Mattsgrandad added 22:21 - Mar 1 Pure embarrassment and on nationalTV too. A total laughing stock. Been watching saints since 1966 and this squad is dreadful. No urgency, no proper tactics, the worst forward line I've ever seen at this club. We need a couple of years in the championship and clear out this over paid useless rabble and it can't come fast enough for me,

WestSussexSaint added 22:43 - Mar 1 Utter shambles! I haven’t felt so low since the 9-0’s. It’s no wonder fans aren’t turning up to watch when the players deliver such clueless drivel. Be clear this one is on the players. The decision making was awful. Whether heading an attempt at goal when the ball was 12 inches off the ground to whatever our two centre backs were doing to concede both pens. The fans deserve better and at the end of the day they will decide whether it is worth spending their hard earned money on a group of wasters who don’t deserve their wages.

Bawdrip added 23:12 - Mar 1 Total ineptitude. The two ridiculous penalties were awful defending. I'm doing the five hour round trip for Saturday's match so decided to watch this on tele. Just glad I wasn't there in person. Some woeful performances tonight from players who you would think should be vying to get a first team place.

dowater added 09:12 - Mar 2 i think that the entire saints squad should put this weeks wages to charity as they dont deserve the huge sums of money that they are being paid. 1st division here we come, at least we might win a few more games. to be honest, i cant wait to go down and for all the rubbish on exuberant wages to leave. its just a shame that we will also loose the good players like JWP, KWP, ABK, MS, RL etc. for rock bottom prices as they know we will want to clear the wages. with that we will also loose all our up and coming talent and be left floundering in the lower divisions. i blame the board for the transfer decisions. to sell PL players like romeo for cheep and replace them with unproven kids, what did we expect.... we were trying to copy Brentford. the main difference is, that they brought emerging talent when in the lower leagues and honed their skills and team cohesion, in the lower leagues with no one looking. then when on the big stage PL, they shone. we actually thought that we could do that from the off in the PL??? when are the owners going to realize that there business model is all wrong. to be in the PL is a money looser. most if not all clubs loose money. yes we may get the odd gem and sell for good money, but you dont get that every year, just once in a while. we need a base team of PL quality players and then introduce the emerging talents one at a time, let them settle then introduce the next, not buy 5-6 youngsters and hope that we can stay up. in all my years of supporting this club, this is the lowest i have seen it and seriously makes me wonder if i will buy another ticket... got my brother in law coming over from OZ this year and was going to take him to a game, but not sure i can handle the embarrassment

wibbersda added 09:31 - Mar 2 We have no identity anymore. We had 22 shots over 500 passes and 75% poss, yet we have no composure on the ball. How is this even possible, other than massive confidence issues. All we keep hearing is "we are all working extremely hard". Well, clearly not hard enough! We appear to have a ragbag bunch of misfits, some with great skills, but I think we are at the stage where the manager needs to throw a few Fooks into them, rather than the soft centeredSouthampton approach. We also now see why Orsic, CCA, Lyanco are not in the first choice 11.

Block8 added 10:01 - Mar 2 The most frustrating thing about being sat in a sparse crowd & watching a 4-2-2-2 system that you know doesn't work, is that you can do nothing about it! Our approach play was more like a waltz than a football match, slow, slow quick, quick slow. We either went forward really slowly and then, getting to the edge of the box, went backwards again or just thumped the ball forward to two under six foot strikers? We play so slowly that when we get to the other end there is absolutely nowhere for the forwards to run except offside, two examples of that tonight/last night. I have an outrageous idea, maybe we could play with a back four that is a back four and maybe, just maybe use two of the thirty six wingers we have as wingers? Move the ball faster using the triangle pass and move system that is practiced in training and plonk the ball into the box for our strikers to have a go at? Radical I know but maybe worth a try!
