2 world wars, 1 world cupScottishRoyalMmmMonsterMunch More in hope than anything else but I really hope the board back Adkins in Jan & allow him to build a squad that can compete for next season.
Anything can happen but surely we have no hope of play-offs with the current squad?
It makes absolute sense for them to write this season off & give him some cash to see what he can do.
The most frustrating thing for me is that we DO have a squad that is capable of play-offs and promotion this season. Other than QPR how many of the squads above us would you rather have? The problem is with the way we are playing and the form of the players, not the personnel.
NOT the personnel?
When anyone with half a brain cell could see that we have been sorely missing a decent striker and attacking midfielder for over a season.. INCLUDING the club who said they'd be bringing in more players but then mysteriously didn't.
On top of that anyone can see we have NO LEFT BACK COVER
And now NO CB COVER
how on EARTH anyone in their right mind say our personnel/squad is fine?????

RoyalBlue In which case we are merely continuing in the direction that McDermott had us heading by the time he was sacked. Talking of players looking like they didn't want to play for a manager - have people forgotten the games against our relegation rivals just before McDermott was removed?

the majority of the Adkins fan club were tipping us for top 2 at the start of the season with exactly this squad. Now it's the squad's fault, apparently.

bobby1413 I agree with some others.
Keep Adkins, nothing will be achieved by sacking him. He needs more than half a season or even one full season to do his thing.
Who else would we get as manager? It's a silly suggestion to think of sacking him anyway.
I feel pretty negative about our chances this season of promotion (obviously), but I'm willing to wait till next season after the summer break for another chance.

I agree. When McDermott was sacked the team was lacking in spirit and application and I wasn't surprised to see him go (although a bit disappointed cos he's a nice bloke and I think he could have stabilised the ship this season). So yes we are continuing in that direction, and surely the whole point of bringing in a new manager and giving him the summer to bring in new players was to start moving in another direction.
Seems to me like we've changed "styles" but remained just as ineffective at applying this style as we were the last one.

Seriously WTF? Our back 4 for the next game will be Cummings LB, Gunter CB, Pearce CB, Kelly RB. Just dreadful. No wonder that we cannot stop conceding. The CM's do not gel whatsoever. IT's a big steaming pile of sh1t & quite hard to point the finger at Adkins. Even Brian the 'messiah' would struggle to be any higher that we currently sit.
