Match Day Thread Southampton v Nottingham Forest, 24th August, 3pm

One way traffic ATM….1 corner v 6 .

 

Well yeah you only need to look at Forests team and realise barely any, possibly none, of our players get in it to understand that. Has been obvious since we got promoted that we are going to be big underdogs in virtually every game

 

Not great at the moment. Players look a bit scared at the moment.

 

Nico Williams has a lot of teeth. That’s the main thing I’ve noticed.

 

Downes booked.

 

Another arse of a co-comentator. Forest player had his foot up too.

 

Downes just got what looked to be a ridiculously harsh yellow card. A yellow card that a big six team never gets given when playing at home. And Man City straight up never get given

 

Only stream I could find is foreign language which sounds like a blessing

 

Definitely 2nd best today.

 

All over the pitch

If we are going to play 5-3-2 it looks like Armstrong can’t be one of the two. Like with last time he is just too lightweight for the premier league. Looks like a boy again men at least against this forest defence

 

Lovely stream on Saintsplayer

 

normal service resumed then.

 

Any steams anyone? My usual not working in Spain.

 

That’s better.

 

If we had the chances that Forest have, we would lose by a lucky goal.

Yes, I’m going with that

 

We did a shot on target!

 

There was some succour last week - looked at home in a hostile arena, some expansive and fluent play - not much today though at present, we look rather small-time against the rank and file.THB and KWP are our only bonafide PL quality players. I'd keep Alcaraz he has some qualities we lack at this level going forward.

 

Half time 0-0 somehow

 

0-0 HT ……need to improve 2 half

 

Best thing to say about that half is that it's still 0-0.
