It really was that awful


Match Report


IBO Reporter: channonite



|Happy New Year?!


I can't begin to describe how dire this match was, but a casual glance at the stats will tell you all you need to know. Saints didn't manage a single shot on target in the entire match. Forest on the other hand managed just the single shot on target, from which they scored.

I can't be bothered to do anything approaching a proper report on this dire start to 2023, but if Saints continue like this, then they are absolutely cast iron certainties for relegation.

Dreadful stuff and rock bottom of the Premier League now...

If anything this performance was worse than the Brighton match. Quite some achievement Nathan...
