Dickson would be keeping Harding out. Don't often put specialised LB on bench.

totally wrong. We bossed the game - particularly in first half, midfield did well - if you have to look for blame it would be forwards. team clear at top was time wasting from early in fisrt half and celebrated getting a draw.

+1.

Pulis is a decent keeper at this level, just needs games.

about time I left!!

totally agree Weston, judge where it matters.

team doing very well, manager saying right things, owner/chairman/manager united, money to spend...what could possibly go wrong?.....

Lee Holmes.

would take a 4 -1, hope for more

no team in prem, league 1 or league 2 can match our return over recent form - derby can match it. If that is your basis for being "underwhelmed" and "more than disappointed" in him, I can guarantee you would have been let down by any manager we have and always will be.

Didn't realise we have never lost at St Marys under Adkins Drew first game Won last 6. Can't wait to he starts getting players playing for him!

Adkins performance: d 0-0 w 1-0 d 1-1 w 2-0 w 2-0 l 0-2 w 2-1 w 3-1 w 4-0 w 2-0 L 2-3 w 4-1 Players have done well for Adkins. He has been a very good manager for us -so far. Season is far from over but looks - as it has from day 1 - a good appointment. I reserve to the right review my judgement if he ****s it up!

Didn't realise they had lost LuaLua as well. Only changes I think worth considering: Barnard - only on fitness. Ox-C, maybe let Holmes start to rest Ox-C and use as sub - think Adkins is trying to bring him in slowly and Holmes is very good.

current form over last 8, (and sorry just don't get Lard's and Charlies view on team falling apart and underperforming) Played 8, won 6, drawn 0, lost 2, F19, A 8, points 18, point per game 2.25 Best in the league. http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D2/oform.html Continue for the rest of the seaon and we will have over 92 points - plenty to go up. We have not had a forward hit form yet, have a bigger squad than most as injuries and bookings become a factor, and apparnetly money to spend. Why would you not be optimistic that Adkins is going to take us up?

tommy elphick who I am told is their best CB, playing every game this season, is suspended. Same starting 11 for us?

top of home current form 2nd in total current form gained 6 points on Brighton and Bournemouth in last 6 games I hope this poor cheaply appointed manager continues to have a team falling apart!

good to see players heavily slagged of on here doing well - Dickson and Holmes.

IF we beat Brighton. We will have been the best performing team in this league from the day Adkins took over.

we have several times

Barnard was injured at end of first half, they decided to try him in 2nd - was still feeling it and we were quickly 3-0 - saving him to score on Tuesday.

before Adkins results L 0-1 W 2-0 D 1-1 L 0-1 W 4-0 L 0-3 L 0-2 L 0-1 since showing the improvement L 0-2 (in post for about a day!) d 0-0 w 1-0 d 1-1 w 2-0 w 2-0 l 0-2 w 2-1 w 3-1 w 4-0 w 2-0 L 2-3 w 4-1 Points since his appointment - starting from MK game to stop arguments although think unfair on him! points from last 12 league games Brighton 25 Saints 23 Charlton 21 Colchester 19 Oldham 18 MK 17 Sheff W 17 cherries 16 Hudd 15 Carlisle 14 Peter 13 Reckon he will get us up.

8-10th was my prediction for last season. top two for this

compare before he came to after - have a look at the results.

agree with most of above. He will be judged by results - so far he has improved them and has us at about the right level - if continues or improves he will be living up to peoples' hopes / expectations. If they drop he will have failed.
