Jesus the standard of play from Villa and Reading is horrific. Its actually hard to pick a player from the 22 on the pitch that you would want in our team.

My Reading supporting mate said Norwich were horrendous when they played them a couple of weeks ago. Think they'll be a very organised team but I think we can break them down. COYR!!!!

Really good performance. Cork was sensational in midfield, Luke Shaw was very impressive as was Puncheon. Lots of positives. Gould of won comfortably but let's bring on QPR!!

Do we agree that the man is a saints legend? I mean successive promotions. Not many have achieved that.

All I'm saying is the team and manager need the cliche 12th man on Saturday and lets give it to them. Nigel Adkins will be a Saints legend no matter what.

Well against Spurs we were terrible at backing the team. I mean we need to back the team and Adkins. Taking inspiration from the away fans at West Brom.

Well he is our manager is he not, under pressure so quite relevant if you ask me?!

Coyr!!!!

We need to back this man on Saturday. This man has led us to two successful promotions which in my eyes earns him legend status forever for Southampton. Lets get behind him and the team no matter what.

He was back from a long term injury. Bit harsh.

No. The players will be more than happy to have a world class player in the squad.

I'm at the stage where I would more faith in him at CB than the others at the moment. Tbh even Lee at CB would give me more confidence than Fonte or Yoshida!

Could this happen. He was originally a CB but converted to a CM. He is a neat and tidy player and could help relieve some of these hideous errors of late. Plus with Seabourne now on loan. What do people think?

I'll give Adkins credit that was a very good interview.

Today showed more than our woeful defending. We had no character fight or confidence and when that starts to show you have to consider if the manager is the right man. I love him but I think we need a change ASAP. And I do agree to the argument who can we bring in. I simply don't know.

Well obviously but there are plenty of decent Championship managers out there.

Well under him I cannot see us getting past 15 points at this rate. That was a performance of a team with no fight and zero confidence. What can Adkins do to change things then?

Both managers threads closed for some reason. But the "but who can come in as manager" argument is nonsense. Managers with jobs can still become new managers at other clubs ala Holloway.

Well under him I cannot see us getting past 15 points at this rate. That was a performance of a team with no fight and zero confidence. What can Adkins do to change things then?

I thought it started in January?

Look at this performance. No fight whatsoever. We've given up completely. We need a new manager to lift the team ASAP. The confidence and belief looks dead. We have played poncey passing football with no effect in the 2nd half and Adkins has done little to change our approach. I love Adkins and he will always be a Saints legend for the last two seasons but he is so clearly out of his depth it's ridiculous. Its club over loyalty. Do people wanna stick with this current sinking ship or want change? And don't ge me started on our CBs. The are truly inept!!!!

Could Ramirez feature? Or is that just pure optimism?! Don't see we can't get get something, they are a team who are over achieving massively. Either way it'll be a high scoring game for sure.

Adkins out. That was pathetic for a game that would get us to the quarters. Pathetic.

Club comes first over loyalty and we are spiralling out of control at the minute. This was an opportunity for an away wi. Against a dece t team but instead we have licked a reserve team with a weird formation. We are not Barca we are a newly promoted team. Embarrassed. Get rid.

New manager please.
