Article: West Ham v Saints match thread Football Southampton

The learning curve definitely needs to be a hell of a lot steeper.

 

Gomarching what would you do then!? It's Oct you can't buy! Who would you pick in what formation? You ask lots of questions but don't contribute any ideas!

 

Surely it has not come to this ?

Most times players fell to the floor

West Ham 19

Southampton 12

We are awesome , physcobabble

Points from the match

He can't or won't answer that. I've repeatable asked him and he ignores it. Most recently is my thread titled "what would you do"

 

Yes just saw that FLT! Must stop letting him irritate me. Difficult though!

 

It was nil nil at half time so not as bad as you are saying. If it was bad tactics we'd have been battered in the first half.

Non football playing arm chair fans... Go on then name your playing credentials and I'll make mine! I fanc my chanes with this one.

 

No you can not buy , I have always argued to why we did not buy and why there has not been any reasons to why ?
I would also be far more honest with the players on camera saying we have been crap , the fans can see it and Adkins being all light and fluffy only rubs salt into the wounds , our defence is **** , it wil be be **** in 2 months , if its not changed it will be **** in 2 years , these are facts not hyperbole .

Now why did we not sign better players when we had the opportunity to in the summer ?
That question will not go away and will only get louder the more we lose , it just so happens I have been saying it for months and have been slated for it .
Transparency , thats what we were promised and its worse than ever , Cortese does not speak to the media and Adkins comes out with utter ****e no one can understand , this is a classic case of a pc World where no one is wrong and everyone has a great game , bollocks absolute bollocks , I know for sure I would be questioned in my job if my results were like Adkins and its only fair we question him , dont you agree ?


In short , that bollocks of a transfer window has to be explained .

 

The frustrating this is, that some if what he tries to get across us valid and good comment.

 

Even if it was explained it's sodding history! Move on and answer the question. What would you do now!

 

Average player , played in a few places , Sat Leagues down South , played when I lived abroad for a few sides , trained with Napier in New Zealand and kept a good standard there , again an average player .

Just because it was 0-0 at half time does not justify the tactics and selection , what a stupid reason for justifying it , anti football that failed , surely a footballer like yourself can see that ?

 

That last gomarchingin post still doesn't say what he would do.

It says the same things he has said for 2 months and we have all given answers too but he refuses to respond or acknowledge those.

It tells me that Adkins IS a leader and gomarchingin only understands the draconian aggressive management style.

It tells me that he doesn't understand the modern "psychobabble" that Nigel uses.

It tells me his real problem is that he frustrated because he wants a Dave Whelan style chairman not a quiet one who keeps things in house.

In short, he is just moaning because he wants to be apart of the game but isn't. I bet he had a chance as a kid to be a player but wasn't good enough. I can sense the anger in him now.

 

Well after the truths session I would immediately tell all the players they are playing for their Southampton futures as the performances have not been good enough (you have to be fair and say all when I mean the defence) , how we can justify Chaplow , Guly , Fonte , Hooiveld , Fox etc etc ?

 

Well that's it then! That will solve the problem straightaway

 

Still going to ask you again and believe me I'm going to pester te arse off you until you answer the damn question: what would you do?


As for 0-0 at half time, it does tell me that the tactics for the first half didn't fail. How do you know what he said at half time? Maybe that was wrong. Maybe he tweaked things. Up until halftime it seems the tactics were working. You won't accept anything other than your opinion being right if it gives you the chance to get your drum out and beat it.

 

You are right I was not good enough , I am not bitter about that at all dont be silly , you are correct I prefer truth to bollocks , you are also correct I prefer a Dave Whelan type person over Cortese as Whelan likes football and Cortese is a sporting banker .

Christ are you still pissed ? I think most would , the best managers have all been hard , Ferguson , Mourinho , Dalglish the list could go on and on from previous eras , you are probably asleep or looking up where Napier is

 

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

How the hell do you know he doesn't do that? You don't.

Lets face it gomarchingin you are one of life's moaners and are only happy in misery. You like to criticise and moan and throw blame around.

 

No , what I except is it was 0-0 and we came to play anti football , an oxymoron I know but true , you can not play 4-6-0 and I dont care what you say thats exactly what it was , I dont believe a football manager would do that so I fancy Cortese wanted it as he wanted some form of result .
Adkins looked like a little boy lost in the interview , I thought he was going to cry , he needs to man the **** up and tell the interviwer what he did and why he did it , also to us would help because I can not fathom out his substitutions either .

 

I was asked a question and answered it , I like to question , I have said this since well the summer , I have not been poroved wrong have I ?
Your footballing prowess did not see that but mine did

 

And there it is... Running out of sensible debate, so you throw your toys.

Nice.

You have confirmed a point though. You don't like Cortese because he is not your style of chairman. That is a little daft I think. I believe a lot of your moaning is because we haven't got the type of people at the club you can relate to or understand.

 

Hang on a minute. You were asked what you would do with the team, selections and tactics.

Are you telling me that you would change nothing just give tem a gung ho rallying call? Inspirational stuff.
