Nigel has obviously been a good manager in the past but sadly that’s gone . Time to move on and get a new manager/coach who can inspire the team . I appreciate finding the right man isn’t going to be easy . But needs must .
Think I saw this mentioned elsewhere, but what’s the point of giving him the next game or next 2 games. Say we win one or both? 2 wins in 12 would suggest there will be no magic turnaround.
Tactically inept , there was a point in the 2nd where we had three consecutive goal kicks where the ball never touched one of our players before they shot wide and so it continued
If he doesn’t go now then TS starts to become the problem. I don’t want protests and I hate how people communicate with him on Twitter, but it’s becoming a big concern that he won’t take action when needed.
There no one out there to take over … that’s why TS won’t do anything rash …. Not seen one name yet that gets you excited
So you're happy with Adkins then?
What’s the point of getting rid when there no one ready better to take over .. your end up in the same position in 4 months time .. Adkins was the right man less then 12 ago , in fact he was the right man fir the job at the start of this season after impressing in the 11 games he had last season .. … tonight Ipswich and Pompey fans are calling for their manager heads .. it’s getting ridiculous managers just not getting time to build a team .. gone are the days a manager gets 5 years or more to do his job .

Okay, let's keep Adkins for 5 years then and see who his replacement is when we're struggling to survive in the Conference South after a 4-0 defeat by Maidstone United
Personally I think he’s got the next two games. Tuesday and Saturday. A heavy defeat at The Stadium of Light, which is on the cards might well seal his fate. Tuesday he needs a performance.
Problem is with Thomas’ approach as it is, Nige could still be lumbering along like that in 2 months time, cobbling a win in between two defeats and a draw all the time, and still be in the bottom three
I think Adkins knows he’s standing in the doorway of the last chance saloon. Thomas has I think acted honourably by not pushing the button already but I’m confident he knows where the button is and when to press it.
Disagree, the time to press it was a few weeks ago.
Perhaps. Need to remember that when Adkins was appointed that TS was certain that Nigel was the right man. Finding out that he’s not won’t be an easy process for TS and that why I think he’s been patient. Having said that you don’t make as much money as Thomas has in business without having enough sense to know when to act. Like I said. I think he has two games.
Plus TS will want to do it properly .. not tell him he sacked while he in the team coach coming back from the game ….
Anyone who knows their squad would have realised that with the disallowed goal 3 mins from the end, Stockley should have been brought back to defend and play with one up front to protect the point.
Nads doesn’t know his best team and his formation and tactics are woeful. It seems he has no game management skills either.

Tell him before he gets on the coach and make him get the train home

Jesus wept. Yes, let’s give NA 5 years to build us into a club that yo-yos between League Two and League One. Progress, eh?
I’ve stolen this from Twitter as I completely agree with the point made
“Don't really get this 'nice guy' thing. From Day 1 he's seemed aloof and self-regarding to me, and lacking any real interest in the club. Surprised how many people seem to mistake a positive attitude for an engaging one”
I’ve hated his attitude since the results fell off a cliff. Refusing to go to the fans, constant excuses, hiding from the truth and no apologies to the paying & traveling fans… it’s all an act to me, his persona and the cracks have been showing for a while.
I was firmly against his appointment from day one I called that he was ‘Yesterday’s Man’ but it has to be ended now.
We need a fresh young, modern manager to just start again. Not bothered about a nameZ would love Ryan Lowe but the sad fact is he wouldn’t even join us now.

Could understand that if there were a few chinks of light in performances. But the are None... Nadger. ..Diddly. This side is bereft of confidence. And somehow, Super positive Nigel Adkins managed to get things so very wrong from the start of this season. It was obvious to me at the Wigan game that this group really weren't feeling it.
His flush is busted. His batteries are flat. Time to get someone to inject some sort of belief and optimism into this sorry bunch I'm afraid.

100% agree. We are looking at probably one of our lowest crowds in league history on Tuesday night against a side who enjoy sticking it to the big sides in this division. What realistically is NA going to change from today’s showing by Tuesday. Desperately need to change the culture at the club. Got a perfect storm ahead of us. We need to get this sorted ASAP, should have been resolved straight after the Bolton hammering.

He will probably make five changes then five changes again then no changes when we only lose to Sunderland by one goal. He doesn't know his best side and half of the players he picks are not fit enough. He doesn't know how to fix it and hopefully there is somebody who does or we may be starting next season in League Two.
Without a shadow of a doubt, this team have no idea how to play together. No coherent tactics, ZERO confidence.
I’ve done fleetwood and Lincoln in recent weeks and I cannot watch another minute of this team under Adkins. I won’t watch us play again until he goes.
Who would you have right now between Nigel Adkins and currently available Neil Harris?
Neither. I would keep on interviewing
I think I’d give Ainsworth the job. Done well at Wycombe on little to no money, unlucky to get relegated last season, has Wycombe back up there again, play good football.

Could Thomas work with Neil Harris? Great question though.
he sacked while he in the team coach coming back from the game ….
