This also sends out an enormous message to the rest of our team (i.e Alex) and any potential signings....

that's amazing news. great play adam - could turn into a legend here, no doubt. love that pic too...class

Agree with your last thought - they had their chance last January and we're now under a totally different regime manager wise, and they were both ''pardew'' targets. Personally i think Chappers adds that competition to our midfield we lacked, we're pretty strong there now.

I don't think we can rely on Plymouth tbh - utter **** team. BWP will be out of the door v soon and they'll be left with nothing.

mental view, sorry.

I feel loyalty towards Harding as he has never really put a foot wrong with us, a steady-eady if you like. I'd still put him as my first choice. Dickson is the more exciting of the pair but I see no issue in using them how we have been - all 4 full backs are being rotated pretty well actually, being utilised for their strengths in the right games.

Much the same as you DPS, i was quite annoyed by the sacking and i felt it was unjust at the time - but we don't really know what was going on in the background at the time nor will we ever find out. But you have to say that the decision at the moment looks like the right one. I loved the appointment of Nigel, felt it was excellent. He's a modern, forward thinking manager and can go all the way with us - there aren't too many young managers around with his talent, I really rate the guy and have since day 1. It does all look really positive now with the excitement of another transfer window coming up, and with the benefit of hindsight it does look like Nicola has made the correct choice for the long-term.

It's really a promotion or bust for them this year, next summer should be great. We'll be celebrating a promotion with a nice trophy and they're once again imploding from finishing bottom half in the championship.

but we need 10 new players..!!!!!

Interviewer - ''Has cortese given you a specific budget to spend" Adkins - "Look, i have a great relationship with Cortese'' Interviewer - ''but has cortese given you a budget to work with?" Adkins "bit pushy aren't you? me and cortese have a great relationship and bids have been made privately (substational bids too) for players. If they happen they happen, if they don't we move onto the next"

i loved the fact that they had to repeat the budget thing twice....just to make it clear.

lol @ the adkins interview....repeated randomally

another good thing from our last 3 games...our GD is now excellent and is keeping us in 2nd place (with charlton now winning) we're only 5 goals behind Brightons +22 GD.

great result, just what we needed to do. We did lose the plot a bit after they pulled one back, but we're always a threat on the break and it seems as if Lambert is getting back to the level we all know he's capable of. ...quite ominous for the other teams in this league! Table is looking good now, couple of results could have been better but on the large - the pack behind us is now much further away.

chambo off, barnard on Guly into midfield i guess

great effort by chappers, just over the bar. Sub by daggers - bas savage off, Josh scott on. Like for like by the sounds of it.

sounds like dickson has had a good game

totally, but i can't imagine he'll commit himself until he knows we're out of this league. From his POV it's probably the most sensible thing to do tbh. He'll be here till the end of the season whatever.

TBH mate, i know you were not that keen on getting Adkins but he has made a great impact here - look at where we are in the league. There is nothing wrong with us and we'll only get stronger in the window, just enjoy us being in an automatic promotion battle for a change!

And those certain posters will now vanish, only to be seen again when the going gets tough. so predictable.

Lallananananana 1-0!!!

made by people who can't even hear/see the match...they are just following comments on here...it is totally mental.

I imagine people expect us to be 10-0 up already because we're Saints and they're Dagenham. Bit harsh, it's places like this which are often the hardest places to go to all season so any win - no matter how big or small, will be excellent.

You'll vanish off this thread as soon as we score, FACT.

I'm confused by certain peoples comments - is the game over already? no. Have we played badly? no Have we dominated much of the game? yes
