Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters was not happy with what his side displayed in the Premier League in midweek.
The right-back reflected on a below par performance from Southampton against Nottingham Forest.
Another defeat was the outcome for new boss Nathan Jones, who is struggling to build any momentum with his team.
“We were below the level required," admitted Walker-Peters, per the club website.
“All season we've been doing it where we've been gifting the opposition goals.
“When you do that in the Premier League, especially a team you're competing with to stay in the league. You don't really give yourself a chance in the game. We need to stick together but at the moment our performances aren't acceptable.
“I wouldn't really say things got away from us. I thought we were dominating the game. I was getting in good areas and creating a few problems.
“They put everything on the line to just stop us scoring and we didn't have a shot on target because of it. We're not giving ourselves a chance."
