So you are happy with Pardew's performance so far? One point per game

I think you may well be both wrong Probably safe at Xmas

I think you raise an interesting point and like you I dont know

Yes I agree but Pardew is not that type of Manager although he appears to see potential in Adam and Morgan

Just use the last two games it is easy 4 points 2 per game 37 to go 74 -1 =73 Play off spot easy In fact use whatever figures you want to justify your stance. I dont think Pardew has the team playing well at the moment which will probably change soon but we wont get relegated and we wont get promoted either this season Which is what most people thought in July but hoped that things would have been better

Pardew has a squad he gets paid loads of money I think he should sort it out with what we have got. I dont think it is realistic to conjure some loanee from somewhere

But we are bottom 10 points from safety in the real world

To finish Mid table we need about 62 points or so in 37 games 16 wins 14 draws 7 losses A reasonable target I would have thought

The 20/20 team seemed to panic and lose games which they should have won. The youngsters were OK but not outstanding I dont think Dawson played as well this season than he had done before. Dimi was in and out of the England side which must have been unsettling

That is a bit short term though what happens when the loan ends we had that problem with Cork last season Perhaps Ryan Smith is available

Seeing 3 and 9 there Delldays I once saw Saints win 9 3 against Wolves (in one game not nine)

We wont get relegated but I want the team to play more positively thats all Still not sure about Lallana

Surely we want a team which wins and excites us not a boring one

Slightly underwhelming Positives Adams Carberry Lumb (in onedayers) getting in Cork Cup Win Pothas reliable as ever Disappointments The pace attack - Tremlett in particular and the 20/20 team

Same as last week perhaps? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=16597

Dont disagree but Sir Alex could sort our club no problem especially as we are a wealthy club in League 1

O'Shea Evans the other Neville

Such as Wes Brown Scholes Neville and Giggs ?

The Paint Trophy perhaps?

I think you maybe clutching at straws.

Probably the best post summing up our situation

I admire your endurance in putting forward the same point each week - I fully agree . I thought you had changed your user name as another poster put forward the same thing earlier. Dont think Pardew is my type of Manager a bit too defensive like Sven

So when will the building be finished and how will this affect the confidence of the existing players? By the way why cant Pardew get the present squad to play well he has enough help and lots of good players for League 1

I agree but we just dont seem to go forward and the team is not attack minded enough The trouble is I started watching nearly fifty years ago when we scored loads of goals because we had top class wingers and strikers
