Half time can't come quick enough! I hope Wilder changes the side at the start of second half and let's become more attacking!! Forget stats.. we have 1 point only so forget trying not to concede too many with a piss poor defence
 

It’s so contrasting from last season it’s unbelievable. All that brilliant footy and intricate movements we performed and now we can barely string a basic pass !

Just shocking , was just about to say at least we are still in the game FFS

That's because we changed, our defensive record has seen us change our emphasis and became a defensive fucking team, we are sitting deeper and deeper afraid of getting caught out with the long ball that caught us out so much.

That along with just not getting the rub of the green in absolutely any game what so ever since coming back up and the injuries has just killed us.

Wilder needs to change shape, change formation, just get back to attacking and defending from the front, he needs to do something because we look worse each game, all confidence has gone from this lot.
 
Sander misses then they score near enough straight away at other end. Im not going to say you couldn't write this shit because you could. Predictable. FFS United do something.
 
Mourinho would have made two subs after 20 minutes
 
It honestly looks like Wilder lost the locker room... There's literally not a single spark of fighting, wanting to play football or basically do anything that could up our game. It's just doing nothing, losing the ball or tossing the ball away and then lose it after McBurnie heads the ball to a place where nobody stands.
 
We have no pace in the back five, particularly in the centre.

Southampton have pace, power and skill all over the pitch.

Most abject effort of the season... So far.
 

Get John Fleck off the pitch. He's contributing absolutely nothing.
 
Normally I am positive about it, so far other than the second half against Chelsea I think we have been competitive most of the time and could/should have picked up a fair few points this season. However, today is getting to me, we have come out like we are already beaten. Southampton play a high press game with a really high back line, the team selection and tactics a baffling me. I get that we don't see what goes on in training but if we are going to concede possession over and over surely we should try to a select players for counter attacking.
 
I'm shocked how inept we look to be honest, no drive, no passion. I know the lack of fans has had an effect this season but it's like all of the confidence and the first touch has left everyone of them. They don't seem united as a team at all.
The bad luck we have had in regards to every mistake being punished is indicative of a bad season.

Keep the support and remember where we have come from recently but i think a re-build will be needed very soon. The young new players are good enough but they need some confidence in the team to allow them to play with confidence.
 
Work harder and want it more than the other team. That's the bare ask of a United side.

We haven't out-fought a team this season. No amount of (lack of) quality will make up for simply not working hard enough.
 
No pace. Can’t string a pass together. Can’t get the ball or keep it. Can’t defend.

Everything is wrong. Complete u-turn on everything we were about. This has been embarrassing this half.
 
I started watching us in 1983 and I can’t remember a more lacklustre half than that. There must be one but I can’t think of it now.
 

Today the players really do look like they have given up. I’m not a supporter of changing wilder, but the Wilder needs to do some changing.

The issue we have is rightly or wrongly their seems to be little in the way of pressure from the top and because of that we will sleep walk our way to relegation. Wilder furious with players be he set us up like this, you can’t fool some of us, we have seen the same approach in every game this season.
