    Slutsky was a clusterfuck. Adkins is getting there- there being preventing relegation. If he achieves that then we should be grateful, as it was a cast-iron certain under Slutsky.

    Why is it thought it wasn't his decision on his coaching team?

    slutsky p 20 w 4 d 7 L p f 35 a 37 pts 19
    adkins p 16 w 4 d 5 L 7 f 16 a 19 pts 17

    i can see how 19 points from 20 games massively outshines 17 points from 16 games.

    It wasn't 17 from 16 was it, and I never said massively outshines.

    I really have no idea what point you're trying to make here.

    no, i added "massively". you're cherry picking, that's all. one single result put adkins points per game average above slutsky's and you said "slutskys full 20 game stats still outshine adkins." and you did say it after it became 17 from 16. if adkins gets three points in the next four games, he'll have picked up more from 20 games than slutsky. granted it might well be less fun without all the goals.

    perhaps you could let us know what point you're trying to make, because it doesn't appear to hold water.

    Maybe I should have said outshone, if it would appease your pedantry I could edit the post for you? It was abundantly clear what I meant considering I was explaining why I used equal games played. Besides, equal games served better to answer the question that was asked anyway, and if I'd done 20 vs 15 you'd just have piped up that it wasn't a fair comparison, as happened last time.

    If you have anything else to add that isn't more nit picking waffle then feel free.

    Here's hoping the trend continues and Adkins is gone before June.

    After keeping us up, of course.

    The danger is if he does well we'll be stuck with him.

    He’s added an i to his last name. Could be a game changer for the lad.

    We'll at least both of these managers like to smile. Don't know which one has the most radiance approaching the sun shining on a Greek Island.

    it's nice to read different opinions about Leo's time at Hull City and his legacy.
    It does exist or doesn't exist?
    Who knows the truth.
    I remember a lot of unlucky late minutes (after 86 or so) under Leo, but i don't remember unlucky minutes under Adkins at all. It was straight failure mostly if it was. That's biggest difference in games under different coaches for me, but overall their both results are bad and very close to each other (let's be honest). Cheers!

    Therein lies the tale.
    Ehab's looking for immortality via The Guinness Book of World Records as his old man didn't make HRH's Honours List.
    He's a big fan of Cellino, but wants to better his record of having 45 managers in 26 years of owning football clubs.
    Heaven help us.

    Leo's soporific quotient was far lower than Nigel's.
    Both struggled with the use/abuse of the English language, Nigel had an unfair advantage. Leo admitted his limitations. Nigel spends an eternity explaining nothing worth hearing.

    Some claimed the fitness was lacking under Slutsky and that's why we folded at the end of games.

    that's one kind of guessing about fitness (as about low morale, low quality of subs, small team and so on and so on)...i've really seen bad moon rising at last minutes of some games! 10 points are lost (at least). Some examples maybe incorrect, we know about different circumstances and so on, but generally it's right and mystical horror stat it is.

    August 15. Wolverhampton. Time to concede (TTC) - 90 min. The final result is 2-3. -1 point.
    August 19. QPR. TTC - 90 min. 1-2. -1 point.
    September 23rd. Reading. TTC - 87 min. 1-1. -2 points.
    September 26. Preston. TTC - 88 min. 1-2. -1 point.
    October 14. Norwich. TTC - 90 min. 1-1. -2 points.
    October 28. Nottingham Forest. TTC - 83 min. 2-3. -1 point.
    November 18. Ipswich. TTC - 88 minutes. 2-2. -2 points.

    i think the wolves one is wrong
    they made it 3-1 in the 90th min and then we got a penalty with the massive stoppage time
