Forgetting about Adkins' signings; tactics; formations; substitutions and relationship management; which player(s) have actually shown consistent improvement over this season ?

OK.Why ignoring Long?
Shush, this doesn't support a pro Adkins argument.
Do you really think Adams has shown consistent improvement. IMO he has gone backwards.Long, Adams, ... Erm... Erm...
Yep, that's your lot.
Narrow Pathway for Youth. Wide as hell Pathway for Ageing Mediocrity.

Spot on with that fella.Adkins mentioned in his post match interview that we have to keep building, but there's not a lot to build on in my opinion.
Looking at the current first team, and guessing Adkins will keep the same formation:
Long
Baptiste Edgar McEveley
Basham Coutts Hammond Flynn Done
Sharp Adams
- In goal I reckon Long will sign a new contract and keep going as first choice.
- Centre halves - I think Baptiste will be either too expensive or unavailable for loan next season
- Edgar - Not impressed by him and think we should look for better. He's had a pretty comfortable position lately, sweeping up behind Baptiste and McEveley who've challenged opponents more
- McEveley - Criticised far too much, but I think he's past his best and would not offer him a new contract.
- Basham - Playing as a wide target man like Jostein Flo has seen him do well in some matches, while offering very little in others. Not a long term answer in this position
- Coutts - Will be around next season. Good at some things, poor at others. Too many players like this makes it difficult to compose well-balanced, strong elevens week in, week out.
- Hammond - It won't be easier for him to hide his lack of pace next season and I will be disappointed if Adkins is allowed to sign him.
- Flynn - out of contract. A versatile and useful squad player, but I wouldn't offer him a new deal.
- Done - Like Basham, just filling in at wing back. Average in this position.
- Sharp - Has done pretty well, but Adkins struggles to find the ideal partner for him. The lack of an aerial threat has been evident in plenty of games (like yesterday). If we sign an old fashioned target man, pace will become a problem.
- Adams - I think he has very good potential, but he's been inconsistent. Must be careful about not bulking up too much. Clough forbid weight training for him. Has Adkins done the same?
Youngsters - not sure Adkins is very keen on any of them.
we keep that formation i predict rioting by the end of SeptemberAdkins mentioned in his post match interview that we have to keep building, but there's not a lot to build on in my opinion.
