Southampton manager Nathan Jones has slammed a "disrespectful" comment put to him ahead of the game against Nottingham Forest.
Ahead of the match against Forest at St. Mary's, Jones was asked for his take on claims their star midfielder James Ward-Prowse is "carrying" the struggling south coast side. The Saints are currently rock bottom of the Premier League with 12 points, two less than Forest.
Ward-Prowse has scored three goals from midfield this season, and the set-piece specialist has been far and away the standout player in a struggling side. But Jones took offence at suggestions Ward-Prowse has the Southampton team on his shoulders.
