Yes too true Bill, Adkins has mentioned lack of mental toughness to cope with the pressure cooker atmosphere at the Lane.Its a common theme all our recent managers have said similar but none have solved the problem.Adkins is charged with job now,I do understand the need for experienced players but that doasnt stop us getting players with pace and a hunger for success.In my opinion
Adkins is after that kind of player and I fully agree with him to keep
his powder dry until he can bring in
( as he says) the right ones.We have too often opted for 2nd best let's see if he managers it.Still all to play for this season
Agree - and keep on reiterating ... Adkins is not the problem. Player capability is. Not their fault either, regardless of people's expectations, you can't polish turds. If they are giving their all (and in some cases, they are) but aren't at the required standard, what can we do? Thrashing them won't make them better. The players we had that hold the key to us getting out of this division have been sold. The onlyw ay we can sort that is to clear out those who aren't good enough and buy players above this league's standard, and if we get promotion continue to buy and develop players above the standard.
