    Seems to be the tactic.
    Trying to get someone in behind or trying to win the second ball high up, I guess.

    I thought the problem with Saints was that they didn’t do forward passes enough. Too much sideways and backwards. 6 weeks isn’t long enough to break totally new ground.

    anyone else feel like theres not a lot to see from Jones first few weeks in charge, same patterns of play, same long throws, same formation and same passing patterns.

    overall quality is poor across the board.

    Always the same when we try to play this ridiculous 3 centre backs. They dont look like they know what to do other than pass to each other
    Hopeless
    And dont get me started on AMN

    Things can only get better, said a wise man. Wasn’t a Saints supporter though.

    AMN is a funny one. Sometimes looked really good, then puts a shift like this in.

    Oh dear. So far very uninspiring. Not sure what they have spent the last five weeks working on

    I'm there Boxing Day to refresh my mind about this game of football, not having watched any for about a month or so.

    i just feel like there should be something going on somewhere but it looks just the same, like the worst games under RH. surely Jones saw the previous games and presumably didnt like it. Yet here we are again.
