We keep changing the manager, scapegoating the previous one and nothing else changes.....

Stop looking at the touchline and start questioning the board. Adkins will be the next fall guy and his successor will fail.

This club won't move forward until the right people are held accountable for its failings. To find the cure you have to identify the cause.

Do you think Adkins is doing ok?
He has inherited a poor unmotivated group of tossers admittedly but a forward line like we fielded today should be able to score a goal at Crewe FFS!

I give up. Some of you will always blame the one in front of the camera. Clueless.

The floor is everyone else's. Goodnight.

He isn't saying that at all.
He's saying our problems lie deeper than the manager.
We're run by fucking clowns.
 
I'm looking at the players. They are good enough, talent wise, to get up out of this league. They are consistently not putting in shifts or performances under different managers.

Adkins needs to abandon 4-4-2 though. Clearly not working.
 
Regardless of the faults anywhere else... After the first 10 mins we didn't appear to have a plan A, never mind B or C.

I've posted elsewhere this - but it's no good saying "sack the board" on a forum. Nobody apart from us fans read it.

Board members read... Right to the very top.

How many of our players aren't 3rd division players? About 5 or 6 at best.

You can get away with that when you have 2 or 3 exceptional ones. Sadly, we have none.

No No No ( League one) The players are NOT good enough!!!! Out of our massive squad I would keep 6
 

In that case, put your fucking hand in your pocket McCabe or fuck off and let someone in who will.
I think he put his hand on his pocket with Clough, who squandered it.

Our problem had been employing managers who are rubbish.

For once, probably luck over judgement, we bucked that trend.

The boards next major fuck up will be to blame the current man for the previous mess.

It takes time, and patience is understandably wearing thin. We must hold our nerve.

Of course, spending a few more million will always help :)

Couldn't agree more! SACK THE BOARD

Who exactly is going to do that?

We owe McCabe/ Scarborough/his family trusts nearly £50m quid. He's hardly likely to go hop skip and jumping away from that, is he?

Why not go down and wave your shoes in the car park if it makes you happier.

Get real Blades.

McCabe saved us in the early 2000's and has continued to bank roll us big style. He has made some shocking managerial appointments (Robson in particular who blew multi millions) but he isn't going to walk away when we owe him so much.

The message to the Board should be

"Sack Adkins at your peril"

Its time to give Adkins what he wants, and now, not January

have to disagree..most of them are crap clough cronies and the rest are crocked mongs that come here for a final payout
 
No they aren't

In terms of talent I believe they have. I'd also say that most of our 1st XI would walk into almost every team in this league.

They have talent and ability but the problem is that they seem to lack athleticism, power, pace, height, strength, leadership, mental strength, fight and determination

This has been the issue we've had for four years. We're not bringing in the right type of player.

Sadly they showed last season that they are not. Again this season they will show us they are not. Agreed they do not work hard enough, because they do not care.

Or stop selling our best players?

Sorry fella, they doesn't make sense if you read it back. It's a bit like saying if the players weren't rubbish then they would be better.

Power, pace, athleticism is exactly what's missing. It's lack of it that means that they are third divisionn players.

Guilty as charged. The point I was trying to make, but didn't, was that we could bring in two players with the attributes we're missing and the rest would look a lot better. On paper many are good enough, but as a team unit it doesn't work because we lack players with those key attributes.
