Oh dear! Looks like the effing play-offs now. Can't see Titsfield losing again. Ah well... Roll on next season, surely we'll be favourites to win Division 3 next time? Don't bet on it!

Typical gooble-de-gook from Adders. Excuses time now, we didn't win the league as Mr Cortese wanted... watch this space Brighton only win by cheating??? Do me a favour! Remember he was going to win this league and we'd catch Brighton? "Plenty of games left, plenty of twists and turns" No, I thought not but Mr Cortese will remember. This is called Grade 1 Rrse covering - but my guess is its much too late, the P45 is already signed and sealed in a brown envelope and awaiting delivery.

Don't give up the day job.

We just cannot deliver when it matters in away games so in reality it is not in our hands at all. We must as always rely on the other two to cock-it up! One might but surely not both. Put it this way, if we lose on Saturday would you bet your house on winning the other four....

Let's not kid ourselves lads, there is no way we are going to beat Brighton down at Saltdean, on the other hand we just cannot afford to lose. We must hope and pray for a draw 0-0 or 1-1 at best. Losing seems to be the bookies favourite, if we do we are pretty much stuck with the play-offs as Titsfield are never going to lose their game. Even a draw will mean that we only got one point from the 2 games in hand over Titsfield assuming we win the remaining 4; does anybody really think we're going to achieve that on current form? I hate myself for being so negative but this looks uncomfortably like a 3-1 defeat to me, Brighton will be on a high after clinching the league trophy!

It won't be comfortable there believe you me.

Five years??? What's that got to do with Nigel Adkins? It amazes me how people change these threads at the drop of a hat! What I will bet is that he will not be in charge when next season kicks off on Aug 1st. The guessing game as to who will keep us in the NPC should be starting now. Maybe MON is still waiting for the right decent offer. I know, I know but it beats these endless tedious debates about the bleedin' obvious. Of course we can only use the players we have who are fit and none of us will ever get a picture of that until they trot out onto the pitch come Saturday. The powers that be will make sure we are kept in the dark. Strategy secrets, trump cards... that's Adkins gooble-de-gook mental speak! What's that you say? I'm anti-Adkins and his crew.... You bet! ... and, I'll wager Mr Cortese is not a happy man, not a happy chappie at all with MR Adkins

Truth is guys Guly is an out-and-out striker not a winger or midfielder. He will always look poor playing a position he doesn't understand. Put him up front with Lambo and get him running into the channels and he'll score a hat-full of goals. On the wing / midfield he's wasted and it affects the balance of the team. Only an idiot would play Rooney at centre-back where he'd look like a grade 1 plonker.

We seem to be on the slide, Adkins post match interview was lunatic, he must have been at a different match to the one the rest of us saw. A man under very serious pressure from his boss it seems which would explain why he's becoming erratic. Without Schneiderlin , Lallana & Chamberlain and now Barnard & Jaidi we are just a makeshift side, many players out of position and not knowing their roles; what scares me is it looks like it will be this way until the end of the season. On today's showing absolutely no chance against Brighton and even the other four matches will be a struggle. I'm dreading the thought too of two play-off games against Rochdale. Not the happiest of days despite the 3 points.

1-0 would have done me so 2-0 is a bonus, good on ya boys!

They have to submit annual accounts which do not have to be published in the public domain. Clearly Saints owners are making a point about openness and transparency, which is very good to see. No need for futile and endless speculation about rumours and innuendo.

I remember many years ago when we last won promotion from what was then the old third Division, one of our final games to clinch promotion was an away trip to Orient. I went to see that and we won 1-0 and duly won promotion, which could only be automatic in those days. A good omen? I hope so, let's hope history is about to repeat itself. I'll take 1-0 this time as well... COYR&W

Another 3 points form what was generally a pretty inept performance. Good job we had a solid back four. Nice one lads especially Jaidi & Dixon. Injuries could yet ruin our run in we seem to be dogged by bad luck in midfield. We're not there yet.

Excellent fightback, well done Forte & Barnard

It's just you SES!

