Your Brentford v Southampton Match Reports

AmericanSaint added 17:05 - Feb 4 Nathan Jones OUT! Diallo and Theo Walcott is all I have to say.

WestSussexSaint added 17:36 - Feb 4 Jones has to go. Sports Republic have invested in the squad and yet he continues to persist with a formation that the players cannot work with. By the time he changes things the game is lost. I know we thought Ralph was stubborn and only had a plan A but Jones takes it to a whole new level.

YosemiteSaint added 17:39 - Feb 4 One wonders what was promised all these flashy new signings for when we're relegated in a few months' time—especially when they could have been playing for Lopetegui or Dyche, both of whom won today.

TimSaint added 17:43 - Feb 4 Once again, Walcott came off the bench, but you have failed to include him on your teamsheet. I know he didn't do much, but surely he deserves to be on there. Same old shite. Gift them chances Don't take our own Can't pass it properly Concede then switch off 2 new guys looked promising from the bench but yet again, we have to carry 3 or 5 ineffectual players. Jones has had enough games, but still hasn't learnt that many players he selects, simply are not Prem grade, or can have any affect on the game.

silverspringsaint added 17:53 - Feb 4 Not good at all. Naive defending against the cross. Poor passing, lack of penetration or rhythm up front. The right guys were subbed out at half time, but the new guys didn’t do enough. And yet - we did have 2 or 3 presentable chances. If only one or more would have gone in - but no! Credit to Salisu for putting his body on the line. Also to Bree who was willing and in his first EPL game. Comparing us to Brentford at this point us sad. We have the wrong manager and have spent a sack full of money too late probably to make a difference to our eventual plight (relegation that is)

Boris1977 added 17:55 - Feb 4 Elyounoussi and diallo should not be in the first team. Salisu is not a left back, Walcott - wtf, Jones is not a decent manager and acts like a poor man's Dennis wise. Nick said judge the manager and team on the performance and result - this was another pathetic display both on and off the pitch. To use Nick's favourite theoretical word - if. If saints had approached Eddie Howe last season when Ralph was struggling for the umpteenth time and if saints had got rid of Ralph last summer we could have approached dyche - he would do the simple things well, toughened up the defence and played players in their comfortable positions. The board have got the big calls wrong and we're left with an embarrassment of a team with a Lilliputian football non personality

codge added 19:19 - Feb 4 Utter shite, Diallo please no more, didn’t think we could play this bad again but guess what we did this is getting old. The new guy’s are probably thinking what the f—- have l got into but l believe they will be alright, but this manager if you can call him one he has lost the plot.

SaintPaulVW added 19:30 - Feb 4 Same old, same old, dismayed by the team sheet, puzzled by the set up and non-plussed by the passing, mistakes in both defence and in front of goal.. We have gone backwards as Jones dithers about trying to set up the wrong players in the wrong formation. We are not down yet but the required points target to be able to stay up is getting unrealistic. COYR

PezzaSaint added 20:21 - Feb 4 Nathan Jones’ post match interview was bizarre. Has he learned nothing from his failed time at Stoke? There it was rumoured that he couldn’t command respect from a load of prima Donnas and it appears from what he said in the interview that he’s fallen into the same trap! Suggesting that he is pandering to a certain way of football rather than stamping his brand on things seems to me like total bullshit from someone who is out of their depth in the PL. We’re down with him in charge!

SanMarco added 20:25 - Feb 4 We need a proper manager - this guy is a disaster at all levels. What was the point of spending tens of millions on players in January but leaving this clueless clown in charge. Dyce has got as many points for Everton in 90 mins as this joker has got for us in 8 games. We may well go down anyway but with this idiot it is certain.

sandywelsh added 21:01 - Feb 4 Poor team selection and a Poor manager. He had 5 weeks during world cup to sort these players out. Sean Dyche has less than a week in charge and they beat the top of the league! They say get a Championship manager you will get Championship football and get a Premiership manager you will get Premiership football that says it all . We are Doomed to the Championship!!!!!

vanmans added 21:19 - Feb 4 When I saw the team sheet with Bednarek in it I new we would concede goals and when he put Walcott on in place of Edozie that was game over. We should have got Sean Dyche in and not this Jones CLOWN.

DPeps added 22:57 - Feb 4 Can't see Jones lasting much longer. His team selection and post-match interview were both disasters. He's been backed in a way that Ralph never was but yet we're going backwards

KriSaint added 22:49 - Feb 6 That was sh*t , but we could actually quite easily have scored three goals in that match. So the fact that we created those chances is the only positive for me (besides my ok satisfaction with our January signings). Jan B starting and playing the whole match? Walcott in the squad and getting minutes on the pitch? My guess is that NJ was afraid of fatigue issues due to so many games lately, and that his (bad) team selection - at least partially - reflected that. But why not start with our two new exciting signings? No playing time for C-Car and Lyanco and leaving Charly on the bench were bad calls. Orsic out of the squad was so stupid. Sh*t that KWP is injured. Hope he will be back soon. One of our best players without a doubt. Gutted with the result.
