    Black Type (sounds like a new bookies) are offering 250/1 for top 6

    more interesting though is they are offering 20/1 for us to be the leagues top scorers, not bad considering we (I think) are currently 2nd highest so far??

    The anticipated defensive football could put a stop to our chances of ending up top scorers. I wonder if Bowen can keep up the good work?

    It's all good if it means more wins, obvs.

    So in his interview with Matt Dean, Nigel uses 'we' rather than 'I' which is significant.

    Well after all that speculation it ended up with the bloke everyone thought it would be. Be interesting to see how much control he actually has. I do think we might win on Saturday if he can make the players believe in themselves again. As he has watched a few games already he surely has an idea of who he would play and how. I like the fact we have another English manager who will obviously be able to communicate better with the players.

    Just seen a ****ing muppet interviewed on Look North about the Adkins appointment: "He an't done much good wherever he's been, so we'll be going down."

    Give me strength...

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him play Evandro.

    3rd behind Wolves and Ipswich. I think they are on 40 and 35 goals (with us on 34).

    Nigel Adkins has been talking about the playing styles and systems he may implement as the Tigers’ new Head Coach bids to spark an upturn in the team’s form.
    Speaking to Tigers TV on Thursday, he said: “At this moment in time, we need to get some points on the board and we should always look to win.
    “The way I’ve always looked to go is to build from the goalkeeper, to play through the thirds, to get wide, penetrate and to get crosses into the box, to look to score goals and there are different ways of going about that.


    no **** Sherlock - ground breaking stuff here - we're gonna try to win

    this is the Ehab bit - get the ball wide, cross it and score goals - ffs what a ****ing muppet - crossing the ball to score a goal - enlightening - who knew

    You are so right, he should just have come out and said we are going down, but in style. Give the new guy a break.

    I certainly wouldn't have told the world's media that our tactic was to pass the ball to someone to score a goal - seriously - all he needed to do was tell us he was looking forward to working with the players - that we needed to tighten up at the back, that we needed to maintain concentration for the full 90 minutes and that he was confident that we could start moving up the league and that he's looking forward to Saturday - nothing else for now
