The Preseason Thread - 2025/26

Espanyol 1-0 Saints

Crossed wires between Stephens and Manning, both waiting for each other to deal with a loose ball

 

We don’t look sharp or fit.

 

Unfortunate assist by Jack

 

Works fine on my lappy in the Netherlands.

 

Very poor goal to concede. Espanyol been dominant this half and pressing us more.

 

Pen

Edit very harsh?

 

Two of our more senior players showing the way

 

I keep seeing Downs, and thinking it's Downes and the person typing has just misspelled ffs

 

Penalty given to Espanyol, never a penalty though

 

Stephens just shielded and chested the ball!

 

Not a penalty for me but we escaped one earlier

 

I agreed with the Stephens contact in terms of leadership within the club.

But he'd be my 4th choice centre half for us to start against Wrexham. This game shows why unfortunately.

 

Joke pen, but yeah, we look ****.

 

What on earth was that a penalty for?

 

Being Jack Stephens.

 

How's that a pen? Never a foul

 

I'm struggling to see an identity

 

Wrong thread but a ton for Stokes.

 

Downs!

 

We did a goal
