West Brom very wasteful.

I agree we look disorganised. Even coming forwards we seem to get in each others way at times. Too many players pile forwards leaving us badly exposed in midfield. Sense its only a matter of time till we let in another. But if we can get one maybe confidence will return.. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

Diouf conforming what we've know for the last 75 mins. Saints not up for the game tonight.

My word. Talk about melodramatic!

It's strange, he seems like a totally different manager this season. I am left wondering if there is more going on behind the scenes than we realise to be honest. He's made some silly mistakes which are uncharacteristic of him.

Isn't he out of position? Also has zero match practise lately.

Confidence sapping. But it is our reserves!

Only a matter of time if it keeps going like this. No surprise though as our team is totally changed!

I guess if he's not in the squad it makes sense. He needs match fitness and practise to improve. He could be first choice next year if we go down!

I think Adkins has lost the players. Can't see him turning it round. Mainly cos we need new and better defenders. Which won't happen till Jan. Odd Adkins hasn't been himself since the start. Confidence is shot. No sign of tangible change/improvement from game to game that we are used to seeing. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

I doubt they are even taking bets on what looks certain defeat. Barring a miraculous change in quality.

Gazza didn't deserve to be dropped. Boruc should have been on the bench for now but somehow Davis remains in the team. Don't want to upset Davis? Hard to say but maybe Adkins struggles to make the hard decisions. Wants to remain friendly with everyone..

I also recall Adkins identifying our need. How come we didn't sort it? Either he over-estimated Yoshida or no-one else wanted to come here?

Unless we see some improvement we are on track to achieve this. Haven't we let in a record number of goals after 8 games than any team in Premier League history? Need some leadership at the back...

Going down unless defending improves. Simple really. But I don't think we have the quality to make that improvement.

Defense not up to it? Well we knew that... How can Adkins be blamed except to say we should have signed more. But is it his fault?

The usual. We let one in and its panic stations. No leadership or strength at the back. We have to get a point today.. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

Um.. 6 appearances and no goals according to Wikipedia.

You can't really blame Adkins for Hooivelds attempt at winning the golden boot this season.

3-1 could have been a lot worse. I am sure a lot of teams will lose 3-1 at Everton this season. Defensively still very concerning though... we need some leadership at the back.

Mayuka looks really lively.

Interesting to take off Clyne there...

If we could just get that second goal. Would be a great last 20.

I agree .. Hammond and Chaplow have been discarded without a chance this year.
