    It's a possibility until it's impossible. But I'd say highly unlikely

    This overly positive manner really winds a lot of blades up. He says they've played well when everyone else at the game thinks they were ****. Of course they'd moan if he wasn't positive. We still have an outside chance but it's more likely for us than them.

    It's started winding me up to be honest.

    I've always rated Adkins but he's lost the plot at the minute. I admittedly listen to radio sheffield a couple of times of week, and it's like the bloke is on acid all the time. He's just so positive about everything even after a defeat. Darren Ferguson is the polar opposite which I think is more a contributing factor to their poor form rather than the kick up the arse they need. Danny Wilson consistently puts the other side down, which can be frustrating when his side have lost. Carlos Carvalhal knows about 3 English words, and 2 of them are different pronunciations of the word reality.

    Well they're 9 off the play-offs with 15 to play for, we're 6 off with 18 to play for. Hopefully after tomorrow that will just be 3 off with 15 to play for. In that case it's very much back on

    Interviewing Adkins must be like pulling teeth; he never answers the question, just gives some vague response mildly related to the question. Think it's a sign of someone who is under pressure as he just gives the answer he wants to give

    They are screwed big time.
    I think they have about 17 or 18 players out of contract this summer.

    Wow! And as we know it takes a long time to rebuild and get good results

    That's also why I think Villa and Bolton will struggle, at least at first, next season

    I don't mean struggle as in relegation contenders but I don't think they'll be challenging next season. Think they'll be like QPR have been this season
