He is right though. Only Smallbone, JWP, Vokins (and Gunn who had nothing really to do) played OK. Vestegaard, Yoshi, Danso, Romeu, Boufal, Adams, Long were all absolutely terrible.

Comfortable win......but an awful display and some of those players should be nowhere near the first team. And I don;t mean the youngsters who acquitted themselves very well.

What a goal....take a bow Vokins!

Yoshida and Vestegaard playing us into real trouble. Good grief we need some quality replacements in this window. Adams, Long, Yoshida, Vestegaard, Danso, Romeu all absolutely dire.

codswallop....outside of JWP been our most creative player

Very poor first half. Vestergaard showing why he is nowhere near the first team - nearly costing us a goal near half time. Danso, Adams, Romeu all looking terrible. Smallbone looks like he has something about him: JWP been MotM by a country mile. BOufal flattered to deceive. NOt many of these players will be troubling the first team any time soon............

Look at the VAR shots - impossible to call that offside. Utterly ridiculous.

Shows the ridiculousness of VAR - how on earth could that realistically be called offside?

Answer - very, very poor!

Good movement and skill from Smallbone until the shot! You watch Adams movement (or lack of it). Just now he was on his heels when if he had anticipated he could have been in. Maybe a loan for him is the best thing to rebuild his confidence - right now he looks terrible.

He is out of his depth - against a poor Championship team. He should have buried that chance after great work by JWP but instead took a stutter step. The play at the moment is reminiscent of how we were playing a few weeks back. Slow, ponderous and with no threat.

Lets hope our recruitment moving forward is better than last summer. Danso and Adams a complete waste of time and have added nothing to the squad at all.

This game showing the weakness of our squad TBH. Danso, Adams, Long, Romeu all very, very poor.

Who (danso) does not even make the squad!

Being back in the UK for this election has been fascinating. The parallels with the USA's last election are scarily similar. Chattering classes in the 'bubble' (London/DC) being essentially condescending to the wider public by indicating only they know best, disaffected voters in working class areas with little to no hope voting for change. Add in the media luvvies ramming their high minded opinions down peoples throats while living it up with their massive salaries and the snowflakes on social media believing social media is the be all and end all (hint: people gravitate to like minded people so these little bubbles are nothing more than that). As in the US the silent majority took their revenge at the polls. And whether you like him or loathe him Cummings ran a fantastic campaign (albeit against 2 of the biggest losers imaginable). Democracy wins.

Your blind hatred of Forster is beyond comical. He has done superbly up there - sometimes a change in scenery is required. All our GKs are poor - there has to be a link between the coaching and their capabilities.

Why? Because he let the ball bounce when he could have attacked it. The guy is simply shocking and should never be pulling on the Saints shirt.

Bertrand was as much at fault for the 1st goal. His positioning was terrible (as it was most of the game) - his mistake should have led to a 2nd goal as well but for a brilliant save from McCarthy. Stephens is not perfect but I think he is the best of our CBs despite the mistakes. All our CBs make mistakes every game - but Stephens is always there putting his body on the line and his heading has improved enormously. It staggers me how so many awful players (Cedric, PEH, Bertrand spring to mind) are given a free pass for some bizarre reason yet players who give 110% every game (JWP, Stephens) get slagged off at every opportunity.

You're entitled to your opinion, same as I am to mine. Mane was given a rough ride by many as was Tadic. Who's comparing Boufal to MLT? The point I was making is that the flair players drift in and out of games and today's fans will more often than not moan and whinge (as happened with both Tadic and Mane). SO you would rather see the sh**e that preceded Boufal coming on yesterday? When he came on it was exciting to watch with tricks, mistakes and flair - as opposed to the utter sh**e that preceded it that was one paced and predictable.

WHat utter s***e. Do you have an agenda? Bertrand was f*****g awful (again) and nearly cost us the game. Did you have your eyes shut when JWP was making tackle after tackle?

Spot on Shroppie. The haters hating on JWP: he was tenacious (yes he misplaced some passes but quite often no-one was showing for him so only pass was back) and in case anyone has forgotten - he has scored 4 of our Prem goals this season and him and Ings (6) are our only scorers of the last 10 Prem goals! Stephens has heart and was unfortunate for the first - Bertrand and Cedric were far, far worse than the 2 CBs today. I would happily see neither in a Saints shirt again although we are stuck with Bertrand. We are still an awful side but will enjoy the win!

LOL - beat me to it! I often wonder what many of our current fans would have made of MLT back in the day. Like Boufal, outrageously talented and mercurial but an absolute joy to watch. Someone you would pay money to see. Only Djenepo and Boufal could you say that about in our current squad.

Nuff said. With Djenepo he looks a constant threat - Redmond has been gash this season and does not deserve to start IMO.

Boufal, Djenepo, JWP (yes JWP), Ings were our stand out players. The rest (bar McCarthy) can all go screw themselves. Utter gash - back 4, PEH, Obafemi, Redmond were terrible. Cedric should never play for Saints again, the little scrote.

OMG - what a let off. Djenepo's assist should have been called for a handball! Ugly, ugly win but what a vital 3 points. Got to improve
