| Saints v Brighton matchday thread on 14:16 - Dec 26 with 2653 views | SFC_Referee | All I’ll say before the game gets going is that many loved criticising Ralph’s choices, but it doesn’t seem like Jones thinks too differently! So ether we’re all missing lots of the behind the scenes stuff or Jones is gonna be very similar to Ralph… |  |

This is it, I'm afraid. Why did we buy Bozono? He couldn't catch covid at a number ten party. [Post edited 26 Dec 2022 15:31]

But that’s the things now isn’t it, soo many fans have set minds on the likes of McCarthy and Ralph, that no matter how well they may have done they’d always just criticise them non stop, yet would let off many others in their position! As we were DREADFUL against Lincoln and simply won because we were a prem team whilst they were a league 1 one! And seeing how we’ve gone 2 down already this game has been almost the same, it’s just our opponents aren’t a league 1 team, but a decent prem one, which is exactly why we’re gonna loose like 4/5-0 today! As in reality we should be playing McCarthy over Bazunu as he’d of saved at least one of those two goals (if not both) and should’ve kept Ralph as he’s better than this Jones from how he’s been for his first 3 games, and would’ve saved us money on sacking him and signing Jones! But still I’m sure many will disagree as they had set minds on those two and just can’t except that yeah they weren’t the best, but at the same time they’re still better than what’s on that pitch right now! |  |

I asked the same question above. And the Sky commentary - 'Southampton have offered absolutely nothing'. Obviously if it carries on like this, Jones is going to be labelled false economy. It's just unfathomable to bring in someone who only has success with Luton Town (but give the guy a chance) and he starts Diallo. |  | |  |

We should be playing Forester in goal and let McCarthy go |  |

It’s hardly like he’s any better, he even messed up today for spurs with Brentford’s first goal. As really we should’ve signed Henderson back in the summer as he was PL quality and already had the experience in the league, whilst McCarthy and Forster us the experience but not the quality and Bazunu looks to have nether! As this January transfer market we’ve literally gotta be signing like 6/7 players to have any chance of staying up, so it’ll certainly be interesting to see whether these new owners do give a toss or not! |  |
|  |
| Saints v Brighton matchday thread on 15:54 - Dec 26 with 2158 views | SFC_Referee | Just no cohesion whatsoever between that team, with soo many players struggling to even complete basic passes! As when you look at who’s been playing well, you’ve got practically nobody, whilst for playing poor you’ve got practically everyone bar KWP, Edozie and Salisu (as well as maybe Adams but that’s simply as he’s had nothing to do!). As if Nathan Jones was a decent manager we’ll see him bring on Stuey for one of Djenpo or Elynousie as well as Aribo for Diallo, even more so with the fact that we get 5 subs these days, but unfortunately that just won’t happen and is why we’re probably gonna loose this game like 4/5-0 |  |

| Saints v Brighton matchday thread on 15:55 - Dec 26 with 2144 views | 10i | Finally we See the game we expected to See last week. Looks like a PL Team totally outclassing a L1 Team... The players have adopted very fast to the Level of Jones, who seems Not to be able to recognise the strength and weaknesses of players after working for two month with them. Three of that Team should never have Started that game... On the other side we still would be at 0:0 if we only had a PL-GK. In fact even if McCarthy had started. |  | |  |
