Mr X

Not having a pop he is a talented player but it seems he doesn't quite fit our team at the moment for whatever reason. There were a few glimpses of excellence today when he managed to get one on one with the keeper and shot straight at him but for me his passing was sloppy and I counted four occasions when he cheaply gave the ball away giving possession back to reading

Still worrying though that he only came here for the money, he may go on scripted interviews on the os saying he's happy but anyone can see by his body language and performances on the pitch his heart is elsewhere. Even if he wants to leave noone is going to pay anywhere near the fourteen million we would want back.

so should le god get free tickets in your opinion?

Unfair comment. what do you mean by Adkins left us in a unhealthy position? Do you mean league position or are you referring to transfers?

The way pochettino sets the team up with the high pressing makes for exciting football! Makes for nervous viewing on counter attacks though and a dangerous game to play! But it seems to be working at the moment so fair play, my only doubts is wether he is a one trick pony as we don't seem to have any other style but then maybe there is no need for a plan b?

Must be a short debate surely a no brainier SRL over Carrol any day

In your opinion what does pochettino give saints that Adkins couldn't? Would Adkins have got the wins against the big guns? Are you happy with pochettino so far?

Jay rod man of the match without doubt tireless running and closing down and a great goal! Credit to rickie and even kelvin!

No boric ahhhhhhhh!!!!

And a complete and total n o b b e r don't forget that

So what happens in the saints soap opera should the miraculous happen and Adkins keeps reading up at our expense?

What has this got to do with st lard saying he's heard from "various sources" that the players didn't know how to put Adkins coaching in to practice? We all know he kept shum in interviews

No but then I'm not claiming to, clearly

name your "various sources" or it's Just heresay

I wasn't Adkins biggest fan at first, I think he made mistakes particularly with substitutes and the whole goal keeper situation and the lamest physcobabble interviews ever but he slowly began to win me over with his enthusiasm and work ethic results were improving too. To say he is bloody useless is ridiculous

you seriously think two successive promotions was just a bit of luck? Or are you just being a wum?

J rod has since a slow start done enough for me to change my mind and be proved wrong I initially thought we had another Brett omerod on our hands! But j rod clearly has the attributes to be a good player. Gaston has yet to truely shine but admittedly today was the best for a long time

There was obviously problems getting the pochettino deal tied up but then there was reports that he'd been watching the time for months but yes timing couldn't have been worse anyone who doesn't think we are in a relagation battle is delusional

If you think Adkins would have got us more points then how is pochettino more capable of getting us to the "next stage tm"? Surely getting to the "next stage tm"requires a better points return?

Oh **** duh yes he did indeed!

Can you please give your reasons for why you feel pochetino has done enough to justify Adkins sacking? Are you more happy with how we are playing now? To me we are playing a one dimensional game of a high pressure midfield and tempo and not much else and have absolutely no other plan when it doesn't work! It's all very good pressurising the other team into losing possession but it also leaves us hugely exposed at the back and I don't think we have the calibre of defence for that style.

We all know that isn't going to happen Cortese will still be here wether we are relegated or not, even fan power can't do anything about that, if it was markus's wish that Cortese is the don then Cortese will remain the don as long as the leibhers own us

Worse than bringing in saggy face? Yup have to agree I fear it may go tits up should have stuck with Adkins no matter what
