Fulham 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[obelisk]

So typical. Spurn early chances and then screw up in defence.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Massive JWP deflection. Should we not have been closing that down closer to the player though?

[OttawaSaint]

This is our big problem, play better, have chances, don't score and then concede a lucky one. Dunno where we go from here. Hapless.

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucksake. Just as I thought we were actually doing well and competing for once, yet another fluke OG goes against us.

[Convict Colony]

Typical they go for a Beckham to Roberto Carlos style corner, was going wide and JWP hooks it over Gaz Baz.

We're shit.

We look like we are at least trying today but unfortunately our strikers aren't of the calibre required! 

[Saint_Jonny]

Best we've played for months and we're still fucking losing. 

[Saint_clark]

If I achieve one thing before I die it will be to punch Birtles square in his fucking mouth.

[SotonianWill]

We are the famous Southampton,

The shame of the south,

We're losing to Fulham,

And we're going down

[niceandfriendly]

Jesus fucking christ

[Mr X]

Whole team switched off for the corner 

[tdmickey3]

It's better but we are wasteful in attack as usual and concede a flukey goal    🙄

[Maggie May]

This is the 2004-05 season all over again.

Join the queue

[Bad Wolf]

Weird the scoreboard says we're losing but I haven't seen Bazunu slagged off yet so we can't have conceded?

[Dman]

Lack of quality in both boxes cost us again today. The story of our season and the reason why we’re going down. 
 

Not sure there is much any manager in the world could do to polish this crock of shit. 

[Convict Colony]

I forget aribo was playing

Elyounoussi having a decent game but how has he not slipped in Aribo there? Fuck sake

I beg to differ! Usual misplaced passes and the reaction from Aribo when he should have put him through sums it up.

[DT]

Seriously. Admit mistake and appoint a decent manager. Dyche is our only hope now. Pathetic club.

He's still shit.

[ecuk268]

Confirmed JWP own goal.

[Convict Colony]

I want us to score a goal, sick of conceding all the time, someone play above their average and do a goal for me.

[obelisk]

Heads looked to have dropped already.

Would love Sean Dyche at Saints

Congrats. He let one in that he shouldn't have saved. Whatever makes you happy.

Yeah because I'm sure Dyche can turn Che Adams into RVN

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

Obv we've needed a decent striker for a couple of years, but now we're in the position of staring relegation in the face, every game that passes without one in the squad is a fucking huge blow. We might actually start getting wins from performances like this with a little bit of quality up front. We cannot wait 'til the end of the window.

Where do we go from here ? I'm beginning to form a rough idea.

[Mr Brightside]

Don’t deserve to be behind. 

[Convict Colony]

Can we please score from a corner

[Bad Wolf]

He's let several in this season that no keeper would have had a hope with but has been blamed regardless.

[Saint_clark]

Why do our defenders shit themselves when heading the ball from an attacking set piece? They all seem to close their eyes and let it bounce off the top of their head.

That season was full of 2-2 draws. I can’t remember when we last scored twice.

I’ve been a proponent of Dyche for about a year now. Would tighten us up and not concede. And keep us up. Need to be radical and get rid of Jones. Massive mistake. Going down will cost us much more than his compensation and Dyche’s salary. Can’t believe how incompetent our new owners are

[OttawaSaint]

This is depressing. Even when we play quite good we're still shit and look a long way from winning a game.

Do you know if there Is there somewhere to watch this please? Couldn’t see in on a (admittedly cursory) glance at the OS

Ugly football. Hoofball and try and win the second ball. Very little quality and good play. But it’s ok cos ‘we’re winning on xG’

playing like a (poor) championship team. Guess NJ fits right in. 

[SotonianWill]

"If you want a decent delivery theres your man"

"Ward Prowse set pieces best in the country"

Does he watch us ffs?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Salisu just let that one hit his head. Had he directed it, it would have been an excellent chance of an equaliser.

Probably surprised to be getting a chance from one of our corners.

We've scored less goals than the other team...So yes we do.

You just knew Bazunu was going to drop that.

[niceandfriendly]

Bazunu😂 How much did we spend on him?

Was it not Anyone but Ralph though, right?

[Mr X]

If on this evidence our awful owners SR can't see that unless we get a quality striker in  in January we are screwed! Then there's no hope 

[Sheaf Saint]

I know no ref is ever going to give a penalty for that, but Salisu missed that header because AM put his hand on his shoulder and prevented him from jumping.

He’s fucking shite. Pointless argument you’re trying to make here Twar. 

[SotonianWill]

When Fulham are on the break, watch Lyanco. Has no idea what he's doing

But then say 1 goal from a corner all season without realizing the contradiction.

Only when Fulham break? He's improved then.
