scotty Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 He needs to be sacked (and has been) for a while because his gung ho entertain the fans systems are destroying the players. Only an idiot would align Lambert,Rodriguez,Lallana and Ramirez away from home. Just sack him soonest if you please Mr C and let us get on with becoming a real PL side and not a bunch of fancy nancies. We should be doing what West Ham are doing. Who cares if their fans boo them, theyt'll be in the PL next season and we won't if NA is allowed to carry on with his suicidal systems. I dont give a flying f*ck if their fans boo them, but I imagine their fans do. On that logic, what is the point of imagining that your opinion, my opinion, or anyone else's opinion on this forum or anywhere in the crowd counts for jack sh*t? Ought we to do a Stoke?

Ashby Saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 I'm backing Nige. Where have all those reasonable voices gone from the Summer? It was always going to be tough. We are building for the long term with our squad and the supporting facilities. If we go down it won't be the end of the world. Frankly I am amazed by the short term view that leads clubs only to offer stupid wages to mercenaries trading on one good season about ten years ago. So let's sign "experience" like Kieron Dyer ..... No thanks. To those idiots demanding a change - why don't you grow a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 The holier than thou crowd that would attempt to impugn anyone with a critical opinion do themselves no favours. I like Nigel, but have been extremely disappointed in the manner of our defeats and general disjointedness of the team. Last night looked like a "back to basics" approach to me. I can understand that with the amount of individual errors that the team have committed, such an approach might seem sensible; but even last night, players under no pressure were making bad passes. As many others have said, the confidence looks shot. I'm more optimistic than most. I'd hoped that we'd pull clear of the relegation zone and establish a top half finish by the end of the season. Those expectations might seem mental in hindsight; but a big part of that was an assumption that Nigel Adkins would be able to apply his methods in this league successfully. So far, what is the evidence that he has? Sorry chaps; Nigel's Premiership record is appalling. I acknowledge the fine job he has done with back-to-back promotions, but at the same time, it is so difficult to ignore our league position and lack of progress on all fronts. Can't win. Can't keep a clean sheet. You can blame individual errors all you want; but you could also argue that it's the job of the manager to weed that stuff out. As others have pointed out; we've shipped players because they were supposedly not up to Premiership level. At what stage is it ok to suggest that a change of management might be required? Ken Tone would prefer to get relegated with Adkins in charge. Does he get a full season in the Championship again? Great post pap. The general hand-wringing at dissenting voices often just misses the point entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 Maybe not the thread to say this but I think a massive part of our problem is that the key appointment of captain was made to the wrong (type of) player. Lallana simply isn't captain material, by which I mean he doesn't inspire the rest with his resolve and commitment, heart, if you like. This communicates to the rest of the squad. So they all play in his image. Tippy tappy, slightly cavalier. And ultimately that translates to poor results for the manager. Simplistic, I know, but another facet to NA's problems.

doddisalegend Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 I think we should show Nigel a bit of loyalty and support - we will turn the corner soon and i will be interested to hear what some of you are saying then! What about loyalty to Sharp, Hammond, Kelvin, Barney, Harding and the other players who helped get us promoted if players aren't considered "up to it" people are only to happy to get rid so what makes the Manager different? I like Nigel happy for him to be given a good shot at the PL but people seem very contrary with this loyalty bussiness.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born In The 80s Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 I simply do not believe that to be true. So many teams have done so much better than us with worse players. What do you suggest we do differently then? It's all very well stating that, but i really don't know what some people expect. Adkins can't go out there and defend for them. Thought Gary Neville was spot on last night - these are individual mistakes that the manager has zero control under. Our shape over the past few games has actually been pretty good. The players really need to start taking responsibility. As Neville said last night, these mistakes would have been made whatever division we are in. The only thing that could be done is to play 3 in the middle, which thankfully is now possible with Cork back. However, up until now, if we're honest we haven't really had the personnel. JWP is very young and lightweight to be thrown into games like last night and our other central midfielder, Dean Hammond, probably doesn't have the ability to play at this level.

Instill more confidence in the players, try a new approach that doesn't leave us so open (especially away from home.) Instil in the midfielders the importance of tracking back and defending from the front, even if it means we score less. Make us generally more difficult to beat. I want the manager to show a bit more passion which may translate to the players (they are really lacking some urgency and putting their bodies on the line as Neville suggests.) At the moment we are going down with a whimper and I want to see us fight for our place rather the slow buildup play that we see at the moment.

