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.” 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.
Nathan Jones said: “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.”
Nathan 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.”
