Ian RoyalOld Biscuitman Haven't been able to get to a game this season, so rely on these posts to stay informed. It all sounds quite depressing. Must say that, after more than 60 years of association with this club in one way or another, I may take myself off to watch Forest Green Rovers next weekend.
Earlier in the season we had a huge list of injuries and a backs to the wall, fight through it approach. We picked up a few unexpected points thanks to this.
I think we then got a bit too relaxed and complacent as new signings settled in. We got turned over by Sheff Weds, then well beaten by Derby in the cup. We lost a good lead against Wolves and couldn't beat Leeds. Suddenly our confidence was shot to buggery and we crumbled like a dry sand castle in a gale the second we conceded. But, we were playing reasonably good football in between calamitous defensive mistakes even then. 0-3 against Derby is probably the best display I've ever seen from a team being comprehensively beaten. It would have been a totally unfair result but for our shambolically suicidal defending.
In the last few games Adkins has been slowly changing the emphasis. Going less attacking and trying to address the defensive frailties. That's resulted in a meaner defence but a more toothless attack and poor creation from midfield. He needs to shift back a little again, but we need enough confidence that we won't fall apart at the drop of a hat & that the defence is improved before that's really likely to work.
That's my view from having seen about half the games so far. But I'm sure someone'll come along to explain I'm wrong and it's all just a simple case that Adkins has an orange tan and can't do his job so we're just shit.
That's a pretty accurate summary in my view Ian!
