Adam, get the **** in! !!

You were one of the posters saying we didn't need to rush, we'd bought enough, Rodriguez was top 10 Premiership class etc, or was that Saint Charlie?

Billy Sharp scores...

And 2...

Ffs

We look good apart from in the final third. So the first 2.

Nice one!

Again, I didn't say we'd lose. BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT THE CORRECT DECISION. Why don't you understand this?

Wow, you've made a lot off incorrect assumptions all in one reply. It's not about me not understanding anymore I can see. "Because your opinion is clearly starting with Rickie is our only way to win. You refer to Branfoot not starting MLT as proof that this is correct." No I didn't, because we beat Newcastle in that game when MLT was benched. However, it does not mean that was the correct decision, does it? Again, you're putting words in my mouth. If that's all you can do I suggest you go to another thread. I am saying that our best chance to win the game is by playing our best player, and I firmly believe this. Obviously you don't. "Good teams have to switch the way they play to match the opposition and counter their strengths." Good teams don't have to switch the way they play. Good teams make their opposition switch the way they play. "The reason you don't understand this is the same reason you think we can only win with Rickie, the same reason you'll no doubt be shouting 'I told you so' over this forum if we don't win and the same reason you don't understand anybody else's opinion unless it's drawn out in front of you." I do understand other peoples opinions, but I don't agree with them in this case.

Don't disagree with that. However, if you polled most posters on this site then I think more people would start Lambert and you'd be in the minority. Not a glowing endorsement I agree, but a good cross-section of Saints fans.

No, it means our best chance of winning is with Lambert in the side.

Then why did you say the following? What was your point?

I think we will get a point today. But the best way to get a result is to play your best players, and Lambert is our best player. On another note, if you're going to keep putting words in my mouth then I'd prefer you go to another thread. I am still trying to work out how this makes Adkins and Branfoots decisions different?

Why has this changed in the last 20 years though? And you say no team revolves around one player. Have you seen our record whilst not player Lambert in the last few years? It's shocking.

No I don't, where have I said that? Don't put words in my mouth. Can you answer my question please? Why does the change in football over the last 20 years mean you shouldn't play your best player?

And CB's

How is not playing Lambert not similar to not playing Matty against Newcastle all those years ago? I wasn't saying Adkins has the same abilities, I said the decision is similar, which it is.

In what way does not playing your best player and talisman change over the years?

I don't, but I feel it is. Do you remember Ian Branfoot? It's similar to the decisions he used to make.

Perhaps, but I do feel he has made some proper strange decisions this season in general.

A) I said "probably". B) I just want to know why now we are in the Premiership he is rotating so much and making such bat **** mental decisions. We have never seen this before.

Benitez?

Not from Surrey it's not...

Oh do k nob off. He's managing like he has never seen us play.

100% agree.
