Mr X

That is indeed true some on here a few weeks back stated that they couldn't wait till we are back in the championship more equal league and enjoyed seeing us win more games, they seem to have gone quiet. I wouldn't see it as too much of a disaster as I can see us bouncing back but most people know the premiership is the place we need to be if we are going to progress as a club and establish are 26 year reign again

Who labelled him trigger happy? No one on here has said that I merely said he will be advised against being another abromovich as that's not the way to go for continuity

Hopefully cortese's advisors will tell him that being trigger happy isn't always the answer to progression, maybe Chelsea will learn that lesson. I'm confident that should we stay up Adkins will be judged on next season and next season only

Do you think nc will give nige another crack at it next year if we just scrape 17th this season?

Agreed you'd have to be pretty bold to claim that surviving wasn't the most important goal for this year. All we have to do is make sure three teams are worse than us, easy right? im thinking we can maybe already put reading down as one of those teams

Saints fans being saints fans and all that

You would have thought so but ........

For me it's all about staying up this year and I'd be over the moon even if we finish seventeenth! Would some people be totally unhappy with that, given how much we've spent? I know Nigel will be aiming higher obviously but could we call seventeenth a success?

was that the final nail in our coffin that sent us down?

Agreed it would have made sense although wether he'd have agreed to go to league 2 is another matter. Adkins obviously deems the bottle throwing incident serious as he'd been nowhere nr the first team or bench for that matter he seems seriously out of favour

All three of our keepers our currently championship level at best, boruc has played at a higher level but is nowhere near the fitness or skill level he was at and has a rumoured bad attitude which leaves us with two keepers that can neither communicate with their defence, deal with crosses, or get down to shots quick enough. We do have a goalkeeping problem people are in denial

I don't get the mentality in slagging of a club simply because they are struggling slightly more than us how does that help our plight the fact is we're both in a relegation battle along with potentially any team in the bottom half that could go on a poor run

How useless is this ref!!!!

Not a good half for either side!

Think most people are too nervous to post!

Is mayuka on the bench?

No idea clearly not a foul! What a joke

Letting reading play at the moment!

Heres a question who would you rather leave at the moment Lallana or ramerez? for me it's ramerez the guy has flashes of talent but they never seem to lead to anything whereas Lallana is a fundemental part of the team when Lallana plays well it passes through the whole team and we look lost without him I know he makes his fair share of mistakes too

Two massive massive games! Gonna be nerveracking to watch that's for sure! Saints being saints I can definitely see us slipping up against reading. We looked totally uninterested against Liverpool we were overawed they should have won at least five or six nil only poor finishing from them meant they didn't as gazza was all over the show

he has bags of potential but he's not a 12 million pound player at the moment would you not agree?

i personally feel we are going to lose loads on Ramirez as he wasn't worth what we paid in the first place, some idiot on here claimed we would at least double are money on him. He's obviously got talent but for me he is just a trickster that flatters to deceive goes over way to easily does to much with it loses possession and nowhere near any end product

brief summary of what they said pleaseies

I have seen no evidence that gazza communicates with his defence or organises them are shape in defence was terrible yesterday Liverpool had all the space in the world. What has Adkins seen that we haven't to declare him such a good keeper?

All the makings of a thrashing they should be five or six nil up but we will be better second half I hope!
