How many tactical mistakes is Adkins allowed? (Part 2)

Embarrasing that after 2 years of winning, some fans were calling for NA to be sacked after 4,5 and 6 games prem games!

 

Pathetic rather than embarrasing

 

:lol: at them tonight

 

We beat the worst team in the League, I'd put your **** away if I were you.

 

I still maintain that if he had carried on with his strange selections and substitutions that he deserved/deserves to go. I am more than happy for him to continue to prove me wrong, and prove that he can change and become a good Premier League Manager.

2 years of success and you want him out after a few prem defeats...... Grow up

Theres not a lot of point replying to that one, I get the impression he thinks he is the new Deppo, popping up with humorous quips :facepalm:

 

I would imagine he is just fishing right now

Nigel's substitution to bring Davis on for Ramirez played a huge part in us being able to control the second half and clinch the win today. QPR came out with their tails up and we were getting overrun a bit in the middle. Big call taking Ramirez off and Nige got in absolutely spot on. Surprised more haven't commented on the way that substitution impacted the game.

The funniest thing is he has reverted to the way I think Saints need to play, reversed the strange decisions and substitutions, and yet you can't recognise that if we carried on with the way that we were playing that we were in serious trouble. Myopic beyond belief, but hey what do you expect from someone with the views that you have.

It was the completely correct decision, especially considering Ramirez had been playing internationally midweek.

Im not sure 1 win against what are terrible opposition is enough to completely convince me TBH lets take it one game at a time.

 

Corky has certainly helped and Nige is seemingly learning that he has to protect that defence so its a definate improvement

 

Don't disagree. I was just pointing out the oddity of some praising NA tonight and wanting more from him, having said he had been fired two weeks ago but was only still there because we have not yet found a replacement

I never said he had been sacked. I said as far as Cortese was concerned he was sacked, the decision had been made. I don't think I said that had been communicated to Nigel. I believe that this could well be the case, and it certainly wouldn't surprise me still.

 

What I find strange is that you seem to think that I can't support Nigel AND hold this opinion? I love the fact that Nige has seen the error of the first 10 games of the Season and is getting Saints to play in the way we should have from the start, that is all.

The fox substitution made sense yesterday, despite the forum deciding otherwise, we were pressuring qpr by playing through them but Fox gives us those killer deliveries in from deep which added variety and gave them something else to worry about.

 

The biggest thing for me yesterday was how confident we looked, gazza excluded, right from the off we looked the same, confident, side of the last two seasons.

For me his time is up.

 

Out of his depth

 

Should be game over.

 

Nicola, you need to make the decision to sack Adkins, and do it now.

 

there is nothing he can do about our defence, and how bad they are.

 

I would take Redknapp

 

I can't believe that Adkins is such a fanny

 

the buck has to stop with the Manager

 

:lol: what a drama queen - are you helen flanagan??? All this after a few prem games! How quick you forgot the last 2 years - pathetic support!!

 

On a positive note..... You clearly dont have Gelotophobia!!!

Hmmm DPS finds it strange that I think he can't support Nigel as well as insist he has already been fired (though not yet told). If this is support for Nigel, I wonder what being against him is like?

DPS aka helen flanagan is a well known forum drama queen....... Who starts dozens of threads labelled "nigel out" after a handful of prem games! 15 year old kid??? Think so

"Some people prefer to stay in denial. Their logic goes something like this: If you don't admit you've done anything wrong, then it's almost like not doing anything wrong at all. If there is no admission of fault, then there is no need to take responsibility"

 

Some people only see in black and white, unaware that there is a myriad of greys out there. If you don't have the mental capacity to understand that you can believe someone was going to be sacked, but still support and compliment them as Manager when they make the correct decisions, then I feel sorry for the people in your life, as you must be very hard work.

"Support and compliment". multiple posts calling for him to be sacked.

Those calling for Adkins to be sacked a few games back = premature idiots.

Those gloating that we've somehow 'turned it round' = premature idiots.

 

 

 

Correct. Plenty of "knee jerk reactions" on this forum this weekend. Everyone forgotten it's a marathon not a sprint?

Did you not see my posts above supporting and complimenting him? Of course you did with the way you've been following me around like a lapdog.

 

God it's like banging your head against a particularly stupid wall.

 

Also saw your multiple posts calling for him to be sacked. Which is it?

What do you mean which is it? As a Saints fan I can compliment our Manager for making the correct decisions, yet when he was making the incorrect decisions I called for his head? Why do you not understand this?

 

Sorry for the tough question. Do you want him to be sacked, or are you supporting and complimenting him?

It's not a tough question, it's a confused question.

 

As it looks as though Adkins is learning his early season lessons at last, then as a Saints fan I hope he continues to win and ultimately stays. However, if he reverts to his tactical and selection issues from the first 10 games then something will need to be done.

It's a straightforward question but I have seen your latest new thread this morning, so you now seem to have accepted your repeated calls for NA to be fired were best to be ignored.

How so DPS? Looking at some of your quotes above it seems you have much to be embarrassed about.

 

Maybe your attempted u-turn on your naysayers thread is a reflection of this?

 

It's not a u-turn, it's giving praise where deserved. If I criticise, then I also have to have the humility (look the word up, you should get some) to praise him as well for decisions he gets correct. Why are people struggling with the concept that you can constructively criticise and praise the same person?

Lunch hour is over now. Maybe if you developed an opinion of your own rather than doing a delldays and disagreeing with everything then you might get some respect.

 

At the moment your constant trolling is putting me off the forum. DPS has his own agenda which he has shared on the Amnesty thread, and I suggest you read that then learn to respect his opinion. I don't agree with everything he says but if you push and push and push him on it I can't see he will suddenly change to thinking you are right. Even if you are the way you approach it stinks of WUM.

So what's wrong with the OP then? Or my analysis on previous threads where I have explained why I think he should have been removed from his post? He had precided over one of the worst starts in Premier League History with the worst defence in Premier League History through over 25% of the season. Please tell me, reading that, where I was being unreasonable.

Exactly this. Me and Saint Charlie have been at loggerheads since the early Summer, but you know what, we get on with it, and if we disagree, we disagree, we don't go out and WUM people for the hell of it.

 

I have been wrong, I will be wrong again, but I have also been right, and will be right again. If people articulate their opinions well then I am more than happy to take them on board or debate them, but it seems that's not what you're trying to do.

Spot on. The likes of Dig Dig drain the forum of any effective debate with inane drivel, he said, she said. The sooner a rogue poster like this is banned the better, and throw away the key.

What about your OP?....a few sentences with fairly generic statements about "weird" substitutions.

 

I've never said Adkins has been perfect but always maintained that we should stick with him through the first difficult patch we've had with him at the helm.
