Saints v Leeds Match Thread

Shame this...I know the League Cup isn't really rated by Prem teams, but with the teams left in it we could have had a crack this year.

 

shows the lack of depth we have in the squad . . .

 

Still time!

 

I really don't understand why Lallana, Lambert and Morgan aren't on the bench. We're not playing until Monday after this. We need a win tonight to boost confidence and Adkins doesn't give a **** about the league cup.

 

I am really annoyed at Adkins for picking this team. Like I said before we should of picked 8 or 9 players that are going to start on Monday. It doesn't matter that they only played 48 hours ago. They are all used to playing lots of football what they are not used to is not playing much football. Adkins your doing yourself no favours.

 

Interesting that even in this bodged together team it sounds like the same issues as the 1st team.

Reading 4-0 up now...headed for a cricket score that one.

 

well after today we wont have to worry about the cup

 

if we lose any of our first team players today. Everyone would question why he played them. You can look at this two ways

 

doesn't sound like many palyers will be givng Nigel a headache picking the team on Monday

 

Leeds deserve to be winning. Disappointing first half again playing a 4-3-3, it wont help morale compare this with Reading.If we dont get anything at The Hawthorns then tonight is a farce.

 

Commentators picking up on the same themes as well. Week until next game, and only kids on the bench, no-one that can change a game.

 

I disagree I would of rested lambert and lallana. But play the rest. Especially the back 5. I really don't get not picking them. Even if we turn this round and win 4-1 I still feel he's picked the wrong team in relation to the premier league.

 

We had a winning habit last year, this year we have a losing habit. Adkins has really ****ed up with his team selection tonight. We needed a win tonight and lets face it, it isn't going to happen.

 

The kids can make an impact, they hold no fear

Whether that will be the case, who knows

 

The radio says Adkins is under pressure and could be out on his ear in a month or so.

If you do that, please send him our way.

 

Half time. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 

In all seriousness does anyone really care about the Capital one Cup?, it will probably have changed names again by the time the final is played, bit of a joke of a competitioon.

 

Well we have been awful this half, hopefully another performance like 2nd half from Spurs game, not holding my breath though

 

Yes I care, and everyone who hasn't suddenly will should we get to Wembley

 

Exactly what I was going to say.
