Got my comment on BBC Sport again... See 19:04pm. "Ben Palmer from Southampton" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21132250 Prediction for tonight 1-1. Hope for a positive reaction from the players at least. Fingers Crossed.
Yeah, Rodriguez vs. Guly was really the sole positional decision. Bit surprised that Forren isn't on the bench as well, given that we have no other CBs at the moment.
All Pochettino needs to do is end his interview with "Oh yes. One more thing. **** off Portsmouth" Fans won round. #saintsfc Made me laugh on twitter
Haha. Always good to show off when you hit fame Mainly trying to get out my nervous energy before the game! Got to get it out somehow
Gary Neville provided good analysis of Espanyol style with full backs pushing forward and keeping a high line. Didn't say but suggests that we don't have the quality to do that at moment. Luckily Poch says it's too soon to change and he will stick with what we've been doing under Adkins. After this will be good for them to get away to Malta and bond a bit with new management team.
On the mobile so apologies if this has already been posted but no mention of Adkins in the programme at all according to Sky. That's weak as pish isn't it?
No CB on the bench is a little risky. If we have to bring Fox on to play CB, or move Cork there then I will be very worried!
Too soon to get in team and presumably not very fit. Poch also said on Saturday that Forren was one for the future (?).
Forren hasn't played since the end of the Norwegian season in November, so not surprising he isn't playing. I'm sure the team will be working on him for the Man U game though! Hopefully Lallana might e back for that too.
I made my opinions clear on the cortese thread and I'm sure none of you care anyway but this is the last I'll say on the matter. Apparently not a mention of Adkins in the programme now somebody tell me thats not disgraceful. Would a note saying 'Thank you very much for all the hard work and achievement of Nigel Adkins over the last few years' be soo hard? Why can't Cortese just try and get the fans on board?
One of the saddest things about this whole episode IMHO is that nowhere have they said THANK YOU NIGEL .
It says the exact same thing as already said, Adkins was sacked to go to the next level,so my bro says I never buy one. Anyways I'm go to my seat now cya.
Not surprising that they haven't thrown him into the starting lineup, but I expected him on the bench given that we've sent Seaborne out.
Out of order. It wouldn't be showing weakness to thank Nigel for his hard work and our promotions. It's almost as if not doing as well as Cortese wanted means that the last two seasons are deleted from our memory.
