howser I will be very much in the minority here, I thought that Rodgers was the "right man", we have all seen, given the tools, how well he has progressed since he got booted, wrongly in my opinion. Similarly Adkins has got a pretty impressive record, but, we are all aware that all things are not good behind the scenes at Reading, thats not rocket science to see that, so we don't know what limitations and restrictions that he is presently working under.
Clearly the present crop of players arnt good enough to play the way he wants, we all heard the summer boasts from Zingaravich and Adkins about the number of players we were looking to get in, ones that can adapt to Adkins style, and we have all seen what fruitless comments they turned out to be.
Of course as well as being compared to a likeness with Rodgers, the other problem that Adkins has is that he had the nerve to take over from McDermott, whose spirit hangs like a cancer over anything that Adkins does, with non stop comparisons from the "hobnob McDermott love children" when things don't go right.
Just maybe its the time now to accept that no one is going to get on their knees and beg forgivness from McDermott for sacking him after creating one of the worst sides seen in the premiership for many years,and plead with him to come and save our ailing club, he has gone, its done, now just get behind Adkins and give the team some support in what are proving to be very difficult times both on and off the pitch.
