Certain players will be uncertain how things will turn out.

Players are human beings and young men with feelings and uncertainties. They all know how the change of club manager can affect their immediate future. The following long list shows how much uncertainty the change of manager holds for a large part of the squad. Penny for their thoughts and here are my own guesses:

Howard: " Clough called me the "best keeper in League 1" but the new man is an ex-keeper!!!"

Freeman: "The new man had attacking full backs at Southampton but could they defend better than me.I wonder which facet is the manager's priority. What formation will he play?"

Alcock: " same thoughts as above, but exactly the opposite reason!!"

Basham: " I love playing in midfield but will the manager want my type of player there. Think I might end up in defence"

McEveley: " Here I go again".

Kennedy: " By the time I get myself fit, indeed if I get myself fit, will the defence be settled?"

Scougall: " Hope he's not a 4-4-2 man. Will he play to my strengths?"

Coutts: " Will the new manager build a team round me? Will he value my qualities or worry about my mobility? Will he play 4 or 5 in midfield?"

Reed: " Will he want bigger, more physical players?"

Adams: " At what stage will I get my chance? Where will the manager fancy me? Will he sign new strikers?"

Baxter: " What have I done, what will happen? Will the new manager kick me out?"

Higdon: " Will I get fit? Will the new manager value my strengths even if I do get fit?"

Cuvelier: " Did he see me play at higher levels. Will my game suit his style? Maybe it will."

McNulty " Will I get my chance? What type of striker does he like? Will I be a perpetual sub?"

Wallce. J. " Will I ever get fit?"

Long: " Will he give me my chance? I need first team football".

I think Brayford, Murphy, Flynn, Done, Basham (in defence) and maybe Harris will have few uncertainties. That's not many.

I suppose the other thing in their minds is whether they want to be here anymore e.g. ex-Derby players.

All the players thoughts will be focussed on one thing . There agents mobile number , to determine how long is left on there contract , and when is it up for renewal.

Not such a good angle thinking about the players' feelings and uncertainties then. Ho hum.

The thread's dead that's for sure.

The following long list shows how much uncertainty the change of manager holds for a large part of the squad. Penny for their thoughts and here are my own guesses:

Howard: " Clough called me the "best keeper in League 1" but the new man is an ex-keeper!!!" I KNOW I AM AVERAGE IN THIS DIVISION I NEED TO SMARTEN UP IF I WANT A SHIRT

Freeman: "The new man had attacking full backs at Southampton but could they defend better than me.I wonder which facet is the manager's priority. What formation will he play?" I WAS BROUGHT HERE BECAUSE THE FORMER MANAGER HAD ME AT DERBY MY LEVEL IS MIDTABLE LEAGUE 1, THINK I NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHERE NC GOES

Alcock: " same thoughts as above, but exactly the opposite reason!!" I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE PLAYING WEEK IN WEEK OUT IN A PROMOTION CHASING TEAM, HOPE NC GETS A JOB SOON

Basham: " I love playing in midfield but will the manager want my type of player there. Think I might end up in defence" I NEED TO TELL THE BOSS WHICH POSITION I PREFER AND STICK TO IT

McEveley: " Here I go again". I CAN'T DEFEND WHERES CLOUGH GONE AAAAAHHHHH !!!!

Kennedy: " By the time I get myself fit, indeed if I get myself fit, will the defence be settled?" I AM GOOD ENOUGH AND WILL FIGHT FOR MY PLACE

Scougall: " Hope he's not a 4-4-2 man. Will he play to my strengths?" I HOPE THE GAFFER LIKES LITTLE SCOTTISH LADS WHO NEED TO IMPROVE ON THERE SHOOTING

Coutts: " Will the new manager build a team round me? Will he value my qualities or worry about my mobility? Will he play 4 or 5 in midfield?" I HOPE THE NEW GAFFER LIKES A TEAM FULL OF MIDFIELDERS OR I'M OUT OF HERE.

