Sounds like a few home fans joining in with the "Nathan Jones what a wanker" and "sacked in the morning" chants.

He looked up at them with a lost expression on his face.

[Saint NL]

Scarpa will score for the icing on the forest cake

[captainchris]

AA instead of Stuart Armstrong etc etc etc... This guy can just get lost, clueless doesn't begin to describe his incompetence...

Does nobody on the pitch understand the position we are in ?

They don't understand what position they're meant to be in...

[hypochondriac]

Lots of anti Jones chanting. Good.

“Nathan Jones, what a wanker, what a wanker” and “sacked in the morning” echoing out from the fans. The away fans, unfortunately.

Bugger. I was hoping it’s our fans

[Baird of the land]

70 minutes, no shots on target. Quality, clearly no need to recall or sign anyone.

Me too, but ours are too depressed right now to pick up their voices.

[LiberalCommunist]

Fuck the NHS Rishi, sort this rabble out now!

[Saint Billy]

This squad has had the meat picked from the bones for a few years now and slowly replaced with cheaper alternatives. We are now down to the bare bones and yet our illustrious owners think that buying young kids with no real experience can not only earn big bucks but also help us to survive in the prem ffs. 

Then to rub salt into the wound, they hire a manager with no top flight experience and with more belief in Jesus than his squad, to get this shower out of trouble. 

Wow Rasmus and SR, I don't blame you for all the carnage, but,you are really ramming home that nail in the coffin.

Wow.

Anti-Jones chants. A lot of them.

Dragan joining in live on MSTeams with a bit of luck. Throat cutting motions on the big screens 😀

[jawillwill]

Got a feeling we're going to win this. The signs are there.

[Lighthouse]

I genuinely don’t believe that Jones, nor any of the players (Aribo aside) has done nothing other than try their best. I’d never go so far as to call NJ a w*nker, they’re all just hopelessly out of their depth in this league.

But but but what’s our xG? The data…. the data…

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Forest bringing on a new signing? A signing? surely not? If the window was open wouldn't our club have concuded brining in one of the players we've been crying out for for months? But all other clubs don;t have it as difficult in January as we do it seems. Grrrr...

[OttawaSaint]

This is the trouble, all of these players will get new teams but we'll be stuck supporting Saints in the lower leagues. They don't give a flying fuck do they. Barely trying. 

[badgerx16]

Everton will be really looking forward to our visit to Goodison. No matter how shit you might be, your next league game is against Southampton.

Agreed, we’re clearly just toying with them.

No chance, Forest have proper supporters. Saints fans haven’t had any guts since the Lowe protests 15 years ago. Those of us starting chants to get rid of Pellegrino were shouted down. Compliant little mice and not fit to lace the boots of the Branfoot generation of fans.

Picked apart piecemeal for eight years. 

[hackedoff]

Jo Tessem has just said we need to gamble as we are bottom of the league.

I think that gambling over the past few years is what's caused the bottom of the league scenario.

[OttawaSaint]

This isn't even entertaining. It's just hoofball back and forth and falling over, a lot of falling over.

It was the away fans singing that. Saints fans are fickle but they don’t turn quite so toxic so quickly.

[SNSUN]

I reckon this finishes 1-1 tonight. The ultimate bad result as we don’t win and we don’t lose (meaning something might actually get done). The ultimate papering over the cracks result. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie overplays it (as he has done since his very first game). We get caught out and Forest ease right past us and nearly get a chance. Our replacements have just as many flaws, as the ones we took off.

[Saint NL]

I don't see where a goal will come from.

This is dire. Forest are sitting back and we still can't keep the ball

Saints are like my kids, had weeks to get their homework done and bag ready for school but don't even know where there bag is and the bus is coming around the corner...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

And again. Edozie with a chance to get a ball into the box. Chooses to go further and loses it.

I'd take that right now. I think it'll be 2-0 Forest.

How? Their goal is a ball free zone.

Not a chance. We don’t even look like having a shot, let alone scoring a goal.

This is the darkest time before the dawn, 2nd half we will look like a team reborn.

 

If we dont I will come back and delete this.

Hi Convict, I'm from the future... We're awful here too, sorry.

[Crab Lungs]

Don’t agree with the Jones chants. He’s been here for four, five  games. 

Hardly culpable entirely for this utter sh1t show alone.

Why no sh1t for the utterly useless players? They’ve mugged us all off for 2-3 years now… and get away with it

 

[DT]

‘Nathan Jones, you’ve been here too long’

That'd require us actually putting together a move that results in a shot that actually goes into the goal. We ain't scoring until February or March, let's face it.

[Saint Matty 76]

Forest have done their research because they can clearly see that if you let us have the ball in front of you we will not break you down

He doesn't have a clue. Are you watching this?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We looked likely to make an error, even before we had to push up. But our back 3 would be really punished against a better side.

Silly post. Game of Football being compared with the dire situation in our NHS? Don’t be daft🙄

I don’t see how Jones survives this, I really don’t. 
 

So poor for weeks now even the most stubborn of owners could see were fucked under him. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Dross. From the top down.

[Saint NL]

Adams playing like Harry Kane and dropping deep. Just without the vision or ability.

Apparently he pissed off the Forest fans when he was at Luton last season

[The Kraken]

If he hadn’t been so recently appointed, this performance would convince a lot of clubs to immediately get rid of the manager.

Im done with him. Jones out. Utterly useless manager overseeing a disorganised rabble. A decent manager wouldn’t get this lot much, but we’re playing even worse than the sum of our parts.

We've hoofed it long so much Che Adams back has given up.

Blind faith. Plus we’re Saints, if there’s a shitter way of doing things, we’ll find it.
