Updates from Adkins

Collins is the only fully fit CB we have if Edgar is out, and we're on about 'the right player'.

Surely a big CB on a months loan can't hurt, Nige? Must be someone out there not getting a game?

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Shame about Higdon.

It definitely ain't Nige.
The people above aren't giving him the funds yet he'll be the one picking up the slack.

It's clear to all that he's working with his hands tied, but needs must. One fit CB at the club and the loanee you've brought in isn't even training. The board must see this.

Collins and McGahey makes 2 fit CBs but we are down to the bare bones.

 

[FTPE]

Fuck sake, I knew Brayford was worse than first thought

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

The Room for Improvement in my pad is fucking huge.

 

[Grecian2000]

Surely there's a line missing.

NA. "The room for improvement"

ME "Don't be a twat."

Think the board see what the feck they like at times.

 

[Roygbiv]

I really didn't think we would see Collins and McGahey as a partnership again but it looks like they will start on Saturday. Could quite easily drop more points this weekend due to not sorting the defence out

 

[Blade56]

At this rate one of our CB's will be pushin a fekin tea trolley

Our defenders couldn't mark a tea trolley, never mind push one.

 

[Bladesman]

Offloading some of our dead weight might actually help us sign someone new.

How, by NHS transfer?

 

[Bladesman]

How, by NHS transfer?

We just have to find a hospital to transfer them to.

 

[BushBlade]

How, by NHS transfer?

We should just have them put down but I don't think you can do that post-Bosman.

 

[davidpinder]

Why doesn't he come out and say we've no money to bring new players on loan

 

[BushBlade]

Because that would be perceived as criticising his employers in public.

 

[wizadry]

It looks like we tried to rush Brayford back. Yet another fuck up from the club, when will we learn.

When the first assesment was that he was out until atleast Christmas and he's trying to play at the end of November/start of October, then that has to be questioned when he cost us well over a million quid and our manager was a physio, what the fuck is happening at our club regarding injuries, we seem to have loads in recent times?

They've certainly done enough hospital passes.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Yet more evidence that our Board doesn't give a toss. I had thought things would be better when the Prince came on board but I've spent more in the club shop than he has invested. And I can only assume the Murphy money pays for Phipps to jet off to Dubai every other week.

The Board should put the club up for sale. At least then there would be some hope that things might improve.

 

[coaxingstar71]

We could always try what Billy Bremner did at Donny in the late 70's/early 80's and go back to the old 2-3-5 full backs-half backs-wingers-outside right-inside forward- striker formation. I seem to recall them winning a game 7-5 v Reading? but then losing a couple heavily, one I think 6-3. Could be entertaining yet disastrous

 

[MobileBlade]

Why doesn't he come out and say we've no money to bring new players on loan

Because it might not be the case. Sorry wrong agenda. Apologies.

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

You've spent more than £10m in the club shop.

Blimey, what did you get for that?

 

[PeteBlade]

We went from "imminent signings" to "no rush. Needs to be right player".

Which means January.

Incompetence is too light a word.

I'd guess the assessment 'up til Christmas' was how long it will take until he's properly match fit. It probably took into account that he would have some kind of setback along the way.

I can't imagine we'd be forcing him to play, I suspect he was desperate to and said he was ready for a try out. If you're going to have a go at anyone, it should be Brayford himself.

Or rather than look to blame someone accept that players coming back from serious injuries often have set backs. It's par for the course and is almost an inevitable part of recovery. You can have all the scans and tests available but nothing can simulate game time.

We'll mention a loan player again after defeat on Saturday. In fact we'll keep talking about them until the January transfer window get out clause. Then the whole circus begins again.

Serious injury being the key words. You rarely, if ever see a player come back from injury 2 to 3 months before the estimated time.

The manager picks the team, not Brayford so i'm not going to blame him. Just the same as i don't blame any shite player we've had who end up getting picked by the manager, the book stops with him unfortunately.

The assesment was back playing at Christmas.

So Brayford declares himself fit, Adkins says 'have a run out in the u21s soft as shit league and if you feel anything stop immediately', Brayford does that, exactly that, but someone's at fault?

And if he doesn't come back til Christmas, so what, that's when we expected him back so who's lost out?
