    Is there much sympathy on here for Adkins ? I personally think he has to go but also not sure that will solve the issues so do have a bit of sympathy for him. What's other peoples thoughts
    I always feel a bit of sympathy when a manager loses their job, it's not like he is trying to be shit! He has to go but for me it will be more of a relief/regret that it didn't work out than something to celebrate.

    With Jackson, Euell either or / both in charge I predict a dead cat bounce before we recommence the turgid awful stuff we've grown used to this season. Loved to be proved wrong. 

    I do feel sorry for Adkins. I think he was stitched up a bit close season, I mean there is no way CBT was on his 'shopping list' The coaching staff are equally culpable for the shit we've had to endure.

    Red Henry needs no mention. He knows he lives rent free on the ITK4LYFE list.

    Plenty written already. Although you'll have to read the whole thread, only 107 pages.

    We've had to. :wink:

    One of my questions would be who decided we should sign a load of wingers and no central midfielders until Arter signed on deadline day.

    If Adkins wanted most of the players he got then I have no sympathy.
    If he didn't want most of them, but said "yes" on the basis it was them or nothing, then I have some sympathy.

    Either way and taking into account some poor signings and very late signings we should still be at least half way up the table.

    I'm still confident our team/squad is better than many of the teams we've lost to - AFC Wimbledon (at home in the League Cup), Cheltenham, Lincoln, Accrington.

    Thomas obviously did not have a plan B for Adkins being so dire (unlike with Bowyer whom he probably didn’t like very much) Adkins is more a business management corporate sort of bloke who he probably likes very much. He says all the right things (key performance indicators et cetera that kind of thing) which is probably right up Thomas’s Street. As Atkins doesn’t really show his true feelings about events and always wants to be positive it probably is hard for Thomas to see the wood for the trees. For the club it’s as clear as day that this isn’t working but for the custodian  it simply isn’t. I wonder if he is taking any advice from the back room staff and has he spoken to Johnny Jackson for example who would surely be upset Charlton are in such a position

    I said a few weeks ago that it doesn't look like we do any research on our opponents (they clearly do on us though!)

    Pearce should have started against Acc.
    Wash should have come on sooner

    Maybe not playoffs, but I think any competent manager gets this team in the top half (comfortably)... not sure he deserves much sympathy

    Pretty sure he sets a formation and it's a lucky dip who plays each game

    Critic Vivian Mercier described Beckett’s theatrical masterpiece Waiting for Godot as a play where ‘nothing happens…twice’.
    Charlton are a cheap farce where nothing that should happen, happens after every game.

    It’s absolutely right that he’s let go. 

    But some of the stuff being put out on social media is out of order.
    He’s a decent human being, just not a very good football manager.
    People have such a blood lust. 
    What’s being put on social media?

    I don't need to check social media to well imagine the orgy of graphic abuse being hurled at Adkins right now

    People are just saying he is tactically astute, knows how to get the best out of players and is the right man for the job.

    Think he’s a genuinely nice bloke.  Just not the right person for the manager’s job at this point in time. 
    Agree with this. Don’t need to be so abusive

    Yes I agree, I’ve not enjoyed the we want Adkins out/ sacked in the morning chants, feels really uncomfortable with him. I do think he needs to go as the relationship with the fans is irreparable and to be quite blunt he’s not doing a good job. He’s a good fella and it’s no fun reading and hearing the abuse. It’s football, sadly it’s not working, so everyone should move on with our best wishes.let the next man have a go.

    If he was promised funds by TS who then reneged on the deal, giving him just Dobson, Clare, Stockley & MacGillivray then yes, I have some sympathy for him. However, the last 6 weeks has been a nightmare and only one game in that period (which we won) had no changes in the starting line up.....with almost 30 changes over the other 5 matches.
