    Excellent appointment for the club and a perfect fit given the rebuilding of the club .. he been there and done it at this level and his CV is the best off anyone that was mentioned .... see people complaining but realistically who was out there better then Nigel Adkins ...... plus JJ will become a better coach and future manager under Adkins then he would under 10 years with Bowyer ...

    Hope much of that is incorrect.

    Behave Shabby or I'll get Kojak to come back and poke you in the eye with his lollipop.

    My only defence of Adkins is that he has not had that full squad to choose from until about 4 matches ago.
    Shockingly, some players are still not match-fit.

    But we do need to sort out our strongest XI and play them regularly. Minimal changes, not half the team each game.

    I agree, we are crying out for some stability on and off the pitch. I don't think changing the Manager at this point would help. I agree there have been too many changes of personnel on the pitch.

    Agree with all of that. Nigel has made some horrible errors, and letting Cheltenham overrun us for 45 minutes without making a change was one of the stand outs. But I can remember thinking when the transfer window closed it was a good enough set of players but was going to be hard to squeeze into a starting eleven. Nigel's joc is to do that but he seems to find it equally hard, so we are swinging around with wholesale changes. That this many players are unfit is also pretty poor. But we need to get a strating line up and formation started as @lardiman said, and play to our strengths, not try to adapt to every team that come knocking.
    Having said all that, I don't see a change of manager now as being anything other than another set back to the season - stability on the pitch isn't going to be helped by perpetually swapping managers, and all the people screaming for a change seem to think either Jackson will become an instant success, or that Sandgaard should pay out for another big name - hardly the stuff of financial stability. We squeezed a relatively good second half out of saturday - it would be nice to see the lessons being learned and the line up for the second half being adjusted for Bolton.

    Usually when the Upper North sing Jacko's song he gives them a wave, but not yesterday. It would have been disappointing if he had, they just been calling for Adkins' head. If he came in he'd still have the same squad of players anyway.
