    For those that think he may be given one last game on Tuesday and will be gone if we lose, what will happen if we draw?

    If we play like we did yesterday that isnt a question that will need answering. Accrington will be well up for this game and I can only see a defeat I'm afraid

    If he's such a nice bloke why hasn't he held his hands up and walked?
    Id imagine that large smile and positivity and fresh green walks in the morning is linked to his salary!

    He'll be around next Saturday as well

    The best thing to happen today is the fact we've drawn a Non-League team in the FA Cup and at home - If he were to lose that then he'd surely have to be moved on - Only downside is we've got four League games before then.

    We know with almost certainty that even if we were playing well we will get knocked out, the fact we’re a shambles at the moment wouldn’t even make it an upset!!.

    Not sure Sandgaard has the money or balls to sack him & I don't think he's going to resign. 

    We're stuck with him I'm afraid

    Might be very costly in the long run if we get relegated to League 2.

    Cut your loses now TS otherwise your Premier League dream might be just that.....a dream.

    If they can’t keep us out of a relegation fight in L1 I think we can safely assume that all of TS’s bluster of the Premier League and Europe was exactly that all along … who would have thought it!

    Chris Hughton would be my first choice, assuming he'd be up for it.
    And who would you want as manager?
    Give that to Hughton n all. Assuming he can still walk
    I think you need to read up on Hughton’s time at Forest. Not sure Arter would be pleased to see him. 
    Think you better read up on our time over the last couple of years mate. We're not exactly a glowing opportunity for anyone who's ripping up trees in anywhere else in recent years......

    Thin the term beggars can't be choosers would be more than apt
    OK ‘mate’.
    Ain't we friends anymore then? Sad about that.
    So strange.

    A draw will be enough to do that, another loss on Tuesday is the only thing that might force TS's hand.

    It's unrealistic to compare Bowyer taking over from Robinson with the current situation

    When Robinson left we were 9th, 5 places from the playoffs, so underperforming slightly, but nothing like the current scenario. Bowyer improved us a bit, and we finished 6th before limping out of the playoffs to one season wonders Shrewsbury.

    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?
    Good old Col probably is.

    So should TS do nothing then and  watch his investment going down the toilet? The reason you haven’t seen one name to get excited about is because Adkins is still in a job. All we have had is names mentioned by posters on here - the usual suspects - Curbishley, JJ and Euell….  Also, how do you know there is nobody to take over? Do you not think Sandgaard has not been working on a plan as to who he would replace Adkins with? 

    Sacking Adkins is not rash at all - it’s the sensible thing to do. 
    How dare you question Colin?

    Jacko and Euell are part of this shit set up. We need a complete clear out.

    Getting rid of Adkins can't do us any harm? We can't really get much worse.

    I wonder when Thomas next plans to fly over ? 

    Can he fit in a visit between his Las Vegas appearances ?

    Adkins and unfortunately a tarnished by association Jackson must go. An god forbid the Curbs gang , get their way,  For me ask Chris Powell to take a contract to keep us up, with this shit squad, and re- evaluate at end of season. 

    Where was we when Powell got sacked and righty so bottom of the league .. let’s not forget his reaction to fans calling for his head at Sheffield 

    What did he do at Huddersfield and Southend poor manager who had one good year 


    You are talking out of your bottom(as usual). For a start, the next season we were a whisker away from finishing in the play-offs.

    I think that we have a massive problem.
    In my opinion the squad that Adkins & co have assembled is probably the poorest group of players that I can recall.
    We cannot score & we cannot defend.

    With the exception of possibly Leko, Lee & Gilby the remainder are stealing a living, they also appear to be largely disinterested.

    I honestly don’t think any manager could achieve anything with this squad.

    Adkins and Jackson have to go, BUT who replaces him? That really is the million dollar question.

    It is a thankless task for any manager to achieve any sort of success with this squad.

    By the time we we reach January and the new transfer window we may we’ll be cut adrift.

    That the thing isn’t it? - he’s the sort of bloke you really don’t want to dislike, but can’t help it. He is dragging the team down. He seems a decent man, yet won’t do the decent thing and resign. 
    And lose a pay off, why should he?

    Bottom line is it should be taken out of his hands anyway. TS needs to act - not sure why he hasn’t already.

    I still think that with a change of formation, we can be more competitive, as there are enough options in the squad. Our 4231/433 isn't working as we're being slaughtered down the flanks. With 4 attacking players who can't defend on the pitch, it can easily look more like 424

    Change to a Curbs/Powell 442 or 4411 with one winger and 3 midfielders and we look more solid, e.g.

    Keeper

    RB Lavelle Famewo LB

    Clare/Morgan  Arter/Dobson  Gilbey/Morgan  CBT/Leko

    Lee/Leko/Washington

    Stockley/Davison

    Adkins has 100% control of the tactics, he’ll never find a club where he has 100% control on recruitment, rarely happens now 
    And rightly so.
