"Che Adams is as good as any striker in the air". Selles must have been dozing when Adams failed to score with his head unchallenged from about a foot against Wolves. That statement is just so daft.

Saints actually seem to be getting worse. In fact I'm struggling to think of any player that has improved during their time at Saints. Anybody arriving with any talent or flair seems to have it knocked out of them. Players arrive with a history of goalscoring only to find that they become nervous and incompetent wrecks in front of goal - that's if they even get picked to actually play - in a team that has long had a problem finding the net. Under the current regime the likes of Davies, Osgood, Lambert and Pelle wouldn't get a look in. Le Tissier would most certainly be banished to the sidelines because he doesn't do enough without the ball. Something is seriously wrong at Saints. The playbook, if there really is one (and I'm struggling to see any evidence for it), needs ripping up and flushing down the sewer. At least we can now abandon any hope for this miserable season. The plan for next season needs to be put in place right now.

Presumably even the optimists must be hearing the fat lady's warbling by now.

At least we saw that 2005 Saints team scoring some goals. Only problem was that they seemed to think that games lasted only 85 minutes that season.

Selles has been a bad egg at this club all season. The stink has permeated every corner. A deep clean is required.

I think I'd welcome Nathan Jones back for a bit of a laugh in these last few games. At least he might have a fight with one or two of those clowns.

Franny on TV struggling to hold on to his emotions. He must be angry with that lot.

Crap stadium. Crap strip. Crap players. Crap managers. Crap everything.

Just sack Selles now. The man hasn't got a clue.

It's not as if Bournemouth have really had to break a sweat. Just workmanlike does the job at St Mary's. Yet another defeat by one goal. All too easy for opponents at that crap stadium.

Not that I care about VAR but why didn't they measure the position of the defenders armpit rather than his foot?

Doesn't matter anyway.

Offside.

0-1 down at home in a relegation must win game and nothing is happening. This just would not have been thought possible at the Dell. Opponents just love St Mary's now though.

There's no point keeping Selles in post now. Identify the man for next season and get him in place asap.

I'm surprised that anyone's still left suffering this rubbish inside St Mary's.

No width. Bournemouth totally comfortable with Saints powder puff rubbish.

Saints at last putting crosses into the box but the bloke they bought to convert them isn't even on the bench.

At least the team that went down in 2005 had a goal threat about them. This lot are gutless.

Even the commentators are dumbfounded by Saints tactics. "It's a game Southampton have to win". Yeah. We know.

So predictable. Stroll into the box. Hit a half shot and watch it roll into Saints net. The fat lady is warming up.

JWP not feeling well. Join the club mate.

Let's bring on our big target man, get some people around him, get some crosses in and and least try and make their 'keeper have something to think about. Oh? Our centre forward isn't playing or on the bench? We have "false" 9s? Oh ok. See you in the Championship.

Do you know, I think I'd prefer Jones antics to this surrender football.

Ron Davies or even Rickie Lambert wouldn't get a game with Selles in charge. This is beyond hopeless.
