So, what is it with you lot and only accepting positive news stories no matter how rediculous, yet a negative story always seems to twist some knickers. In reality of course Adkins is under pressure, no matter what he has done in the past two years (though this was helped by an influx of cash and academy products) he has seen 30m worth of new players come in this year, and with the quality of squad and the standard of those teams at the bottom I do t think that its unreasonable to assume he is under review. And FWIW im not saying Adkins job is hanging by a thread, as it isnt, but under review for me means if we go down he is gone.... And Im afraid as much as I like Adkins thats not unreasonable

The January 2013 HCDAJFU thread...

Its not the questioning thats the issue, its the pedantic crap, when Nixon mentioned something about us going for players out of our reach you went off on one about Ramirez etc The pedantry is rather annoying. He was making a point, something we were guilty of in the summer (gaston excluded) and also applies this window -
Some right little grasses on here I can tell thee.

Take it or leave it, I obviously have no evidence to speak of, nor will I be revealing a source. I have my links at the club, through my past, though I dont talk to people that often any more. Im certainly not going to explain myself to you MLG. BTW can you stop hounding Nixon on twitter with your pedantic nonsense, I quite like being able to read his latest titbits, I certainly dont need to hear you banging your same old drum. -

Surprised we arent back in for Dawson, but then we spectacularly cocked that up in the summer -

We have been here before though StanMoleDuneCheesey Sanchez TBH I dont ask for anyone to be banned but if your gonna act like a Helmet dont get defensive when people get annoyed Edit - actually you can ban mattletissier as he is clearly a f*cktard

I agree in theory, but as shown against Stoke, play him the right way ans he is still capable of taking teams apart. We do have much less movement around the box when he spearheads us though, and I am concerned that although we now seem to be starting to get into our grove in regards to the way we like to keep possession etc we dont seem to carve out any real chances, and that for me is due to movement around the main areas. On another note though pace down the wings would warrant the continued inclusion of Rickie as it would be their focus to get behind the opponents backline.

Your funny Dune

Not a small bloke there either Perhaps like Lambert he needs someone to reign him in, like Lambert needs people reminding him that keeping an athletic build takes work. Though not quite to the level Boruc was when he arrived Rickie didnt look like he missed many pies over the summer.

Tbf the last few incarnations of Dune showed that he was susceptable to a day or so of rediculous rantings, Im sure when the drink wears off or the meds kick in he will be ok. Fair play to him though, he kept up the sharad for longer than his last entities, but it was always going to cone out eventually wasnt it ?

Spot on Turks

Meh, my avatar has been there ages, cant be arsed to change it, pick me one. Transfers were pretty good for me, dissapointing we didnt get a keeper or a new reserve CB. Cortese and Adkins are part of the transfer commitee, neither have sole responsibility to sign players, this is something I agree with is needed at all teams. How can you say we have not played with passion ?
-
Yoshida is growing into a great little CB for me, his reading of the game is great and works V well with Fonte. Rodriguez shows me flashes he will be a good player, he needs game time. Mayuka ? Has a decent name for himself as up and coming player, looks lively, Ill reserve judgement but yeah concede its a little dissapointing. Then you have Clyne who is fantastic and Ramirez who is or will be V soon easily our best player and arguably too good for us. Ive read a few of your recent posts Bazza, 11.30 is a bit early to be on the sauce Dune.

If that chelsea team wants to turn it on then they will destroy teams, but the fact that they are not top of the league shows their problem, they are very inconsistant. It took them time to get into their stride but then when they get in the ascendancy you are knackered. The array of talent there is phenominal and Ba has taken them up another notch too. We met them on a good day, QPR on a bad day. Lucky for 'arry nothing chelsea really threw at them worked, it was almost the opposite against us come the second half. Would we have stood a better chance with our better players ? Of course, but in reality Chelsea is the best team in the league on paper IMO
