Nigel Adkins hails his Saints team after their 2-0 win over Alan Pardew's Newcastle

Nigel Adkins Nigel Adkins

Nigel Adkins hailed a complete performance from his team, as Saints moved out of the Premier League’s bottom three with a 2-0 win against Newcastle at St Mary’s.

Goals from Adam Lallana and Gaston Ramirez ensured a comfortable victory for the hosts, who were unlucky not to triumph by an even greater margin.

While Adkins was delighted with the verve the side displayed going forward, he was also thrilled with a first clean sheet of the campaign.

“It was good. We’ve got a 2-0 victory, a clean sheet, which is what we’ve been striving for, which was really pleasing for the whole team, especially the defenders, because they’ve worked ever so hard,” he said.

“There’s a stability in team selection at the back, which has obviously been of benefit. But we played against a top forward line in Newcastle today and we’ve marshalled them very, very well, so I’m delighted for the defenders.

“Paulo’s made a good save in goal. Jose and Maya at the centre of defence have done very well, and so has Clyney and Luke Shaw.

“It’s pleasing. We’ve got a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory, we could have scored some more. Their goalkeeper’s made some really good saves. Jay Rodriguez’s goal, having viewed it, looks as though it was onside, although the linesman’s flagged for offside, and there’s a shout for a penalty claim as well.

We ran out worthy winners, it could have been more. Our attacking play is champagne football, not since wgs reign has there been better IMO.
Corky just shaded m.o.t.m. For me but lallana, Ricky, gaston, clyne, or punch all in contention.
Only worry, we do give teams too much time on the ball. Newcastle looked very average possibly jaded from their European game but still had a few chances. But we should have been out of site any way!
Bill, I think your monies safe. The players are playing for Adkins and unless something drastic happens he should remain, it would be good for a young English manager to be given time and room to make mistakes and move forward, and we wil.
Did any one else see the mascot dancing?......... The evening started there!

Great to seeSaints getting back to back wins. the players are playing for each other and Nigel's job should not be questioned again....please Mr Echo start complimenting the guy, he has done an incredible job for Saints and things can only get better from here.
Glad they are having faith in Gazza probably a much better signing than Butland who has let in a lot of goals for Brum

An excellent result made all the pleasurable due to a clean sheet. Just 2 goals conceded in last three games. The defence must take heart from this and confidence enhanced. It is worth noting only 8 teams have scored more goals than the Saints. With the understanding developing rapidly throughout the team the goals will continue to be scored so there is only one way to go and that is UP.

A great win, stability, clean sheet, togetherness, all attributes that NA has contributed to today. We are showing that attractive attacking football is getting results. We are still given the rough end of the stick when it comes to penalty decisions and harsh offsides though. We had a legitimate goal and a def penalty ruled out by poor decisions, but you feel if that happened to a top four team then the decision might have been different. The view from below us now looks a bit better, lets make these next few home games count and start making our way up the table and put some more points between us and the bottom three.
Thank you for making my weekend end on a high!

A"fan" sat behind me was yelling obscenities about Gaston and saying he was useless because of a misplaced pass just before he scored.
A message to that "fan" give your season ticket to someone who will support the team. You moan every week about Saints players and I haven't heard you support us yet!
Totally dominated the game 3-0 , yes it was, the ref may as well have had a Newky shirt on!

The mascot did a fab Gangnam Style up on the big screen before kick off. Good stuff!

I agree with your m.o.m. ideas. And I would add gazzaniga, who was assured all night and pulled off n amazing save to keep it 2-0 with ten mins to go.

