AirRaidSiren Some people in general do not like confidence. Adkins isn't cock sure of himself, he is confident and has a positive attitude.

Some of our 'fans' can't handle it, tough titty.

I am surprised how many people like him, because he comes over to me as very irritating. But it does not matter to me whether i like him or not, so long as he manages us well. I am not that impressed with his management so far, but I cannot really complain about fifth place, and good luck to him. I certainly do not want another manager, especially at a time when we need some stability, what with the dodginess behind the scenes.

He's a smug tw*at, but he knows it, and I think he plays up to it a bit. There's a twinkle there that suggests he's in on the joke. It's all a bit tongue in cheek, which i find quite amusing.

I like Nigel he is an honest manager. Brian Mac was out of his depth and out of ideas and that really shone in the Premier League. I hope he does well at Leeds and believe he will get them back there... however I doubt he'd keep them there.

Nigel has 4 promotions and a wealth of experience. He might be a bit arrogant, but he has earned it

I can't stand his interviews. Don't give a toss about a summary of the match I have just watched that's what sky sports is for!! He always seems to do it

Nowadays, no. Why? My kids and my mortgage are far more important than filling your ego and football.

Although the kids have enjoyed going the times they have this season, thanks for your concern anyway.

I really have irritated you in the past, haven't I? You just can't let it go. Jolly good.

Nobody "earns" arrogance. You're either arrogant or you're not and perhaps it is because he is so reminiscent of Rodgers that I can't warm to him. But he needs to stick to working with the team he's able to field, work on defence, etc and not get involved in whether he thinks there were too few away fans at Sheffield.

Give him time. He's having to turn a team of long ballers into a passing team. will need another transfer window or two to get some better technical players in and get the long ballers out.

They're not a team of "long ballers" they were a team who played at a high tempo and mixed it up between short and long passing. Last season because they were struggling they were less keen to play shorter passes because teams who are struggling at the bottom always lack confidence to do that.

As a team we are still lacking in one important requirement that is needed by a "passing" team - MOVEMENT. Very rarely are any of our players in space, because when they don't have the ball they just don't move much. One exception to this is Guthrie.

= a team who try to pass, can't do it, put under pressure by oppositions have no option but to hoof it.

I agree that Adkins needs another 2 windows to bring in the right players and think he needs that time, however, will he have the promised funds and will he have the patience with Anton etc?

Great manager, happy to have him.

Just really dislike him and find him annoying.

More importantly, why should be trusted for another 2 windows after inheriting a squad 8 months ago and going into a 46 game league season with just 1 left back?

You're an idiot if you think that's the managers fault and not perhaps the person in control of the purse strings...

What are you saying, that money wasn't available?

Why did we sign up players like Drenthe & Williams on big wages (7 weeks missing and counting FWIW) in positions we already had players available in...?
