Bar the big cut and multiple stitches on his head he seemed fine and happy to talk

The sash I believe

Hasn't really had the gametime to prove himself, but I still reckon he is a good player.

Cortese would probably say like £5m + or forget it. From the sale of the likes of Bale our youth talent will be worth far superior to £3m in 2-3 years time

I also thought of this, but the GH Academy is made up of players released by professional clubs, whereas I think Nike is as yet unsigned players.

I think it's just an opportunity for young talent that hasn't yet been picked up by professional clubs. I didn't know it existed, or where it is based mind.

7-0, maybe the talent I mentioned earlier isn't on show today...!

Really can't see anything happening regarding Lallana in January. If he's out of contract in the summer any prospective club would hold out to save money, i'm sure he would like to get us promoted, even if he does intend to leave and we don't need to sell. We may have a chance of keeping him if we get promoted this season, so i'd like to see Cortese act. I'm sure this hasn't escaped him or Adkins

Maybe a chance to eye up some talented youngsters

But Tranmere kicked off

To be fair we had the ball in the net twice up the Northam end, and both Chaplow and Barnard had great chances

A point that has been raised many times over recent seasons but it now seems that the players are starting to take notice too. We shot towards the Northam in the second half last week against Bournemouth and it worked, I was then hoping yesterday we would do the same. The teams did switch ends before kick-off, but Tranmere kicked off, which means Hammond chose to switch ends. Obviously it worked again and I just think it's a massive boost for the players to have such loud support when they're attacking the goal or lining up for a corner. Surely the signs in the tunnel could easily be changed so the Saints come out at the Northam end first half?

Haha, it's hilarious you still think he's actually pretty good...YOU obviously haven't seen him play! Scoring on his debut makes him sound like a great signing, it's actually 1 goal in 7 years as a 'professional' footballer. Torquay fans i believe voted him as their worst ever loan signing. Oh and his goal was really nothing special

Eddie Howe said on Solent today that 4 decisions went against them last week.....

That surprised me too, thought it would have been closer to 70-30!

Absolutely controlled the game from start to finish and didn't even get out of second gear. Probably the most one-sided game i've seen at St. Mary's, Tranmere played non-stop long ball from the 'keeper and were truly awful. Guly was fantastic, nobody had a bad game and we could have had a hatful of games. Now let's push on and look to win at the Galpharm.

Wouldn't surprise me, we do seem to be very strong second half under Adkins

Doesn't look to have had a big impact at his previous loan clubs, but maybe he just needs to find his feet. Pacey and strong is what we need as an attacking option

A 5 minute chat would have sorted that

Butterfield and Harding went with him and they don't seem the type to contravene 'clear' rules. I would imagine the breach of Adkins rules occurred when Barnard was in handcuffs.

Players are seen out in town all the time

Actually scrap what I've said - I think he is guilty, not sure why Adkins would have dealt with him internally if he was blameless, he'll plead guilty in December and be given a fine + community service. He can be booed on Saturday, he would deserve it. After that Lee and the media can focus on the football once again.

This is a pointless argument anyway, as he won't play Saturday.

You probably missed the first word, it was 'If'. If the rumours are proven to be incorrect then he will gain my full support. People will boo, I will not be one.

Ok, so if Wotton was in the same position you'd treat him differently?
