A good summery of our positives from today's game. Nice one Viking. 😀

Saints midfield be like:

The starting line up was all wrong today and that's on him, and as an appointment I think he's a poor choice BUT the one saving grace today is that he did spot the shittest players and sub them off. I mean, any fan could do the same but at least he did it.

3-1 actually flattered us. Brighton should have rinsed us by more.

Ah thanks.

I'd take CM, AM and Striker. We also need another FB, GK and probably others but I'd take the first 3 for a start.

`I thought we could only make 5 subs 3 times? Haven't we had 5 subs over 4 times?

Send him off!!!

That counts as a non-set piece goal right...

Penalty. Here comes the 4-3 win!

Brighton's recruitment has been excellent. Similar to ours back in the early Koeman days.

I know people aren't fond of the 3 CB system but 4 at the back is hardly wowing us. ABK, Salisu, DCC - I still think those CBs in a back 3 is a no-brainer. If Jones wants to go with that system in the future then so be it. Can it be worse than this?

Yes he is. 😁

How much time did March get just then????!?!?!?!!? FFS we really are plop.

Fair play to Jones he's seen which of our players have been shit and is replacing them. Just a shame we can only use 5 subs...

If we go out in January and sign more "talented youngsters" I will despair of this club. That model works if we are a stable Premier League club. We are not. We need experience and we need it now. Some of the passing from us in this game has been shit. Half hearted running about. It's embarrassing.

Do we still forfeit a game 3-0 if we get 5 players sent off? Seems like a plan right now... 🙃

We are so poor. I'd have taken boring Dyche football over this.

Edozie dribbling at least gives us the opportunity to get free kicks in a dangerous area. And if not we keep the ball for a few seconds. We don't want to burn him out but he does need to play more when we are so short of decent attacking options.

Running around like headless chickens. Free kick to us

McCarthy has his flaws but surely we can't persist with Bazunu much longer...

Jeez Bazunu

This is the reason I personally think it's our season to drop. There are no weak teams this year, the likes of Wolves are dropping £40 million + on International players (yes I know that's not an indication of their success but still...) and our team lacks experience and is guilty of profligacy in front of goal. On top of that we've taken a massive gamble over an unproven lower league manager. I'm not saying we're doomed... ... because we stand as much of a shot as the others to get ourselves out of it (especially if we buy in the transfer window) but right now things are not looking good. We probably need around 30 points from 23 games so we need a better than one-point-per-game ratio which we've not even hit so far. I'm not going to say "We're better off in the Championship anyway" because technically we wouldn't be BUT I do think even with the odd sale we'd be in a good place squad-wise for an instant return.

Not to do it again.

Just seen Edozie’s miss. Yikes. But still a positive learning experience for the future.
