Baird of the land

Saints stumble from bad manager to yet another one. Tactically he actually he actually handed momentum to Leicester by taking off long. Utterly cowardly too. No doubt he’ll claim the most pointless point ever was vital. Please get rid off quickly.

Jwp’s ultimate Prem player saints player selections show our problem. No lambert anymore or Van Dijk to win headers at the back.

Felt sorry for long most of the half as no one would try playing a pass to his feet, all they wanted to do was the usual shovel out wide nonsense. Then finally when he gets a lovely ball he ******es it up by trying to pass the buck with an extremely difficult pass rather than just having a go as you’d want your striker to. If we are going to carry on the mindless cross stuff we should have Austin on. First 30 minutes thought we were very poor. Last 10/15 we were the better side but didn’t rest the keeper with either presentable opportunity we had. If I wasn’t so convinced the team would bottle it anyway i’d Think not taking those opportunities would be costly.

A couple of times we’ve already looked dodgy defensively.

Looks like we may have the ignomity of finishing bottom now WBA have learnt how to pick up points.

Most likely 3-1 loss. Start brightly score, rollover. Personally hope he rings the changes and brings in youngsters.

Agree completely. They should all be playing remaining games.

No I don’t particularly want him to stay.

What a surprise that our rivals are less pathetic than Saints xi. Coffin firmly nailed down.

More likely laughing their heads off at Saints capitulation.

It would at the very least have broken the game up and allowed an attempt to re-organise. Equally someone like Lemina who is composed on the ball usually would have been handy. The 2nd goal would have been stopped if Ward Prowse had of shown composure when the ball came to him in space at the edge of the box. Instead he wildly swiped at it resulting in the ball going straight back to Chelsea.

"A 2-0 lead is always a difficult one to protect." Ohh please Hughes that is just complete nonsense.

Today illustrates exactly why we are going down. Even 2 of our wins(against west ham and WBA away) felt like we tried to throw them away.

All season we've been pathetic when leading. It's worse when they make you hope by actually playing well and leading and then bottling it. Today nailed relegation on. Bad defending. Poor management not to bother trying to do anything whilst house collapses. Time to just accept relegation & play more of the u23's

Manager sat back and did nothing whilst we collapsed. Tactical genius

If we defend like this we'll concede 5 or 6 against lesser teams.

Why? We'd still cave at the slightest pressure even if they had 10.

Pathetic. JWP had chance earlier to take the ball down and show composure. Instead he shanked it back to them.

Again really poor defending of a cross. 2 men and they can't deal with Giroud.

Surely there will be retrospective action on that.

Apart from a horrid performance against West Ham hojberg has been good imo.

Expecting by end of today we’ll be pretty much relegated. Hope saints prove me wrong & relegation rivals lose their very winnable games.

I'd love us to bring back Adkins personally.

We need to beat Chelsea otherwise we really will look well adrift as Hudd & palace have very winnable home games.
