Bloody Reading

Reading equalised...its all beginning to unravel.

Because it is about Saints perhaps? Perhaps other Saints fans might be interested to know what a quality paper is saying about our predicament? How naive of me to have even for one moment think that a Saints article might be of any interest whatsoever on a Saints dedicated forum.

You only win with kids if the kids are supremely talented...Busby babes, and again UtD in mid 90s. We should have anchored our TheSaintsWay Vision thing with a 27 yo midfield general and enforcer type, a la Roy Keane, plus a similar aged 6'3" thug in defence. With Lambert up front at 30, you have a spine of experience and grit in the team of saplings.

Relegation refereeing tells me we are doomed

I reckon Adkins had to win this to keep his job

Not the only one ....

How much longer ?

Refs a tosser

Next team to score wins for sure

Merson slating Adkins subs on sky

You just fuchikh knew it

yeees

So is this the year the board have targeted for relegation? I would have thought Cortese would have opted for survival this year and gone for relegation next, and then promotion again in 13-14 season?

Totally agree. Can't remember J Rod hitting anything let alone the crossbar...

A big problem is our midfield and defensive players are all very small and/or slightly built and lacking muscle and power to compliment and back up the technical skills. WBA et al just bullied and intimidated them off the ball, off the park, and the nerves that creates forces endless errors. That big black guy WBA had just bossed the place and took the ****. Adkins needs to bulk them up in the Staplewood gym FFS.

No I thought he looked quite interested.

Only good performance was Clyne, and Lambert behind him. Fans superb. Midfield like stripling boys and gave the ball away all the time, no power, no passion. Ramirez was dreadful, even allowing for being unfit. Schneiderlin should be sacked. Yoshida is a liabilty. Endless, relentless mistakes after mistakes after mistakes.

I like the sound of this plan.

A New Dawn Fades - Joy Division

Our only hope is that the return of Cork and Ramirez edges us up to a level where we start to beat other bottom-third outfits.

A New Dawn Fades... but... The Championship was far more fun than this ****. And not just because we were winning every game. Loved the midweek awaydays to places like Peterborough, with terraces, muddy carparks and non-glory hunting opposition fans you could have a degree of respect for.

Good summary.

Now that looks like a better defence.
