Think it showed how far we’ve fallen
My thoughts too mate and even more so when you consider that we have, for my money anyway, lost only two key players. Namely Ramsdale and Ake, the rest were bit part players who were interchangeable and replaceable and the fact that we never backed up with any real quality is why we were stuck with the Bananarama of Premier league football, Fraser and the Wilson twins.
Where do we go from here ?

Maybe Cook thinks we owe them 2 now.Why bother with all that crap about ‘we owe them one’
If that was their idea of payback then I’d hate to see them when they don’t give a toss
Unfortunately it's not a one off, given jw said the players were knackered, that can't be said for Rico as he's hardly played recently. But hence he'd rather bring mepham on in place of Rico, shows how poor he was.Yesterday was one of the worse defensive performances I’ve ever seen in a game of football.
I mean Rico, honestly, WTF was that bloke doing?
At least try and do your job. Trying to think of a worse individual performance in recent years
Rico’s positioning was poor for the 2nd but not forget the entire back 4 were not good .Unfortunately it's not a one off, given jw said the players were knackered, that can't be said for Rico as he's hardly played recently.

You can say maybe confidence lacking etc, but being so badly out of position is nothing to do with confidence. I'm not saying we were going to win the game, but that 2nd goal just before half time was the killer
A bit over the top that comment .Yesterday was one of the worse defensive performances I’ve ever seen in a game of football.

Even for the 2nd cook goes to ground far to easily
Carter vickers was a accident waiting to happen and Stacey all game wanted an extra 2-3 seconds on the ball
Steve cook could see the entire pitch from where he was .The entire back 4 were a shambles....you'd have to wonder why Rico was over on the opposite side of the pitch for a Southampton throw in though.....i can't believe he's done that off his own back.....that has to have been an instruction from Woodgate.
Stacey was every bit as bad as Rico imo....his defending for the first goal was comical and then followed that up with a brain dead pass for the third.....Rico was sh1te but i"m not sure other 3 defenders deserve any less criticism.....We don't have a calming influence or anyone who is able to organise a back line.....Steve Cook doesn't inspire confidence in any of them.
He doesn't lead.....if Rico really did go over there off his own back you'd think our Captain or manager would tell him to fck off back over to the other side.Steve cook could see the entire pitch from where he was .
Not a surprise to see the usual scapegoats getting all the flak.
For me the biggest disappointment yesterday was Pearson. Looked completely off the pace, like a kid in the playground following the ball around with no positional sense, lots of key misplaced passes leading to Stains chances.
Noone came out of the game covered in glory but I expected better from Pearson.
