Even when Saints get into good attacking positions there seems to be no confidence among the players that anything will come of it.

Waltz through Saints defence. Saved.

We just don't seem to be able to string anything together at all. There's a losing mentality at the place now and I really cannot see where a win is coming from now that normal service has been resumed.

How many Saints passes go backwards? Or into touch? Or to an opponent? Bournemouth taken their foot off the pedal and it's still easy for them.

Saints defence parts again. Saved.

Attacking free kick by Saints. Back with Ramsdale.

Bournemouth have had 7 attempts on goal (is that all?). Saints have had none.

We look totally clueless.

Wide open spaces in the Saints defence. Shot from 20 yards. In the net. 0-2. Easy.

Call that defending? 0-1. Here we go then.

Ref evens up the yellows. Smallbone guilty of something or other.

Poor free kick. Again.

Cook catches Sully. Gets a yellow.

Saints under pressure already.

The inclusion of Smallbone in midfield eh? Preparing for next season?

Manning missed two sitters.

Doesn't bode well for next season either.

I can only imagine the players wanted a weekend off in March.

That was shocking from the players. Walking Russball still infects the team.

Less than 2 minutes to go and we're fannying around at the back.

This sideways Russball still hasn't been exorcised.

That attack was dreadful. Just cross the bloody thing.

Walking football. No pressure on their defence at all.

Plan must be to concentrate on the league then.

And there we have it. Our defending is a shambles. 0-1.
