You got the team selection and tactics wrong.
But credit to you and your team they never gave up.

No, there is no credit to him.
We looked ok, but only after the tie was lost. |  |

As usual nowadays, our players started the game looking like a confused bunch of individuals. If the opposition applies pressure then, we are beaten. But as games progress our players seem to gradually work it out among themselves what to do. In contrast, Newcastle came out like a slick, wel-oiled machine and their well-practised passing moves led to both their goals. The few goals we score nowadays are nearly all individual efforts, mostly free-kicks and long-range shots. There is a distinct lack of attacking teamwork and our speculative crosses and passes into the opposition penalty area almost never find another player in a Saints shirt. |  |

Never giving up is the minimum I expect from a bunch of pampered, grossly overpaid professionals when 3000 fans have travelled all that way to support them. |  |

I haven't changed into a Jones supporter.
I still think he is well out of his depth in the Premiership but its not his fault he got the job.
We can see he is doing his best and we can see its not good enough but the fault lies with those that employed him.
When I saw the starting line up I couldn't believe it.
But what can we do,hes not going to get sacked so we have to make the most of it.
The two signings give me hope we can pull away.
If he starts putting them on the bench then I will lose it. | | | |

I don't think he's the man for the job but he's our manager and we've got to get behind the team now
Confidence is an easy thing for the supporters to help build or even more easy for the fans to shatter. Look at the idiot boo boys destruction of Fraser Forsters confidence
Like you say Grumps we've now got the striker and attacking midfielders Ralph needed for the last three years so hopefully onwards and uppwards |  | | |

I know you were a Ralph supporter,Matt.
Credit to you,I was wrong to call for him to go.
All Ralph wanted was what has now been given to Jones.
I liked Ralph and I could see his frustration, you could see it pulling him down so I thought it best he left.
I never thought the club would get a new manager with no Premiership experience to take over Saints in our perilous position.
I miss Ralph,I could even forgive his two 9-0s. | | | |

Well, tbh, I think he needs time.
We may well get relegated, but even if we do give the manager time and I am sure he will get better.
Not a time to jump horses. | | | |

With respect, that is like giving credit to entrants for the Darwin awards for having a go. For the first half, they looked like a bunch of strangers having a kick about on the beach. I don’t see any sign of a plan or organisation. Has anyone got a clue what we are trying to accomplish as a team? Things seem to be drifting towards chaos and apathy. Though I did see Diallo beat a few players as he hared sideways across the pitch. |  | | |

Disturbingly, Jones successfully embraces the very worst traits of Redknapp and Mourinho.
Nothing is his fault, and he has ridiculous arrogance (wholly misplaced).
Sport Republic can spend all they like; when they get the single biggest decision so badly wrong, it will be likely to end in tears. |  |

Yeah I felt sorry for him. Poor investment under Gao and then the owners failing to get him a striker and you could just see he was ground down for sure
If you think he kept us in the PL for four seasons with what he had to work with it was remarkable. Not only that but we were only in the relegation spots for 4 weeks in his tenure and he took us to the top of the table and 2 cup quarter finals and a semifinal
His detractors said we tailed off in games and tailed off at the end of seasons but it was due to squad quality/depth, the fact that injuries or suspensions and we had to play youth team players and more importantly the lack of a goal scorer
However good your defence is they are going to buckle if they know they are under 90 minutes of pressure to keep a clean sheet because they know the strikers are unlikely to score and are incapable of holding the ball
At no point did I ever fear relegation under Ralph. I hope we haven’t made a huge mistake | | | |
