Match Day Thread Saints Vs Tom Brady’s Birrr-Ming-Ham (Formerly Wayne Rooney’s) Saturday 6th December 15:00

Didn’t weaken the team by running around like a 5 year old. Stayed calm under pressure.

 

Really? He was class until we went all a bit wobbly later on.

 

3-1 to the super soaraway Saints, back to the classic.

 

Should this have been blue??

 

First off great to bounce back with a win. Huge credit to Tonda for that.
Little bit concerning that our hopes of pushing up the table might be hugely reliant on Scienza staying fit and in form.
Brilliant to have another reliable goalscorer in Azaz too. Takes the pressure off Armstrong who a month or two back was basically our only chance of scoring.
The other noticeable thing though, is we always get weaker with subs. The quality off the bench was a huge strength last time out in this league and won us a lot of points across the season.
Think we need to bring in a few in January if we want to push for an auto spot.

Great win though, and a really important one for the mentality and confidence following a loss and to build the trust in Tonda. COYR

 

Haven’t enjoyed a game at St Mary’s that much for many a year.

Bazunu’s save with his foot was outrageous!

THB is a rock; back to his best.

Our attack is so exciting. Tonda deserves so much credit for the confidence and attitude we have now. A pleasure to watch.

 

I agree the character is there, they worked their socks off. I just love the fact that when we attack now, we have a real purpose. Feels so long ago that we did that.

 

I have mixed feelings. Should have scored more.

But we give far too much space outside our box.

Also, our fans suck

 

I hope so he's been our best player since Tonda came in. His double step over is the nightmares of left backs across the league.

 

3 home wins on the bounce

Great response to them getting one back, feel like we might have folded previously but we just quickly re established both our dominance and our two goal lead.

The move right at the beginning of the second half which led to the side foot volley going wide (from Azaz I think) was absolutely sensational.

Probably should have scored more. Archer taking a heavy touch ****ed his chance up but his run at the end was incredible.

 

If Carlsberg made substitutions they wouldn't have made that one.

 

Sorry but that's a ridiculous comment. He's certainly not playing for himself.

 

His touch for the one on one was great. He got it out of his feet and had plenty of time to finish. Just a poor finish. Did everything else right though.

 

Keeper did well tbf to him, agree Archer should score

 

Agree, we just seemed to invite unnecessary pressure which a better team would have taken full advantage of. Anyway we got a win after a defeat last week, quite impressive!

 

His last touch looked a bit heavy to me and made it much easier for the keeper to close down the space.

Wrong end of ground for me though and you were a lot closer to it!

 

Just got back. First 70 mins were very good. Last 20 not so much. Aribo is ****ing terrible. But I was impressed by Archer - shame he didn't get a goal but brought plenty of energy. Thought Jander was class again and Leo is a cheat code in this league. I like Robinson but you could see there's plenty of development still to be made from him when you compared his decisions to Leo's. And that's fine - he's only 18. Adarma and Azaz are full of confidence and great to see. On to Tuesday!

 

No. Lilac maybe.

 

According to the dick behind me, Archer was ****ing awful and all he could do for the last 10 was commentate on his terrible play, I nearly turned around and said something but thought better of it

 

Loads of positives obviously so a few moans:

Forgot to mention at HT but absolute **** of a ref giving them the ball after it hit him in the first half. Shocking decision.

Aribo was appalling, shame he didn't get sent off. Glad he came on same time as Romeu though so I didn't have to listen to his song.

Atmosphere was appalling. So much for moving the away fans improving it, and we can't blame the team being **** anymore with 9 goals in 3 home games.
