Match Day Thread Notts Forest v Hull City

we literally have to hope for a miracle with adkins,
pathetically useless manager
we'd be better with jan molby

 

His spells with scunny and soton say otherwise.

 

like i said
he had the best southampton side in history, almost every single one of that side became premier league regulars

and he had gary hooper at scunthorpe,hooper was like the kane of his team
but take that away and adkins is useless,

 

Go to bed brady.

 

but it's true
he is what you call ' the luck of the draw'
adkins is worse than parkinson
i remember lallana absolutely tearing us apart in the away game

adkins is imho the worst manager of hull city since molby
he is useless

 

Three grandchildren and myself would have cost 4 x £18 which is £72, which was the cheapest tickets cost. No highly selective involved.

It helps of you actually calculate the cost of the number of tickets instead of only 75% of them and then tell people they have got it wrong.

 

Lambo only quotes 75% of the cost. Myself plus 3 grandchilden comes to 4 x £18 which is £72. He only calculated the cost of 3 of them. So either he didn't read it properly, thinks one would get in for free or tickets cost £13.50 each, a pricing band I haven't seen.

 

It is a moot pointbanyway as one of them doesn't like football which is why I normally quote a price for myself and 2 of them. As I did when comparing the cost of taking them to watch us play Leeds against that which Wolves charged. Again it would have been £72, £24 × 3, against a total of £25 To take the 2 youngest and myself at Wolves.
No one ever pulls up Ehab on this when he spouts about how cheap we are.
He is the most selective in his prices, quoting the lowest cost for a game using the membership scheme.
The membership scheme with its relatively high prices for on the day tickets discourages walk customers. Not just for our club. I have mentioned before about a Wednesday fan who goes in my local who used to be a season pass holder but works most Saturdays now so no longer has one. I was saying to him how their crowds hadn't gone up much when they were on a good run. He said it was no surprise. Someone where he worked couldn't go when we played Arsenal in PL so he bought his ticket off him. It cost £30. He had gone to Wednesday against Derby and a ticket behind the goal in the Kop End was £42.

 

Certainly can't see a win today, best we can hope for is a draw I fear, which frankly is not good enough at this stage.

 

Is the defence doing enough to win us league points?

 

What about his spells with Reading and Sheffield United and to date - us?

 

Apart from a few there aren't any managers who haven't been sacked.

Hes no pep or mourinho that's a fact.

He's here with a squad he didn't choose. He's just had little to no say in getting in his own players in, in the window just gone.
Dunno what people expect really.

 

He's doing a worse job than Slutsky.

 

I remember a lot of people stood up for the Allams initially until the penny dropped, I think if the penny hasn't dropped about Adkins yet with a few people it will very soon

 

Better than Slutsky given people begged for him to be sacked.

Especially now Ehab has even admitted Slutsky had no choice over the players as they have a seperate structure for signing players.

I agree with you on one thing Adkins clearly isn't a terrible manager as he had good spells in his career and was sacked at Southampton wrongly, since then he hasn't done well. But his job at Scunny was excellent. He just came here and he doesn't have a squad, and I don't think the squad suits how he wants to play. Given that though he has done terribly since getting here, and I have a preference for Slutsky who at least gave it a go. Since he has got here though Adkins has made terrible decision after terrible decision.

 

The Slutsky vs Adkins comparison isn't useful - they are both crap

The only difference is entertainment whereby under Sluts we lost 2-3 and drew 2-2 so we got more goals per game

On their relative courses, both would take us down, Slutsky won't be blamed for this, Adkins will partially at least.

Ehab is blameless, he cares about the club, the philosophy and the non 'AFC' badge

 

I agree about the difficult decision Adkins is in and the tough job he has . My problem is nearly after every game when people say he's getting there , things are changing , it's about to click , etc, etc ..... it might not be his fault , but things are absolutely nowhere near getting sorted or about to click , even if it's not his fault
