Adkins is always as positive and enthusiastic as that isn't he? He'd expect a great game of football if it was Stoke V Watford with Mike Jones in charge
I don't want to reignite this debate but in your game against Brighton didn't they get a man sent off in the first half for dissent?
I might be wrong, but if true that would certainly affect the rest of the game and must be partly why you beat them 3-0, especially as the dissent incident also involved you getting a dodgy penalty (I think).
Indeed. Adkins is the most positive and enthusiastic person you are ever likely to come across. So refreshing.
As for Tarricco, he did get sent-off for dissent, but it was in the 2nd half. We were already 1-0 up, and already had the penalty ready for 2-0.

Fair enough, I thought it was early on but not sure what I was basing that on.
I seem to remember the ref had lost control of that game completely and he was just guessing whether to give a penalty or not by the end![]()
You don't become the highest scorers, with a goal difference of +21 from 18 games, through luck. GD is a good indicator of how dominant a team has been.

As others have stated we were already one up at the time and Brighton were not any threat but even if that was a bit of luck it doesn't make us lucky to be top,that was only one game!
I never said it did, I was just offering a suggestion as to what Tickler was referring to. Seems we'll never know :/
well lets see what happens then shall we. ive made my prediction for the game as 2-1 hull city. may the best team win.

As I accidentally finished the last of a whole bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape last night having already had a couple of glasses of Shiraz with my Ruby Murray I had a vision, Southampton 0 Hull City 6. But I also woke up this morning still fully dressed wondering where the hell I was.
2-0 Saints....Hull fans I see Paul McKenna is suspended for tonights game....is he a big loss for you????

It depends on how we shape up, we now have quite a few players out(Garcia, Ofofinjana, Pusic, Waghorn), so Barmby is a bit limited as to how to switch things around. We expect McKenna will be replaced by a striker and we'll switch from a 4-2-3-1 to a classic 4-4-2, that's probably the most sensible approach with the bodies available.
