I'm surprised Adkins has publicly stated that we need another central midfielder for the run in as it will, by logical deduction, leave the club open to criticism (on here at least) if we don't get the side up to optimum strength.
Unless, of course, Nigel is covering his buttocks for the worst case scenario at end of the season when he can turn around and say: "well, I did tell everyone in March that we needed another central midfielder"
