#PLStories- Nathan Jones responds after four different Southampton fan chant at Brentford #SAINTSFC

SAINTS manager Nathan Jones responded to chants of ‘sacked in the morning,’ from his own supporters by saying: “The fans saw a performance that justified those sayings.” The Welshman felt the force of both barrels during a 3-0 defeat at Brentford Community Stadium with both sets of supporters plotting his downfall. Saints supporters cycled through four different chants, including ‘sacked in the morning’, ‘get out of our club’, ‘your football is s***’ and ‘don’t know what you’re doing’. Jones was asked for his verdict on the chants after the match, in a press conference in which he had already admitted ‘compromising’ on his methods due to multiple factors. “The fans saw a performance today that justified those sayings and that's fine. All I can say to them as I understand, I totally understand,” the boss responded. “To be fair, they’ve sung that at any point I've made a substitution. Now, if we keep Romeo Lavia on the pitch with a booking, they were a counter-attacking side so we were at risk. Was Romeo Latvia running the football game? “Was he was out-battling and dominating everything, so was it justified? If it was, they were watching a different game to me.” Jones added: “They’re entitled to their opinion. As I said, I’ve got broad shoulders so I take everything on myself because, at the end of the day, I only look at myself and I look myself in the mirror and I think ‘have I done the best I can be’ and, to be honest with you, I can be better.” Don't miss a moment with our Saints morning briefing email.
