Is McCarthy a better keeper than Gavin Bazanu?

Match Report

The DIY Version 😳

This was the worst game I have seen at St. Mary's in many years. Utterly depressing. Watch the so-called highlights below, but that doesn't begin to cover the toxic atmosphere in the stadium. A lot of the abuse was directed at the board, but towards the end, there were chants of 'You're getting sacked in the morning'.

As I said, utterly depressing.