Based on what exactly? A wing? A prayer. Blind faith? Misplaced optimism? or a realistic assessment of our current form with half our midfield in bed nursing injuries? Right now I'd settle for the 5 points as that is a very big ask in the current circumstances. Our season average is 1.8 pts / gm so rough or smooth we average 5.4 pts / 3 gm, so 5 would be near our best take over any period of 3 games - so I'd take it simply because right now we are in a very rough patch and the expectation must be that we won't get 5 points from those 3 games. A W.L.D. set will yield only 4, even for 5 we need a W.D.D.

Tell me you're kidding. Nobody with half a brain would elect to go for the play-offs.

Miserable s*d! ;-)

I don't get it, if this guy is good why would Oldham let him go? Surely they haven't chucked in the towel already as far as their own promo hopes are concerned? Smells fishy, waht's going on?

Any fool can just chuck in a juvenile response, why not address the points in my post - otherwise it is you who is the Idiot! Answer these points please! That is why ultimately I have lost confidence in Adkins, with far less talent Gus Poyet is doing an effing brilliant job so what's Adkins excuse? For sure, he'll now blame absences for any failure but for ****s sake he's had all year to recognise and address our obvious deficiencies and lack of cover and of course he's supposed to be Mr Effing Motivator. Trouble is he too often talks absolute ******** as many fans now realise and if you don't agree explain to the rest of us his game plan of "controlling the controllables" that so successfully closed the gap on Brighton from 10 points to 12 - this from the guru who is certain we will "win this league"?

I was a tiny kid and it was my first memories of Saints and will never forget the abject disappointment in the town. We'd never been in Divison 1 in our history and we missed out two or three years in succession and the widely held belief amongst fans was that the board didn't want promotion as we couldn't afford to go up. beginning to sound very familiar again? I remember my Dad grumbling about this endlessly - like father, like son! Luckily he lived long enough not only to see them get into League 1 once but twice. You are quite right of course that we seem to be in an alarmingly similar situation all over again now. We have to stop kidding ourselves, even with Lalla and Chambo around we keep misfiring more often than we get it together and indeed it is becoming more rare for us to get our full act together and fire on all cylinders even with Morgan on the field. That is why ultimately I have lost confidence in Adkins, with far less talent Gus Poyet is doing an effing brilliant job so what's Adkins excuse? For sure, he'll now blame absences for any failure but for ****s sake he's had all year to recognise and address our obvious deficiencies and lack of cover and of course he's supposed to be Mr Effing Motivator. Trouble is he too often talks absolute ******** as many fans now realise and if you don't agree explain to the rest of us his game plan of "controlling the controllables" that so successfully closed the gap on Brighton from 10 points to 12 - this from the guru who is certain we will "win this league"? So we have no cover, we have no Plan B or C and as far as one can tell our last resort has become endless long ball hoofball up to their back four and when the need comes for passing all we can do is pass it back to Davies in the hope that he can come up with yet another variation on the delayed long put into oblivion.

Dear Boy, there is no way for us other than the play-offs and we will f*** those up as well! This is not going to be our season so you might as well get used to it.

As I said last night, whenever it really matters that they get three vital points Saints have throughout their history f***** it up and true to form they f***** it up big time again tonight! Now with Lallana and Chamberlain gone we are up sh** creek, paddleless, rudderless and clueless. All the sh** has hit our fan at once and you know, don't you just know that we are not going to get out of this crappy league this season. If Adders didn't seal his own fate tonight then Cortese wants his head examined but there again you knew he'd keep putting off the inevitable until it was too late. Bring back Dave Merrington before all is lost. MKDons & Charlton without Lala, Schneiderlin and Chambo doesn't bear thinking about whether we're at home or not. Another sleepless bloody night - thanks guys, thanks a bunch! W**kers!

So old Dan Harding is relieved that "it is in our own hands now" Get real you brainless ****, if it were in our own hands we'd be 10 points clear instead of relying on others to f*** it up more often than we do.

I don't know about you guys but Adders lack of basic grammar and narrow vocabulary gets on my tits. He lays himself open to ridicule with every new phrase uttered. I thought the guy was supposed to be a fully paid up member of the intelligentsia.
