ottery st mary Posted 12 December, 2010 Share Posted 12 December, 2010 (edited) I am still confident that Lambert is the man together with Barnard to lead us on through these next 3/4 weeks.. Guly back to the bench.. Chaplow and Hammond in the middle...Spiderman to the bench. Fonte and Seaborne at the back with Richardson and Harding at full back. Away to Walsall..Dickson on the left with Lallana on the right...AOX to rest ie back to bench for impact last 20 mins. Davis in Goal. Lambert to score with Barnard 2-0 Saints.. Nigel Adkins you can bring it back together. Edited 12 December, 2010 by ottery st mary meant Lambert and Barnard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 12 December, 2010 Share Posted 12 December, 2010 lambert tried yesterday.. he is just shyt Really? He was our best player last season. And Bristols the season before. And the year before. Yet he's suddenly rubbish now? Really? Semms odd. Everyone one (well everyone who's not an idiot) knows Lambert is a very good player in this league who is just going through a bad patch for one reason or another. Given time (perhaps a week or 2 out of the team) hopefully he can ome back stonger. In bad form, yes. Shyt? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 12 December, 2010 Share Posted 12 December, 2010 Did you see the game Delldays, or just going from the radio? Because in all honestly I thought he still won a lot of flick ons until it was obvious no other f*cker on the pitch was trying to connect with them, when he stopped trying so hard. It also doesn't help that for some reason he gets no protection from referees, so defenders can clamber all over his shoulders with impunity.

alpine_saint Posted 14 December, 2010 Share Posted 14 December, 2010 A question for all those advocating sticking by Ricky : at what point will you conclude that his level of performance is seriously affecting our promotion chances and something needs to be done ?

Toadhall Saint Posted 14 December, 2010 Share Posted 14 December, 2010 A question for all those advocating sticking by Ricky : at what point will you conclude that his level of performance is seriously affecting our promotion chances and something needs to be done ? Agree with you Alps - but what would you do if you were Adkins? Me I'd drop him and send him on a short holiday to "think" about his contribution. Only problems there are a) his first reaction and b) who to pick in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 14 December, 2010 Share Posted 14 December, 2010 honestly hard one to answer - a very good player missing out on form and luck - surely must change soon and will do well... but if he doesn't.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up and away Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 You only have to look at the gap between the OP and the resurrection to give some perspective on this. I believe Connolly has made a big difference to the team since his return and if I had to make a choice over that period of games, it would not be Ricky. Not being at the Forest game I could not judge how good Ricky's performance was, only that he was doing what he should be doing and taking the goals well. After watching the game I would agree with some of the comments on the match day thread, this is a different Ricky. Far more incisive and looking to be in the right place to score rather than provide. Hopefully this all becomes academic now and Ricky goes from strength to strength, but I have little doubt there were times when he deserved to be dropped. Ricky's enthusiasm for the team and everything Saints is the major factor in why I want him to do well and only too glad to praise him when it does come about, but that does not make you blind to previous performances. After what I saw against Forest, it's not impossible that Ricky could go on and emulate what Holt did for Norwich. All is possible with that type of performance and a whole heap of praise will have to go to Adkins for having that faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 (edited) Depends if someone drags one up to say look I was a ***** that's fine. If they drag up a thread to say look what a ***** (insert poster name of choice) is then I think it's a bit ****ish and just cuases arguements. I fail to see the difference. If you're going to be bold enough to air your views on a public forum then you should be willing to have those views reasonably challenged. And if any projections you make prove to be vastly wrong, why not highlight it? I've got no problems with people digging up any previous statements of mine and showing how wrong I was about certain things; this is a discussion site after all, and I'm more than capable of laughing at myself. If people are willing to make outlandish public statements but aren't prepared to accept the consequences that when they're wrong they will get called out on it, then they're far too precious IMO. And they should probably consider whether it's worth their while making the statement in the first place if they can't accept later criticism of it and throw a hissy fit at the notion they were proved incorrect.

I don't disagree with most of that the difference is If I go looking for my own post to highlight that I've been an arse I show I'm laid back enough to take the s hit that goes with it. Certain posters (we know who) don't take well to it. Now you can say "serves them right they shouldn't have posted it" but what actually happens is another good post gets ruined by a few posters scoring points that than spills over into other posts and so on. The best way for the forum to deal with posters they have a problem with is not to feed them. If people go looking to rattle the cages of certain posters they can't then complain that these posters ruin this forum IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 The resurrection of this thread and the piety that has gone with it is absolutely f**king hillarious. Back when the thread was started, there was no inkling that RL was going to take the best part of the season to recover his sharpness, and in addition there was no guarantee that he was going to cut it a Championship level, seeing as he had no track record. I assume the p*ssing contests on here are breaking out due to boredom and lack of things to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, if you're bold enough to publish a point of view on a public forum you should either be man enough to back that opinion up or to laugh at how misguided you turned out to be. Moaning that people call you out on being wrong is just deflection from being an idiot in the first place. I actually think its quite funny to be called up on mistakes in the past; I've made quite a few as I'm pretty sure everyone has. What I can also do is either justify why I made those mistakes in the first place or laugh along as what a completly idiotic viewpoint in was in the first place.
