With Barnard having a 3 game ban i dont think there was much choice but to play Connolly.

team Vs Rochdale. Davis. Butterfield, Fonte, Martin, Harding. Chamberlain, Hammond©, Schneiderlin, Puncheon. Connolly, Lambert

Thanks for calling me a pillock! Unfortunately i wasn't able to spend all day yesterday trawling through all the threads on the forum and when i saw the "news" on the echo site and then couldn't see any threads with Adkins' name in so presumed it hadn't been seen so thought i'd post it. Feel free to pass on by if it bores you!

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8372231.New_favourite_Adkins_coy_on_Saints_link/?ref=rss S****HORPE United boss Nigel Adkins has emerged as the new favourite to succeed Alan Pardew as Saints manager – and last night he refused to deny he was on his way to St Mary’s. Adkins yesterday shot to the top of the book-makers’ list of candidates to become Saints' new manager following Pardew's sacking on Monday. The 45 year-old was a guest on Sky Sports’ Football League show last night. And when asked specifically if he was leaving Glanford Park for St Mary’s, Adkins replied intriguingly: “Shall we move on to the next question.” Adkins admitted he was flattered to be linked with Saints and said it reflected well on everyone at S****horpe. “If we are up their (in the betting) and getting the recognition that is down to a lot of hard work by a lot of people at our football club,” he said. “I’m very pleased (to be the favourite) for everyone at our football club because we have been linked with a lot of clubs in the past and it’s just recognition for all the hard work that goes on at our club – the chairman, coaching staff and players. “I think it’s great testament to all the hard work that’s going on at our football club.” Adkins’ first managerial job was with Bangor City. He was in charge of the League of Wales side between 1993 and 1996 and guided them to successive titles in 1994 and 1995. He initially went to S****horpe as the club’s physio. But following a brief but successful spell as caretaker manager following the departure of Brian Laws he was named as The Iron’s new permanent manager in December 2006. And at S****horpe he has twice achieved the target Saints have been set this season - promotion from League One. S****horpe won promotion to the second tier as champions in Adkins' first season in charge. They were relegated back to the third tier the following campaign but bounced back immediately and performed above expectations to retain their Championship status last season.

How olds your daughter? You can buy an adult and pair ticket for no more than an adult price if she's under 8. So you may as well get the tickets earlier even if she doesnt go with you. (And it increases the attendance! lol)

Maybe it's not going to be an issue if we're gonna have MALI as our sponsors?

Further correction. Its just a terrace with a load on seats just bolted onto it.

He still lives in Warsash

He's actually from Hungerford. (But played for Poole one season)

on twitter...... solentsport #Saintsfc keeper Kelvin Davis said to written press "i've never been at a club where everyone likes the manager"... Response to unrest talk

hear hear!!!!! We need and deserve to have answers. The rumour mill and bad feeling may well just get worse otherwise.

Unfortunatly it worked fine for me.

Kitson has joined skates from stoke as part of the Wilson deal. Sky sports news unsure as to the situation with Liam Lawrence at the moment

James Hurst joins West Brom on loan. SSN

BBC Radio Solent understands that striker David Nugent is close to agreeing a move back to Burnley captain Marc Wilson is reported to be at Stoke City ahead of a move to the Britannia Stadium. Liam Lawrence not keen on move in the opposite direction. Tommy Smith close to agreeing move to QPR.

Millenium stadium?

I like the shirt and Illingsworth isn't my spokesman!!!!

Thats how i read it. It seemed to me that there may have been a bust up yesterday and Downes and Murdoch may have turned round and said if he goes so do we.

That was back in May though. And Cotterrill is hardly a step up for the club

Please not Sven!!!!!!

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2139306,00.html Official Club Statement Posted on: Mon 30 Aug 2010 New First Team Football Manager and Coaches to be Appointed Following a review of the current status in and around the First Team, the Club has decided that, to achieve its well known targets, it is essential to make changes to the First Team management and coaching. These targets for sustained and significant progress embrace both the First Team and the Football Development & Support Centre as integrated, co-operative units. Consequently, the First Team Manager, Alan Pardew; First Team Coach, Wally Downes; and Goalkeeping Coach, Stuart Murdoch have been relieved of their duties with immediate effect. The Club wishes them well for the future. While we have commenced our careful evaluation of our candidates and longer term requirements, Dean Wilkins has taken on the caretaker role for the First Team and he will be assisted by Martin Hunter, the Under 21 coach. We recognise that frequent changes to the football management are unlikely to assist in the winning of trophies and promotions. However, we are taking these steps to achieve our aims, which we share with all supporters, to get promoted this season, and secure long term stability and progress for our football operations.
