3-3? Blimey I know I was plissed that night but to throw away my betting slip as I thought it was 4-4 and not 3-3 has made it very painful now.

My last game that had the stands rocking was a 4-4 draw vs Newcastle. It was the last game of the season and Blayney did a worldly from Shearer.

Can't help but be jealous of watching the Celtic fans celebrate an awesome result last night but it got me thinking. When was our last big weekday game when the stands was rocking & what IYHO has been the greatest evening match you have seen at St Mary's or the Dell?

I was very surprised to see a piece of paper on the floor after the press conference, I presume it fell from Adkins pocket as it reads as followed: Nigel I want the formation to be 4-3-1-2 on Saturday and Gaston will play in the hole. Signed Nicola.

Get them down Butlins for a good **** up!!

Confidence and a suited formation is the answer.

Adkins changed it as he wanted to focus on the football side of things today according to a report on twitter. It makes sense as our squad should be learning how to stop the ball going in our net.

Norm, Wurzel & Snooper. They are the three baddest guys you could ever meet on the streets.

Adkins team talk can go either one of two ways. 'Okay gentlemen, this could be my last game as a manager if we lose' Saints 1 Swansea 4 OR 'Right you bunch of cvnts, get out there and kick those tw*ts 20 feet in the air as I'm sick to death of the **** poor performances you have laid on recently.' Saints 4 Swansea 1

Lambert's had a chest infection for a while and Adkins was convinced he was not fit enough to play 90 minutes while Lambert totally disagreed with his decision to keep pulling him off.

The whole team are feeling it but IMHO Rickie is being treated strangely as Adkins does not think he's fit enough.

The big question is 'Something has got to change' I can't suddenly see the players gain the confidence which is draining from them everyweek and Adkins is not going to give it back to them the way it's going. I only hope Cortese has something lined up with these run of games coming up as we could quite easily shoot up the table with the right management behind us.

I believe the way he kept the same team for 78 minutes suggests that was his best team and he wants them to gell better. Still think he will survive for Saturday myself as the easier games are coming up. Positives? Gaston getting a run out Shaw making his debut Saints fans still backing the team and manager Negatives? give the ball away so cheaply Fox and Yushi are ****.

We need to be very tight tonight, if in doubt lump it out, anyone looking to tear us a new one take him out and finally use a formation that allows us to get players behind the ball 4-5-1. Give Ram a free role while everyone works hard arou d him as he has the quality to find that special ball for breakers. Boruc Richardson Fonte Mushi Clyne Cork Puncheon Spider Ramirez Jrod Lambert Lallana on the bench as he does not track back enough, but an able replacement for Ramirez on the 60th minute mark while Davis swaps with Cork and some quick legs for Lambert on the 80th minute. (depending on the score) Keep it tight with a solid formation please.

Ha ha true. She is quite tasty too if anyone has the time to post a link?

I would be really disappointed if we don't get them in straight away rather than haggle over the price with several options in mind. Like to see Phillips for the right flank and any defender than can (a) Head a ball (b) does not score own goals © can pass to a team mate (d) not give away stupid penalties.

So many people are saying we have played 8 of the top 10 and that it's too early to judge, I understand all that but it's the manner on how we have been turd in most of those games with a defence that has more holes than a Swiss cheese. Im going 2/10 because we lack an away formation that can stop the goals.

Just imagine we could say that come the end of the season we have played the top 19 teams and that it's not fair? I believe it does not matter who you played as a good team can beat anyone on it's day and at the moment we don't look like even getting a point.

Gaston has played two full 90 minutes since the Olympics I believe, hardly match fit or even close to it IMHO, but I see your point about Lee as he's been out far too long.

Like pass to a team mate? Seriously...... he has been back training for a while now but I doubt we will see him for a while as Lee was made to wait 3 weeks.

I would love if Adkins said the reason for the WBA defeat was tired legs

Fox, Guly & Jos for starters

Winning breeds confidence, Im trying to workout if any player in our team has not tasted a victory yet this season?

Can't believe how strong the teams that Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool have put out tonight. We don't have a game till next Monday and I just don't get it. Please don't say we had a tough one on Sunday as 48 hours is plenty of rest. Is Adkins scared to be ruthless and tell the fringe players I won't play you? Is he trying to keep a happy squad or something? I know the best way to bring kids forward is to play them with half decent players and not the pile of **** we have in the 3rd team. De Ridder, Chaplow, Seabourne & Jos should be shot and never to play for SFC again.

With the Xmas fixtures coming up I suppose we will try win one of them and give up on the others by fielding the reserves. I don't buy this rest bull**** because those they play internationals and European games are playing every 3 days, we could not even put the big guns on the bench because we thought the cold air in Leeds would hurt them.
