It is what it is

I know this team can play to a high level

we just need a fucking squad next year for the first time in about 5 years

Let’s hope Sporting Lisbon aren’t watching tonight

That's an unacceptable half for me at this stage of the season

I actually don’t think they are that impressive either. We’re just lacking any attacking impetus, energy and too many hiding and/or tired.

They have the freedom of the pitch.

Fucking hate performances like this, just zero effort or seemingly a care from the players. It’s your job and you have the motivation of making the play offs.

We go from a game full of concentration and commitment on Saturday to just mentally weak tonight.

Just to make it worse commentator on red button is doing my head in

Need a decent number 1 GK.

Come on MR, spanking talk at halftime and let’s get back in it

100%. That’s why we are so Jekyll and Hyde. Fitness. I’m not sure we’d sustain a play off campaign over 3 games

The difference is, all the other times MR had sod all to spend. Big spending this year and we still end up unable to rotate beyond putting Palmer and Torp on the bench

2 dropped home against Huddersfield when we were caught offside playing keep ball in the corner

Just gonna run out of steam aren’t we?

Playing like we have nothing to play for.

We haven't played at all well, but doesn't it just feel like one of those nights when everything goes wrong.

Player slips as he is taking a penalty and double kicks it, then a wicked deflection to put them 1 up.

Just seems like it is not our night

Latibeaudiere, Sheaf, and Collins have been dreadful. Wright and the centre backs not much better.

Don't care who comes on, but we need some changes, and we need something from this game. The effort so far has been weak as piss. It's really dissapointing given how important this fixture is that we don't look particularly up for it as things stand.

And mine.

That was more of a penalty then the one that was given

The lack of consistency is just so infuriating. Just can’t seem to string a decent run of performances together.

Nice movement from Simms we could have had two here and we conceded soft goals.

Pathetic

No energy or passion.

Make all 5 subs at half time

Yeah. Southampton have been really poor recently. We've made them look world beaters.

Playing like we have run out of steam more like.

I thought we'd fall a bit short but seems a bit disappointing to be dropping out the play off race this early.

Tbf its looking like we would need 77-78 points just to make the play offs, I'd still back us to beat last seasons point total from this point.

Not the depth to sustain performance consistently. Done well though

Because the squad is young and small. Really it’s a pity Wright didn’t do what Sargent did

Its been a good season but its clear by this performance we are just not ready to be considered as a contender for promotion. Step too far.

Long way back from here, Collins trying to slap it away when he should step out and claim it

He rarely catches anything first time.

They are also appallingly bad.

You don’t beat wolves Leicester and Leeds if you’re not a good side

We need 22 championship players though

Need to see some fight second half, everyone ball watching, no speed on the counter either.

Dropped 10 points against the 2 Welsh teams who are both fairly poor.

Very very poor

This is it really. Small squad, long season. We're blowing.

I really can't stand watching Southampton

Equally we’ve got 4 points from Leeds, 6 from Boro. We just needed more depth-again.
