Thanks for that feel a bit better I guess I was just lucky in the first place for having two decent supervisors. I'm self-funded so moving with them wasn't an option. Believe me I would if I could! I'll just have to plod through and hope for the best. This forum is really helpful though!

Hi. I just wondered if anyone has been in the same kind of situation as me? For the past 2 years (Masters and 1st year of PhD) the supervisors I had were brilliant and I got on really well with them. I now have two new supervisors because they both decided to move universities.

What I have found (and one of my original supervisors did warn me about this) is that they are both trying to steer me in completely different directions with which literature I should be using, and the theoretical position I should be taking. There is also a complete lack of structure with one of them unwilling to comment on any written work and the other seems to be unable to respond to emails. I could go on forever but overall the whole experience has left me feeling miserable, alone and frustrated. I've put in so much work up until now and I'm scared now that the whole thing will be a disaster!
Does anyone have any advice?
