Sharp and lee aren't in same class.

I went to some matches pre season last year and we looked a lot better IMO. However, pre season means nothing but would like to see 442 rather than seeing jay rod on wing.

True after the sacking of the manager and a bad start. Slightly higher quality league now though. Maybe the players we have will be good enough.

I thought it would have been sorted by now or why did we let Martin go out in loan?

Dont worry I'm very excited just a bit fearful. Still shelled out on season ticket but have to be realistic and the fact that seaborne is our only centre back cover for me is slightly bizarre.

I hope I'm wrong but this summer feels like the summer of two years ago. Lack of signings in key positions ur centre backs, odd decisions on pitch in pre season ie new formations and lots of rumours from start of summer to finish that Adkins and cortese aren't getting on! I really hope I'm wrong as its so exciting And we've had loads of success last two years but this is very worrying at the moment.

How was sharp more effective than lambert? The guy hardly touched ball?

I paid for a season ticket and went tonight. It was rubbish tonight and I'm a bit concerned. Get over it.

I was at game and I can assure u teachers summary is exactly what happened and this is happy clapper.

More likely to work than that rubbish. Need to give them a chance to make it work.

Poor rickie best player we've had in years, play him in stupid position to make him look awful and u turn on him. Adkins needs to sort out formation.

Couldn't agree more. Stupid playing jay rod there and system doesn't play to Rickies strengths at all.

Jay rod didn't play anywhere near upfront, played chasing the full back and was hardly in box. Lambert had no one round him in twenty yards So when he did win ball no one to knock to. Sharp had same problem.

Agree.

Nail on head! Also sign two defenders and a wide player. Poor jay rod was playing deep on the left chasing full back and lambert had no one round him in 20 yards

Sat in northam. It's not just the fact we look terrible it was obvious the system didn't suit lambert or jay rid from the off. Hay rod never in box. Looks worrying

I tried looking on os but not easy to find out.

I'm a season ticket as well. I seem to remember u saying the same thing about rickie last season. Have u not learnt? For me he is our most skilful player and makes more than any player too.

The9 are u actually a saints fan? Ur absolute mad.

Jesus write him off before he has had time to prove himself. Really can't understand our fans writing of the main reason we are in prem without a ball being kicked.

The poster needs to get a life

Glasgow guly is a good player. Stop being silly.

Lambert will play. He's our best player

Saying that Adkins likes to make people wait tip they are integrated so subs will prob be buttner and new cb
