Okay, 2-1. Archer and a late TP off the bench.

Christ, this is turning into a game of ‘My grandma went to market’ but I’m sticking with it.

Okay, 4-3, Archer to score, a late TP off the bench, JWP own goal and a Sugawara header.

The rest of the season is a write-off. The hazard, and the trick that Juric needs to somehow pull off, is not allowing it to destroy the club and squad morale so much that we can't perform next season and come back up.

Love footie, love Saints - hate this fucking team and what this club has become.

And as I write that one of our best players (KWP) stands off the winger and guess what…goal.

Just hopeless.

Individual defending is so bad. Just simple stuff.

Forest are so basic, it's laughable how high up the league they are, but we just let them have efforts on goal unchallenged. It's really pathetic. There are plenty of players around the ball, they just aren't on it. Fucking weak.

Downes is slowly becoming my mortal enemy. I can’t believe there isn’t more analysis on some of his poor decision making (i.e the pass back to Bree before the second goal). 
 

I honestly hate this fucking group of players and the wanky coaching staff more than a rerun of Miranda on BBC Three. 

Standing around in box for 3rd as well.

He scored 24 Championship goals last season and we will be in the Championship.

He is shite. Couldn't give a toss what he did last season.

I really can't believe how poor we are the back. 

Nobody marking anyone. Letting them run through unchallenged. 

Juric has made us a better passing team but defensively it's exactly the same. Needs to change the formation and approach.

This will be 5 or possibly more by full time.

What possible formation would work? I'll wait.

Sorry for being overaggressive on that... Saints bring that out of me as of late.

Horrible. Starts with Aribo giving it away and then Bednarek doesn't get tight, twice. 

Too many passengers and lightweights. Second best everywhere.

Personnel are the biggest issue, piss weak, walk through midfield really doesn’t help the defence, or the attack come to that

You’d like to think these players are completely fucking embarrassed with themselves.

They are an utter disgrace.

They’ll pick up their £50,000 this week and not worry too much I would imagine

We won't be coming back up, probably for a long time.

Yeah, it's nothing to do with the formation. We've had men back for all the goals, they've just done their job terribly.

He is completely out of his depth in the Premier League, but we don't need him to be good enough for the Premier League next season. Why sell a player capable of scoring 24 Championship goals when you are going to be playing in the Championship? The time to sell him is not this season, it is after any potential future promotion.

Fucking hell. Can we agree now that Bednarek is simply not Premiership standard??

never has been good enough. He can play for team in the Prem, but as we saw when he wanted out, no other team at this level thinks he is any good.

There is nothing Juric can do other than put cleats on.

Juric OUT

Maybe he will be at the end of the season why would he stay? Probably has a get out clause in the 18 month contract

He symbolises everything that’s wrong with our club. Was there for both 9-0s and many other terrible defeats. Should have been moved on years ago.

I'm surprised that we've been allowed to stay in this league, we are a complete and utter embarrassment to the Premiere League brand.

They gave up before a ball was kicked at the start of the season

So yet again we have another manager that is wedded to a formation and then shoehorns players in. 

We know the players are shite but this 3 bollards at the back is horrific.

Flynn Downes, a Premiership footballer my arse.  But then you could say that about pretty much every outfield player.

Joke squad and I'd rather see the U21s play than this shower of shite


I still think Downes is being hung out to dry. 
 

Hes been bad, but he’s on his own AGAIN. 
 

Why do we seem to only play with one central midfielder?

They have given up full stop, doesn't matter who the manager is. Bunch of losers. No professional pride or bottle.

Agreed. But unfortunately I think most of them are just broken beyond belief. They can't raise themselves anymore. There is no pride left, just total lostness.

No other team has played this badly at this level and likely never will. It is highly probable we'll get no more points and only a handful of goals between now and May. The manager might even get the boot by the end of the season.

They are in the worst team in Premier League history and there isn't even a glimmer of hope to hold onto. No amount of money will help that.

So to a certain extent I can understand them.

Yeah. I thought "fair play to him" for digging in last season, but he's very lucky to still be playing in the PL. Not as lucky as Jack Stephens, Joe Aribo, James Bree and Adam Armstrong, mind!

or, you could sell him in the summer and buy another striker that scores 35 goals in the championship AND 15 in the prem. Yeah, I know, that's not realistic. Who would buy him for decent money ? 

May I suggest you just let fans vent on this thread and proper discussion about recruitment can happen later?

I actually am believing that next season we need a completely new starting 11.Not a single Saints player has earned the right to play for this club in the championship next season,it's beyond parody how bad they are and frankly how none of them play for the the shirt,the fans, anything.

We need a total clean slate get rid of the lot of them and rebuild but who would want our dead wood? (KWP fernandes and dibling aside)

Very poor 1st half performance where has the fight and aggression from Thursday gone? Really irritating this. All three goals totally preventable. Way too easy.

I know what you mean, but he's failed to do the basic defending required of him. Clattering people doesn't amount to much if you also let them run off you regularly.

I don't really get why we've gone back to the try and pass the across an back anytime we get around their area. That KWP shot at the end is only time since i've been watching that anyone took any responsibility to try and do anything.
