bpsaint Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 I see Alpine is here. Wallowing in misery and predictable moans about how we should have strengthened our defence I'd imagine. Don't think I'll be back as I'm not sure I can remain polite. I know Alps can be overly negative at times but it's wrong to beat him with a stick over the points raised about our defence, it's a damned joke that we didn't bother spending a decent amount of cash strengthening our defence.

S-Clarke Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 Let's be realistic. Every year in the premiership we always used to get a tonking from someone. I'm as disappointed as the next Saints fan, but let's not go into a blind panic. Would you sooner be 4-1 down away at Arsenal at half time, or nil all at home to Walsall? We've just been spoilt in the past three seasons by winning more than we are used to. This makes getting a spanking hard to take, but it wont be the last one receive this season. I was expecting to be bottom after 4 games, as most of us were. We were hoping/expecting to have more than 0 points, but our points will come. Just not today. I agree with points of what you say, but let's not blindly accept a thrashing here. I'm pretty sure the management and players wouldn't. I also don't quite get the ''we were in L1 a few years ago'' argument. We were, we did well to get back, so now let's make a good fist of staying here. I think the fixtures were unkind, but possibly, if we look at the end of the season we can say they were ''kind'' as our run in is incredibly favorable.

badgerx16 Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 It's far to early to say but how long long would you give Adkins? If we're bottom at Christmas is that too long? I think what matters is where we are in relation to the teams around us - if we are within 2 or 3 points of 16th place it's a different situation to being cut adrift. ( Assuming that is that the next 3 months pan out as Alps predicts ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 (edited) I'll ask the question again. Could the £12m spent on Ramirez have been better spent elsewhere? From what I've seen it could've been spent pretty much anywhere and it'd be better than what I'm watching. The back 4 and the keeper look ****ing awful. We all knew we needed to strengthen in these areas. We haven't and now we're being punished for not doing so. Adkins has got his tactics wrong... again! He's out of his depth in this league.

unionhotel Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 Calm down dears. It was clear the first 3-4 games were going to be extremely difficult - so stay with the program and try to enjoy the next chapter in our history. Absolutely right! The only game I thought we'd have some chance was Wigan. It doesn't matter what the score is today. We Have played well against City and Utd. Arsenal was always going to be the bigger test. Get over it, regain some respectability and move on to the next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 Considering we can get relegated and promoted next season within the "5 year plan" I don't think he'll get sacked at all. This is very true - and something that many seem to have forgotten about. I know it's not the best scenario, and survival this season is preferable - but it we go down, it isn't the end of the world.

Elmore Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 Two own goals in one match and a 1st half injury to our centre-back. The most annoying goal imo is the one which beat Kelvin at his near-post. That is the second one of those he has let in in 4 matches - that is pretty poor and he doesn't usually get beat there.

If I'm really honest with you, I think he's looked out of his depth and lower-league in most of what he's done this season. I love Kelvin, massive fan of him and he's been a big reason as to why we're here - but I wanted to give him a chance, I thought he'd give it a good crack - but alas, that's not seeming to be the case and he looks totally out of his depth.
