Mr X

could the point at Fulham be the point that keeps us up? could the lost points against Sunderland be the point we threw it away? find out in this season of the hbo series saints and sinners

problem is I can see qpr going on a run with ole dirty Harry

that has to be relegation form surely?

I want him to stay whatever happens but will cortese feel the same or is he still very much on borrowed time?

Tough fixtures, can only see one win from this list and that probably won't be good enough, what do you see? stoke away = loss arsenal home = loss Aston villa away = win Everton home = loss man United away = loss even if we pull off a couple of unlikely draws too that would still only give us five points from a possible fifteen worrying

I Agree lallana can be frustrating in his decisions but at least he has an eye for goal

Agree with some points here but this probably isn't the right time to vent anger we are stuck with the players for the time being hopefully reinforcements are coming in very soon. We aren't going to do any better than Adkins and he has at least shown passion for the club all we can do is shout the team on to victory

you certainly said this with a smirk Lallana is currently adding far more to the team than Ramirez he actually seems a pivotal player in changing a game whereas I've yet to see that from Ramirez not saying he can't prove me wrong for rest of the season

this is true. talented player but not performing at the level we would expect at the moment for whatever reason to early to write him off though. Hope I'm wrong but I think this signing will come back to haunt Us either when we are in the championship trying to 're- coup our debts or when we go to sell him and find we get nowhere near what we paid. I guess they deemed that putting all our bets on one player was worth the gamble rather than buying two or three cheaper but proven in the premiership players that would have sorted the defence and a midfield organizer with true grit.

thats strange you think that as according to solent he had a very poor game and wasnt at the races at all

true but can you tell me that anyone who signs a 14 million pound creative player doesn't expect them to contribute a few goals? I know that's not solely what they should be judged on but it's what sfc would have wanted surely? Plus he hasn't even been assisting lately

one way of looking at is Steven fletcher was there best player yesterday and cost the same amount as rameriz And is on nine goals this season I know who I'd rather have at the moment

If we don't win this one then we can't really say we deserve to stay up we've had too many games we should have won

Ahh yes I am incorrect about that then I just thought he brought de-ridder on for puncheon around about ten minutes to go

He is good a getting the best out of mediocre players the last two seasons has proved that beyond doubt I also admire his positivity even when we've played as badly as against Sunderland he focuses on the positives and is upbeat like we nearly won. Tactics don't seem to be his main strength and he seemed neither to have a clear strategy at the start of the Sunderland game or the finish when it was clear mayuka and lambert wasn't working he waited till eighty mins to make a change cant help but feel Adkins puts the pretty passing game ahead of everything else and we have no plan b even when that isn't working do you feel Adkins can mix it up when it's not working or is he a little one dimensional?

exactly plus the fact that if we are indeed heading back to the championship neither j rod or Ramirez are going to stay and currently I can't see us getting more than five million back for Ramirez I can't see any premiership clubs showing an interest on current form and j rod is best suited to the championship

What did he base that on? And if so why did our scouts deem him worth our record signing?

Agreed maybe he is indeed one for the future and he was brought with that in mind?

To which question?

Not an attack the guy obviously is a talented footballer but so far it's only been glimpses of talent lots of showboating but gives the ball away far too often! Can you see him going on a goal run? So far I can't and can't help feeling we paid way over the odds. Maybe he is one for the future but is that what we need now?

Whole team is terrible today!! No excuses with the two week break and a crunch game

Nearly a fook up by kelvin !

All silly tip tap pretty stuff with no real threat on goal from us what is the point in trying to do too much with the ball! That was a penalty though clear contact

12th to 14th in our first season that's ambitious think we will need to sign players of better quality than J rod and better value than Ramirez if we are to achieve that

This is a massive pivotal game it will decide wether we can indeed push on or wether we are destined to be sucked into the mire of avoiding the bottom three and nothing else! A win Would send out a clear message to the teams around us anything less than a draw is unacceptable in the situation we are in the table is so tight and we need to beat our closet rivals ie Sunderland, Wigan etc
