    That's a boĺlocks attitude imo. If you've already bought the ticket go and support the team.

    Brother, nobody gives a solitary fvck. Get some points on the board or if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

    If we intend to stay in the league then the decision to change managers needs to be made. He had a lengthy pre season and 4 games to show the plan and has only succeeded in making us more ineffective.

    He was in a difficult position and has shown nothing to make me think there is a way out. Feel bad for him it he should be replaced.

    He was, along with Bruno Lage, Thomas Frank, and, later on, Steve Cooper.

    I've reached the end of my tether. I've supported the team, travelled the length of the country various times, spent hundreds of pounds but I can't take any more. At least we were trying to play good football under Ralph. This stuff under Jones is hoofball. Playing 3 CB's at home to Forest is inexcusable and pathetic.

    I’m so sick of watching us. This is a squad I think that someone could of done something with with some decent additions, but now we are a club in crisis trying to shoehorn players into a style which they are not suited to. Horrendous decisions made. They have to cut their losses surely?

    And if that's your decision then that's completely fair enough and don't buy any more tickets or renew your ST. But for one you've already bought then you should still go imo. Not up to me of course n not gonna argue with you!

    Take responsibility you utter cretin. Your the ****ing manager, don't pass the buck. You've made us worse.

    I'm going to Palace on Saturday but that will be my last away game until we bin Jones. I'll continue going to the home league games as I've already paid for them with my ST but I just can't muster up the energy to go to a midweek game where we're going to get dicked.

    Get Dyche in with a six month contract with an extremely handsome bonus if we say up, but part in the summer regardless. The football will be ugly, but he will get committed players on the pitch and play to the limited strengths we have

    Neither did I Steve. Neither did I.

    Wow I never thought I’d see a post like this from you Tom.

    Saints has finally broken another one. <laugh>

    Maybe he’s different behind the scenes but he doesn’t sound like a particularly motivating guy.

    Think he may wear his heart on his sleeve, and says thing in the moment. He’s been dealt a ****e hand, sadly.

    I really think no coach could get anything positive from this squad. **** all back bone in there. Get in some leaders / experience

    Anyone else hitting refresh on the Saints website hoping to see the headline “Nathan Jones departs the club”

    Only the other day you told me it'd easily get to 25k because it’s a Cup QF, no matter no dismal things got in the meantime.


    I maintain it’ll struggle to get to 15k. I don’t remember fan morale being this low for quite a while , maybe not since the Poortvliet season…. (MP2 wasn’t great either)

    Disagree. I think he’s lucked into a prime job, but isn’t good enough for it. He’ll **** off into the sunset with a few million in his pocket, having ballsed it all up. A talented manager could cobble together a side that stays in this division, particularly this year.

    Yes that was before tonight's **** show. It will almost certainly be under 20k now.
