    As bad as the Forest game was, we’ve always tended to look better against the big teams because they look to attack us. We are **** at breaking teams down who put ten men behind the ball and are organised, and have been for years.

    The result was a huge shock to me last night, but the performance wasn’t completely unexpected

    Jones mentioned it in his post match interview that we dominated against Forest (we did) but despite dominating the ball and territory we had no clue how to break them down, something which is definitely not new for Saints

    I'm not sure his faith (beit misguided or not) has anything to do with leading the team, it's his personal faith so probably keep it to your self preacher man.
