Hoops boss Mark Hughes is under increasing pressure to deliver after seeing his side slip to their ninth loss of the season on Saturday, which extended their winless streak to 12 games.
Fellow strugglers Saints took a two-goal lead into the break courtesy of Rickie Lambert (23) and Jason Puncheon (45) before Junior Hoilett (49) pulled one back for the hosts shortly after the restart.
But the south-coast outfit wrapped up the three points seven minutes from time when Anton Ferdinand turned a cross into his own net to compound the west Londoners' misery.
Fernandes has given his continued backing to Hughes amid a torrid run of results, but on Saturday night he expressed his dismay at their current plight, saying the supports have been let down by everyone at the club.
He told Twitter: "I feel gutted. I have put my heart and soul into this with my other shareholders and done all we can to give support to players and all management.
"I can only apologise to the QPR fans. We keep fighting. Let me tell you fans come first. Everyone including me let the fans down.
"Many of us need a hard look at themselves. QPR has amazing fans. They deserve better."
