Adkins comments from tonight

[Roygbiv]

Not heard the interview but Jonathan Buchan tweets......



Adkins wouldn't call it a good point on the road as admits they obviously wanted all three

NA says his side had 7/8 chances in first half and the Blackpool keeper got their MotM award

NA tells me conditions were 'energy sapping'. Felt #SUFC 'started brightly' and should have had a pen, Sammon pulled down

On recruitment Adkins says full focus on that now with no game. Says alot of things have been going to try get players

Adkins admits he wants to be active and busy before deadline. Any signing has to make 'big difference' to the team

Basham and Done should be available for the next game which is Wigan at Home a week sat

Adkins says Sharp has been getting pain killing injections in his foot for a few weeks and got a dead leg on sat

Nothing about honest, hardworking professionals?

That's worrying.

 

[Blade58]

All fair enough from Adkins, but no certainty anyone will arrive anytime soon and the facts remain regards a season fraught with poor results due to inconsistency and players that really haven't performed well enough

 

[cal the blade]

he failed to mention the fact blackpool a team in freefall and turmoil on and off the pitch actualy outplayed us in quite big spells and had a fair few chances to win the game ! i meen for god sake nigel why cant we beat teams like crewe oldham blackpool colchester ! all in and around the relegation zone. we are just bang average ... bang fucking average

 

[Bladesman]

Lets see what business he can do before the Wigan match.

Good to hear but it's time we saw actions now instead of words.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I'm surprised NA didn't say something like "We take stock, we re-group and we move on to <enter name of next opponents here>..."

You forgot Shrewsbury at home. Holding them to 4 was quite a feat

Well I was there and I never saw 7 or 8 chances, we had 2, again we were poor in midfield again with no grit or flair. How their goalkeeper won MOM is just unreal he made 1 save. I would also point out that there are a lot of disgruntled away fans tonight as when the final whistle blew plenty of boos, in fact when the players came to applaud the fans there was a still a mixture of clapping and boos which you could see upset them.

A team in free fall who won their last home game 5-0 - and then drew away at Walsall.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

The only encouraging thing about his post match interview was he said all his attention will now focus getting players in. More players to divert the flak from messers Hammond/Woolford/Sammon.

[robbiez666]

The only saving grace was that their new lad only came on as a sub. It sounded like he fair mauled us.

When I saw our team I thought we'd lose. When I heard theirs I wasn't so sure.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Hmm disappointing not to hear 'it's about winning a game of football'

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I tempered my expectations tonight. I didn't think they would win and the boys didn't let me down.

'It's about keeping it out of one end and keeping it out of the other'.......

Just stop it will you. Logic and facts are not allowed in these parts, you should know that by now!

 

[Bladesman]

Adkins seemed rather annoyed that we didn't get 3 points and rightfully so.

Also on the recruitment of players then I do agree with him to a point that we need to be signing quality. He knows who he wants to sign but I just don't think he will get the players he wants to bring in.

 

[SwissBlade]

Should we read into this that he now thinks they're lying, lazy bastards?

Wonder if Morsey will boss the game for them. Would be embarrassing.

Keiffff and the commentator kept saying "wave after wave of Blackpool attacks" sounded like we sat deep and played for a hang on draw particularly at the end bringing subs on with 1 minute to go.

"Blackpool have now conceded only one goal in their last five home games"

Thanks for rubbing it in BBC.

Saves Deadbat a job with his match reports.

 

[FTPE]

All I took from that is we are now going to put all our efforts into signing someone who will make a big difference to the team....
And now, we wait.

Disappointing result. Needed a win. But the two games leading up to last night, Blackpool had drawn away at Walsall and put 5 past Scunthorpe. They also beat Wigan (away) and Peterborough in December. They are definitely not in "freefall" anymore

 

[Santos]

Last night was a very poor performance by us. As soon as it got announced their keeper had won man of the match (God knows how - 1 good save) I knew Adkins would rattle on about it and he didn't let me down.

Adkins halo has slipped, I've enjoyed about 3 games all season, not too dissimilar to other seasons in this terrible division but used to be made slightly more palatable by the fact we looked destined for a top 6 finish.

Let's not pretend the squad is as awful as some make out, it has its weaknesses which haven't been addressed but minus Murphy (a player many fans thought was inconsistent, weak etc) Adkins has the same players that Clough quite comfortably got in the top 6 in a tougher division. Adkins has made about 6 signings, one of them has been great, the others have not improved the squad one bit. Bad management.

Plus there's always the loan window...

I was there and, whilst we weren't great, if that's what they said they were talking total bollocks and I'm really glad (after my Colchester experience listening to them) that I actually go rather than listen to that shit.
