Dazza82 Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Adkins has kept zero teams in the top flight thus far. And Mick has taken his country to the world cup finals but I'm sure winning promotion with Scunny is a far greater achievement. Adkins has got ZERO teams relegated from the prem mick has, Whats your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 nine games and we should get rid,some of you lot are unreal right ...and few people have mentioned that 7 of those 9 games were against sides presently in the top half of the league....and those clubs didn't get there just by beating us .... .....and the next game is WBA who are also well-placed..... ......so if we don't get a win there, then look out for another four or five new threads demanding Adkins removal ....when it ought to be some of the defenders who should be replaced in January. As ever, November is going to be a crucial month ...and the QPR and Norwich games will set the seal on any decision that might be pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I see the list of games...in what is supposed to be an average league, where half of it is not much better than the top 6 of the NPC...i see the list of games we should write off is getting bigger by the week.. Bet Norwich fans are thankful they never thought that when arsenal visited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 There is no difference between the top half of the championship and the bottom half of the Premeir league. FACT I wouldn't say the gap was that much Turkish. ... the gap between the bottom of the Prem. and the top of the Championship is much more (in skill terms) than just 3 places. Look at our finishing squad in May...and the squad we have now...... Does anyone think we are worse now than when we were promoted in May..? I think not...nor do I think that the top six in the Championship are better teams than we are now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 @SimonPeach: Going on @talkSPORT at 10.45pm to talk #SaintsFC & Nigel Adkins with @andygoldstein05 & @mickygray33. All welcome to listen to my ramblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Very true the list of teams we can't/won't/aren't supposed to beat gets longer every week..... It's completely unreasonable to expect us to pick up any points when every single team we've played so far this season is above us in the table.

Wade Garrett Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 You're making your judgement on an impression you've gained, not on any concrete evidence, which as far as I'm aware, none of us have on here. Tactics have been drawn up from intelligence gained about a rival side, or dictated by circumstances during a match. Team selections and substitutions likewise. Whether they were right or wrong is dependent on the result of a match, but even then is debateable. Take for example the Man City match when he left out Lambert and Davis from the starting line-up, but both scored when they came on. Tactical nous, or would they have also scored in the first half too? And you base your opinion that he has lost the dressing room on what precisely? And who would you bring in to replace him? I don't feel the need to justify my opinions to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Rather have Adkins than mick McCarthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I think he's about to be sacked. Gutted for him. Just a reminder Cortese... in football you only sack a manager when you have a better replacement ready to go. To be honest we couldn't do much worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 CB Fry has laid down the ground rules of the debate on this subject.

shurlock Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 There is no difference between the top half of the championship and the bottom half of the Premeir league. FACT Have you got Tourettes or something? I know the mongboard has said a lot of daft and priceless things in its time but I can't honestly remember anyone saying this. And if they did, it was hardly in the numbers to make it mongboard wisdom/legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they did, it was hardly in the numbers to make it mongboard wisdom/legend. Yes they did. A load of people said it after I questioned that stance towards the end of last season. Adriansfc was one. There were a high number of people. They used how well Swansea and Norwich did as justification for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the Norwich Swansea justification but that's totally different from a wholesale assertion that the quality of the NPC at the top is the same as the bottom half of the prem.

tajjuk Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 It all depends on November and December. We have home games against:- Swansea Newcastle Norwich Reading Sunderland As well as away games against WBA QPR Liverpool Fulham Stoke We should be winning those home games and should be able to get 6-9 points in those away games. Less than 20 pts from next 10 and I think he will be sacked, with the new manager coming in for the new year and the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't feel like justifying your opinions to me, then justify them to everyone else. Not a great deal of point, is there, coming onto a forum and when your opinions are challenged, just hurling abuse back. If you can't argue your corner, then what it shows is either that your opinions were groundless, or that you lack the mental capacity to defend them. Which is it?
