This is what I dont understand. The last few years nigel has been the master of when to play it long and when to pass it. We havent always played great football the last few years but we have toughed out results with mental strength and grit and playing 442 and the diamond. This season he seems to have changed and we are just too one dimensional. God knows what is going on but it cant carry on like this and the mucking around with our best player just is stupid.

Can we name this thread "the clutching at straws thread"

But pardew was corteses choice. We have had two English appointments and surely without our players of prem experience we need a manager who has managed in it.

Two questions mate. How long do you think cortese will give him and what manager would you think cortese would pick? Curbs has been mentioned with les reed influence. Have to say curbs record very good. Charlton solid mid table prem team promoted them from champ. West ham were down and stayed up and were 5th in prem when he left. Is it true that cortese nearly sacked Adkins in summer?

I just feel we should play to the players strengths. S-Clarke how long would you give Nigel? Untilago month ago I thought people were mad calling for his head but he's completely lost the plot for me in the last month. Since villa everything has gone wrong that could go wrong, Ramirez injury, taking lambert off and I include puncheon off as he is a good outlet when up. Defence getting worse if anything and then leaving rickie out for guly.

But against villa and Fulham we played 4-4-1-1

How many shots on target did we have first half? None?

Lambert wasn't at fault for fontes hand ball was he. Lambert is the bloomin be all and end all. He's our best player and has been for years. Adkins has lost plot. Wake up

Garbage. Lowe didn't give him a say. Red knapp is a very good manager. Most of the country think so but our fans obviously know it all

I was basing it on someone else saying it earlier!

Oh football fan in pub talk shocker.

Bizarre.

Adkins has clearly lost the plot but all these comments about cortese picking team and all these things cortese is suppossed to be doing behind the scenes what is going on and who is to blame. Adkins apparantly wanted to sign 2 centre backs and wasnt allowed and also has cortese told him to play 433. Who is to blame?

Im sorry but he was talking a load of rubbish. Loved him last two years but hes completely lost the plot. I think its time to go. It was lowes fault we went down not harrys, hed be good, curbs has great record, good managers around at mo.

no thanks redknapp or hoodle or strachan or curbs yes.

Why is lambert now on now??

Is adnet better than firestrow?

Do you have to be signed up to saints tv though

So ever manager is always right then and we are always wrong?

What about defending against set pieces. Lamberts great at that. And guly? He hasn't done nything. Adkins is making a rod for his own back IMO.

Spot on. I think adkins is trying to be too clever in this league and in danger of making himself look Like a mug. I don't think he'd drop Lambert for this as for defending corners etc he's as good as anyone defending.

If he drops lambert and we lose Adkins can do one.

Not sure whether to go to Oceana or watch it online. Is there a stream without fear of virus that u can actually watch game properly?

Oceana showing it. Where's the best place to watch it?
