Glasgow_Saint Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 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 at them tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 17 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 17 November, 2012 You want more from Nigel, really? But in your opinion he was effectively fired 2 weeks back and is working his notice already, until we finally finally conclude our search for a replacement. I'm really flattered to have a stalker!!

Pathetic rather than embarrasing 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.

Born In The 80s Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 17 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 17 November, 2012 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.

(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 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.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 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 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