Are you seriously telling me that no manager could make us harder to beat? No manager could instil more fight in us? I would also like him to use his substitutions a lot more effectively and use Mayuka more. A new manager could easily do that as poor substitutions basically lost us the United game.

The main problem is that I think something has to change to turn this around. If Cortese won't get rid of Reed (and he won't be firing himself obviously) then changing the manager may be the impetus we need. I would rather we changed the manager than kept things exactly as they are as nothing is changing and in fact we are getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only solution i can see would be to play 3 in the middle and that is only really an option now. You don't want to totally nullify our attacking options as we are incapable of keeping a clean sheet at the minute. However, watch the goals we are conceding - they are from individual, defensive areas. Not problems with shape. Adkins (and pretty much everyone) has totally lost faith in the defence and for that reason it would be very risky sacrificing an attacking option (probably lambert) for an extra midfielder or defender, as let's face it, one of our back 4 is probably going to make an individual error that leads to a goal. The defence (most of who have proven in odd games that they can be adequate) have totally let their manager down. The passion thing is ridiculous. Did you see his interview last night?

But I'm not the manager am I. I actually did state a number of different approaches we could take. Passing the ball around a bit quicker and getting it forward quicker would be a start. Too many times this season we have passed it around the back and had a slow build up which gave the opposition the time to get organised and easily snuff out any threat. Defending from the front, not being so open away from home and playing so many attacking flair players away too. Making the midfielders track back more and defend to support the defenders is another approach. Using substitutions more effectively and not just the odd fifteen minutes or taking off some of our best players to allow the other teams to get back into it (ala United.) The only solution i can see would be to play 3 in the middle and that is only really an option now.

I want to see us putting our bodies on the line to win and I am not seeing that even a little bit. We seem resigned to a defeat. Nigel needs to change our approach to certain games if he wants more positive results. For me he has had enough time and has been found wanting so we need to get someone else in so we can try to stay in this league and the riches it brings.

At some point the club has to draw a line under Adkins abilities (or lack of) building a side able to do well in this League. Sentiment has no place in the game nowadays.

Has Nigel reached the glass ceiling of his ability? It's a possibility, but he is not the only one at fault and after seeing how he managed at Sc.unthorpe and learned through experience he would be worth the chance for me.

Cortese had been considering his options following Southampton's 2-0 loss against West Bromwich Albion on Monday but, after discussions on Tuesday afternoon, it was resolved that Adkins would remain manager and lead the club against Swansea City on Saturday. Monday’s 2-0 loss was Southampton’s eighth defeat in 10 Premier League games so far this season and the club are rooted to the bottom of the table. There was a feeling on Tuesday morning among some staff and even players that a change could be imminent. Adkins himself was also understood to have become uncertain about his future but he met Cortese and emerged with his job intact. Although the position is clearly delicate, the plan is for Adkins to be in charge for Saturday’s match. Adkins has acknowledged that he is favourite to be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season, but he took training at the club’s Marchwood training base on Tuesday morning and is continuing preparations for the Swansea game.

Arsene Wenger doesn't make his teams "difficult to beat". Nor does Brendon Rodgers. Sven. Pep. Holloway. Tony Mowbray. Adkins. Nicholl. Ball. Nice try at being a smartarse but being "difficult to beat" is not the same as "not losing". It's a style thing. Hypo's point was valid and your response was pointless, well done.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 (edited) I am a massive fan of Nigel and what he's achieved at this club,that said the club means more to me than any one man. The most important thing is the club, and what the club needs now is a few wins and a spirit of togetherness from fans and staff. If there's someone out there available and willing to work at the club ,then lets get him in. We are not at the stage where Nigel has lost the fans and he doesn't appear to have lost the dressing room. There's no point in NC putting Wilkins or someone on charge whilst he looks for a replacement and no point in replacing him with somebody unless they're good enough to turn us round from day one. Personally I think we should give nigel till Liverpool,whist putting feelers out. If Nigel turns it round,great,if not, new guy gets a month until window. That's unless Rafa or someone like him will come in now Edited 6 November, 2012 by Lord Duckhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
