Everybody else held the line. anybody goalside was offside. JWP showed so little leadership as captain. 17 minutes ago, vin said: Sounds as though McCarthy did his hamstring in towards the end of the game. Probably why Ward-Prowse dropped back to the goal line on the free kick. So, which was it then? JWP doing something bizarre or trying to make up for injured keeper?

Ralph still continues to pick him though, despite having someone of KWP’s quality who’s being forced to play out of position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Ralph is also failing to do his job or we'd be far better at game management and less inclined to surrender, back off and reduce ourselves to a panic stricken shambles. He should be drilling the players on how to manage games when we are in front but he's not capable of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally you sack the manager because its easier than selling 7 or 8 players. Only problem is ralph has either signed or inherited and then kept around players who aren't good enough. So only himself to blame. He's had 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 How do you explain this? Saints player fouled in centre of pitch and stays down. Ref allows play to continue with Brighton attacking....they could have scored. Ball eventually gets to Saints goalkeepers hands. Ref then turns round goes back, and books the Brighton player! If he's booked him I assume it was a foul, so why no free kick to Saints originally? Am I missing something?? Other than us having yet another useless ref?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint michael Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 It seemed so inevitable the late goal. We were on the back foot trying to contain them in the second half and the team looked really tired. Team given no help or direction to shake it up or regain control.

Disco Stu Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 Another game our opponents have had the last laugh. Hardly surprising for this team to throw the lead away. We've been doing it for years and Ralph still doesn't know how to fix it. It's nonsense to suggest we don't have the players. Sure, the quality of the squad is bottom half, but its on par with other clubs in this league and yet they don't hold the horrible records we do. Teams below us have recruited new managers and found new form. Meanwhile we're still dropping leads every week and making things difficult for ourselves. We'll be fighting for survival this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really - it tells everyone that we severely lack mental strength and high concentration levels, that our second half fitness isn’t where it should be, and that Ralph struggles tactically with his game management once we’re in the lead. It’s the perfect statistic to tell any opposing player or manager that goes behind when facing us, that with a change of tactics and personnel we’re very likely to cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 I try not to let football ruin my mood these days, but that one has really pissed me off. The dropping points thing is grim reading, but I think it's worth remembering it's not a solely Ralph stat. We did the same under Hughes and Pellegrino.

Ade Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 21 minutes ago, niceandfriendly said: Agree with you about Ralph but Ely came on and made a cracking challenge to be fair to him. Got booked for it of course. Yep, even though we managed to throw away another 2 points with some schoolboy play, I thought that today's referee was possibly the worst I have ever seen. His display was bordering on criminal. Duffy should have had two yellows first half. He seemed to be letting a lot of their 'fouls' go, but none of ours. The decision to not only give a free kick against Ely when it was a perfectly good tackle and then book him as well, and booking Salisu when all he appeared to do was throw the ball back to where the free kick should have been taken were very costly. We have seen some incredibly 'poor' refereeing since the club complained about Mike Dean and one wonders if there is some sort of vendetta against us from the Premier League referees. Maybe it's just me with my Saints bias thinking this but, my God, today's ref certainly gave us nothing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather we parked the bus, scored goals on the break, and won the bloody game. Sadly we're terrible, slow, indecisive crap on the break. Making chances by forcing errors is our highest probability route to goal, as we've got no creativity to build and hardly any pace in transition to play on the break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 I just can’t even begin to fathom what was going through JWP’s head with that pass. 1-0 at home to a ten man side, who were sh*t with eleven. All he had to do was run forward with the ball and if a tackle came in, boot it down the line. Instead he plays a blind pass across the front of his own box, straight to a Brighton player. No manager can account for that level of baffling decision making. Were we great second half? No, but we were comfortable and Brighton were hardly world class themselves. We had the chances for that to be a comfortable 2/3-0 win. WTF McC and JWP were doing for that free kick either, I’ve no idea. This one’s on the players for me and their collective mentality. They’re the most consistent bunch of gutless bottle jobs I’ve ever seen. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
