You make it clear to staff that if they divulge company information they will face the consequences. It works in other professions, so it should "in theory" work in football.

I agree the title "emergency loan" is misleading. But all loans in the Football League between February and when the loan window shuts in March are given this title.

Adkins has stated on a number of occasions that this is the reason that he doesn't give out detailed injury and team information. He wouldn't bother if he thought it would leak out anyway. I'd imagine the Saints squad are under strict instruction not to divulge any info and if they are found to have done so they would face disciplinary procedures in house from the club.

Man City signed a goalkeeper last season with special dispensation because the Premier League unlike the Football League, doesn't have a loan window after the transfer window closes. Richard Chaplow and Nicholas Bignall when they signed were "emergency loans" for Saints, even though there wasn't an injury crisis.

He is right not to give constant injury updates. It makes no difference if we as fans know or not before a game, but more importantly it leaves the Colchester manager guessing how we will line-up on Saturday.

Every loan between February and March and between September and November is classed as an "emergency loan".

Just how many central midfield players should Saints have? Saints had Hammond, Schneiderlin, Chaplow and Gobern in January. It would be hard to sign anymore, if they were any good their parent clubs would want them to get regular games whilst on loan. That simply wouldn't happen as the current Saints players would play.

The actual of stating their intention to go into administration meant they didn't have to pay HMRC the next day over £300k. If you are going to punish clubs with points penalties for insolvency, it is only right that that receives the same punishment as actually going into administration. Strangely Argyle decided to spend over £500k on a new pitch in the summer. This company has now taken out a bankruptcy action against the club.

Finished 2-2 against Pompey under 18's tonight.

Saints Player.

Snap

I would listen to this with the Walsall commentary, as the opposition commentary is alway more interesting to hear their take on our players. However the guy has the dullest Brummie voice I have ever heard! Have a quick listen on Saints player.

Why do people ask this every week? Sign up to Saints Player.

Nope, that is the far right.

Because Forecast isn't at Eastborne anymore and Shea has gone back to Arsenal.

Or you could use twitter, as that is where he copied and pasted them from.

I bet they change to the 41212 formation at some point. Or bring Chamberlain on for the normal 442 in the second half.

It will be the narrow midfield diamond 41212 formation that we have been using as an alternative to 442. Lallana will be behind the strikers. Schneiderlin or Hammond sitting in front of the back four with Schneiderlin/Hammond and Chaplow in front. The strikers and full backs provide the width.

Because Saints have a bigger squad than just 11 players.

Pointless calling any of the remaining fixtures our "game in hand". They all matter as much as each other and it doesn't really matter what order the next 16 games are played in.

South Coast derby tonight for the under 18's as they face Pompey - Staplewood at 7pm.

Must have been on the BBC's Late Kick Off which will be on iplayer soon.

Read the opening paragraph.... Also a gap of 2 and 3 points is nothing. Especially as Saints had nothing to play for at the end of the season like Millwall and Leeds did. Nor did they have the entire squad rebuilt from August 2009 to January 2010, like Saints did. Nor did they have a 10 point deduction hanging round their necks decreasing prospects for the season.

I can't see him displacing Butterfield or Richardson. Probably training with Saints until he gets a contract elsewhere.
