Avenue Saint

Needs games I suppose but things like handling and collecting, these are basics for keepers and he doesn't look composed enough. His kicking is poor but he could get better with games, do we have enough of those or do we need to buy? I don't think we'll see Davis again in the league this season...

They all will keep getting better... Thoughtful buys! Fonte and Yoshida are striking up quite a serious looking mean partnership.

Adkins 1-0 Wenker

Arsenal with 1 shot on target all game, tells you what level of game we played today! Absolutely fantastic how Adkins has turned this team around

Absolutely fantastic performance. Stopped world class players playing today standing toe to toe in each position. Fantastic by Adkins on tactics! Against stoke, it was spot on, today it was precision engineering!! Should've won that, the team is looking stronger and stronger.

Would've preferred Richardson at right back and Cork alongside Morgan. Hopefully Boruc has a good game.

Agreed.

------------------- Gazza ------------------- Clyne---- Fonte --- Yoshida --- Shaw ------- Schneiderlin --- Cork ------------ ---- Puncheon -- Ramirez --- Guly ---- ----------------- Lambert ----------------

Happy new year Chaps.

4-2 saints!

Nah, I'ld go with Gazza again. Something not right with Boruc situation. Also although Gazza might slip up, he may equally pull off a Worldy to balance it out and right now I would take a par performance from a keeper

Davis cost us yesterday.

C'MON you Saints!

Big lol at the mugs slating Adkins (again) based on formation, before ball was even kicked!

About the keeper, just think Boruc will be gone in Jan. Agree with all else. Don't think we're far off a decent squad at all. Lallana brings a lot to our team and influences players alongside. We missed him yesterday and his absence seriously affected the way we normally are successful at playing.

5 players needed. 1) Gk 2) Cb 3) Lb 4) Def Mid 5) Wide Mid A centre back to compete with Yoshida, a left back to compete with Shaw, a skilful wide man to rotate with punch and Lallana, a holding midfielder to cover Morgan and an experienced keeper. Out: Boruc Seaborne Butterfield Fox Forte Chaplow De Ridder (undecided) Guly (undecided)

I think he's an excellent manager and the teamwork ethics and unity at the club are a great credit to his management style. I believe he will be a long term success at our great club.

Unbelievable.

Thank you for all the posts above. It's been a difficult year but kind words soften the weight of sadness... Please all focus on the thread and apologies for bringing it up. Up the mighty Saints!

Thanks Ottery, All the best to you and yours. Merry Xmas

Are you ever curious why you get flack on here? "Vile" "twisted" "c n u t" take a look at yourself first

I think this is going to end up as a very good season! Just a shame some forgot the season lasted 38 games and not a mere handful.

Always though you were a twisted waste of space.
