Matthew Le Tissier Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 As everyone says, no manager can save our defence really, NA cost us 2 or 3 games taking off lambo etc but most games have been defence mistakes, only suggestion is hire Gary Neville for a week to work on our defence, stick with him, his best bet is to bring back Sharp for extra fire power in jan and bring in a LB and if poss a pacey CB, then were be fine. People may laugh but its a no brainer that we need a Defensive coach . A quality experienced defender that can get our shower of **** half organised. Someone like mark wright or Gareth Southgate could do a job to help us. It's not always about the manager, he needs a good team around him.

S-Clarke Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 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. I refuse to accept that under every available manager we would have conceded the joint most amount of goals in the history of the Premier league. We are better than that. Southampton deserves better. I think we'd be a little insulting to his intelligence to assume he's not trying that. Last night we weren't particularly open in my eyes, it was a kind of back to basics 4-4-2 display (or 4-2-4 when attacking). Decent shape about us throghout the team, but what can Adkins do when the CB decides to turn his back and flick a little foot at the ball? I don't think you can coach that, that comes natural as anticipation. Yoshida should have come towards the player and really stopped him from shooting. That goes down as an individual error for me, again. 2nd goal, Fox gets done on the wrong side. Great pace by Odimwinge, but Fox was on the wrong side. Again, I don't think you can coach that. It's just mistakes made by players who just don't seem capable up against half decent forwards. Yoshida is actually starting to worry me, as he looks pretty rubbish.

S-Clarke Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 adkins is staying press statement tomorrow, vote of confidence. Interesting, but you can't say we're not giving in a fair crack at this. He deserves it too, and personally I'd prefer to have him as manager during these next few weeks as opposed to a care-taker and then a new guy. Back to basics, get the points, reassess in December.

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 Yoshida doesn't look good enough that's for sure. I would take Jos all day long. He's just a little low on confidence at the moment that's all. Jos is a good centre half. Yoshida just has that look about him that nothing Comes natural and everything's an effort. That was proven when he dangled his leg out like he was doing gangman style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't close down anything all night. It was still a pretty ****ty attempt at a block by Yoshida though. I hate it when defenders just fling their leg a little at a shot, without any conviction what so ever, and then looked stunned in that it's lead to a deflected goal.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 It's funny how Yoshida is getting the blame for the first goal when clearly Morgan bottled it, didn't sprint out to close down the shot and ponced about like a big fairy turning his back. I guess he's exempt from criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 To be fair on him he stuck his leg out and that was instinct. Sometimes it just happens as he's only human after all. The player shouldn't even been allowed to get a shot on in the first place. In a ideal world yoshods should have left it for gazza However he didn't know where gazza was and if gazza was no where need it and he didn't stick his leg out to stop it people would be slating him for not trying to stop it. However I don't think he's all that based on all his performances to date. Not including his poor full back matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were right behind it. Nothing to do with conviction - the ball came in a flash and Yoshida reacted instinctively. There was no way he was controlling that.

Wes Tender Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 Well, it's over 24 hours since our ignominious defeat against WBA and nothing has happened yet. Adkins' replacement must be travelling one heck of a distance not to have arrived here yet. Or could the rumours be just that; rumours, Chinese whispers with no foundation? It wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 6 November, 2012 Share Posted 6 November, 2012 Forget Dalek's yo-yo theory. It's time to introduce our new ro-ro manager approach. Nothings too far out-of-the-box for our wacky, free-thinking, Southampton Way. Local press? Who needs them? Pay to park to shop in the club shop? Brian Potter at his best. Play four forwards away from home? We'll **** this League. Bigger than Everton? U better believe it bro. No need for costly and messy pay-off compensation, just relegate NA to water carrier, pitch-forker, and programme seller for the next 6 months. Bring in a name manager (cough! 'arry) to re-arrange the deckchairs, continue to under-achieve in the eyes of the fans and gently watch us subside back into the second division (that's the Championship for younger viewers). Hey presto! We start life in the second division with the more suitable and completely refreshed and wiser manager and Mr Bigbucks buggers off with more of our money and more Stains (that's an anagram) on his CV. What's not to like? The ruin of HR and the rebirth of NA, and lots more Saturday 3pm kick-offs ... forget the yo-yo strategy and get behind the ro-ro approach ....

MAY-Z Posted 7 November, 2012 Share Posted 7 November, 2012 I have a question - what are the likes of terry venables, Howard wilkinson, Glenn hoddle etc doing now? We should look at hiring an ex- premiership manager who no longer wants a manager role to be a senior assistant to Adkins, if we want Adkins to stay. Someone who can give a bit of a fresh approach to both Adkins and the team In the AFL this coaching set up has been well implemented in the last couple of seasons with ex senior coaches taking on this role with first time senior coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear we have a strategy to play football the right way so we can't just ditch Adkins and hire any old manager. It would have to be a manager who understands this approach - like Pep! But actually, we would be better keeping Adkins and having someone he can genuinely talk to and learn from. It's no surprise the best managers in the world worked for the best managers in the world.

St_Tel49 Posted 7 November, 2012 Share Posted 7 November, 2012 Agree. However, if we keep getting dicked then players confidence in the manager will be smashed to bits and will linger on next season. Yes - but the reason they are getting dicked is because the PLAYERS weren't doing their job. That was made more than clear in the post match analysis. Time to stop getting on Adkins back and perhaps put the blame where it really lies (but not during game!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
