CWD Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 I really don't think getting rid of Adkins will make any difference. The problem we have is that our defensive players (except maybe Clyne) are not good enough. Yoshida is distinctly average from what I've seen, he is certainly not the saviour we hoped for. Get Aaron Martin back and give him a go. Can't be any worse, and losing Harding before signing a replacement was a mistake as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 Our effort off the ball is at around 70%. That might have been good enough in the CCC but we really need to step up and give 100%. Fitness shouldn't be the issue so what is it? Nonchalance? Naivety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 or he's as disinterested as the rest,and like them has lost heart. I find it incredible that players who must have dreamed of Premier league football all their lives can "lose interest" after a few poor results.

niceandfriendly Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 Spurs are f*cking claaaaaas. If they score another early, and that's it, don't get angry. Just enjoy the quality football they play. Shame it's coming against us but what can you do? Life is still good, mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotleySaint Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 I think Adkins has lost the players. Can't see him turning it round. Mainly cos we need new and better defenders. Which won't happen till Jan. Odd Adkins hasn't been himself since the start. Confidence is shot. No sign of tangible change/improvement from game to game that we are used to seeing.

Getting rid of Adkins may get rid of this devotion to gung ho line-ups. It's JRod or SRL not both. If you want to play 4-4-1-1 it's Lallana behind either JRod or SRL.

pap Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 Trouble is, I don't think Adkins' vacuous, fatuous ManagmentSpeak is enough to rouse the players at half time - or at any time for that matter - when their back are against the wall. I always assumed that Nige had a wider variety of catchphrases behind the scenes. You reckon that's a flawed assumption? Looking a little bit ragged today. Steve 'Interesting' Davis is not impressing me, giving the ball away a bit too much. Spurs are often all over us. Rickie looks wound up. Think this game is going to be pivotal to the rest of the season, whatever the result. If we end up getting hammered, questions are naturally going to be raised over Nige's ability for us to beat the "easier" teams coming up. We haven't done too well on that front so far.

Ally Biggs Posted 28 October, 2012 Share Posted 28 October, 2012 Can play at any tempo they want, This squad are just to weak for this league if you can't see it then clearly your a idiot, keeper is sluggish, fullbacks are useless, and the defence well put it this way might aswell play 8 at the back. Jrod watched every game wtf has he done for us? put him on the bench or loan him out at this level he isn't there yet. Spurs are doing us and credit to them look at the football they are playing, Confident, Pacey and authoritative Saints havent got a clue in comparison. Someone clearly is out of there depth that's not negativity that's reality if something doesn't change soon well the only way is back to the championship. No Ramirez will not save this club let's get realistic we need a new back line and a decent keeper and to build from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
