wild-saint

From memory one of the biggest complaints on here was AP lack of a gameplan when plan A failed other than resort to hoof it long to Lambert. I remember his tactical master stroke at home to Orient this season when he took off Barnard who at the time was by far the best player on the pitch. Genius. Incedently that was the moment i screamed in discust and decided to withdraw my support to all things AP.

No he doesnt. At the time there was no truth in it otherwise he would have been sacked in the summer / late last season. The fact is that NC decided aroud 3 months later to sack him for whatever his reasons where at the time. How long after a statement that he isn going to be sacking him is it ok to go an sack him without being called a liar? 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade? NC doesnt strike me as a man that will dawdle over a decision for 2/3 months, more so a man that will identify a problem and deal with it quickly, concisely and without semtiment. A man that continues headlong into disaster without the balls to reverse a decision that he feels isnt working is a fool and has no place running a company IMO

Chamberlains dad is his agent and is already talking to the very top clubs in the premier league. There is talk (from his dad) About selling him to a top club and loaning him back. Whether saints agree to that is another matter of course. His dad is defo courting the big 5 clubs at the moment so unlike lallan there seems to be no longer term plan to develop his career here

Maybe not in January but I fully agree with your comments. Adkins at other clubs has clearly favoured a strikeforce with mobility and pace which unfortunately our Rickie doesnt have either in abundance. He will surely be replaced once a replacement has been found but maybe at the end of the season and I suspect RL knows it too.

interesting that the OP says we played a 4-5-1 and was there but NA himself states we played a 433, I wonder who was right?

Lambert is clearlt not the player he was last year we can all see that. He has never been blessed with pace but he appears so immobile this year it is almost embarrassing. The question i have is why ? is it an injury he is cvarrying that isnt being revealed or is he just one of these players that starts to rapidly lose fitness as he approaches 30. Either way if its not sorted out or cant be sorted out I think our Rickie will be sold at the end of the season and will end up dropping through the leagues rather quickly. I can honestly see him playing non league footy by the time he is 31 if he fails to sort out his mobility issues.

+1 send them down

full respect to them. I agree the game has been taken over by the money men and to a degree ruined.

To be honest if you are a fat barsteward I doubt many articles of clothing do you many favours other than maybe a girdle. Back on topic id be happy to keep the sash only (and I mean only) if we win the league. dont change a winning formular and all that.

looked pretty decent if u ask me

Totally agree. We may get to see one or two players prove thier worth on the fringes and its only 15 quid. £15 is not a great deal of money for an afternoon out these days.

add the cost of paying off pardew then the financial cost of bringing in adkins could be quite high. Assuming at leat 18 - 24 months of AP's contract remained then that could esily be another 7 figure sum. That would need to be sanctioned as well.

agree the first was a fluke. Check the second again as he defo takes a little look up before he hits its. Chaplow had a good game. I like him a lot as he is the only CM player we have that gets beyond the front two, however he maybe needs a little more composure when he gets there. Although if he was then he would be playing at a higher level. Alex OA has it all ...pace to burn, two good feet and can deliver the final ball from either side. He is going to be some player. I liked the look of Bignall as well. He won every header, he is very mobile, makes good runs and again has two good feet. Id like to see a bit more of him in the side as I think he has bags of potential.

Dickson to come in for Harding? I dont suppose you could provide some information on how dickson has been doing in training to justify your opinion on this one? Has anyone seen him play in the stiffs / developmetn side and would like to provide feedback?

Wadge? is it procounced Vadge?

I cold ask them same of all of your posts. I jus thought yo may like to know that i agreed with him based on your negative rantings that IMO are designed to **** everyone off. i guess yo are happy that pimply have just made it 2-2

I think you may need to report me too as to be honest I agree with him as he is 100% correct in his post

anychance you could stop bleating on, youve made yor point that you think we are ahyte and going down. There is no need to keep repeating yourself as we can all remember your first post full of bleating.

Where did I state in my comment that I thought he was playing as he did last year and where did i say that i thought he was 100% match fit. If you take the time to engage your brain and take in what i wrote you would appreciate that but alas you didnt. My comment was that after his headed goal his touch and his confidence were visably returning. Add that to that the fact he is our top scorer this season, has scored 3 in 2 games also could have had at least another 2 against tranmere and you you can start to see why only a fool would drop him. Or do you still not grasp it?

you are so wrong. top scorer, 3 goals in 2 games. visibly improved by 100% when his header went in. the confidence and more importantly his touch is returning. anyone who would drop lambert after last saturdays performance clearly has a limited grasp of football imo

its about the only target he has managed to hit this season.

why the obsession with a big man to replace lambert? I went to the Boro game at the weekend as I was up north for the great north run and took in the game whilst i as there. They play wth Lita up front and Mcdonald playing in the hole behind who plays some really clever balls through. These two guys are far from big and strong but rely on pace (Lita) and quick and incisive passing through Mcdonald. I can tell you they looked really dangerous and were a real handfull for the Reading CB's. Ultimately its about playing to your players stregths that brings success. so if we sign another classy striker who isnt big and strong (ala lambert) then we just need to adjust our tactics to accomadate them. This i guess could be this elusive Plan B that we seem to be lacking?

Has LEs Reed screwed your wife or soemthing as you seem really bitter towards everything he has done. Add to that you add no weight of evidence to your claims about what is going on. Care to elaborate on all your claims?
