    Who do we think is the better manager and why?

    We have both acquired exceptional young managers in recent years. I obviously expect most of you to say Adkins, but I'm just interested to know your reasons.

    To be honest I don't think there is a lot of difference between the two...........If both were up for the job with Saints I think it would be decided on the toss of a coin. I really wouldn't be able to choose between them. I would just be pleased for either to manage Saints............

    Horses for courses. Nigel has made us play as a team. We have good players but not world beaters, but Nigel has made the team play greater than its parts. See how Pardew is doing well Newcastle, but I'm sure we wouldn't have done as well under him as we are doing under Adkins. Also importantly our manager has to get on well with Nicola Cortese who is an interesting character. He and Nige are singing from the same hymn sheet.

    Norwich fans will say Lambert, we will say Adkins. I don't think either is "better" than the other, we can both be pretty happy with what we have got.

    Both good managers in their own right. But I wouldn't swap our Nige for anyone.
