Can fellow supporters inform me ? where were we in the league this time last year with that selfish centre forward who got 30 goals?

And just to stir things a bit - I see Vines scored twice today - and so did Summers! And for good measure Byatt put one away as well!

Can we stop going on about Dan Summers, he's gone so lets just get on with it. Another striker will come along at some stage and start banging goals in for us, maybe it will be Jake or Gareth, who knows. Summers didn't arrive with a big reputation and some on here didn't think he was good enough when he first came, nobody knew he would be so good.
Oh, and last November we were up in the play off positions............then hardly won a game till April.

Its no good being in a play off position in November, then being relegation candidates in May, as was the case last season. The football played in that period was nearly as bad as what we,ve seen this season, and that was with a 30 goal striker. Frank hasn't had his chance yet, he's had 4 months and he's learning on the job which isn't ideal I admit, but let him have a proper chance and lets see where we are at the end of the season. We actually played some good stuff yesterday and on another day could have scored a hatfull, and yes, I know Walton could have done as well, so I left the game with some optimism that we might string a few wins together and start climbing up the table.
Theres lots wrong with this club but Adkins has his model and it isn't going to change. He seems to like bargain basement management appointments, when a little more spent on an experienced manager could make a big difference. Tanner got two seasons, at least give Frank a bit more of a chance than this.

Good comments Andy especially about Adkins model …not sure we were relegation candidates ever though but we all see things differently!! my point is this (or at least one of them!) Frank was at the club with Tanner who in fact brought him in . He saw first hand what worked and what didn't ….Tanner was learning on the job with Moriarty and in hind sight would no doubt do things differently now especially after November when he lost a key player, a goalkeeper, which added to the poor run .
Now if he (Frank) was there when it was working and was also there when it wasn't, why not tinker with the bits that weren't and show his mate Tanner how it should be done rather than rip it up get rid of excellent players, at the same time bin the notion of bringing through the academy players the life blood of any club like ours . If he had added to the bits that were working that would be the business model way surely and make an impression in your first 4 months . My view and a number of other fellow players is that Frank does not have a coaching clue, he was found out by players that had played at a higher level and that is why he had to get an almost totally new set of players in problem is Frank needs someone around him to show him the way (or take the blame) Hamms left because of this and I reckon a quiet word with the new coach would identify a similar view after just a few weeks.
Not sure if i am on a hiding here but are the fans happy now 4 months in with the football being played is it comparable to 2 years ago ? Not for me.
