Professor Posted 3 December, 2011 Share Posted 3 December, 2011 NA complaining that his team should not have let the goal be scored is not the point. To win this game Saints had to score and they didn't. Saying away form needs to improve is STBO (stating the bleeding obvious) but saying it is not enough. They have to do it and starting straight away. Poor performances recently have suggested this is coming and I'm not convinced that NA knows what to do about it, so Nigel - get out there and pick the targets to bring in i8n January. It is only 4 weeks away and we need at least 3 first choice quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 4 December, 2011 Share Posted 4 December, 2011 Mr Adkins' true ability is now going to be tested and i suspect he will come under the microscope a tad more by those who put him on such a high pedastool. It's all very well banging on in soundbites but that means very little in the grand scheme of things. The January transfer window may well prove very important,as of yet i remain to be convinced of his abilitys in this area. Some will go on about Cork.......lets just look at some of those aquisitions that have struggled to ignite the imagination...Bignall,forte and De ridder seems to have found his level after all the excitement of his arrival. Nigel is very close to being a quality manager/coach...but there are still question marks and these need highlighting on occasions. I'm sure NA is this man to take us further,he has done remarkably well,although much of what is in place was here prior to his arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 4 December, 2011 Share Posted 4 December, 2011 our away form is adding tremendous pressure to our home games. It said on Solent that 3of the next 4 are at home. Can we expect 9 points from those home games ? i think not especially if RL is not fit. The lack of back up for RL has been obvious for over a year or so, nobody at the club seems to have tried to rectify. Yes ther have been rumours that we are after forwards but we have failed to gett one in.The loss of Chaplow and RL is telling and fans at other clubs have been scoffed at when they have stated we woud falter hwen injuries took their toll. It is only a defeat but BC was bad enough to not learn the lessons of that game is a bit worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should have left it that way at least until 60 odd minutes or so,I think a lot of fans are deluding themselves about De Ridder, I've the advantage of having seen him in both Belgian and Dutch football and he just ain't that good. He rushes around a lot but against decent defenders,well I don't think he'll even last the season as a first team contender. You all need to stop making this player some sort of demi-god just because he's a bit of a wag on the old social networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that wins at home against teams like Hull knock the stuffing out of us a bit, the players aren't robots.Idem West Ham, great win at Boro but they seem to have been running on empty in the second half yesterday as well.You have to face the fact that with squads of 20 or so realistic Championship players (cos I don't count the Dicksons and Fortes) for a 46 game season with those feck stupid international breaks compacting those games into a 32 week or so period teams are going to have peaks and troughs. You win a toughie,you lose an easy one simply because you've lost players through injury and the others are sh*gged out.Expect to see us revived after a whole week's break, I hope the management give them a bit of time off this week.Now when rivals start bringing in Prem loans who've played about zero games this season so far against our players who have 20+ on the counter the effect is easily seen.

Yes I would agree with that certainly, i think I made some fairly hefty comments about the depth of the strike force when we sent out such a poor side against Palarse.Now I'm not writing Barnard off but let's be honest against a CB of the quality of Beye he's going to get absolutely sod all, Beye eats journeymen like him up for elevenses,cos Beye well he's a bloody good player, better than any of our CBs as I've said elsewhere. Guly is dangerous but he seems to struggle with the offside trap and everybody knows what I think about De Ridder.So yes we've nothing in reserve and nothing coming through the ranks,don't think that's Nigel's fault though, he's been loyal to Barney and duped into having De Ridder.If only we had something to fall back on in the nebulous 'development squad' because there all I see is players who are nearly as old as some of the lads in the first eleven who are just a few months older and who have 100+ first team games on the counter. But as Pilchards says elsewhere I think NC is a bit of a Scrooge on the transfer fee and wage bill front,we've wasted money that should have gone to boosting our strike force and the idea of 10 hom grown players isn't materialising, neither is it likely to. Look at our side yesterday, one of the famous academies in football and yet yesterday we had 10 bought in players out of 11.

We may need to grind out results sometimes, rather than play pretty football. We have been over performing, that's why we have all been gob smacked by the quality of the passing football to open things up. We are more surprised than opposition fans as to how we have been playing, it just came out of the blue from the start. At first it looked like the addition of Cork had brought all this about, but that has been levelled now. I didn't see this fall coming, but it's well and truly here and we are all wondering when we will come out the other side, hopefully soon. Just how can the away form be the crux of the issue, when you have won 30 points at home against 12 on the road? We are just off form at the present with a couple of injuries that are costing us. Adkins and the players are trying, but it is just not there at the present and we will have to be patient for all to return. One common point I would look at with the Bristol and Doncaster games was that we hyped ourselves up too much because of everything we had been doing well. If we had played for the draw in those games I could easily see us coming out with 2-3 points, but Adkins was prepared to risk 1 point for 3 on both occasions. I see nothing wrong with that given our previous, but we just have to accept that we don't have players on form or available at the present. These things will happen and you can do the best with what you have left and it's still not going to be good enough. Doncaster look the worst team in this league and by comparison just shows how far we are off the pace at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is if you play in a certain way due to a specific player (Lambert, in our case) you should also be able to adapt into other styles of play when he isn't available. There is only one Rickie Lambert, but many ways of playing football. Instead of trying to find Rickie Lambert the second, shouldn't we be trying to find a style that suits our other attacking options and gets the best out of them?

Lighthouse Posted 5 December, 2011 Share Posted 5 December, 2011 Puncheon would solve this current dilemma only real Adkins **** up so far. Too late for punch to save our away form? If the away league games I've been to are anything to go by (Cardiff, Derby, Burnley, Coventry, Barnsley) our problem away from home has been more of a general attitude problem, rather than missing tallent in our team. Burnley and Cardiff were almost identical, we just plane didn't turn up for 70 minutes. Plenty of tallent on the pitch, but nobody seemed to get in gear. Derby and Barnsley we played better and created chances, but really didn't kill them off when we should have. Coventry we did the hard work first half, then switched off for a good 30 minutes after the break. There were a couple of wins in that lot and maybe I'm being a bit too picky, but none of those were by any means comprehensive performances. If we go to West Ham, Boro or Leeds and play like we did in ANY of those games, we wont win. It's not about having better players (although we badly need someone to cover for/compete with/completement Lambert) it's about getting the right attitude on the road.
