sandwichsaint Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 With all these games getting called off it feels like the close season and this thread is a classic close season thread. Loving your avatar! Do they do it in red and can I get a tee-shirt?
doddisalegend Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 I have to say that it is complete cobblers that this thread is still so high up in the posts list ( yes I know that I have not helped with this) so many folks have to pull their heads out of their backsides and give one of the most promising young English managers a chance. Some folks need reminding that Sir Alex was on his last chance and now Man U are a team we would all like Saints to emulate. We are in league one partly because of the revolving door policy with managers. Get off Adkins back You could have posted the exact same thing last season about the last manager. The thing is the chairman hires and fires managers not people message boards. The actual number of people who want Adkins sacked around here could be counted on one hand, pointing out that he doesn't get every thing right is not the same as wanting him sacked.

It is acceptable to criticise without calling for somebodies head. I think people need to remember that Adkins has only had 16 games. Yes he has made mistakes, but we aren't adrift of the promotion places. Let's see where we are at the end of January.
Legod Third Coming Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 does this point need to be made 85 times a day Ignore it then. The incredible thing about the internet and freedom of speech is that we also have FREEDOM to listen, or not...
Legod Third Coming Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 news flash for you - WE WILL LOSE AGAIN THIS SEASON...we may even lose another home game Low expectations my friend. Why is losing inevitable? I bet your life Roger Federer doesn't believe that.
NickG Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 where were we and how were we playing when Adkins came in? lowest amount of points in division after 6 games, now 5 points with two games in hand off 2nd. time to put those knives back in the drawer for a while!
Tom & Gerry Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 Low expectations my friend. Why is losing inevitable? I bet your life Roger Federer doesn't believe that. Some people prefer to live in the real world and believe what they see with there own eyes on the pitch not how much we've spent or pie in the sky hype about becoming a force in the premier league with our own style of play. Half a season has gone and we have not peformed or looked capable of becoming a top 2 team.
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 Exactly. It is acceptable to criticise without calling for somebodies head.

Funny that - so do most Managers especially if you look through the glasses most football fans seem to have on when looking at their teams. Managers & players make mistakes - its what makes football so interesting/addictive. BTW did anyone predict the result at Exeter yesterday?
doddisalegend Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 does this point need to be made 85 times a day Well as you started this thread apparently it does yes.
Thedelldays Posted 19 December, 2010 Author Posted 19 December, 2010 Well as you started this thread apparently it does yes. what has me starting this thread and people like you saying the same thing on every thread..?
doddisalegend Posted 19 December, 2010 Posted 19 December, 2010 what has me starting this thread and people like you saying the same thing on every thread..? You (and a few others) have got it into your heads that "The knives are out for Adkins". People mention they're not happy about certain things and you say stuff like this Adkins out... Yeah So while people keep assuming that everyone who is not super happy with everything that happens on the pitch are actually calling for Adkins to be sacked. I suppose I'll have to keep making the point.
