Left when Boscombe scored their 3rd.
Just so that I could avoid their fans on the rail replacement bus.
Everybody on the bridge laughing and smiling.
It doesn’t seem to hurt people when we lose.
I get that we all know we are screwed, but why do so many Saints fans look so bloody happy?
It wounds me deeply that we lost today.
Doesn’t seem to be the case for most though. |  |

Of course it hurts, we left on 87 minutes but it seems some have accepted both our performances and fate?
This is by far the worst team, representing Southampton, I have ever seen in my 40+ years of support. We looked poor under RM, due to our lack of speed in transition and instruction to maintain possession at all costs. However we now have absolutely no structure what so ever and today were a complete shambles. I've had a couple so will quit now but FFS we don't have the worst squad in the PL and if we set up properly we might just break the 11 point mark???? |  | | |

They are happy because in The Championship we can win some games against the might of Wycombe, Swansea, Stoke and the like.
No VAR to blame when we lose though.
When we’re floundering in the bottom half of that league they’ll cry for League 1 football.
Sad. |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

We started to become happy when Smallbone was subbed. His substitution was greeted by a huge cheer and it seemed to lift the whole team as well as the crowd. After that, for a while in the second half, the atmosphere was great, the team was having a real go at Bournemouth and when we scored, the Bournemouth fans fell silent and looked worried, and it really felt like we might get a draw. The 3rd Bournemouth goal was a killer, but the final score was not as bad as we'd anticipated. I thought if we lose by less than 3-0 today, I'll not be unhappy, and when they went 2-0 up, it looked like it might be much worse than that.
We fans make the most of the small scraps of comfort we get this season. To be honest though, I was cold and miserable walking away from the stadium.
I'll be back next week dreaming of a draw but accepting that anything other than a heavy defeat won't be too bad by our team's standards this season. It will be a huge boost to everyone, except the opposition, if Smallbone doesn't appear. He seems to drain all of the life out of our midfield as well as our fans.
Juric is proving himself to be a complete and utter idiot by picking him. Why can't he see what everyone else can? Anyway, the fact we got most of the second half without him, was a cause for some small happiness. [Post edited 15 Feb 21:03]
