Never mind the 68th minute they strolled for 75 mins out of the 80 mins. I,m blaming the players
100% for this shocking performance not the coaching staff not the chairman but every individual who was wearing a saints shirt on that pitch.
It was our last regular home game a derby against one of our local rivals for bragging rights and the best opportunity to win silverware with a large home crowd on your side.........you don,t need a coach or chairman to prepare for this, if you are professional then self motivation surfaces to make sure you perform at your best.
What we got was a very amateur lazy performance who surrendered to the opposition quite easily after 5 minutes, I,ve never seen so many dumb offensive and defensive plays in one single match before.
Our defensive line speed was non existent allowing warrington to make 10-15 metres on every play, Warrington were smart in knowing the ref was not policing the 10 metre rule and were 2-3 metres up before we played the ball putting us on the back foot'
One of the embarrassing moments was when Makinson dropped the ball on the kick return, 6 players put in a lot of effort to pat him on the back including Swift who ran 50 metres from the other side of the pitch to join in with the back slapping sympathy ceremony.
If we some how manage to win the league leaders shield we can thank the players for making this achievement as flat as a pancake after yesterdays game.
