and after 8 games, when we had both played same amount of games and Adkins had just arrived we were 9 points behind. Adkins has delivered champion level performance since his arrival, just a shame, yet again, about the early season handicap. I think if we had not had the change of management and Markus' tragic demise we would have been clearly ahead of Brighton.

Since Adkins made this comment Brighton have only just managed to keep up with is now. They have matched us for points, although they played one game more. They have been impressive since. We have been better. What do you think Gus?

so Brighton have shown they cannot keep up with an Adkin's saints. they should have given us a guard of honour as the best side in league one (after their little headstart!)

Agree

agree mk games but by time winner went in think already thought we could do it - was more when we pulled it back

hopefully in few months we can sing "PL you were having a laugh"

and Poyet could say "lucky we had that headstart as I have been unable to keep up with Adkins"

answered before sorted my quote mess!

CM probably peaks at 28-31, so about 7 plus years yet

means not much at all! was surprised tho

started thinking that way but as I am not seeing us again until Walsall think will take Saints and Brighton wins to take us up in little over 48 hours time!

stat of day league goals Lallana 7 Fonte 7

am away this weekend, so not even listening to the two games - maybe better for me!

forgot him!

brilliant

Good seasons and played a significant role ; Butterfield / Guly / Jaidi / Harding / Morgan / Barnard - all had good seasons and played important part Two partticularly good this season; Lambert / Davis But two stand out contenders for me, and very close but; 1) Fonte 2) Lallana

Thanks, but how did you find out?

I love your posts

1) Fonte 2) Lallana 3) Lambert 4) Davis 5) Butterfield / Guly / Jaidi / Harding / Morgan / Barnard - all had good seasons and played important part

In short, watching every game at St Marys this season: Saints - played some lovely football Brighton - least attractive an interested in playing good football of any team, did well to get 1 point off us this season. Adkins matched Poyet and out thought him in head to head games.

Look forward to thanking Brighton for four valuable points then beating Hudds to promote us - their fans would hate that!

they won't want their season to drift out with 1 point from 3 games and the gap closing - their chip will be doing overdrive!

Swindon Town chairman Andrew Fitton has resigned with board director Jeremy Wray taking over the reigns. Fitton took over the club in 2008 after a consortium, of which he was part, bought it from previous owner Sir Seton Wills and his son James Wills. Wray joined the board of Swindon Town at the same time. The board, including Fitton, are due to meet with manager Paul Hart on Thursday morning to discuss his future following Swindon's relegation from League One. As part of the takeover Fitton and the consortium paid off a £900,000 bill to HM Revenue and Customs. The club were also at serious risk of defaulting on their payment before he took over so effectively saving the club from going under. It was also revealed one of Fitton's backers was Sir Martyn Arbib , a 67-year-old Henley-based businessman worth an estimated £370m. It is understood he will still be part of the club but he is stepping down from his role as chairman due to a hectic work schedule.
