Adkins First Job

Nigel Adkins has to do one thing when he walks into the dressing room.

Whe Nigel Adkins introduces himself to the Saints squad he will have to concentrate on the most important factor in our three game losing streak since the departure of Alan Pardew and that is restoring team spirit.

The axing of Pardew clearly destroyed the morale in the camp and its now Adkins task to build up the players spirits and restore their confidence, Scunthorpe fans have spoken about how this was one of his strengths at Glanford Park, he had the ability to create a good dressing room camarderie and very few players were unhappy at the club.

Of course its now a completely different ballgame for our new manager, the type of player he will have to win over to his style and earn their respect is different from those he is used to dealing with in the past, he will of course state that a player is a player, but the reality is that in todays modern game that is not quite true and the difficulty is that if members of our squad are not happy they will be in demand to move elsewhere, so he quickly has to show them that he can work quickly to turn the side back to winning ways.
