Opposition teams are opening us up at will. We got lucky last night that it was only 3. Confidence is extremely low and Ralph appears unable to restore it. This one will be over in the first 25 mins.

Already 2-0 by that point with the game gone. No point getting injured

We looked ok first half. But equally, you just knew a goal against would be enough to destroy the confidence. And that the next 2-3 or 4 would follow. Fortunately, they ran out of time.

All the other teams, bar West Brom are picking up the odd win. Some against us. It's not as unlikely as you think. Where do you see us getting the next point? Can't see us beating Sheff Utd away.

1 point from the last 24 available. For reference, here is the current table:

Looks like on this occasion, he has not been able to restore confidence from the 9-0 loss. We need new ideas. But who is available, and who can we even afford?

People need to wake up and look at our recent form. Last 8 games table looks like this. Unless something changes...

Barely mustered a chance for the last 8 games. I agree.

We must be the worst performing team in the league right now. Perhaps only second to Sheff Utd?

Well, at least if he got sent off right away we'd know he's doing it on purpose 😉

But for McCarthy. Defence all at sea.

So depressing being a Saints fan in lockdown at the moment. Look forward to the games all day as a bit of an escape from the mundane. And end up feeling even worse by the end. Come on Lads. Please give us something to shout about!

Yes. Confidence is destroyed. They are running freely through us as if there is noone there. Could be a heavy one if they get another soon.

Unfortunately we usually play slow and lethargic football in the second half. And offer very little threat on the opposition goal. Couldn't even break down 9 man Newcastle.

It does feel like a fix. But I can't see how. Too big a scale!

Crazy game. Yet again two decisions against us to knock the confidence. Fortunately, there was no ambiguity with Romeu's amazing tackle. Just an amazing piece of play. Or he'd be off.

The decisions against us are starting to get ridiculous. We can't score a goal. Can't get a pen. Have everything given against us. No wonder the players are frustrated.

yep. Ref was too obsessed about the leg. Doesn't see the hand on the chest.

Trouble with that VAR decision is - the players heads may drop as YET AGAIN we've been denied by VAR. They need to keep their heads up after this.

Never going to give that one.

Biased commentary anyone? Hah, who is the co-commentator? Must be ex-Leeds surely.

Adams has been a bit off-pace so far. Not involved.

Can't see that. Game is being played at 100mph. Mistakes abound. Somethings got to give eventually.

Ah can't believe we got a point. It was attack after attack from Chelsea but we can take heart. Really impressed with Salisu, Djenepo and thought Tella looks to have really improved too.

All those terrible tackles flying in and he books Mccarthy for time wasting. Comical.
