[Edmonton Saint]

The arrogance of Spoors thinking we could replace Stewart and Archer with Mubama. Madness 

[whelk]

Got to be over 10 mins + of added time

Don't question the mesiah 😜 tbf the players simply didn't turn up and thought Preston would be a walk. In the park 

[Harry_SFC]

This is like watching a Russell Martin side. Ask us to beat a team with 11 men behind the ball and we are total dog shit.

He will give 5

Injury time equaliser to paper over the cracks... 🤞

Could give 50, we wouldn"t score.

[saintant]

Least Boro only drew 0-0 and again failed to score without Lankshear.

[sockeye]

WHU lost, Boro and Wolves drew

Just need us to nab a point at least

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Six minute, fuckin come on

Manager has tactics all wrong and we can only play one way. Players are from RM days and new ones suite possession football so combine that with only one forward who comes off or injured and it's a weak easy to play team

Just unwilling to take a player on, create space, draw a foul in a dangerous area, or speed it up.

Not happening.

[SNSUN]

On the plus side, Boro only managed a draw against atrocious Watford, West Ham lost and Charlton beat Sheff Utd. Oh, and Wolves drew. We haven't lost too much ground.

[Suhari]

Abbott showing some fight there. I like him.
