  • The man is so out of his depth it’s laughable.

    Does he have any previous experience in football?

    So to back up the point I made about him being the problem.

    The opposition manager today said “wow, they’ve got some team” today.  

    Lose Tuesday it has to be time.
  • I suspect TS has a date in mind when by he will expect to have seen a vast improvement in performance and results. Seems logical to me that the end of November seems right. 
    IMHO the end of November would be too late. To have any chance of saving the season he’s got to sack him now. 
  • He's not Karel Fraeye in disguise is he?

    I actually agree but I don’t see TS taking action very quickly. TS was sure Adkins was the right man in the summer and I think he’ll back his judgment until he’s got no choice. I think this season is already dead.
  • Isn't there a break after Tuesday? A bad night against Bolton could be crucial for NA.

    I hope so. Adkins needs to turn it round quickly. If players are not match fit, we have a Papa Johns match that could help towards that on Tuesday. He can't make 5 changes every league game.
    I think you will find that he can, and likely will,

    Adkins Out? Not yet but not long, one game?

  • Failed at Reading
    Failed at Sheff U
    Failed at Hull. 

    Doesn’t know what his best team is at CAFC. 
    Need him gone. 
    We will lose the next 2 anyway, so we might as well bite the bullet now and make a change.

    Put this on the post match thread but more relevant here….

    I’m prepared to give Adkins a bit of time. The last two games have been more positive, especially today. I don’t think we should underestimate the effect on players who aren’t 100% match fit. I’m prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least for a few more games.  
    I think that’s why he’s been chopping and changing. But he will get a settled team. For example Clare looked a good player today but when he first came in he didn’t. Fitness plays a big part in professional sports. 
    I know the big part of that was the slow transfer window but it is what it is. That’s in the past. But I’m feeling a bit more positive today that Nigel has a plan. We’ll see anyway over the next few games.

    The sun ain't shining. 
    And Adkins has fell arse over tit while having a walk
  • Dont prolong the inevitable, give JJ/Euell till Xmas see where we are.
  • Adkins has had that squad for a few weeks. Of course he does not know the best team. The recruitment is to blame ( whoever is responsible for that) . He should have had a decent squad pre season.

    That first half was not down to the players but the individual who set them up like that. He has lost it and if the owner wishes to dispense of his services then so be it

    He’ll get two I reckon
  • Like anything in life you have some form of continuity you can’t just get rid of managers because it ain’t working out. I remember when Man U wanted Fergie out ..fans wanted Curbs out…look what happened

    Nobody wanted Curbs out .  Adkins is an absolute joker

    Definite signs of improvement and some lovely attacking football. Far to early to sack the manager IMO. I think we will click soon and go on a winning run.

    They did in the 90s as well as when we weren’t hitting the mid table

    Never failed at Hull…look what he done at Southampton and Scunthorpe..as well as missed out on the play offs on goal difference.. give the fella a chance 
  • I think Adkins time should be up but I just don’t think Sandgaard will sack him, he’s his man at the end of the day. Like someone posted earlier at the FF all his talk is about giving him time. Plus he’s not gonna want to pay his contract up.

    I sincerely hope those at work don’t have a rough time of it and get the boot after a coupe of months

    The manager's job is to pick the team, make the plan and motivate the players. 

    Nigel fails miserably on all three counts.

    More bad recruitment by the club.

    Hull
    first full season in charge - finished 13th. 
    Left by mutual consent at the end of the season. 
    Hardly success is it ?

    Soton was 2010 - so far back it doesn’t mean anything now.

    Out and out now, he hasn’t got a clue. Leaving the best two players from Tuesday on the bench until 80 odd minutes was a disgrace….oh look what happened when they came on
    To be fair to Atkins- Davison did look exhausted on Tuesday night when he came off, so he made the right call in my book.
