    I don't think he has lost the side but his selection is awful, far too open.

  • Shambles would be a very kind way to describe that second half.
    God only knows what goes on between games on the training pitch but it certainly ain’t working.

    Why do we support a club that’s in a permanent state of turmoil ?

    60 years next January SHG, at my wits end.
    My first game was in 1961
    Wow I thought I was old 😉

    it's obvious that Adkins just can't get this group playing for him .. he was a bad appointment and nothing will improve until he's gone .. It is as plain and simple as that .. whether Sandy has the guts and/or cash to change things we will know very shortly .. the next two games are against teams in good nick, I doubt we'll get even a point against Fleetwood or Rotherham

    Didn't some on here say "don't judge him on the first few games, judge him after 10 games"

    Well here we fucking are lads

    Seven if we lose to Fleetwood.

    5 points (well 4 points and half a dozen goals) from safety already. Yikes.

    According to a player Adkins barely says a word in the dressing room before the game or at half time.

    Ive been hoping NA would turn it around, but watching that tonight, even after we scored I wasn't comfortable we would win it. Now its time for him to move on, who comes in I don't know, but this can't continue.
    Curbs and Deano speaking lots of sense, I agree with every word.
    Good night.

    We were fine for the first 35 minutes.  We look so unfit it's unbelievable.  That's when players make mistakes, get caught out of position, hoof the ball.  When they are tired.  It's a fucking disgrace.

    And they have a game in hand so could be 5! And if Doncaster win their game in hand we'll be bottom.

    Alright, ten games in and we are second bottom. It's grim grim grim.

    Pre-Gillingham I said anything less than five points from Gills, Pompey, Bolton and I'd be in the Adkins out camp. Unfortunately that has come to pass with only 2 points.



    Is the Rotherham game postponed for internationals yet? We need to target the 16th (away @ Lincoln) as the reset to our season with a new man in charge otherwise this could get really ugly really quickly.
    Rotherham isn’t officially postponed, but it will be, so I make you right on targeting the Lincoln match as the second “first match” of the season

    I can believe that. I think his coaching team were the tactical men and he was the Mr Motivator. In fact this has become crystal clear.

    Same one as before?

    So why didn't we let him bring his own team in? 

    Jackson's set-pieces aren't exactly Premier League quality are they?

    Bloody saves it for 7 minute monologues on Valley Pass speaking to Minto and talking nonsense

    Our defending is a complete and utter joke. No idea how it has become so bad but something needs to change and I include the entire first team coaching staff in that statement as well as the manager.

    Curbs has just said "Excuses are now gone!" we have to win next game...end of! Deano agreeing.

    Minto: "Still waiting for Nigel to come out".

    Sorry Scott, looks like you'll have to fill in for another 10 minutes still!

    (And if you're looking to fill time, Deano isn't the man to have next to you!)

    Adkins has to go but the players are an utter disgrace too. There are several of them I hope I never see in a Charlton shirt again. 
    You mean Laurel and Hardy our left and right backs?

    The worst part about this purgatory is if we continue to doss about in the relegation zone we again won't get our recruitment done early next season either "not knowing what division we'll be in"

    Feel very sorry for CBT, Leko and Davison who gave everything and remain our best attacking 3.
    First 30 mins we looked genuinely dangerous every time it went wide. At last, wide men that go past their man and deliver on the money crosses.
    Best front 3 settled and must start on Saturday.
    It’s the engine room that continues to let us down IMHO, not helped by defensive errors, once again by Matthews for the equaliser.
    We have enough bodies and enough experience in midfield but no single midfielder good enough to be a shoo in for the starting 11, so you have to “platoon” them when tiredness becomes a factor.
    And (for whatever reason) tiredness was obviously setting in before half time.
    Subs should have been used more proactively and earlier in 2nd half or even at half time to try to maintain our shape and discipline in the middle of the park to try to prevent the yawning gaps appearing yet again.
    We might still have lost the game but the margin and manner was down to NA not using the bench well enough IMO.

    and also time for NA to say this is my team and this is my shape.

    What makes you think he hasn’t lost the side?

    Ignoring the RD era jokers, I never thought I’d see a less inspiring team that an Phil Parkinson one but Nicey Nigel has really excelled. Sangaard needs to act now before the noise starts turning towards him.

    If players are doing that then they really need to stop pointing the finger. 

    Whoever you know J Block sounds like a whingeing bastard