Good shout. Everyone keeps on about our poor defence but we have and will score goals against most clubs in this league. Confidence now seems high throughout the whole squad and we appear to be thriving on each game as it comes. Cork,Puncheon and Luke Shaw look like new signings that are starting to be consistent in each game. Nath Clyne and Ramirez are also getting better and better by the week. Adam and Rickie are starting to fire on all cylinders and the defence and Gazza in goal also seem to be oozing that swagger that we are accustomed to. The fans are absolutely loving it and poopey are still sh!t. We've picked up 7 points out of 9 and I feel another 3 points will be on their way on Wednesday after we beat Norwich.
All in all it's looking good and the Saints continue to march on with our superb manager and backroom staff all on the bus again.
COYR!...oh and poopey are still sh!t!! ha ha ha ha

Been in California since 31st october..went to see Saints play spurs before, the pieces are all there just wer'nt up to speed..now it is falling into place, mark my words unless something stupid goes down behind closed doors we are going places...
we could end up with everything the south needed yeatrs ago a big presence.....45.000 a week top 4...much is in place....what I am here to talk about is loyalty.. to the good old SF of C we have reports of blue fag subversives (Trebor)

we came up with a winning mentality and despite results nigel said we will not change the way we play .but just defend better,and we have done but it has notb taken away the way we attack teams .nigel adkins deserves credit for that.but all along since arriving as done loads for the team,he is going to be a top premier manager.later on next season othere premier clubs will want him .as they did paul lambert and brendan rogers after there 1st premier seasons ,mark my words

A very good result and truely deserved.I thought fonte today looked back to his best .
Sat in the Chapel today with my mate from Newcastle and he thought Fonte was M O T M. Myself i thought the whole back four were solid and assured. We have been playing much much better since CORK has returned. His play in front of the back four has taken some of the preasure off of them and allows Morgan to get foward.
Three home games out of the next four gives us a golden chance to enhance our position in the league table. The bus is moving in the right direction , being driven by a qualified driver that, in my opion will get us to our destination safe and sound.
I'm a HAPPY CLAPPER and in Nigel i trust.

Just sublime football, so many great moments and I could agree with anyone who put forward any of about 4 or 5 players for MOTM, agree with ghk230473 suggestions, so just shows how well the WHOLE team played today...

Newcatle were niot at their best, but you still have to beat what is in front of you. It was not that we beat them, but how we beat them. Like QPR We completely rolled them over!

Was wondering if the p*ss poor weather would benefit the northerns as I thought they might just be used to it, but we had our best spells and scored both goals in the driving rain!!

Gazzaniga had a great game with superb saves and great distribution and he was even kind enough to give a balooned clearance for the pundits to shake their heads over before he deftly caught it.

Ramirez was my man of the match. He was all ovet the pitch and he was absolutely amazing!!!

Much more like it. I really enjoyed today and in the short term can stop moaning like a kunt. I said on an earlier thread Ramirez would have a good game so it was nice to be right. Now let's beat Norwich and try and get to the New Year above the relegation places and get another defender and maybe a winger on board. Gazza made some great saves and I hope this improves his confidence because he plays with a lot of nerves sometimes. Good result.

We could get a result against Liverpool because Rodgers is more concerned about the look than the result.
Norwich will not be an easy game, they know how to fight and will scrap for every ball. I think that will be a hell of a game and the more difficult of the two.

Great display.
Probably the best since we were taking teams apart this time last year.
What a follow up from QPR.
Jack Cork was enormous,he picked up loose ball from the defence turned defence into attack.
He was our best player closely followed by the rest.
Gaston is a marvel.
What a fantastic save by Gazza.
I was directly behide he looked completely beaten .
How did he stop it, Idont know!
The best stop I have seen in absolutey years.
Pace,energy,commitme
nt,desire.
We saw this from them all today.
What a way to go into next week and Norwich to come.
Can't wait.

I was concerned when subs were made, ricky picked up an injury, jayrod replaced him and scored even though judged to be off side!
Steven Davis put in a good shift replacing gaston.

Newcastle did have their chances, but that gave gazza a chance to shine.

We still need to mark up and close down quicker. Norwich will be a tougher test but winnable.
I think we will get something out of Liverpool too!

Three home games out of the next four gives us a golden chance to enhance our position in the league table. The bus is moving in the right direction , being driven by a qualified driver that, in my opion will get us to our destination safe and sound.

well done st NA you stuck to your guns and despite heavy media pressure, backed by the bookies, you have shown that the way saints play football is the right way! today we outplayed out thought and outfought a good newcastle team, and the officials. the majority of saints fans new you could turn the poor start around and you have repayed that faith. its a shame that some jcls couldnt see past the tough start we had. well all of you who called for his head should be thinking of apologising if we keep this form going.
i cant see any reason why we cant beat norwich on wed and then give the scouse a tough game next sat. only concern is RLs injury, he will be desperate to play next sat, so might not want to be risked on wed.

