TheBaldOneMmmMonsterMunchP!ssed Off How was it not obvious to Adkins during the Summer transfer window that Pearce is simply not up to passing it out from the back?
He had the chance to replace him already and did he?
How do you know he had the chance?
The funds were there he should have prioritised his signings, instead of signing Drenthe when we already have capable wingers and Williams who adds zero to the team

sandman Adkins is beginning to rival Guthrie in the excuses made on his behalf front.
He even said in his interview that he is responsible (fair play to him tbf) yet still we have the usual suspects defending him.

TheBaldOneMmmMonsterMunchTheBaldOne What I don't understand about people saying give him a chance to sign his own players, is that he has already had that chance!
He signed Bridge, Williams, Drenthe, and Baird and Sharp on loan.
This signings have not helped with the supposed "passing style" we are meant to be playing. We are not creating any chances! Adkins should have noted we don't have the creativity or the passers at the club to and should have prioritised such signings as needed by the club rather than signing Williams (who in my opinion doesnt add much to the team), Drenthe (when we are already full of young and experienced wingers who know the championship inside-out). Bridge immeditely was a good signing considering we didnt have a left back at the time but fitness issues should have come into consideration when signing him.
There clearly were funds considering the stature of the players brought in, I can only imagine that those four will easily be are four biggest earners bar Pogrebynak, hence in my opinion Adkins has already wasted an opportunity to bring in the correct players for the club, who is to say he won't do it again? Time for him to go and bring in Mackay, Zola, Parkinson or anyone without the talk Adkins spews and far more action than prevails under the current regime.
Mackay spent £50m at Cardiff. This post just shows you lap up a lot of the media spin sorry.
I dont give a f*** about Mackay, I'm interested in our football club. Adkins has already wasted a transfer window in my opinion and did NOT prioritise the right signings , i.e. players that can pass the ball! I'm not saying snap up Mackay, I'm saying most people seem to be taken in by Nigel's talk, which is most likely not going to materialise to good football and more importantly wins.
It's time for Adkins to go and talk up how good some other club "could" be in the future, and a real manager to come in here, who ideally will play good passing football but also know how to win ugly!

Harsh. Most players can be coached to play a different way, and the fans wanted Pearce to stay at the time. Also Adkins was let down when it came to bringing in the players he wanted, so he probably missed out on a few positions. I think it's very unfair to lay it at the managers feet considering everything that's been going on at the club since he came here. He must feel utterly stitched up!

Sir Dodger Royal Let's get the facts right. Drenthe was an Anton signing. No way would he have been selected by Smiler. Played for a Russian team and that says it all. Promised substantial funds by the owner. None of which materialised. The Madman basically sold to a Russian chancer despite all his bull shit about safe guarding Reading FC. Basically wanted out and his money back ASAP. His due diligence was non- existent.
Smiler stuck with a load of crap signed by McDonut, who failed miserably in the Premier League. Baird & Bridge out medium term injured. McDonut signed Kelly who can't get in the team and was meant to be better than existing players. Three right backs and no left backs supporting Bridge.
If you look at Saints then there are still a lot of Adkin signings still playing despite change of manager. One can only judge Smiler once he has built his own team, which seems unlikely with the pilfering skin flints running Reading FC. Where has all the money gone? That's the real question.
Real Facts Real World. SDR spot on as usual.
