    Not sure if teams let us have possession because they know we can’t do much with it, or Saints force teams to defend then break out when they can. Seems to happen a lot, the can’t do much with it part.75% possession, 1 shot on target out of 5.
    Edit. Coventry have had 1 shot on target out of 4 from 25% possession.

    This. Been saying for a month - we play no width at all. It is the ****test part of our very ****ty strategy.

    A decent away first half performance. Dominant in possession and passing.

    Would swap a bit of that to be dominant in whacking the ball between the white sticks

    We are just so ponderous.

    Why, oh why, do we let teams set 11 men behind the ball before we try anything adventurous? Its infuriating. Have a ****ing go at them

    Haha, and there's me saying we don't play it through the middle enough. The one time we did, Che put Adarma through and he should have scored.

    Yeah, as soon as I said we were moving the ball more quickly and looking threatening, we stopped doing it…

    The two go together. Create space out wide and drag defenders away from the middle. Make the pitch bigger is the first rule of attacking movement.

    We weren't for the first half hour or so. Last 15 minute we bizarrely took our foot off the gas and I have no idea why.

    The word that comes to mind is 'sterile'.

    Not under Martin. The first rule of attacking is turn around and pass it back to the centre backs

    Martin is boring the opposition into exhaustion

    If this was at St. Mary's and we had that extra spring in our step I think the game would be all over by now. Away we are just so lethargic. Put a rocket up them, Russ.

    Our games need more goals
    When we were in L1 & Champ before I always said that we didn’t come alive until someone scored
    If it was us, we played with more confidence; if it was them, we played with more urgency and purpose
