Hah another training accident then, far too many of those seemingly, we've probably kicked more of our own players out of contention for weeks in training games than the opposition will do all season, perhaps we should have cards in training games.
Nigel always seems like that sort of bloke, he wants everyone to do well and probably believes everyone can do well, he's a sort of Professor Pangloss figure.
that sounds like Strachan not playing the Tinman because his English wasn't great....just an excuse . I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Chung loaned out (or even sold) in January, don't think the manager (or his assistant) wants him here. In fact I'm not at all sure that Crosby doesn't have more say in who plays and who doesn't than he ought to have.
Perhaps we are far too open but our plight would be nowhere near as bad if we were sharper in front of goal. Countless opportunities went begging again on Sunday, we can create chances with the best of them but our poor finishing lets us down. We should have won about 5-2 yesterday.
it's a known fact at SFC that the less you play the better you get until you actually play and everyone remembers exactly why you weren't playing. Right now our best players are Cork,Ramirez and Shaw.
Well yes they are but they're obviously being held back for the League Cup game because as we we know Nigel doesn't believe in rushing players back to the first team. Now Lee there's a dilema, if we'd played him at the start of the season he's probably have been in the Japan squad and wouldn't have been swanning about the south of France looking for stupid things to do. As for Cork, well if the Manager/Chairman had stripped me of my number 8 shirt I'd take my time getting fit as well.
Getting rid of Adkins may get rid of this devotion to gung ho line-ups. It's JRod or SRL not both. If you want to play 4-4-1-1 it's Lallana behind either JRod or SRL.
really needed to change the manager at the International Break. Adkins just doesn't have the skills to make anything of the hand he's been given. Plus he keeps playing JRod, when you've f*cked up you just have to admit it and cut your losses .
Not enough football this season, that's the problem.Far too many vacuum days where nothing vaguely Saints related is happening. Now if we had 46 league matches it would be better, plus the occasional bit of team news as well.
so did whoever hands out the numbers at SFC. When you aren't seen as a starter you get your 1-11 number taken away, apart from Lallana that is. Now if you believe Billy Sharp's tweets it's the chairman who decides that (I hope the Chairman lets me keep my number 11 shirt (to go with his new boots).
