Poor all around two weeks to sort out te defence and still no change! Norwich showed how it should be done by shutting out Arsenal! We now canot blame the fixture list any more, two more games and 25% of the season gone!
you are joking right? the fact he kept us up first season and cost the best part of f all surely shows he was great value and you can add in the Pompey goal for the icing on the cake!
Kerry Dixon and David Speedie after their sell by dates as replacements for Shearer are worth a mention
Also Charlie George same category earlier period
Great game great comeback by Sweden Germany were obviously taking lessons from Saints as we are usually the only team to throw away leads of that size!
he will probably be back much earlier than 6 weeks! basically all the reports are repeating the echos one and they are themselves guessing! No body at the club has said how long they expect him out
I am sure we were targeting a host of players many of whom were defenders however we are not the only buyers on the market! We converted a number of our targets 2 forwards (Mayuka and Jay Rod) two mids (Davis and Ramierez) two Defenders (Yoshida and Clyne) plus 2 keepers (Gazziniga and Boruc) 8 new players and seems like a good balanced result to me by strengthening all across the pitch especially when you add in the 4 youngsters too (2 defenders in Stephens and Shaw) and 2 Mids (Chambers and JWP) We also have LEE and Cork to come back too!
I am also pretty sure Adkins and our scouting team were involved in identifying both our targets and our priorities anongst them. keep the faith!
Now we need the time to gel and settle into the premier league
Is this why we continue to produce class youngsters wanted by all the top teams!Surely our youngsters are better off playing good technical football in the under 18's and development squads rather than hoofing it up and down the pitch and being physically out muscled in the lower leagues