COYRS
if my team had lost 7 in a row and then only managed a draw with a last min goal, and had no players, no money, no decent ground, no manager and on the 14th no club the last thing i would do is go on my local rivals site, especially when they are in the prem and have just won 2 in a row, and pretend to be a fan of them to try to wind up their fans, its just a bit sad isnt it! ssssssshhhhhhhh

I have not posted on here since before the season began, though I have read the bloggs a couple of times a week.
Its gone pretty much as expected. We have been unlucky in several games, the two Manx games, Swansea and Fulham should have given us more points than they did. Coming to the prem with only one recognized prem player and a manager with no prem experience and half the team new players, was always going to mean a slow start. Its been a tough baptism yet the side is growing together and we have an astute manager whose prem experience is growing with every game.
The fans backing for both has been fantastic.Keep the faith we will be okay.
Great win today.
As for those that come on here from down the road and talk of passionate fans. You are so passionate your gates are 50% of ours when we were in the same division.

Well, Slugger, it was a delight to meet the three of you. Slugger, Seed and Baddesley Bill managed to buy me enough beer for me to get foolishly drunk and for my 11-yo son to thrash me at pool. With that plus the football I'm confused but happy. I'm surprised to find I can still type.

10:29pm Sun 25 Nov 12

Newcastle came out very strong and a few games back we may well have conceded early on. Defending much better now, especially in front of the back four where Cork and Morgan look terrific. Fonte has slowly but surely got to the pace of the Premiership - was probably MOM today - and Shaw continues to look the part. Don’t think he made a mistake today and looks calm beyond his years. But it’s far too early to say if that back four is good enough yet.

Terrific, classy football going forward today, as has been the case in most games. The difference now is we are not leaving our full backs exposed.

MOTD might prove me wrong but I thought the officials were really poor today. If the Ramirez penalty wasn’t a trip he should have been booked.

Agree. Lets hope Adkins repays the loyalty when the time comes.

The only side he should be tempted by is his beloved Liverpool. But even then he should think hard; the ownership structure there is unfriendly to managers.

That's 3 matches in a row the officials have denied us definite pens and denied us the sight of SLR busting the back of the net. As for the Jay Rod goal, he was at least a yard on-side when the ball was played and the lino was in-line with play. Who was it that said when we got promoted that the quality of officials would be better?? Only for the big boys. Norwich will be tough, they will be looking to hold us out and snek one - just like Wigan....... but if we keep playing football like in the last two games they will need to sneaka lot more han one! I have a sneaking feeling on Saturday night that a lot more people will be sitting up and taking notice. COYR

Good luck to any genuine fan of Portsmouth who has the cohounas to stand up on this site and be positive. You remind me of people I used to work with in Pompey in the nineties. People like you go to home games on weeknights to keep the faith even if the expected turnout is poor. Good luck to you and your club.

Meanwhile Thank you Saints. Perfect day I think.

What makes things sweeter is we have a young team who can only get better in the coming Days,weeks, even years. Most prem teams will struggle in the future cause they spend most of there time buying players and not developing players like we do. We look like a a team going places, yet most of the team have been with us since League 1. The only thing needed is Hard work, Desire and Passion for your Team. And God are we playing with passion!!!

Saints..... Youngest team in the premier league again this week and wow, how these players are finding their feet.

Credit to Nicola Cortese who unlike some chairman sack their manager at the first drop in form kept with Nigel.

We are playing some breathtaking football abd it is nice to hear the pundits on tv say the same.

My voice is barely working tonight, the constant singing and shouting throughout the game has killed my voice box. But it's worth it, there is nothing better than the atmosphere at St Mary's when both the team and the fans are on form. Again, the pundits are also praising the vocal support of saints fans, even when we were not winning games. I would mention our blue few and their so called bestest fans ever (tm), but to be honest I can't be bothered, as they are far too insignificant now. As the commentator said on sky's football first, "today was all about southampton, a complete performance, no team will fancy playing them at the moment", he is so right.

