It´s only relevant if it can be related to real life, your question can´t. And even if so, I´m not the only one good at avoiding the question/s, am I? And no, I am not talking about "shots per game ratio". I am looking at every single game as it´s own game. And in every game under MP we have been the more producing team. And I have said it has not given us the results yet, but I believe that in the long run it will, cause it usually does that. Why would you otherwise think the top teams are there year after year if they weren´t producing more than their opponents? And results weren´t that much better under Adkins. 22 points from 23 games compared to 5 points from 6 games. Not that big a difference, is it?

Completely irrelevant since you cant make that kind of choice out here in the real life. Which team will be most successful in the long run, the teams that produce a lot of chances or the team that don´t? Would you think that we had won more or fewer games if we had produced this amount of chances over the whole season? I´m confident we are staying up this season, and much more so since 18th of january than before that date. And that´s not due to which manager we have but because we´re playing much better football now, even though the results hasn´t gone our way.

Well, if we average 6 shots per game, we would most definitaly go down. No teams win enough games doing that and that´s why I strongly believe QPR are doomed.

And by the way. My "assessments" were true facts, how can one disagree to that?

My bad. I am not saying we have been brilliant though, but we have been way better than most of the time under Adkins (this year). And the game against QPR wasn´t awful. Not great, not awful. Just mistakes that cost us.

But now you are talking against the sentiment of the thread..... If you want to talk about results, start a thread and talk about that. This thread was not about that....

No we have not played better under MP, we have played MUCH better. For the fun of it I have checked some stats on total shots and shots on goal in our last 15 games. It´s easy to see that under MP we have dominated those stats in every game but the Newcastle one, and even in that one whick most people think was a poor game we had more shots on goal than them. Now we have a team and manager with a bright future cause why do you think teams like Man U, Man C, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea are in the top of the table every year? Yes, cause they are dominating games and producing more chances than other teams. No, we are not there yet because we lack that final bit of quality but to score goals you have to produce chances and that is what we have been doing the last games much more the last 6 games than earlier this season. Saints-QPR 17–5 (9-3) total shots (shots on goal) Newcastle-Saints 11–11 (5-7) Saints- Man C 13-7 (7-4) Wigan-Saints 5-15 (3-7) Man U-Saints 11-21 (7-10) Saints-Everton 14-10 (11-7) Chelsea-Saints 19-7 (10-3) Aston V-Saints 16-11 (10-4) Saints-Chelsea 7-15 (5-12) Saints-Arsenal 9-6 (6-4) Stoke-Saints 10-8 (8-7) Fulham-Saints 10-7 (2-3) Saints-Sunderland 13-10 (7-6) Saints-Reading 18-6 (9-2) Liverpool-Saints 24-8 (11-4) Stats are from BBC.

Remember Sunderland at home?

That last sentence might be one of the most pathetic you have made the last few months, and God knows there is competition for that spot.....

yeah, we should have gone for Ben Haim, Chamakh and Pogatetz instead, dont you think guys??

100% agree.

JRod really has a wicked shot, hope he comes to more chances to whip it away...

So ´Arry did not stay in the same hotel as the players and his staff... shocker!! well, maybe not so much

Baptistao.....you heard it here first

Is it too much to ask for a thread of it´s own on who´s a troll, a tool or not....? In every frikkin thread the discussion comes up...

Why would QPR players even want to win? If they stay up it just means they have to stay at that sh*t club for another year. By now they should have realized how bad the club is. That´s why they have to buy 10-15 new players every year cause players find out how sh*t they are so they leave as fast as they can...

Good read but I dont agree that Cortese has not shown patience with former managers, but that´s my opnion...

Luke a doubt, what full back pairing would you prefer if he´s not playing? Richardson RB/Clyne LB Clyne RB/Fox LB Cork RB/Clyne LB Clyne RB/Yoshida LB Or other? For me I think Richardson/Clyne.

Oh no, Gazza in the middle of the picture....

You have NOT seen that for Boruc? Oh dear.....where were you from october to middle of january?

Exactly that, but I dont agree it could have gone either way. That´s about as easy it can be to make an offside call for a linesman and that´s also their favourite gesture these days to explain a lot of offside calls. If you cant trust a linesman to spot THAT call, then football has a big problem...

So what you are saying is that the linesman is forgiven for his BIG error due to that our players weren´t doing their job (defending) properly. But our players can´t be forgiven and blaim the linesman for not doing his job properly... If you have an opinion about things it should work both ways, should it not?

West (Hoof T)ham are a terrible team with a bunch of whiners, both players and fans. They are too decent at home to go down now with the points they have got early in the season but away they are truely an awful awful side. Never had any problems with them before last year but maybe because we were rivals then I changed my mind, and of course.....have never been a fan of BFS teams and the way they play hoofball.....Sry, I mean football..

We never win when Morgan scores..... But of course grrrreat news!!

I agree with a lot but I am not sure that the CB has to be very fast. With this system, when it works, we are forcing opponents to play the long high ball and then you need someone good in the air and before yesterday I thought Jos had done it very well....
