Havant & Waterlooville manager Paul Doswell has taken aim at Southampton.
Doswell is a big Saints fan and is worried about the club's owners and new manager Nathan Jones.
He told BBC Sport: “You don't go through any managerial career without difficult moments but in all sports there's levels, and I'm a firm believer in that.
“My level is the top end of National League, as a cricketer, I was Hampshire league level and I wasn't good enough to play county cricket, I wasn't good enough to play for Saints which would have been my dream as a footballer.
“One of the points I want to make is that Nathan Jones is up against the best football brains in the Premier League, that's the level and that's the point I want to make.
“If you look at (Mauricio) Pochettino, (Ronald) Koeman and Ralph (Hasenhuttl), within a week or certainly two you saw an absolute identity and a way the team were going to play, how they were going to press and how they were going to pass the football."
He added: “In essence, it was easily identifiable. I've been to three of the four Saints games now, and I watch every game on Wyscout, there is no identity. What Nathan has done is fallen into the trap of wanting to play a certain way and you can only do that if you have a six-foot-four target man.
“To watch the ball get hoofed and I mean hoofed non-stop, the Lincoln game was awful and Nottingham Forest was up there with the worst I've seen, I've watched them in the (Ian) Branfoot days and everything else and that's as bad as I've seen.
“Nathan Jones was talking about technical sixes the other day. Come on, you're just lumping it forward. Is it obvious to supporters you should play a four-at-the-back? Of course it is.
“If you saw him on the touchline, he looked like a frustrated player, he's running up and down the touchline, biting his nails to the core and his head is in his hands every five seconds.
“He's out of his depth, and not only out of his depth but by some way as well. I hate to say that, but it is true. He's out of his depth by some way and his coaches are too.
“You have the best football brains in the world in the Premier League and sport is about levels, and I feel sorry for him – but not that sorry for him, because of the pay-off he will get.
“But it was an absolute shambles of a performance and depressing really. I feel for the people spending a lot of money to watch."
