Southampton boss Nigel Adkins admits he's unsure of his future after their thrashing by West Ham United.

The result means Southampton have now conceded 24 goals in just eight matches back in the Premier League.

Asked how long he thinks he will have to turn things around, the Saints manager said: "Honest answer? I don't know. That is football, I am being brutally honest with you. There is a vision at the football club to play a certain brand of football by passing the ball.

"There needs to be stability at any football club, which is important. But I am not naive as it's football and football is a results-driven industry.

"We've got a process in place that we're doing our best to adhere to, but you've got to win games of football.

"You've got to keep it out at one end and stick it in at the other end.

"On too many occasions this year in the Barclays Premier League, we've not kept it out of our net and I am being up front and honest with you."
