Can you believe, we get new owners that spend money and it actually makes us worse. Trying to think of another example but really scratching my head

Even the best sides in the world have played shit under bad managers.

As bad as last season's game.

[jabei]

With all the hate for Diallo, Jones & Walcott I’m not surprised it’s not been mention how incredibly shit JWP has been today. 
even if he now scores won’t take away how abysmal he has been. Yet to be one of our trademarked scapegoats. 

[OldNick]

Was it a set piece

[Delboy Dave]

“I’m NoT a MiRaClE wOrKeR” - N Jones

🤣

[egg]

Oh FFS. 

This idiot needs to go today. 

I would genuinely take Big Sam. Fuck it, I'd take Paul Doswell. 

[Suhari]

3-0

He has to go.

He's made that backline so solid! 

Brentford are basically Barcelona and we've matched them. So unlucky!

[the colonel]

1st time ever said this 'where is fat Sam!!!!'

[thornhill_saints]

Keeper or what

[Billy the Kidd]

Jesus wept. This is just awful. 

Surely he needs putting out of his misery. If NJ was a horse, he’d have been taken out the back of the stables and shot.

 Dont think he will go after this, but lose next weekend and I think he will be gone.

[teamsaint]

We do concede a lot of goals from headers.

 

[bogwoppit]

Is anyone actually surprised? They or he need to admit they made a mistake but who’s available now and who will want to come based n our current position.

Anyway, I’m sure they’ll be some people on here saying we need to give him time! I remember the days of Branfoot and this is far worse!

So easy. Fucking dispise this club. 

its the ying and the yang for me.

The good - record spend on recruitment of players in both windows

The bad - the recruitment of a manager from poundland

Yeah at 0-0 blast passing to donkey Adams instead of rolling it in. Terrible!

[obelisk]

Should be able to relax into the certainty of relegation by Easter at this rate.

They’ve invested heavily (for us) in the squad but gone tinpot with the ‘manager’.

Bizarre, and the only thing I’ll say in his favour is that ain’t his fault.

He's been a long way from being the worst player!

I'm no JWP fan boy, but he has ran his heart out. Only one that looks like they give a fuck.

We spent a fortune on shite. 

[UpweySaint]

Embarrassingly fucking easy that goal. Pressure on the ball? Challenging a man? Having anything resembling a shape? Forget it. 

 

Brentford hold up such a mirror to the clusterfuck that is our club. No stars but a clear plan on the pitch and off it executed well.

Then leave and we'll get one in!

[Saint Fan CaM]

And there it is…player drifts into the area unmarked…goal. You could see it coming. I called 3-0. Jones really needs to go immediately - he is way out of his depth.  Even JWP has turned shit under his stewardship.

Easter? We'll be toast by valentine's day. 

[saintant]

Fans forum first question for Mr Ankersen;

'Could you list all the attributes that attracted you to Nathan Jones and have you been pleased with your decision?'

[Saint_Jonny]

If it were in any doubt, today confirms it. This Saints side are definitely heading down.

This genuinely is worse than the branfoot. We at least competed under him. It was just turgid football, and his dislike for MLT I didn't like.

That’s what makes no sense, you spend all that money on new players then get a cheap, shite manager. If that’s not shooting yourself in the foot I don’t know what is !!!

[coalman]

He's in with a realistic shot of being worse than Steve Wigley. He's already nearly up to the losses count in about half the games. 0.33 points a game now.

We look absolutely clueless.

I normally go to these but I will give this one a miss......could be quite embarrassing.....not to mention nasty....

Yes. It's happened several times, including to us - Sturrock, Wigley, Redknapp.

Two managers in a row that a 3-0 defeat at Brentford has made me lose faith in.

Look on the bright side. BHA just got a late winter vs Bournemouth.
