Under RM this is easily one of the worst teams in Premier League history. Getting to 15 points will be a struggle.

This has become our aim for this season - this is what we are playing for, not to survive in the Premiere League, but to try not to make all the wrong kinds of history. Absolute awful mess.

12? 13 is the target, 12 is sacking territory.

I expect you know this but 12 points avoids the ignominy and embarrassment of equalling the lowest Prem points total ever. That’s our primary goal (oh the irony) this season.

Just seems both SR and RM have completely underestimated what is needed to compete at this level. And I'm not even talking about winning, just being competitive. They have one chance now, right now, to possibly change this by bringing in an experienced manager who does at least know what's needed. I promised myself I'd  try and enjoy this season even if we were relegated - but I assumed we'd be competitive, show some fight and spirit and a plan that meant we might not go down. How naïve if me 🤣

That’s pretty conclusive.

We’ve played the shittest team in the Premier League and lost convincingly without a single shot on target.

WE are now officially the shittest team in the Premier League.

Will we officially be the shittest team EVER in the Premier League. I think we probably will.

Our squad is poor.

Our strikers are ALL shit.

Our manager is a clueless twat.

And we’re all stuck watching this shit indefinitely because our board have been duped into believing RM is the football messiah and don’t have the balls (or cash) to admit they got it wrong.

What a mess!

Enough now. Please give us a better manager and better players.

70% possession - 0 shots on target. The RM way.

Yes, Flynn Downes injury unlucky, and a bad VAR decision against us, but we didn't set up 'brave' dear Martin...you set up to repeat the Everton scenario...contain and try to win in the last 20 mins bringing Dibbling on...that got blown in the second minute. 

Got what we deserved. Again. Bugger all.

What another disgraceful performance from this bunch of losers. If the manager is not sacked and we have don't have a change of tactics, then I don't think we will win another game this season.

There are three times in Scripture that Jesus wept (John 11:35; Luke 19:41; Hebrews 5:7-9). Each is near the end of His life and each reveals what matters most to our loving God. He truly is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities” (Hebrews 4:15).

Those are claims, not evidence for the claim. That is circular!

This 100% it would be more palatable if they at least got one decision right and had the nous to sack him even though it's way too late to save us!

It's absolutely frightening that we just seem to have accepted this as the target for the season.  If we beat 12 point, that will be seen as success...!

Just watched the goals from Brentford vs Bournemouth and 4 or the 5 were from decisive forward movement of the ball at speed.

If you pause the action at the start of each move it looks much like when we have the ball in midfield. But, we then slow it down and go back to Bednarek or THB and refuse to make a positive pass to a forward who is making a run.

Those teams score goals and get points. We...don't.

Wolves don’t beat any other PL team today. We are the worst team in the league, and one of the worst in its history. It’s a fucking embarrassment and Martin should be ashamed. The utter cunt.

Nail struck on head. Outlines exactly where we’re at. Sad and very true. I feel numb to it all now.

No they weren't, they were from players shooting the ball at the goal, we don't do that, ever.  We have just played 90 minutes and not done that once, not once.  So how are we meant to do one of those goal thingys...???

  • This is football
  • All about how we respond
  • We wanted to dominate the ball, but started really badly
  • We limited them to 8 shots but lost 2-0
  • we need to do more with the ball in the final 3rd
  • There were a few interesting referee decisions, but I cannot blame that
  • But we had so much of the ball
  • My feeling is that it was not a foul for the disallowed goal, maybe even a penalty
  • I did not see if it was a foul for their 2nd goal
  • It was disappointing, but we should do more ourselves.

So, if our owners actually want to try and stay up, RM has to be sacked this weekend.

If not then we will know that they have some other agenda.

They sit watching the Moneyball movie on repeat while muttering gibberish.

The fun thing is, that he's completely correct in all points above. But next game he'll do it all exactly the same again and not learn a thing 🤦

We should have made our dominance count in the first half. Second half was not good enough, we didn't create enough.

Dominance that led to a grand total of zero shots on target. We are being coached to pass the ball without rhyme or reason as though a high percentage of possession somehow excuses this pathetic football. Enough is enough.

Slightly erroneous take on it as Manning did have two efforts, one just off target and the other disallowed because of VAR. I'm not saying we were good, not by any means, but we did have a couple of reasonable shots.

I think we are now in the depths of despair to see what is happening with our football club underthis Manager and his " strategy "

What happened here this afternoon, you could have repeated probably 20 times this season and last. The endless possesion, the number of passes and the utterly complete ineffetiveness of this utter dross to even be competetive, let alone to actually win a match.

The numbers speak for themselves don't they ! 70 % possesion, hundreds of passes and not one single shot on goal. And all against a side that havent won and had more goals concede than any other side.

Southampton FC, a club that I have supported for almost 65 years is being crucified to satiate the ego of this man ! Some pundits will say how pretty we looked at times when we played our delicate triangles in our own half and maybe old Pep will comment on how he approves of the way we play the game !!!

But we the fans have to suffer this. When he goes.....and surely, surely he must go now.....he will depart with a fortune and go on to manage another sucker club who will believe for a while in this disciple !!!

And we will be left with an utterly broken club. I really do fear for us now. We could be relegated with a record points total.Our reputation will be destroyed and it might take years to rebuild.

I utterly bloody despair of this !!!!

Didn't watch. How brave were we?

Really brave 71% possession, 650 passes completed v 272 for them. Apart from goals scored we won on every single metric. A truly great day

The crazy thing is, this is a brilliant season to have been promoted as so many other teams are so bad we're not out of sight despite the appalling start we've had. Even more reason to change managers ASAP.

Totally bored with this team, there's nothing to get behind and nothing about us at all. All this talk of process and philosophy is fluff for not being good enough.

Last week was just as bad, we won, but it was very poor. I struggle at this stage to see where this season starts, it's just going to be a really big test for us fans as we are on the highway to a humiliation season without a doubt.

Today was as bad as it's been this season, against another truly terrible side. We are just a pointless team to watch. 

Relegation is pretty much confirmed at this point, we just need to make sure we don't set any unwanted records. That's the only target we can realistically have now. I'm not even looking above 20th because it's pointless.

We can sack the manager if we want, but it'll make no difference because SR's decision making doesn't belong on earth.
