I hope we don't go chasing strikers in Jan. It hust isn't a priority. I'd take Wanyama though but I realise we'd have zero chance getting him.

Yeah I remember Nixon going on about this guy's move to Bolton that didn't happen in the end. His reporting made it seem like Sanchez and his agent were not easy people to deal with.

Nixon also says that there may be a Saints transfer story in tomorrow's Mirror.

The improvment shown by Fonte/Yoshida should not be ignored either, though I think Fonte has been the better of the two.

Oh well 45 minutes to go maybe Adkins can give them a kick up the backside at HT and at least get them playing like they want a result.

Absolutely dire...Lallana, Ramirez & puncheon ****, cork and morgan getting out battled in midfield and Shaw doing a good danny fox impression.

Win today and we're only one point behind Liverpool and I have a good feeling about today. 2-1 Saints.

I would say so, let in goals near post every game he played this season before he got dropped, fundamental error IMO. Also made bad distribution errors v United that he was very lucky to get away with. Not saying he's necessarily worse than Gazzaniga, they are quite similar in ability. Ideally Boruc would be first choice, KD on the bench and Gazza would be on loan at a champ club for the season to gain some experience. unfortunately that doesn't look likely to happen.

Not entirely sure why some want KD back between the sticks, he's shown to be just as error prone as Gazzaniga this season and his distribution is much worse. Bigger question is why can't Boruc get near the team? Is he not yet match fit? Fallen out with Adkins?

Howler from Gazza is a shame. On top without playing too well. Tettey aside, Norwich are far from impressive.

That was his third this season.

Their fans are out for blood regarding Pardew.

2-0 didn't do us justice. Excellent performance, if we play like that during the next five games against a bunch of bottom half sides we won't drop many points.

Bloody Everton

I think it may be a case of wishful thinking re; Stephens considering Adkins wouldn't even play him in the League Cup, Adkins preferred Butterfield in those games. Butterfield at RB in the Premier League is a chilling prospect.

How many games will he last before his first interview claiming the current QPR squad wouldn't get him out of the championship?

If Richardson is still injured, Clyne being ruled out would be the worst. Who would replace him?

I thought we were too slow to play the final ball in to be honest, by the time the final pass went in Swansea had managed to crowd out the area most of the time.

I'm more bemused by the fact that we made no attacking substitutions after the equaliser. Ramirez was tiring badly and had faded out of the game, should have put Rodriguez or Mayuka on.

Steve Davis at 12/1! Can the ginger magician really save their season?

I think the only thing the echo knows is how to access the telegraph's website http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/9658684/Nigel-Adkins-survives-day-of-crunch-talks-with-Southampton-chairman.html

Even if he lacks the quality at least he got stuck in when he came on, unlike many of those that started tonight.

Absolute gash I'm sorry to say. WBA were better organised, more committed & played like a team, even without being spectacular they looked to be everything we're not.
