You'd have thought the manager would have realised that as well after it happening week after week and changed th formaiton wouldn't you. I wonder why he hasn't, must be very incompetent.

That was always what I said. I'm a quality player, just the players I had a round me were only ever of pub standard.

Yep, credit where it's due, one thing he will do it get a good price for a player when selling.

So he spear headed the implementation of a process they he's doing his best to stick to is he? Sounds like he was over ambitous If that was the case and very daft to spearhead something you don't have the players to play effectively.

Yep. Those comments where sneered at by many of this forum. How would Nixon know etc. yet many on this forum were stalking him between June and August desperate for any snippet of news, yet as usual on here the only things that were believed were the positive ones. Hilarious attempts as spinning Niges very clear comments about doing his best at adhering to the process at the club as being something they he ha put in place. I don't know why he didn't just say that he had if that as the case. He said he chooses the players and makes the subs, why not just say he chooses the formation as well rather than saying he does his best to stick to the process in place? It's very odd.

Apart from him saying he is doing his best to adhere to the process at the club you mean? Doesn't sound the words of someone who has devised the whole process to me.

So he's adhering- his words- the process that he the driving force behind is he?!! Why say that? Why not just say he's decided to play 4-3-3 come what may?

It could be the case. And If it is then Adkins is nothing more than a yes man as he'd change his whole management philosophy and turn his back on what has been successful to adopt to 'the process'. Would it not?

So what does it mean to say 'we have a process we are doing our best to adhere to'? What does that say to you? So you adhere to orders and instructions or do you adhere to something you decided for yourself?

Err Adkins said himself yesterday Jamie 'we will play 4-3-3' You haven't explained why a manager known as successful for switching tactics wold now suddenly only stick to one formation, one that isn't working and has lead to us having the worst defence in premier league history at this strange.

Adkins was known and very successful for adapting tactics and changing tactics last season to suit the opposition and it got us two promotions. Now he is sticking with 4-3-3 regardless of the opposition, regardless of the players available and regardless of the success of it. Please explain why a manager would have a complete change in his ethos that has worked so well in the past and stick with stick with something that isn't working, when for the last two seasons when a tactic hasn't worked he'd changed it, sometimes during games. Why change philosophy? Why change what has been successful? Of course, it's just me having a pop at the chairman isnt it.

It is true as Adkins said so himself yesterday 'we have a process at this club we are doing or best to adhere to' so either Adkins is a liar or he is simply adhering to the process that he has been told to follow.

Also what manager will work with Nick Nack and 'the process'

The problem for Nige is he is adhering to the process as he says and doing it with players that aren't good enough. He's in an impossible situation.

Don't disagree. However some games we've been getting over run on the flanks due to the lack of cover wide. Our midfield has been easy to cut through and of course the defenders simply not being good enough. Which our 'recruitment department' knew about but failed to address and all sorts of excuses were made for them on here.

Yep that's exactly how it is.

I didn't say it, Nige did. Either He's a liar or he is adhereing as best he can to The process at the club, like he said he is. And another thing, it Adkins is choosing the formation, why has he suddenly become so rigid and inflexible? Last season he would often change formation and shape during a game, why ditch What worked so well for two season and now stick to one formation home and away, regardless of who we play and how the game is panning out?

Not quite. He says he picks the team and makes the subs. He also says we WILL play 4-3-3 and we have a process at this club we are doing our best to adhere too, but it's about winning football matches. So If your picking the formation & tactics what process do you need to adhere to? You adhere to instructions do you not? And why would you stick to just one formation regardless of the opposition, having the players to play it and If it's working or not? Why is he persisting with a formation that isn't working? Of course no manger is going to come out and say they are told to play a certain way but talk of adhering to processes as best they can and sticking to a formation is as near to that as you can get.

Yep, remember it well. So the things we have called correctly so far this season the have come true are as follows We dont need to expand the stadium this season Our defence is no where near good enough Adkins isn't fully in control of matters on the pitch Adkins didn't get what he wanted in the transfer window Clyne is signing We are in for a big struggle to stay up and talk of the champions league is embarassing. Have I missed anything? Yet still we are looked down on as negative posters by the self titled intelligent posters.

Oh No Dr Who. Many on here were adamant we didn't need premier league experience and we would comfortably finished midtable in this average division with what we had.

Inexperience?! What do you mean? A lot on here told us we don't need premier league experience!! It can't be down to that! As for ability have we forgotten Carroll is a carthorse and Allerdyce doesn't have a clue?!'

He's not picking the formation, his hands are tied. The problem runs much deeper than Adkins being out of his depth I'm afraid. What decent manager is going to come in and be told what formation they have to play? especially one which isn't working and we don't have the players for.

Sorry, from what I saw it looked like Fonte raised his arm and pushed it at the ball. Idiotic defending not bias.

Let's be honest, we're a shambles at the back and some of us saw this coming but were assured we were an amazing team playing in an average league.
