Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert thinks that reports of Southampton boss Nigel Adkins getting the chop are "ridiculous".

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has hit out at reports calling for the sacking of Southampton boss Nigel Adkins.

The Liverpool-born coach has come under pressure in the last few weeks as the Saints have yet to pick up a point in the Premier League since the season began on August 18.

"It's getting a bit silly now," said Lambert. "With what he's done for them, and when it's only four games into the season, I think it's a bit ridiculous."

Villa come up against the newly-promoted side tomorrow.
