Of course you got upset when I pointed it out after the MK Dons game....so how many times must he do it before you and others admit that whilst he is a decent keeper he has one almighty weakness....THE FKIN NEAR POST !!!!!!!

The answer to your origibnal question Roger seems to be "no" - nobody has a clue when he will be back ;-)

I know, I just want this season to be over ASAP with us sat 2nd in the league !! I must say though delldays has summed it up for me, exactly what we need, the big margin of error....I know he is probably right but I wont relax until its confirmed.

The only negativity would be on here !!! We can afford to lose 2 games and still be alright, we cant keep winning, we have to drop 2 or 3 points somewhere along the line and as has already been suggested this could be our hardest game. I think of any points gained at Rochdale as a bonus cos we still have a game in hand, and i think we will get something at Brighton.

Rickie slipped a "simple as that" in to his interview too !!

Had it said "Games since a defeat" you are correct and it would have said 8 But it didnt say that.....did it ?

Absolutely......quietly take care of business, control the controllables and stay on the bus til the end of the road. **** the BBC :-)

According to Adkins Stephens would be "in the mix" for todays game. I would suggest that means he will feature on Tuesday night, possibly on the bench.

I agree, but by winning today we have taken the pressure off ourselves for Tuesday night. Anything we get there can be considered a bonus especially given we will still have one game in hand.

Didnt realise Rochdale and Orient both have to entertain Peterbro......i thought they had an easy run in......not so sure now :-) Rochdale could have a huge huge say in what happens, especially with regard to Bournemouth !

I just worked that out too ! 4 wins and possibly a draw should be enough.......

Harding and Chaplow back in, Lallana and Stephens missing (maybe on bench ?) - diamond formation with Dickson presumably playing left of the diamond. Butterfield back at right back too ! Lallana on bench, Stephens not.

According to South Today we are taking "just under 3000 fans" tomorrow ! Great research guys, you only had to check the OS where it tells you how many tickets we have sold !! Obviously dont want to compare us with the 16000 Poopey super fans who towed their caravans 45 mins up the road to Reading last week !!!

either of those would do for me

Black collar for me.....hides the dirt

The interview with Rahdi in the programme last Saturday stated that Adkins has told him he wants him to stay next year, he has said he wants to stay another year too so I cant see any reason why he wont still be on the bus next season.

Its not a loophole, he's got that wrong. He would be banned for a sending off plus the fact it took him over 10 cautions would come into the equation as well.

mee fkin owww There is no need to be like that is there, we all support Saints.

Thats Ben Reeves.

The diamond formation doesn't do Rickie any favours as he has to drift out wide. He is much better, goalscoring wise in a 4-4-2. However he has got a good football brain. A lot of his passing is excellent. Just look at the little ball he dinked through for Barnard to score on Saturday.

This is Pompey though, they can do whatever they like.

yeah of course, sorry, your view in Dubai on a computer screen was a lot better than mine, sat in line with the shot. The deflection, if there was one, was slight to say the least and the gap left was not slight. I did go on to say he had a better more assured game than recently so wind your neck in and what the hell you are talking about with NA's comments on the OS is beyond me. Sorry if expressing the opinion that our goalkeeper has a weakness when it comes to near post shots from an angle upsets you but its only my opinion...and that of a fair few others who dont come anywhere near this website. And if you read it properly you will see I am not only referring to yesterdays game. Seems the real experts are those that dont go to games and live in bloody Austria or Dubai.........

Not disputing that, absolutely right, but he needs to work on positioning for the near post stuff. Adkins was a keeper, I'm sure he will have noted KD's achilies heel.

If you look at the gallery on the OS Lambert shows similar passion !
