Divvy Good win % for a lot less games too.



What this really highlights was McD's "gung-ho" attitude, constantly going for the win. More wins, but a lot more defeats.

... not to mention a lot more draws...

Wait a minute.

Maguire

Maguire Can't wait for us to start dropping it onto Ricky Lambert's head on the back stick.

Oh hang on, we don't have Ricky Lambert.

Hope he's got a plan B :!:


Billy Sharp, Jay Rodriuguez :lol: :lol:


Jay Rodriguez :lol:


Joking aside, Sharp next season would be likely and not bad at all for that level.

Plus two league titles with the mighty Bangor City.

That Sky comparison.....some of Adkins wins were at a lower level than Brian managed Reading....just saying.

I am personally happy if it does turn out to be true, Adkins is the sensible choice.

Maybe a whoosh moment but the Man Utd of the south coast were in the third division two seasons ago under Adkins' management.

Did you not see Robson-Kanu's header for Wales the other day? He's definitely the new Ricky Lambert.

It's Nigel Adkins not Jose Mourinho. More a "oh good we have a manager" than a break out the bunting GTFI.

Could have been far worse, two consecutive promotions and seems like a decent chap.

It's the Reading way rolling on really :)

It's all a bit Meh from me.

Great we have a manager who is possibly 20% more tactically aware than the last one as long as he doesn't lose the extra 20% that the last one could drag out of the players.

Championship

Effort >>>>>>>>>> tactics

I suppose we've replaced Brian with someone as equally equipped as Brian.

Adkins woah, Adkins woah, he used to manage _ _ _ _ s but now he's got Noel Hunt.
