Baird of the land

For sentimental reasons (given how shabbily he was treated) i wouldn’t have an issue with Adkins coming back. It probably wouldn’t work but when you’ve been through the likes of Hughes / pellegrino / puel you know there’s worse possibilities out there.

He finished 6th and 4th for Swansea despite them trying to sell anything that moved. Went to a forest team in free fall and led them into the play offs.

I didn’t see the palace game(but heard he was poor) but he was one of best players in the Brighton game. So many other players have had multiple bad games and get constant starts, so don’t see why a bad game should equate to a spell in the cold.

With Livramento out for a year you’d think he’d just be getting his head down and trying to grab the opportunity that has presented, rather than speaking out. His defending in the cup outing was very concerning so I hope that was an aberration.

Sorry don’t agree. The idea that clinging off the relegation precipice would somehow be taken as a grand achievement if they’d just waited till the last day to achieve it is wrong.

Bringing on Romeu then was probably sensible to stop it becoming 4 or 5. What was clueless was doing nothing for 70 mins and then when he finally reacted it was the bizarre elyounessi move, which he had to fix later with the Romeu one.

I'd rather play something like 4-5-1.

He was a bit better in the first half today. Still bemused that neither him and Armstrong weren't hooked at some point during the game.

At this point in time attractive football is on the 'nice to have' list not the 'must have' list imo.

He may have promise but the last thing Saints need(if they stay in the prem) is a 20 year old with experience of playing in league 1.

Today was just predictable, including the head scratching let's not bother with subs despite us looking horrible. Surely it would have made more sense to have been less open, maybe go back to the 5 at the back and try and counter on Brentford. Interested to see if we see a GK change again as we're back to looking completely suspect at balls in the box.

Are Everton or Brentford a Wolves?

Weren't there people before the Villa game arguing how few of their squad would make a best combined XI.

Just saw Chelsea fell apart again. Not exactly heartering given we may need them to save our bacon by beating Leeds.

Not saying Dyche would be my preference but wouldn't be howling in outrage at the notion given how soft saints currently are. In the championship Cooper looks good(if Forest stay down). Wilder is also a decent manager.

Probably fitting if he goes after another 9 nil.

That would be atrocious. Effectively ' a we don't care if we get relegated/ don't take seriously the situation' message

What i don't understand is a manager who looks at something not working and does nothing about it. Please can we appoint someone who actually appoint a replacement who change things if we're getting embarassed.

Good to hear 'don't know what you are doing' chant.

Sorry they have to sack him.

Yeah amazing the halfwit is actually pleased with this 11.

Adams looking completely fed up on the bench with not even being considered when team is 2 nil down and looking completely embvarassingly bad/

Just completely fed up of Raph's substituations.

How can Ralph look at this useless lot and go they are doing great i won't bother making a sub.
