Statement from Leeds United: "The club would like to make it clear that Brian McDermott remains our first team manager. He has not been dismissed from his post as has been suggested and we look forward to him continuing in his role with us in taking Leeds United forwards." :lol: So they j...

Hurlock, Whitehurst, Tait, Richardson, Parky.

Top five for me.

Just got in from work.

Have we had a shot on target yet?

Ownership issues clearly won''t help but the manager and his staffs role is to get the best out of the group of players. We now have defenders who are scared stiff with the ball at their feet. A non creative midfield and a forward line starved of any service. I'm not sure Adkins is getting the best ...

MeMeMe Shots 16 - 2
On target 5 - 0

We are the lower figures of course... Over the last 5 games, how many shots on target have we had ?

The last 4 games including this one we have had 19 shots...............the opposition have had 72!

And on target ?

Our 7 to oppositions 28.

The issues isn't not being able to pass but to receive a ball, control it immediately and see the pass before the defender sees it/closes it down; our players lack the technique to do it - so other teams close us down quickly and win the ball easily .... if you close down a very skillful player too...

Or 31st January.

He basically said they do everything too slowly and lack the vision to see the first time pass. Haven't seen many games this season but from what I have seen they have no trouble with the first time forward pass, it's passing it forward where the problem lies. :| I'll amend that post then. *First t...

ZacNaloen It's the opposite of what Adkins wants and said so after the Middlesbrough game.

What is?

All of this " the players cannot play Adkins style" is not an excuse. Adkins can clearly see it is not working, so he needs to change to suit the players which is what happened under Bmac. Adkins needs to work with what he has and adjust his tactics accordingly rather than telling the pla...

H.T.

We're level on corners.

JimmytheJim Our 0 shots on target is indicative of our patient, measured build-up play.

Says more about the players than the style.

The players can't play the style that Adkins wants. We've had 42% possession probably in our own half!

JimmytheJim Our 0 shots on target is indicative of our patient, measured build-up play.

No need for our patient measured build up to last 80 minutes though.

Maybe when Adkins is expressing his passing style of football in training he could add a goal net into the equation.





Even just a couple of jumpers would be good!

SydenhamRoyal i want to be away, and standing in the terraces

First week of January in Grimsby may make you wish otherwise.

Mansfield Away.

Or

Oxford home/away

First game of the season for me, plastic........yeah, yeah. WTF was that? :shock: If Adkins can't get the 18 players that were named in that squad playing at the 80% they should need to rise to against a team like Bournemouth then he really needs a much better coaching staff. I understand the sentim...

Dellor Jumps on Adkins back immediately though. He is so anti-Adkins doesn't even hide it. The players are just as culpable. I used to like Dellor but he is getting on my tits this season. He's not wrong though is he? Forest made two subs at H/T and are now running the game whilst Adkins is sat on ...