Reed: " Will he want bigger, more physical players?" (AS KENNEDY)

Adams: " At what stage will I get my chance? Where will the manager fancy me? Will he sign new strikers?" (AS KENNEDY AND REED)

Baxter: " What have I done, what will happen? Will the new manager kick me out?" I'LL GET MY COAT

Higdon: " Will I get fit? Will the new manager value my strengths even if I do get fit?" I NEED TO IMPROVE BY 1000000000000000% TO STAND A CHANCE

Cuvelier: " Did he see me play at higher levels. Will my game suit his style? Maybe it will." THIS CLUB IS CURSED

McNulty " Will I get my chance? What type of striker does he like? Will I be a perpetual sub?" I LIKE THE BENCH ANYWAY SO NOT WORRIED

Wallce. J. " Will I ever get fit?" ???????????????????????????

Long: " Will he give me my chance? I need first team football". PRE SEASON IS MY CHANCE TO PROVE MYSELF

I think Brayford, Murphy, Flynn, Done, Basham (in defence) and maybe Harris will have few uncertainties. That's not many. I AM HOPING NA BUILDS THE TEAM AROUND THEM AS WE ALL KNOW TO ACHIEVE AUTO WE NEED 5 OR 6 PLAYERS

I suppose the other thing in their minds is whether they want to be here anymore e.g. ex-Derby players.

I see where you are coming from and i have quoted next to yours on what they will more than likely be thinking or should be thinking.
 
Successful people think positively. The rest of us who lead hum drum lives think the thoughts that WWF is making out our players are thinking.

If our players have those types of thoughts then quite honestly we can look forward to fourth tier football in 2016/17.

Instead they will be thinking 'I have every confidence in my ability. I cannot wait for pre-season training to start and the new gaffer seeing what I can offer to the team.'

The players final thoughts of whether or not they have a future at SUFC , will be after Adkins collective and individual talks , with each of the players . Some will know ( as we do ) , that they are just not good enough to move this club forward. Confidence and being positive yes , but Adkins will provide the realisation , that they are perhaps not as good , as they think they are.

If those are the players thoughts, they obviously don't know Adkins

Howard: "oh he's an ex keeper, he might actually give me some advice and help me improve"

Che Adams: "At Southampton he seemed to help young players come through, I might actually get a chance this season"

Louis Reed: "if I play well I might actually stay in the team"

McNulty: "yes!!!! A positive manger, I won't get the blame for losing the game when I get brought on in the 89th minute and is expected to have an impact,"

Scougall: " when I watched some Southampton games he used to love attacking pacey players like me, this might be the manager for me"

Basham: "this guy actually might use his brain and give Collins a chance so I don't have to play CB"

Long: "I might actually get a chance here, Adkins will give me another chance to impress"

Baxter: "I should probably just leave"

Maybe Coutts will be thinking "I need to get really fit. If I do I'm the best midfielder in this league" or is it only the Bladey-Blades who should be having positive thoughts?

Maybe Reed should be thinking: "I hope I play well enough not to be deservedly subbed at half-time".

Maybe Long should be thinking "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm 6-4. Time to command my area, start reading the play and cut out the schoolboy areas"

Kennedy - "no amount of wishful thinking will make me fit enough or tall enough to play first-team football at this level"

Entirely predictable, I'm afraid.

Awkward truth time: If Long, Kennedy and Reed are your idea of the backbone of our team next season, start preparing for 2017 in League One.

Terry Kennedy is taller than Fabio Cannavaro. Cut out the parochial, upanatem muck 'n' nettles lower league dog and duck attitudes about height and physicality, would you? Where's your aspiration man?

My aspiration extends beyond the wall at the end of the yard, unlike Bladey Blades. Everyone stresses the need for more height, pace and power and then bangs the drum for Reed and Kennedy. You couldn't make it up, mate....

Have you been married Pinchy, were you always on the lookout away from home, never satisfied by the wifey wifey stuff?

Sometimes what's from within is absolutely right for player and club, besides within any team there are the workers and the battlers who take the fight to the opposition or beat them off so that the more talented teammates can strut their stuff.
