Wilkins: Pards exit no excuse for bad results

Dean Wilkins refused to blame the sacking of Alan Pardew for Saints’ second miserable home defeat in the space of five days.
Pardew was axed after the team put in a scintillating display to demolish Bristol Rovers 4-0 away from home.
And since then the side have relinquished their grip on the JPT by crashing 3-0 to Swindon and suffered a horrendous 2-0 loss to Rochdale at St Mary’s.
The latest defeat was particularly galling for the club’s fans, coming as it does against one of the minnows of the division.
Saints look like a team affected by the departure of their manager, but caretaker boss Wilkins said: “I’m certainly not going to use it as an excuse.
“We are professional people, the players are professionals and they are paid to come in and do their best every day, which is what they do generally, so no.”

The idea of a caretaker manager is to keep things ticking over after the previous manager departs.
AP left after a 4-0 away win.Wilkins takes over and manages 2 home defeats. The blame must surely be on his shoulders.He is a former manager so SHOULD have been able to keep things going,if only for the sake of keeping his job when the new manager comes in

Hi Stopcox.. I have heard the stapleford rumour similar to the one at west ham in 2006..re Pards but whether he was considered out of poor in or out of work I'm for giving Wilkie a go while he caretakes. Laugh but Wilkie was on 34%wins at Brighton while Pards was 31% at Charlton ;o
Plenty of faith..still just 6 from top and a game in hand.. COYR
