As I have said before I am far from convinced about Adkins. Last season I felt that we had a strong squad and that we underperformed and he was at least in part to blame. Although the huge injury list was mostly to blame - and we can only speculate if that was as a result of poor training methods o...

I suspect that Leon doesn't disagree with your "lack of creativity" criticism, but probably takes issue with the very last part of that sentence. We won the league without Gylfi. HTH. Indeed. When we won the league (without Gylfi) we were ruthless in front of goal. As a counter attacking ...

Back from the stream? Your telling me there was a stream for this game? Sadly we made the trip for another episode of disappointment. Disappointing from Adkins, the changes made to line up were just wrong. HRK instead of Cox? Not starting Mackie an even stranger choice. Blackburn were the better si...

1. Royal Rother doesn't go to Reading games at all - but feels he is better placed to comment than many of us who do. That would explain why he talks out of his arse. Not better placed at all really, except that I believe I am still in possession of a vaguely functioning brain which does give me an...

What did he say in his interview today any links? Same old rubbish....started well etc, I picked a team to win. Once again most questions asked were side stepped! Unfortunately this isn't Championship Manager. Adkins is making do with what is a very limited squad at the moment. The holes in the tea...

Head and nail in that first sentence, our players DO NOT want to play for Adkins!!! What a crock of shit. I remember well HNA'ers/fans alike saying the same when we went through a bad patch with McDermott. No need to panic. Far too much high expectations this season. What a bunch of oxf*rd drama qu...

Still think a big part of the problem is that we're playing 4-2-4 (in reality) with neither full back getting any protection. This is an Adkins tactical issue which can be solved. Obita was POTS, but he had the massively experienced Mcanuff playing in front of him. Despite his detractors, Jobi work...

OK Ian - let's suppose you're right Ian (although it appears that Hector and Obita have 160 league appearances between them) why hasn't Adkins a) worked out what the problem is b) fixed it???? We are going to be relegated if we carry on like this - which with a squad as rich in talent and experience...

Ian Royal Watford H first 45 minutes was the best we've played in years.
even if I agreed with this we still actually threw the game away - how this can consistently be held up as a positive for Adkins demonstrates how low him and us have come

I'm quite surprised at how many people are rolling out the "we were always going to struggle this season" line and placidly accepting the dross on the pitch. Professional athletes and coaches should be driven and committed to success, not sat about going "oh well, 14th place is bette...

Is there really a need for yet another thread discussing the same oxf*rd thing. OP is a serial offender on this topic, too.
Come on Platypuss do the decent thing.

Absolutely correct. Notice with interest you cut out the last bit. "You just can't legislate for individual errors" Mr T Bullivant You certainly can't do much about individual errors from senior players when you have no alternatives. Yes, getting alternatives is an important part of the j...

Current situation is very worrying but can't help feeling Adkins has been given an impossible task from the time he joined. Until he is given some resources to improve the squad I don't think anyone else would do a better/worse job. Totally disagree. This squad is better than the performances this ...
