Coventry 1 - 2 Saints - Post Match Reaction

Really good 2nd half.

 

Sounded like a GK howler for the winner, but we pushed very hard in that 2nd half and made those opportunities with a pretty young team.

 

We needed to end that losing run, and we have. We now go into the Forest game with a bit of a boost.

I'm gonna repost this here because I think it's relevant.

 

On the match thread, someone asked why Adkins 'gets it so wrong and leaves it so long to change it', and this was my reply:

 

This nicely highlights many of the problems we have at the moment, but not in a way you might think.

 

It highlights why some fans' black-and-white thinking (and often Dave Merrington's too) means they make fools of themselves.

 

Nigel Adkins always has a plan. He watches the opposition, he sends a team and formation out to do a job. He changes things, he tries things, and he is always analysing what is going on. Sometimes it works nicely. Sometimes, the opposition don't play as Nigel might have expected, sometimes Saints' don't play quite how he intended or players having a poor game mean we don't do the job intended. Sometimes luck plays a part. That's football. Stuff happens, things change. It is never a question of simply getting something 'right' or 'wrong'. That only happens in hindsight.

 

Nigel will get stuff wrong, but everything he does is done for a reason and I would rather someone like him in charge to get us out of a bad patch, rather than rely on luck of a chequebook.

 

He has earnt our trust IMO. And when the going gets tough, it is even more important to recognise this.

Well done kids. Wish we hadn't played Lallana though, surely a good time for a rest and let Holmes play.

 

Result of the day? Forest 0 Leicester 0, extra fixture for both to worry about when we play them.

 

Good point on the forest result - nice.

Went for a sleep at HT.

 

Delighted to see the lads pull this around, especially with Martin and JWP scoring.

 

On a personal note, first time I have never given a toss about the FA Cup. Its really loosing its 'magic'
