Also, after our awesome start and believing that we're amazing, we went and lost a few games which can have a detrimental effect when confidence has been so high, with us feeling so invincible. The Doncaster/Blackpool/Pompey/Bristol City games were the start of the blip where our scoring in every game went & winning every game at home went, plus we lost to 2 of the bottom sides, would have hurt the team. Although I agree with adriansfc, that the injuries/suspensions/weather all play a factor.
Drop Davis he had a shocker on Saturday
Davis
Frazer, Fonte, Hooiveld, Harding (If Fox isn't fit)
Guly, Morgan, Hammond, Lallana
Lambert, Sharp
Subs: Martin, Cork, Puncheon, Lee, Chaplow
Always difficult to say with Saints but this team seems to be a bit psychologically stronger than previous sides. Lets just hope we're winning at half time cos then we're pretty much certain to win
It's not a 'moan' as such, its just places to improve, and I am sure Adkins is always looking at ways in which we can improve ? 'We want to be the best we can be'
I'm really not sure he does though. I just think we were playing a lot worse players last year when Harding was playing. Harding is a L1 standard player. He should stand in for Fox, but there is no arguement who is better at both attacking and defending.
I just don't think Cork and Schneiderlin compliment eachother very well. I said it at the start of the season that IMO it has to be one of Cork/Schneiderlin and with Hammond/Chaplow. But now Chaplow hasn't played all season in the middle of the park, I'd still say Hammond is vital to how we play.
