Doesn't really matter though does it as we are gone and they are sticking with their man 

[SaintRobbie]

Not posted for a very long time. Enough is enough - totally useless, underwhelming and ineffectual manager.

Sack him now. Pay for the best manager available- don’t care who - the players aren’t his anyway. Get rid NOW - out of his depth

THIS.  

Far too many players that aren't of good enough quality.

[RedArmy]

That’s relegation confirmed for me. 

[Saint86]

RASMUS AND JONES OUT. 

[Saint_clark]

Jones couldn't get down the tunnel quick enough.

[bpsaint]

Feels like villa in 05 that does. We’re down, no doubt.

[trousers]

Jones straight down the tunnel

[Mr X]

Straight down the tunnel for the genius! 

[coalman]

He does look pretty broken stood on the touch line. I worry for his welfare I really do

I'm completely deflated. Yes Jones the front foot aggressive was working but you fucked it by a) playing Janny, b) waiting to freshen it up when we were clearly tiring.

This squad is decent enough to survive with a competent manager.

We've got some good new players now. Ralph would have kept us up with this squad.

 

Thank God we were only playing against 10 men today or we'd have been annihilated in the second half. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Jones disappears straight down the tunnel.

Hopefully to collect his P45.

[OttawaSaint]

Jones and Bednarek. What a valentines couple. Fuck off!

Straight down the tunnel for Rarebit, pack your bags 🤡.

[Saint NL]

He legged it down the tunnel. little bitch knows it's over

[SNSUN]

Well there goes MOTD for another week. 

 

Gotta try and work out where the Championship highlights are these days.  (Kidding, the wife is a Norwich fan so I'm well aware where they are!)

Agree. Rasmus strikes me as a fraud.

[saintjimbo83]

Get this C*nt out of our football club TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!

shameful, absolutely shameful second half performance against a team with an awful away record and 10 men, 10 f*cking men.

 

[Yorkshire Saint]

He has to go there is no way we are getting out of this if he stays. But my feeling is the board won't do it. 

[FarehamSaintJames]

Relegation confirmed then.

Cheers Nathan. Cheers Rasmus. 👍🏻

[obelisk]

Completely unable to control the game against 10 men. That in itself is a sackable offence. We're down for sure.

Yes, Ankersen should be made to pay for his part in this debacle. And he managed to make it worse by giving his man another week so we had to endure today's total embarrassment.

[Archers Road Stand]

You're a clueless cunt if you applauded those players off today. They've been hiding behind two piss poor managers. Not fit to wear the shirt. Sport Republic OUT. 

[Bewildered]

Played that second half like we were the ones playing with 10.

[Sir Ralph]

Has he been fired yet?

Don't think he can blame the players this time. He has just sat back and watched the game slip away. No tactical changes or subs until it was too late.

Don't, his payoff will more than cover any private care he may require.

His time should have been up before he got here. 

[OttawaSaint]

Second goal was classic Shitnarek too, backpeddling off balance then the hopeless lunge to block it straight back into the path of the scorer and him on his arse out of the play. 

Comical that  Rarebit thinks he's the best CB.

Well, the genius that is Ankersen decided he had to be given more time so it's on him.

[Saint NL]

Less possession and fewer passes than a team that had 10 men for an hour.

Relegation confirmed.

What a great day for the club, well done all those involved, I hope you're happy with yourselves. 

Time to rip it all up and start again.

I want him out of the club. But at the same time I don't want someone to suffer mental harm. The club would have been kinder if they'd sacked him last week than put him through this.

I'm sure the millions in compo for sacking him will cushion the blow. What is this club doing. They've not made a right decision in years. It's more than just the manager.

This club is rotten from top to bottom, sad and embarrassed for what we've become.

"If you can't take the heat ... "

[Baird of the land]

Yeah that's me done with Jones. I've held off voting for sack in polls till now. Just give it to Selles and make proper change in the summer. We are down now.

 

Didn't like starting lineup. To be fair AMN did better than i thought but Bednarek is truly the worst CB in the league. Congrats to Nathan Tella for being the best southampton player. Shame he is playing fopr Burnley

Can our managerial agorithim pick someone who can make a decent sub. After a good first half it wasSo obvious for 10 minutes beforehand that wolves were in ascendancy folling their 4 subs . Remidned me of the leeds game where we scraped a draw because Marsch was so tactically stupid

[Delmary]

Useless manager. Hope the owners take control and sack the clueless idiot!

[mitch01]

I can't believe it's Feb 2023 and I'm back to watching Bednarek kick it in our own net. Really typifies the kind of spineless defeat we have become specialists at. How did we find a way to lose that. Hard even really to blame Jones.

Some people must be angry for the sake of being angry. 
 

My first impressions seeing that lineup were that we’ve got a real chance of turning them over today. It’s not perfect but it could have been a lot worse. 

This aged well.

[ScandiSaint]

If we had one this I would have had some genuine belief but I really think that is it for us now. 

 

The half-time team-talk would have been easy for the Wolves manager - "they cannot win a game and they will lose confidence". What happened in that second-half? 

 

The midfield were so tired, we needed to make the change. So many players just cannot do the 90 mins.

Jones: "I could have stayed in a mining community, been a PE teacher and had a nice life, married a nice Welsh girl. Beautiful. I didn’t. And that’s nothing against Welsh women."

 

 

Now I know I shouldn't want us to loose just to hear the post match presser, but if it is anything like this peach of a comment I am more excited than the game.

 

 

Buckle up guys, this will be the peachiest of all the peaches

[Chez]

I know every man and dog will be calling for Jones' head, but some of the players should be criticised too. It wasn't our worst performance, thats how bad we have been this year, but it was still pretty poor.  

[The Curse of St Mary's]

Second half was embarrassing and an utter shit show by players and manager.

Absolutely, I don’t feel one jot of pity for him if he’s sacked, he will be set up for life with the compensation. 

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

This one hurts the most. I genuinely feel broken.

Can we please have that man out of our club? I honestly do not want to ever hear from him again.

[Suhari]

There were some positives.....our new signings look good. We have a squad good enough to stay up. I still believe this.

But we need a better manager: someone with some experience, authority and who can influence a match.

And more than that we need the Welsh twat to fuck off. Today.

[sfc4prem]

Glad I'd already got to the point of accepting relegation. This result doesn't hurt as I'm completely fucking numb to it all, which in itself is a shameful indictment of both our players' weaknesses and Jones's ineptitude. 

Life goes on. Fuck off Jones.

[The Cat]

Hahaha, fucking hell that second half was so bad. Pretty sure Bednarek is the worst of all our CB's including those in the U23's but still gets picked.

Could see their first goal coming a mile off, was obviously we needed to change formation and bring on subs 5 minutes before.

Baffling managerial decisions cost us the game. Surely he's gone now.
