Least that's what I understood reading this forum. In Nigel you do not trust, but please don't make the assumption that anyone else much feels the same way as you do.

Viking Warrior Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 And still the merchants od doom spout their negativity . We are doomed I tell thee we are doomed. FFS get behind the team. instead of finding scapegoats after every game Im suprised supposed fans are not blaming adam for getting injured. Of course lydlinch . you are an expert at being a premiership football manager. I have seen lots of passion in the team this season. Its not only about the way we play but equally important being a manager are the tactics you use to stop the oppositions style of play and treats. somewhere in there we have to balance our strengths of the style of football we play against the oppositions tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to recruit to get up, and then somehow magic a load of that squad away to get better quality in to stay up. This needs doing without destroying the spirit of the squad. You have a credibility problem bringing in real quality, not to mention the relative financial constraint of coming off the back of years of lower league income, (yes I know we spent £30m). The new squad needs welding together very quickly. As a young manager you have to get used to a higher level yourself, competing against other managers that have effectively been hand picked from across the globe. If we can stay up it will be the exception, not the rule. It's a real shame that AL has got injured because I think up to that point we were starting to really come good.

Seriously though, what did you expect? An unbeaten run that propelled us to the Champion's League? If you did, sadly you are deluded - forget what the club said about pushing for Europe, that's all about building confidence, this season was all about building a Premiership squad (and surviving). Adkins made significant changes to the team this year after being promoted ahead of schedule. For the starting eleven this has effectively meant two changes to the back four (Shaw, Clyne, Yoshida) and two changes to midfield (from Punch, Gaston and Davis). That's pretty major surgery on what was a League 1 side promoted ahead of schedule, and, after a bedding in period, they seem to be playing well together. Are we the finished deal, no. Will we get there? It depends on the January sales and injuries (including Lallana's). Has Adkins done everything right, no. Could you have expected him to? No. He's learning like the players and has and will make mistakes. His mistakes so far: - Not signing a Keeper when he clearly wanted one. - Persisting with Fox when he had doubts (hence trying to sign a LB in the summer - fortunately Shaw has stepped up) - You can point to subs and tactics but generally his tactics have been pretty good (foiled by individual mistakes more than anything) I really don't think you can expect much more from this season than what has been achieved.

Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 Something I thought i'd just mention here. Yesterday on my TV view Adkins seemed to be taking advice from Wilkins a few times.

I think you would be mistaken if you thought none of it was his decision, our head scout has plenty of experience, I think its a case of perhaps aiming and failing to sign players possibly too good for our position. We signed Clyne, Ramirez and maybe even Yoshi who all perhaps could have gone to higher clubs due to age and potential etc We also looked at Butland, Biyik, Michu etc possibly aiming too high was our flaw.

Turkish Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 There are strong rumours that ive heard from a couple of different sources that Adkins had a deal agreed for Robert Huth in the summer and Cortese refused to rubber stamp it.

Im always hearing a few rumours, I know a few people associated with the club, sometimes I get info but I dont tend to release anything until it doesnt matter any more or only to trusted peeps. You can never 100% believe anythi g but the feelers were there apparantly. And as for Huth, no idea, could be true, I think NC is being quite strict with a wage structure built around a few top earners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, considering our mini-revival came to such an utter grinding halt in such mediocre manner against Sunderland following a break period, I do think we are floundering and he doesnt have the wherewithall to turn it around. How can you say this thread is OTT, and then come out with that comment? Sunderland was one of those days, but I think most fans appreciate that as a team and a club we have turned a massive corner since October. Personally based on our start we are better off than I thought we'd be, so I'm pleased with that. Now, if i was a Reading fan I'd have serious course for concern....but I think at the moment we're ticking along alright. We'll be down there until the final day, I'm sure, but we've shown the fight and the quality to make an impression on the teams down there. I'm not as nervous as I was a month or so back, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
