Ummmmmmm .............Prutton ???????? can you elaborate on your point here...

Ummmm - sorry - i don't understand this post as it's totally the opposite of the facts - tracking back??????? I've not him 'track' anywhere lol !!

And he truly is...........sh-te !

Schneiderlin is very very poor - tired of saying it - not good enough apsolutely not good enough would be better off with Goburn or a another youngster in there until Chaplow is back - Morgan is now carried every game - Hammond is twice the player and Chaplow five times the player!

Derry - complete and utter sense - every word!! You are very well versed in the game and players strengths and weaknesses....If Adkins can't see those very valid points and act on them for the next game then shame on him. I like Adkins footballing passing style but he has to improve his selection of players and continue making the same mistakes - particularly in midfield which clearly is not good enough with MS playing his static role not getting forward or back - we are carrying him so might as well put anyone else in there with more passion and more powerful engine to make runs into space and defend ala Chaplow!!!

If Saints could bottle what you have said there they'd be top of the premiership!!!!!

Total tosh! Not being picked for England under 21s has not one jot of relevence. I think you will find he has more 'on' days than off! Even on his 'off' days he is pretty nailed on our man of the match - actually 'the' man of the match. Has twice as much skill as anyone else I have seen on the pitch this year - for any team! Morgan can only dream about being as good as AL and he supposed to be wanted by half of Europe and Arsenal ! I am in the Adkins camp - I pay my money mostly to watch talent such as Lallana....Reflect on this - Walcott is a very good player scoring at the highest level on a regular basis - Surman was never that good anyway so comparisons are worthless in that instance.

I think you are trying to justify our result yesterday................The essence is that Brentford and us are worlds apart in terms of resources, backup, money spent on the team and on paper teams - not to mention - similar Carlisle etc........Apart from Chaplow we are still not as good as last year and last year we didn't make it, ok with a ten point deduction but this year the team are not as good in terms on personnel to call on - this is worrying...

The Dutchmen Didn't sign Wotton our directors did..........

Inreresting that you compare two very similar players who both have the same basic problem in that they don't affect games materially....They don't defend, don't attack, don't make assists and don't score..........

So what happened under Pardew - didn't he get on with him either?

You are missing the point! His passes are safe and don't affect a game, they are not 'assists'. His passes are decorative sometimes but affective in terms of the outcome of a game. He doesn't exert himself enough - doesn't bust a gut to get in game affecting place to win a game or prevent us loosing one. The team tend to carry him in short.....

I like Arry - 'me and sandra and the dogs' Great at interviews and great at managing with 50m to spend, great for the receivers trade too I suppose, come to think of it!

Please can someone start a controversial thread. It's very dull when it's nicey nicey all the time. No game at the weekend either i'm falling asleep!

Oh dear you really do sound a very sad chap. This is a great draw - a good chance to test our selves against a premiership outfit - a fantastic opportunity. I'm going thanks - you stay home and be miserable. You must have an amazingly exciting life if you follow Saints and can't be bothered with this game - good luck to you..... By the way what are you going to when we are in Prem and all these teams aren't Liverpool, Chelsea or Man U come to our place - turn you nose up ???? Take it you're not going to most of the rest of our home games this year either - can't see a team in that lot that will get you out of bed!!! Be positive for Christ sake and be proud and pleased that we are still in the cup.....

Bizzarly scores goals but is otherwise pretty aweful..............

I doubt your wisdom somehow.............I goal and 3 assists in 72 games.....This won't change a lot by changing the nationality of the grass!

Agree with this summing up. Scheiderlin doesn't play with enough energy - in truth, slightly lazy. Some nice looking passes but he rarely affects a game materially. Successful teams now need to play with such an ability to get box to box and MS does not do this. My summing up - expensive luxury that doesn't contribute enough at the business ends of the pitch......

Very observant and true................

Is AL moving inside?

Why - he was really dreadful for us - our worst player that year by a mile...

Just wondering about how easily Fonte was turned and outpaced for their goal...

Are you serious?????????????? lol

Needed kicking out was bloody terrible
