    Anybody who wants to lay even 0.1% of the blame on our relegation at Neil Adam''s door needs to find a bridge and jump off.I

    struggle even to blame Hughton, wasn''t his job to sack himself. The

    majority of fans knew this was going to happen, they were watching us

    implode in slow motion. The board need to look at themselves,

    and we need to look at them. I''d like to know whether they have ever had

    a vote on the subject of changing manager, and whether Stephen Fry was

    given a vote, and how or why anybody would ever think it a good idea for

    a group of people who are mostly clueless about football (some by

    admission) to be given a vote on that subject. If the decision to stick with Hughton was

    not taken by the board, then I''d like to know who did make that

    decision, and if it was McNally then I think he owes us an explanation

    as to why he didn''t go with the consensus of the fans and change manager

    before the transfer window.If it wasn''t McNally then I''d like to know who did make the decision, and why they made it. I''d also like to know why after having made the decision to stick with Hughton we didn''t then invest in the squad in January, despite being told there was money available, when all of our relegation rivals invested in players - including Fulham who brought in Holtby, twice instrumental in their wins against us this season. This season has been a disaster, but whatever way you look at it the blame leads back to the board for failing to recognise what most fans had by the end of November.  Serious questions have to be asked as to whether the board, or whoever they delegate football decisions to, are qualified to run the football side of a football business.Disaster.

    Fer needs to be taken off before he gets sent off.Not sure what else needs to happen but Hoolahan offers composure in the final third.Redmond''s decision making still letting him down, but balls over the top to a pacey player looks like part of our game plan and we don''t have anybody else to play that role unless he wants to take a punt on Murphy.Alternatively could go proper two up front and bring Hooper on.Hope there is a Plan B, is a pleasure to watch positive attacking football again, but Magath is no mug and will have sussed us by now.... this game is a bit like a game of chess.

    BroadstairsR, the defence worries me a bit too.But if it is true that we have scrapped inverted wingers, then perhaps RVW is the right choice (headers).As for Pilkington, I think this tells us all what has been pretty clear for a while - he has had enough and wants out, will be sold in the summer. Pilks has looked fed up ever since Swansea and Liverpool moves fell through (rumoured but likely true).

    A lot of people have speculated that McNally has been holding out for a manager in the summer. The most popular theory is waiting for Lennon, or waiting for Malky to settle with Tan.Here''s another one for you... Roy Hodgson.Two facts:1) Formerly employed by McNally.2) Friends with Delia SmithAnd possibly not in a job after June.

    Lakey....

    Hughton was compared with Lambert and didn''t measure up.

    Adams will be compared with Hughton.

    I saw an interview with Alex Ferguson just before he retired and the interviewer said "no manager in the world will want to be the man who replaces Fergie, they will want to be the man who replaces the man that replaced Fergie".

    Adams is the man who replaces the man that replaced Lambert.

    I think you are being a bit facetious though, it is obvious that I am making clear reference to Hughton''s negative communication which focused on the strengths of other teams and seldom praised individuals.

    I can both compare Hughton to Lambert in that respect, I can compare Adams with Hughton, and I can also point out that so far Adams seems to signal a return to the way that Lambert used to motivate players.

    We all know that it isn''t a change welcomed by you, but it is a very welcome change with me.

    “He is a fantastic player and if he is on the pitch and gets enough of the ball then on his day he can win you a game" - Adams on Hoolahan

    “In terms of changing the line-up it is up to the players to force their way in" - Adams on squad players

    "He’s an excellent player and the more players we’ve got fit the better.” - Adams on Fer

    “I have spoken to him and he is a fantastic young man who desperately wants to play football. That is exactly the type of attitude we want" - Adams on E Bennett

    Shades of Lambert.

    "What on Earth has Becchio done to deserve such optimism?"

    True, but what has he done to deserve such pessimism?

    I think its too late for him now, must be massively ring rusty, but what has he had.... 2 starts since arriving 15 months ago?

    It is true that he has had no chances to impress. Considering we were prepared to wait 20 games for Elmander to start looking half decent, surely Becchio was worth more than 2 starts?

    I don''t think we will see either Elmander or Becchio start another game..... Adams will give Hoolahan a free role behind RVW or Hooper (hopefully Hooper), and we will see what a #10 is supposed to do.

    We''ve had a #10 at the club all along, I''m willing to put a tenner on Hoolahan being given a free role for the first time since Lambo was here.