Well done Saints, every player was superb today and Nigel, you are a Saint I hope for many many years to come.

Just watched us on motd and now watching on football first, fonte should never have been booked, j-rod was not offside and Newcastle were very lucky. It's been great to hear all the pundits praising us for a change shearer even said that if the score had been 6-0 then Newcastle couldn't have complained.
It's so good being a saints fan right now. Every report I've seen has had a different player as motm, which just shows how good the whole team were.

I'm really confused. Tebourba says he's never wrong and yet he was wrong! He said he had a superior knowledge of football and that we would lose by at least 2 goals to QPR, but that was wrong. Then , he said we were going to lose to Newcastle but he was wrong again! Do you think he may be wrong about Cortese too ???

I should imagine that he's completely wrong. Please have some sympathy for him, though. His hatred for NC has already made him very bitter and twisted, and unless he gets some professional help, it will destroy him.

Norwich will be hard, but the fans will help us over the 90 minutes+, we can win it.

Thanks for the compliment, however I have to differ.

We found our feet last year on our way up. what alot of people forget is that Saints start to the season has been really tough - we've played ALL of the top sides before the end of november.
Only now are we coming up against the teams we could reasonably expect to be beating.
And don't forget to look at the manner of our defeat. We've taken alot of the top sides right to the end of the game before they got the winner.
Of course, Arsenal was justone of those horrible matches that come along once in a while where it just doesn't work out. You forget those and move on.

Great result - it's all been said well. I was pleased to see Gazza overcome the jitters the crowd was giving every time he was on the end of a back pass in the first half.
Moving on to Wednesday let's give Clattenburg a fantastic St Mary's welcome after his rough time at the end of teh Chelsea big-heads.

I think we need to have a truth and reconciliation commission to help those fans who doubted Adkins and Cortese at the start of the season. We need to be honest and open about any doubts we may have had so that we can all move forward, together as one, into this incredible future those two men have mapped out.

I'll start: I confess to taking my betting slip that had us to win the title at 3,000-1 down from its position on the front of the fridge and putting it discreetly in a drawer. I was weak and I was foolish and I thought, for just a minute, that we might have been out of the title race. Rest assured, it's now back on display. I hope the club forgive me.

He's a credit to the shirt. He's clearly been busting a gut in training and I don't think anyone gives more on the pitch than he does.

I know we are meant to shhhhh but please mate your rubbish is now pathetic

Last two weeks I have seen the games with a QPR fan in their end and yesterday at St Mary's with a Newcastle fan sat in our end, no issues just sensible football debate both times. Both times they came away saying we were the better team which we were.

The guy further up the Board (Mark someone) who is a Pompey fan is welcome here if he is going to debate properly and enjoy banter, you don't post banter, just inane drivel.

It is sad and I woud be saying this if we were bottom of L2 a place you are very likely to be this time next year IF you survive. for the likes of Mark and his ilk I hope you do, for the likes of you and your ilk I hope you don't

Accept that your sad little life is so pathetic this is all you have, I actually feel sorry for you

well thank you. normally at the moment being a poopey fan you would just get ssssssshhhhhhhhhh as a reply from most. however, as i said earlier, anyone who want to debate football is ok in my book! it must take alot for you to say that, and again for that, thank you. we have had faith in our manager through a tough start despite playing good football, what was shown on motd was just a glimpse of the teams preformance today! carry on watching because we are playing some of the best attacking football in the league.
There is a lot of rubbish posted from Pompey fans on here and saints fans on our site but credit where credit is due, the banter is good between most but some comments from both sets of fans our pathetic
fair comment thanks for the positives their are many blues fans who cause sh1t. positive football comments are always welcome.

If anyone is deluded into thinking kent141 is in anyway connected to the Blue Phew, you are wrong, it is an attention seeking nobody, that thrives on anyone that responds to any of its wind ups, the only way to get back at it, is to totally ignor anything that is posted by it, by all means report it if you feel that the posts are in anyway false, abusive or malicious, those are the site rules.

Even though Saints won--- the happy clappers are here criticising the officials.
