I absolutely agree with all you as about the transfer window, I've said exactly the same thing, almost word for word in the past. For me goal keepers and centre backs are crucial positions and you need experience and quality. Good teams are built of solid defences and if you don't concede you don't lose. Yoshida looks okay, dodgy today but to be fair he's not a right back, the reality is though that Hooliveld, Fonte and Fox aren't good enough but apart from Yoshida we've little else in those positions.

Who though? The obvious thing would be to bring in a Director of Football, but isn't that what Les Reid is meant to be?

To be fair, nine Of those have come against United, City and Everton so a bit of a skewed stat. As for a defensive coach, what does 'Crozzer' do then? He's a former centre half.

The fact that the Fulham fans were singing 'how sh*t must you be, we're winning away' at the end sums up if it is a point gained or two lost.

He was like it last season though. Okay for much of games but made errors and lapses in concentration which proved costly. His goals papered over the cracks and got him hero status in some fans eyes. The fact was our back 5 last season were not good enough for a top 6 championship side and woefully short at this level. He seems like a great guy and is popular but sadly you need more than that to be a premier league player.

Interesting that a number of people are saying we are lacking experience at this level. Exactly the thing some of us said during the window we were missing and were pounced on and told this wasnt nessasary.

I don't disagree, he didn't get what he wanted during the transfer window. £30m spent and basically a championship side out there today. It just seems to be me the first sounds of discontent with Adkins are coming out from some fans.

Is the opinion on Adkins starting to change amoungst the fans? Up until the last couple of games everyone has been behind the manager and there has been a lot of goodwill but now people are beginging to question his decisions.

Why have him on the bench if he isn't fit enough to come on for the last 20 minutes then?

Javier De Pedro!!! That Spanish nutter of the same name with his daily updates. Did that link directly to Amy Gate??????

Funny how we were talking about Harchester United only the other day, it's the sort of thing that happens to them.

He's nothing to do with them anymore I believe. The last quotes from them came from Mike O'Callaghan and I believe Perry McMillan might have resurfaced in the not too distant past under their banner. People stopped taking SISA seriously in the late 90s and these days nothing more than someone putting their name to them to try and sound credible.

Eh? I was asking a question to the bloke that started the 'how many tactic mistakes is Adkins allowed?' thread?

Proof? Where is th proof? Are these FACTS or what you've heard? Name your source FFS.

Id we lose is Adkins one tactical mistake closer to his threshold?

Are people saying Cortese needs to get with the programme?

Think Mido was season or so before. Dawson was the season we went down we tried getting both of them and they went to Spurs instead. Dawson was just what we needed.

Having already lost to Wigan that is one should win game already gone. We probably need 10 wins at home and then try to pick up 10 points away. I would say today is absolutely one that we should be winning as we will do well to get a point against Spurs in our next one. If we don't win today it's one win from our first five home games and we'd probably then need to win nine from our next fourteen.

I fully agree. Fulham are nothing special and it's these sort of games you look back on at the end of the season if you do go down as ones where we should have picked up points.

I was at Craven Cottage when they beat us 2-1 under Strachan, so that is wrong.

Sorry, perhaps you can explain where there is any negatively and trolling on this thread?

What is unbelievable is idiots ruining threads by telling everyone they don't want to read what is on a thread when it's quite evident what that thread is about. As has been mentioned several times, it's quite clear what this thread is about, it it doesn't interest you don't read it and don't commented it telling everyone how it doesn't interest you.

As I mentioned above Bayern Munich aren't trying to entice new fans by cheaper prices, they are the biggest and best supported team in Germany and German football is booming at the moment. Why they do it I don't know but it seems to bethe norm in Germany for ticket prices to be much lower than here. The only way it would work for us it absolutely gurantee every one of your new, lower priced tickets went to people that can't afford it at the moment and 'brand new customers only' can you imagine the uproar if Saints suddenly introduced £300 season tickets for new fans whilst existing fans still have to pay what they pay at the moment? I for one would tell the club where to stick their season ticket if that happened.

Anyone know if they've been paid yet so can get on with the job?
