How many tactical mistakes is Adkins allowed? (Part 2)
Dig Dig replied to Dibden Purlieu Saint's topic in The Saints
What about your OP?....a few sentences with fairly generic statements about "weird" substitutions. I've never said Adkins has been perfect but always maintained that we should stick with him through the first difficult patch we've had with him at the helm. -
Maybe you should go and update your failed agenda thread with your Dig Dig agenda

It's not about who we should or shouldn't be beating. It's about getting the right number of results come the end of the season.

Look above at some of your best quotes...where is the constructuve criticism? -

How so DPS? Looking at some of your quotes above it seems you have much to be embarrassed about. Maybe your attempted u-turn on your naysayers thread is a reflection of this? -
For those still unsure about the point of this thread, I was asking why we are not seeing as much anti Adkins stuff as people were constantly going on about how out of his depth Adkins was just a couple of weeks ago. Just making sure that people aren't fickle enough to change their minds now. Lots of people becoming obsessed with how many posters I'm referring to. I agree there aren't that many but they tend to be the ones who shout the loudest and most frequently.

Why are you interpretating everything which is written here as a thread about you?
-
the "loony" who has been in goal for all the points we have got so far this season? Every team in a relegation battle typically has a soft defence. Many teams in the league do. Long way to go.....that's the point most people get. Not you however, ours and Adkins fate was sealed after about week 5 of the season and you've made sure everyone knows about it since then. Don't stop now though, stick to your convictions and see it through to Easter.

I said a vocal minority Krackers in the OP. There are more on here than just the two you have mentioned. How many does it have to be in order for it to be reasonable to start a thread about them? I've had to read page after page of their guff for weeks now, surely people can handle one thread of mine?
-
We're on course for a relegation fight, the most likely outcome going into this season. Unless of course you thought that this league is easy and that we should be sitting comfortably around mid table?

Yea, better to wait a while before declaring something like we will definitely be relegated by Easter or whatever if we keep Adkins.
-
Where did I say he's made no mistakes this season? Enough to claim that he's definitely out of his depth like others have.....certainly not. I'm not making stuff up, when people pointed out that Adkins deserves time after back to back promotions, others said that it's no better than the likes of what McCarthy, Jewell etc achieved.
-
Just asking whats changed in two weeks when some people were so sure Adkins is out of his depth and decided to tell us all at every opportunity. Opinion can't of changed on the basis of one win surely? That would be really dumb wouldn't it Karckers?
-
Probably about the same amount of people claiming that the prem is easy and we'll sail onto Europe. I'm constantly told there were plenty of those.
-
I'm not going through all the Adkins threads to find examples, but trust me, plenty were using the names mentioned here to at least belittle Adkins achievements to date. The only difference I see is that Adkins saw fit to make changes based on what he knows....how knackered players are, the opposition we're up against, how the flow of the game develops etc. Some work for you, some don't. I wonder if people would be showing as much sympathy for the Ramirez sub had we gone on to concede two quick fire goals immediately after....he still would have been knackered after all.
-
Plenty of people were claiming that Adkins has achieved nothing in comparison to these managerial greats. Not sure why anyone would bother even mentioning them unless they were trying to suggest something.... Adkins subbed Ramirez and Lambert on Saturday....two of our best players... only difference is that we won. Fickle fickle football fans.
-
For those who do want Adkins out, I hear a really experienced prem manager called Mark Hughes might be available soon. Can we really afford not to take advantage of this?
-
Just wondering why there are no anti-Adkins threads this week? It can't be on the basis that we won at the weekend because Adkins was apparently really out of his depth two weeks ago and disadvantaged to the likes of Curbishley, Jewell, Phil Brown, McCarthy etc who all have loads of prem experience. No one would be that fickle and stupid to change their minds on the basis of one victory surely? To the vocal minority who have been calling for Adkins head, don't bottle it now, keep the anti-Adkins agendas going otherwise you might lose some respect and credibility!!
-
Yea, this period coming up will really define our season. Need min of 4 points from our next teo to keep momentum building
-
Yes, they are both out for the game. Big opportunity for us.
-
So far so good! Two massive home games now.......3 wins on the bounce is tough to achieve in this league outside of the top 4.
-
It's probably always been bubbling along under the surface. Makes that 8 year contract even more ridiculous. Not because Pardew isn't any good, but because their fans are quick to turn if it's not "one of there own"
-
Football fans in being ungrateful little ***** shocker. Never see that sort of thing around here.
