Brian may be a sad old bore, but I wonder how many fans want the same as him? 50 percent?

Very far off the mark, I'd imagine. Maybe 10% is closer.

But there are relatively frequent and very well-attended protests on the streets of London against Cameron and his government, because many people want the same thing.

If as many as 50% wanted Adkins & the board out, there'd be a bit more fuss about it. Instead we have a man and a bit of cardboard on a wet Thursday, stood outside a car park all day and getting widely mocked on forums and social media.

What were the results of that 'Adkins out poll' the other week, anyway? Last I checked after 100-odd votes it was at about 25%.

..and if 5,000 fans protested in the car park his position would be untenable. Most people can't be arsed.

For the record I don't want Adkins out..yet. As has been said before, a Warnock return is a non-starter as he's burned his bridges with McCabe and others.
 
Adkins has got no right to expect to be in a job come August next season. He's done a shocking job.

So many fans are just apathetic now and don't have the will for another change.

Adkins literally has nada in the +ve column but most of us just can't be arsed anymore and he'll be the lucky recipient.

A few decent results against the run of the season has only added to that as well. It's a mixture of apathy, falling in to the trap of the smokescreen that a tiny minority of decent performances gets you and the old back drop "can't keep changing managers". Not one of those has any substance or explanation behind them as to why they should allow for a failing manager to continue failing.

While taking yours (& Champers) point about apathy, & that about weariness regarding changing managers, I don't really go for the "getting hoodwinked" argument about a "tiny number" of recent performances.

Reckon it's fair to say that a trend has developed of increasingly improved performances over the past couple of months. Not that the line on the graph's been going seamlessly upwards - there have been wobbles - but that trend towards improvement still exists.

Even so, is it sustainable (after Baptiste goes back to playing at the higher level he deserves to be at, say)? Is it going to be built upon by transfer activity (& conditioning work) over the summer, or will it be stalled by the dead hand of the Technical Committee &/or by Che &/or Billy being auctioned off?

Still significant concerns existing, but surely some grounds for hope in those sturdy green shoots of recent weeks growing out of the previous wreckage of a season?
 
Brian The Blade & Kevin McCabe
Bibbedy Bobbedy Boo
Put 'em together and what have you got...
A 15 round heavyweight bout to discover who is The Bestest Blade in the whole wide world (or S12 if you're Brian)

You are fairly vehement in your anti Nigel Adkins rhetoric. How you come you have not been down there to join Brian? I've got a feeling you would both get on famously.......

I see your point, but the wreckage of a season is still a wreckage of a season. It's important not to let a few results make you lose sight of that because it starts to wander down the path of more and more acceptance, however small. It's important to hold the season in the same regard as it was before the little run, because as I say it's been a poor season on the whole.

The more you look at the season as the bigger picture and know it for what it is, the more likely it'll get the extremity of a solution to match, and it does require extreme measures and large scale changes in terms of a solution. Acceptance (maybe small) loses sight of that need for the measures it requires, which isn't good. It is pointless to a degree as the fans mindset alone counts for nothing, but what it certainly can do is influence the mindset of those in charge.

So heeding your own wise advice, when are you going to change mindsets, and influence change by accompanying Brian on his next unaccompanied day out in the community.

I was at the Lane today, to renew my Season Ticket, you see I know what it means to be a Blade, be there and back the club I support through the bad times. Something you know fuck all about

The Fucker's been using Botox since I last saw him! Suppose that's why he can't afford proper marker pen.
