Piss poor performance, but Peck packs punch! Great stuff Sydie.

 

[Farnboroughblade]

Reminds me of buses. You wait ages for one and then three come together.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Back post bob]

Burrows playing like we know he can good run and slide rule pass for Donovan to cross for Peck

Shame there is nothing on our right side

 

[Tom Bott]

Pecktacular.

 

[SUFCinks]

First 30 mins i thought we were very tidy on the ball, composed under pressure pass and move with nice quick movements even under pressure we found our man and kept the ball moving but lacked the final ball around their box.

After the 30 minute mark we started going long a bit more. We were a bit more basic with the ball but somehow we kept the momentum. I think by the end of the half we were a little too wasteful with it.

Defensively we dont look great, hamza is a real weak link. Hes so far out of position regularly or just not very good defensively.

Peck, outstanding!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

5 points off autos as it stands

I think some blades on here think we are in Prestons situation

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Hamza had one of the worst halves i've ever seen from a footballer, luckily Peck saved him with the best half he's had

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Left side playing like Barcelona, Right side playing like Bromley

 

[Pintor75]

Peck saving the day, they are shocking tbh, Cannon only touched it twice, yet thought he'd be able to get one against these

 

[Blade In Flame]

With any luck, Cannon will defect after the game and claim asylum in Preston.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Rufus Smalls]

To be honest, I didn’t expect Peck to get more than 3 goals all season, so a first half hat trick is unbelievable.

It will do his confidence a world of good. Adds a bit more of an edge to his game if opponents fear him picking the ball up in and around the box.

 

[Corkblade]

How bad must Doherty be? He’s played 15 years as a right back, even being well past his prime, he’s gotta be better than Choudhury!

He's not

 

[Thrice]

Seriki staying fit and a better RW to replace Chong and this could be a pretty good team.

 

[bakeblade]

Peck! Hatrick! Unbelievable.

That 3rd goal was a sight to behold. Good throw out from Coops, good ball in from Harry, great cross from Donovan and Peck gets on the end of it.
Quick, insisive, unstoppable football

 

[Addison]

Disjointed performance and yet were winning 1-3? Chong and Choudhury down the right have given their wing back far too much room. Their goal came from this. The defence looks unsure when PNE break down both flanks.

Cant complain about the third goal everything you want to see from SUFC that we see too little of. Quick throw from the keeper ball moved quickly out wide and first time cross into the box for a midfield player running the length of the field.

Reidewald will not last an hour so put Choudhury into the DM role and bring Seriki on. Ayew for Canon also. Swop the wingers to give PNE new problems to face second half. Need a solid first 15 minutes second half. Consolidate but still go for it with imaginative substitutions.

I must be watching a different match. I’m not saying Hamza is playing a blinder but you would think he has given away 10 penalties and scored 5 own goals by the comments on here. I am baffled as to why he arouses so much anger. Gets some great challenges in, breaks up play quite well, pushes us forward (he isn’t a sideways and back player). Lacks pace, sure.

 

[YES Blade]

He's not

I’d love to know why Choudhury keeps getting picked? Even against a woeful Preston side, he still looks shit.

 

[BangorBlade]

Early 2nd half goal to kill the game off

 

[Corkblade]

Time for Femi to come on for chowdrey, give him 45 minutes and Ollie for Riedeweld

 

[KiwiBlabe]

I've just watched 10 mins of West Brom vs Saints during HT. Looked like a different game WB were playing compared to this one. Great to be 3 1 up bit let's not pretend that was a good performance.

i keep having to check that this is actually a sufc "supporters "forum

 

[Older Blade]

Be interesting what the 2nd half tactic is?

He just looks like a midfielder being asked to play out of position, which would be fine if he was covering injuries and just doing a job. But we’ve got two right backs sat on the bench!

 

[BangorBlade]

Cannon just can't jump

 

[espoo blade]

Who came on for Chong?

I would have to see a replay again but as an example for their goal they broke down their left and hamza was nowhere to be seen and left tangana to cover. Hes been caught out of position a few times and left us exposed.
