all our injuries are always our top 8 players , never the subs
started with our first ever million pound player , lasted 8 minutes
last season in prem center forward breaks leg at chelsea, , could have been Davies , but no , its not now and again its all the fecking time

Injured players are apparently always the difference makers we need. They said the same about Collins, now they want him dropped.

Self pity and cursing our luck has been as much a problem at this club as anything else the last few years. You've been listening to Kevin McCabe too much.
 

On the plus side:
24 points at this stage of the season after slow start
Preseason favourites
Unpopular predominantly white kit
Dean Hammond
Nigel Adkins

On the downside, they had, in hindsight, probably the best squad ever in this league (proven by the subsequent campaign in the Champoinship), including:
Kelvin Davis
Jose Fonte
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Adam Lallana
Rickie Lambert
Morgan Schneiderlin
Jason Puncheon

You've got your work cut out Mr Adkins, 'cos our lot wouldn't beat that lot with a 4 goal start.

With that wealth of talent he still failed to win the league.
There does seem to be a lot of negativity around your squad but I reckon you're good for the playoff lottery this season, wouldn't be surprised to see you in the auto's but you need to find consistency and quickly with a regular starting 11, Sharp and Sammon up top should give more than enough for most defences to think about.
Adkins is a solid manager but fear some on here seem quick to judge. If it's any consolation half of our mongs wanted Hughton out over the summer, how time can heal those wounds.

All teams get injuries, its the depth and scale of those injuries to key players
ie losing brayford while 1-0 up v swindon , lost our shape and our way
 
I don't know what it makes this year's!
same as that one
again how do you know saints werent as bad in those opening 16 , did you go
or guessing
results imply they were
Im sure when they lost 2-0 at home to Rochdale during their poor start their fans werent singing going up at the final whistle
or after the 1-0 home defeat to Plymouth

Do you think we would have won that second leg with Brayford? Your answer will determine all I need to know about your outlook.

No it wasn't the same. What a ridiculous comment.
 
we might have gone in with a lead
we were all at sea without his discipline
our chances would have increased greatly

Ok I think our debate is over. There is no reasoning with you. You'll excuse any failings of the club with any straw you can possibly clutch irrespective of how apparent the reality may be.

If it makes you happy, good for you mate.

why is there no reasoning , , Brayford was the lynch pin holding the wheels of our defence on
the wheels fell off without him
surely youcan see that, , it was left to MURPHY to stand out and even he failed miserably
why was that

Regrettably, there are none.
They had players who actually were talented ( rather than on paper ) and DID give a shit !! :rolleyes:
