Stuart Armstrong Southampton
STUART Armstrong apologised to Saints fans for the 3-0 defeat to Brentford, admitting: “It must have been a hard watch.” The Scottish international played 83 minutes of the dismal visit to London but could not inspire his struggling team to end their poor run of form. Armstrong, speaking after the match, issued a message to the supporters who had travelled to cheer on their side.
Stuart Armstrong said: “Apologies to the fans who came and supported and stayed to the end and kept singing all the way through. It must have been a hard watch,” he told the club website. Really poor. There’s not a lot to say. First 15 minutes we had a good foothold, created a few chances and felt comfortable in possession.
The problem is we don’t score, and they go up the pitch and do, two in quick succession. So poor and at this level it shouldn’t happen.
Stuart Armstron added: “We found ourselves 2-0 down and tried to get back into the game, controlled and ad a lot of possession round the box but no real opportunity to pull one back. It’s a tough one, hard work is hard work, we always work hard. We need something more, our form has been very poor recently and everyone knows that. It’s frustrating, everyone would love more consistency. The good spells seem a long time ago now.”
