Nathan Jones insisted he will remain “thick-skinned” after his team was booed off after a 1-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest.
Disgruntled home fans chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” after Saints’ sixth consecutive Premier League defeat.
Forest’s three points lifted them out of the relegation zone, while Southampton remain at the bottom after suffering their fourth top-flight defeat since Jones’ appointment.
“I can’t predict what fans will do,” the Welshman said of the boos. “That is entirely up to them.” It doesn’t bother me. It surprises me a little, but that’s their right.
