Yet another golden chance on the break. 

Utterly fucking woeful.

Sports republic are the worst thing to happen to Southampton since hitler.

could / should be 4 or 5 - 1 

[Saint NL]

Wow. We are so shit.

[AlexLaw76]

They should have scored again.....

[Lee On Solent Saint]

How the fuck are we still in this game? They should be at least four up. This is the bottom team in the league, and once again we may the opposition look like Real Madrid. 

[Lighthouse]

They should be down to nine. That's two nailed on second yellows they've got away with now.

But as you say, it's not like it would actually make any difference to the result.

Was the same last time we played them in the Championship in the game which would have won us the league. I think we were 1-0 up when they should have had a concrete straight red on a player who was already booked... nothing.

This is bollocks isn't it

I’ve really tried to be positive but this is appalling. There’s plenty of games left but we are getting worse. 

[Chez]

Manning lucky not to be booked.

sulemana makes things happen

[OldNick]

I really am not sure of SR's motives. Its not about making a successful football team thats for sure

[Suhari]

We should be about 5 down.

Brave.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Normally , teams chasing a game are vulnerable on the break. We're vunerable to a break at any time during a game. But when we are chasing the game, it's somehow even worse.

Could have been another easily there.

[Saint NL]

Boro are awful, they can't finish their dinner. If they could, we'd be looking at 4-1.

 

That's awful and we need real change 

[geoffnut]

This manager has to go now , it was always a bad appointment.

[Saint Matty 76]

Edozie brightest player again... why on earth was he dropped?

[Saint Scott]

What has alcaraz done to piss off Martin? Our best attacking midfielder can't get a game 

[Chez]

should be 3-1

[Convict Colony]

Martin could be seriously on the chopping block for the next international break.

[ScandiSaint]

Cannot believe the slowness and lack of urgency. We should be fighting to score twice and turn it around not hopefully trying grab draw.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice from Edozie. Not scared of getting a shot in.

In every league surely? Manager needs to be sacked asap.

No, I believe there's a pub in the Sussex Sunday Div 8 who have conceded one more, to be fair 

[OttawaSaint]

Downes is awful.

[harvey]

Edozie nearly scored....get him off now!

[Saint Scott]

He should be binned after this shit show. 

[RedWillie]

Absolutely terrible. The club is in freefall 

[Saint NL]

Another chance for them.

We haven't created anything

Didnt he break up with his girlfriend recently? Sometimes it really get affect people

[Block41 Saint]

Owners served up another abysmal transfer window. Fraser and Holgate are woeful signings. No Tella replacement. A striker who isn't fit to play. 

Shambolic owners who need to fuck off.

Don't worry mate I can see you were positive. We all have hope at the start of a campaign but everyone can see this isn't good enough. 

[Patches O Houlihan]

Flynn Downes has been fucking toilet all game

[Mr X]

Desperately trying to get a point against the bottom club 

[OttawaSaint]

Stu and SA best players today. Both benched.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stu with a poor pass. But we've no one back and it's another race back.

Martin lookign frustrated, but he's tellign tehm to set up like this. No one else. He knows what will happen when we give it away.

That's the kind of question Blackmore needs to ask. Not that he ever will. 

[Saint86]

The damage sports republic have done to our club is just incredible.

[harvey]

Trust the process

Always happens when a player really doesn't want to join a club. 

[Miltonaggro]

If they pull the trigger on Martin I hope that they get a right shithouse in to rocket these saps! Pearson, Strachan, Koeman, Hughes would have the measure of this shower in under a week.

[Convict Colony]

I thought football was about highs and lows, where is my fucking high !!

[Mr X]

Even Sullemanna has regressed under Martin 

[sydney_saint]

In amongst the wreckage I feel KWP has given it absolutely everything in this game

Naa.

Sport Republic aren’t the pragmatic types. 😂

[BotleySaint]

The new players have come into a disjointed team who were already low on confidence. With the right manager, improvement is possible. But RM doesn't seem to be the motivational kind, who can inject energy and belief. To shake off the cobwebs of last year and get us looking forwards and upwards.

He's utterly boring to listen to most of the time. None of the players have brought into his ideas; and why should they? He's a nobody manager with no record of success anywhere.

Off to the assault course to get these cunts fit!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

'Boro one up..

Carrock urging his players forward.

The previous 90 mins...

Martin urging his players side and back

and now hands up in desperation.

Be terrible, as he was for large parts of last season. He has absolutely dined out on about three goals he scored when he first joined, he's done nothing since and in a lot of games last season just looked unfit.
