Adkins - Pros and Cons

[LoyalRoyal22]

Get all the players back fit , add a couple in January. If no significant improvement after Jan, let Adkins go at end of season when his contract is up.

Doubt those still injured are due back that soon, maybe Ferdinand, but you can't pin your hopes on them all coming back soon.

Ah, give the guy a break. Didn't deserve to lose today, didn't deserve to lose to derby. We are improving. Every now and then a one-two works well or someone pulls off a decent dummy and gets through a crowd of players and we look half-decent.

I'm being won over by what (hopefully) Adkins is trying to do. Can't believe I was all for getting rid of him a few weeks ago. It's not like he's trying to make it boring and negative, just need to accept that times have changed. We aren't the same team that was regularly in the top 7/8, a few years ago.

We just need to get our off-the-ball movement sorted. Seems that whenever someone has the ball, everyone else just stands about, watching. Get that sorted and we'll be back where we usually are, play-off territory.

As I said on the other thread, if Dolan was in charge everyone would be upbeat about an unlucky defeat. As it stands, you can all GET FUCKED

The first third of my life has passed without reason to believe so, but go on, I'll bite: what's upsetting you about my post?

We deserved to lose against both Derby and Charlton because they took their chances and we did not. When a team scores more goals than you, you deserve to lose.

Would you not expect professional players at some point to have "a few one twos" that work?

Adkins has got to go.
It's very apparent that Reading FC and Nigel Adkins are not compatible, much like Rodgers wasn't with us.
Maybe NA might be able to do a decent job elsewhere, frankly i couldn't care less, i can't stand him and his politicians spin.
Lately he's been moaning about the play and players, yet he picks the team and chooses the tactics, so he should be moaning about himself.
Someone eluded to the 'frustrating times' under Coppell and McD. I personally don't remember them. They both had the full backing of the players and fans, something i feel NA doesn't have.
When we were loosing under SSC or McD i always felt we would get back into the game. Both managers were able to install belief into the players and the fight that goes with it.
Under NA, we're screwed if we don't score first. The players and fans heads drop, 'cos we know that's it. The other team will easily defend as we dick around with the ball on the half way line.

congratulations for starting the 10th thread on the same subject

Every team that has experienced a relegation within the last 2 years will have a significant percentage of supporters with ideas above their station.

Where those clubs are languishing in the bottom half and the manager has been in place for more than 3 months those supporters will be creating "Manager OUT!!!" threads on their club forums.

I want success and I want it NOW!!!

Do I get a special prize?
I thought that immediately after posting it, but it demonstrates just how frustrated everyone is with him.
When was todgers sacked? Around christmas right? Just before the FA cup game with liverpool when shlong scored after the cross from bryn??

Must we really go through this again? That's you putting your words in other people's mouth and assuming that's what they are thinking.

Sorry Rother I generally like most of your posts but you are using extremes to rationalise your point of view rather than the reality.....which is he's had the job 2 years almost & we get buttfcuked by every team we play bar the other few relegation candidates.

Do you actually watch the games? We are shit.....We are massively shit...We are hopeless.

We've gone from almost having yo-yo club status to fighting to stay in this division which frankly with the players we have is unacceptable.

Just to reiterate in case you don't fully understand - fans are switching off in their thousands. Worst attendance in a decade last week, 1 page match threads on HNA - this all suggests to me that a large proportion of fans are simply not enjoying it any more.

Lets see where we're at in a month shall we? I.e. when we've actually had to play some half decent teams. We'll be lucky to ave 1 ppg over the next 6 weeks or so & we probably find ourselves languishing around 19-21st but hey everything is rosy in the garden!

Adkins must be one of the unluckiest managers in the football league then!

Talking specifically about yesterday. The other losses have been shit.

He hasn't been to a game for years but thinks he knows it all. Ignore him.
