Back to being typical Saints. Turn up for the big games v Man City and Chelsea and don’t give any effort to the games which we should be taking points from. Nice one lads!

Give Selles the job. What a win.

Written in the stars for Walcott to seal it all🤣 😩🫣

We’ve played fantastically today, but I still cannot get excited about taking points until the 95th min. Could just imagine how good a position we would have been in right now if we took 3pts last week 😩🥲 C’mon Saints, put in an incredible 2nd half performance and take 3pts today - I’m going to hide behind the sofa for the next 30mins 👀

Obviously want us to pick up 3pts at all costs, yet Jones stays. But, a draw and a point will likely mean he stays, yet is an awful result. A loss surely means he’s out the door, but I could never want us to lose ffs 😩 But at this stage, 0pts and Jones out the door better than 1pt after sh****g 3pts away?

Can’t even beat a Wolves side down to 10 for almost the whole game. Don’t know how much of a golden chance we need to get 3pts. I give up with this team.

INEVITABLE that we get 3pts now, surely, isn’t it? 🤣👀 Welcome home, Mario! Thanks for the gift! 🤣

I’m sure many laughed and baulked at the idea of Sean Dyche as our replacement for Ralph. At least he’d have restored some fight in our group of players, we’re sinking without any trace with Jones, there’s just no way we’re out of the bottom three for the rest of this season, that’s us done.

Got in late from work. Don’t know why I was looking forward to this, what a mess, turning it off as soon as I’ve turned it on, we’re not going to any final, we’re in for a hiding. Shame for those who made the effort to go tonight.

All fun whilst it lasted, didn’t even make it to deadline day 😒😩

Inevitable.

100% fact.

Two things that irritate me the most: 1) Buying new players to try and improve the side, yet sit them on the bench for entireties of the match and still stick with a same XI that we’ve had all season and wonder why we are still as shit as we were before the World Cup when all the other teams are buying and sticking them straight in. 2) Strikers. No goals = Starting with Adam Armstrong and Che Adams. Sheer lack of urgency to have bought anyone in, should have had someone in early January, nevermind in the summer and we are STILL waiting, 31st January is going to be FAR too late, our lack of goals are evidently going to relegate us and the board can thank the time they’ve wasted to bring anyone in for that. The only question on my mind now is, who is actually going to stay with us when we go down and who are we losing? We are effectively down with the sheer lack of points we have had from our “winnable run” - absolutely no chance we are getting 25+ pts from here.

Man. Seriously didn’t make any changes at half-time? ffs. No Willy, no Alcaraz, No Orsic, No Mara. Must have been quite happy with our abysmal first half, destined to lose this - Must be the Southampton managers’ way to be reactive to us going 1-0 down and not proactive being overrun at 0-0 😩

Probably because we’re still the same team that played the first half of the season when we were poor then. No new additions playing, nothing new up front, is it any surprise that Che and Adam Armstrong haven’t turned into goal machines, they’re still not good enough for us, but the board have sat on it for most of January now too and the games we need to win/are winnable against teams around us are becoming fewer before the big teams come calling.

Gone the young route again, with possible re-sale value if he does well, rather than experienced and proven. That being, I cannot imagine we are looking for an ST on top of this N.Jackson purchase. It doesn’t help us with the situation we are in now, we need whomever comes in to hit the ground running, like you said, score 10+ goals to win us the points to keep us up, sorry, just can’t see it with N.Jackson 😢

So much for Premier League experience, going for an unproven 21 year old who has hardly found the net in 30+ games. I’d have expected far better for £20m. A gamble on wether he comes good is one we cannot afford in our position right now, we need guaranteed goals, proven goalscorer. As much as a backward step it may seem, of the targets spoken about recently, Ings is far better than any, especially compared to £20m on this guy, you’d get Ings for a snip of that price. I hope I’m wrong if this goes through.

The management just need to offer Lorient £25m in an offer that is suitable for us financially and Moffi a lucrative deal to come to the EPL, he’s the type of guy we are crying out for and after that Everton win, we have a chance now to stay in this league and make back what we’ll shell out for him in the TV money that we won’t lose out on by going down!

I said this over Xmas, if we didn’t get a striker in at the start of the window, before the Nottm Forest match, we’d probably get nothing from the remaining 4 winnable games before we head into Feb/March and tackle teams in the top half of the table. I don’t know how a board of so-called football experts couldn’t see we have nobody capable of scoring a goal and couldn’t have an striker and attacking options completed before or within the first few days of the window when we needed them most. Even the most positive of supporter must see there is no escape from relegation if we end up losing this match, EVEN if we end up bringing in a striker to score us a few goals, our winnable games have been pissed away, just all too reactive when we should have been proactive in the summer or at latest EARLY January. We’ll have gifted all teams we are fighting around us 3pts from our games against us and that is criminal. 7 league losses or is it more potentially in a row, no team survives from that. Makes me sad and angry at the same time.

Man City done us all like a kipper 🤣 Maybe they wanted less games in the run-in while chasing Arsenal for the title, whilst we’re piling FA Cup and League Cup fixtures whilst being 20th with less depth, I love the win for much needed confidence, I just hope it’s no biting us in the ass long-term!

Always loved Nathan Jones 🤣👀 Sensible taking Lavia off for the weekend, can’t comprehend the confidence boost this sort of win will be with all (2 so far) our reinforcements still to be integrated into the squad, Livramento to come back too. Nathan, let’s get Orsic up to speed for Saturday, eh? 😉

Haha, still think it’s a wretched appointment in view of who else we could have had, but if we get a few more QUALITY and EXPERIENCED reinforcements in before the Everton game and he miraculously keeps us up, I will happily eat as much humble pie as I have to!

It is mighty frustrating that it gets us nothing on the points table, I just hope it lifts some much needed confidence around the club if we see it out, we need a win of some sort, shame it wasn’t Nottm Forest!

The Saints irony that we’ll end up picking up a win today when it’s worth nothing but a few quid and an extra, un-needed game whilst we’re in a massive fight for our EPL status 🥲
