Not specific to Adkins but anyone notice the trend of the last couple of years of Managers referring to their Football Club, not just the Club as it used to be. Must be the fashion I guess. Anyway, I'm off to catch the bus before it leaves without me

Considering Cortese's statement regarding AOC I think the most likely outcome, if there is any movement at all, would be a buy and loanback arrangement. £10M is a lot, even for us in our relatively financially stable position.

As long as it's not the bus from Speed I'm on it!

What a nice feeling to have the momentum that you so often see other clubs have just winning and winning, confidence is massively high and it's a joy to be associated with the Club.

He was at the Oldham game last night so that should give him some food for thought.

Unless he unfortunately get's injured. I get the feeling he's played his last game for us so I don't think he'll be 'risked'.

With Hull having a bid turned down and now Reading making a bid I would have thought any chance we had of signing him are becoming increasingly distant. Still, be nice to be wrong. We should have looked at him when he was at Poole!

I'm sure at 21 he wants to be playing football and as there is virtually no reserve football that leaves him as a professinal 'trainer'. I hope he stays around as he looks a decent player, he's shown enough potential that he could be playing for someone week in week out, whether that's with us or in a higher or lower league I don't know.

I'm pretty sure he's 21. Jaidi always worries me when we're up against anyone with just a touch of pace. If he sticks to his game as a blocker and let's Fonte get on with the football then we're OK. Hopefully Martin doesn't get too disillusioned and looks for a move as I think he is one for the future and Jaidi can't last forever, certainly not in the CCC if we get there.

I think we're pretty much covered at CB with Jaidi, Fonte, Seaborne and Martin. I'd like to see Martin and Fonte given an extended run together. Thought Martin was one of our better players in the early part of the season and now struggles to make the squad let alone the first 11.

A bit harsh. Three good finishes with Guly being the pick of the bunch for me.

Let's hope he signs. It would be a massive blow if we were to lose him.

Picked a good one to miss Don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere on the thread but according to a report on Final Score Damien Comolli is at the ground today...thought to be watching Alex O-C.

Inept. What a dreadful performance both individually and as a team. No urgency, no shape, no midfield. Badly missed the spine of the team with Fonte, Chaplow and Barnard missing. Just shocking and disappointing. Let's hope it's a one-off.

Pardew had an interview in London with a Premiership club 2 weeks ago so it would seem that was more than likely NUFC

Would be good to have the option, personally I enjoy sitting down now that I'm getting on a bit!

As pointed out elsewhere Jaidi has the turning circle of a super-tanker but when he sticks to what he's good at then he's a good player but trying to play football is not his game. In the later part of the second half he gave a series of awful short passes to Dickson instead of clearing it up the pitch.

Haven't managed to get to many games this season so was quite interesting to see the changes in personnel compared to last season. A good first half where Saints dominated right up until their man got stretchered off in the 40th minute or so then Brighton had a decent 5 minute spell. Poyet changed something at half-time that completely changed the face of the game and the second-half was stalemate. For me Poyet won the second-half tactical game. The time-wasting from their keeper was frustrating, he was clearly happy for a draw and if Brighton are top of the league we have nothing to fear. Chamberlain had a quiet game and it seemed to pass him by at times but time and experience will no doubt help him. Lambert, as has been said by many, is a shadow of last season's player although I thought he showed plenty of endeavour. Barnard worked his socks off and on another day could have bagged a couple.

Did Paul Rideout score a couple on his home debut, at least one was a header I recall. Must have been the 88/89 season I think and I remember banging two in after we signed him from Bari thinking this boy can play. Whether it was his debut or not I'm not sure?

He scored for Doncaster against Pompey on Saturday so you should forgive him now.

If ever there was a good reason to change them that was it!

In todays Daily Mail

Adkins? Bit early to say.

Glad to hear it was a good night and most importantly hopefully a decent amount of money made it's way into the charity's coffers

Do you think he'll Level with us?
