Mentioned last night in the other thread that I don't think he'll lose his job. Incredibly sadly, I think he'll be staying. It really is pointless though because he's done that much to piss fans off and reveal himself for the poor manager he is, that 2 or 3 poor games next season will almost certainly see a unanimous call for his head, and the club will then finally do the right thing and sack him anyway. But by which point another summer has been missed out on with a good chance of a relegation fight to follow with more of Adkins signings.

Sorry just had to put this but .........
Barney you have p***** off everyone this year and you're still here

Good post, but he did sign Edgar who has done a decent job, especially after Collins went. Lets bare in mind that Adkins would have to find a taker for Collins and McEveley which wouldn't be easy, given their wages at our place and their age! I wouldn't be against Edgar joining on a two year deal, now we know we're in League One. Alongside a decent centre back like Baptiste Edgar has done well, in my view. What Adkins should have done was sign another winger and a target man. Who knows whether it was Clough or Adkins who signed Sammon but either way Sammon gives hope to us all that we can play professional football, and I'm 37 now! I'm not convinced that the youngsters in the squad are ready to step up to be regulars. DCL for example, has got potential but he's not better than Adams and he is still very raw, same with Whiteman. Time for Reed to grow a pair and step up.

We need some much needed bite and aggression. Morsy was that man, still don't get why we didn't move for him, unless there's something we don't know.

Was chatting to a mate yesterday, who was at the Corporate Q and A with McCabe, and McCabe told him he had to pay off Collins, who was basically staying here until his last day, because he knew he would not get anything like these wages anywhere else.

Not surprised to be honest. Can't fault Collins in many ways because however well he was paid here he was still not on a wage to fund him for life, but that doesn't help moving players on. Still a few like that too of course in the present squad.

Whatever the fans' views on their inputs this season, it's pretty unacceptable of Hammond (30 league starts this season) and Sammon (15 +12 league appearances) to not attend the end of season awards.

What would have been scarier was if they had shown up half expecting to win one! Glad they didn't go. They're departure couldn't come soon enough

What he kept uttering was he was bringing in the 3 or so players we all knew we needed, the let down came with his choice , as it was his choice , to let the JTW pass by without bringing in what he said he would, which in turn blew our chane of winning the 4 or 5 games , thats all that were needed to get in the play offs
to get in the play offs gives you a chance , 1 in 4 of going up , he sadly denied us this chance
the pigs have got that chance , which heaps even more misery on our patient long suffering fans
seeing a team thats took 16 years to get there getting a chance when he couldnt deliver in a piss poor competition

Talking utter shite, again.

The play offs do not equal a 1 in 4 chance. It's not a straight case of probability. There are many factors that determine who will win the play offs but chance is not one of them.

For example, only a complete buffoon would have thought that we had a 1 in 4 chance of winning the play offs last season. We were clearly inferior to any of the other three teams in the shake up.

1 in 4 chance?

Samson was powerless without his hair.....did Sammon have an old school mullet before this season, is it a related name thing or something?

Whoosh!

Quite.


Point may have been obtuse but already made.

Further to that.

In a balance of probabilities and 1 in 4 chances, if that was the case and it was as simple as that, then surely we would have been promoted via the play offs at least once by now rather than holding the record of the most fuck ups/least successful play off team ever.

I see your point and agree, however there is a stand out for me, that when Adkins came in, he said words to the effect of giving every player a chance and he (and his team) had been doing their homework on how we played the season prior to taking over.

IF he had done this homework he would have realised that some didn't deserve another chance and he would have seen what areas we needed to focus upon for recruitment (albeit it can be argued that we needed players in all departments, but in some more than others - CB for example).

The problems we have, haven't suddenly appeared this season under Adkins tenure, they were here before and obvious to see.

Time will tell I suppose.

Foxy's fault for not letting him log on here and have a read.
All his homework was done for him.
