Cant believe his interview after the game,saying he was happy with a clean sheet and it will get better .The Adams of old would have been fuming and had the players in tomorrow for training.I thought that was what made him a winner last time.

I know we are only 12 games in, but this is relegation form....draw and lose at home, lose away.

today was truly dreadful

And he just sits there, think I saw him once during the game. Adams is not a tactical genius or master coach, he's an up and at 'em type of manager. If he doesn't have that energy or can't instil it in his players any more, there's not a lot left.

Right, why is every opposing manager up in the tech area shouting instructions and encouragement and adams seems to have lost that passion that was a large part of his leadership qualities of old
 




I was worried pre-match when he said about winning at home; "it WILL happen, I'm hoping it'll be tomorrow against Hereford".

Now, I might agree with that when playing blackjack or throwing dice, as if relying on probabilities, fatalist eventuality.

Fatalism;

All the time Adams is f***ing around with Virgo...............and having the ex pub team player Thomson, as captain, we will continue to fail.............as we have failed to prepare.................properly.

My heart says give him time, he is an Albion legend. My head and the evidence suggests that he is a spent force, aimless and clueless, with no idea of a way out of this mess and neither the confidence or energy to find one.

DK thought that he was bringing in a big no-nonsense, high-profile personality that would unify the club and have the media eating out of his hand. We find ourselves with something quite different, as he has changed.

I am not a habitual moaner, I have never booed the team in 37 years, but I can't think of a situation like this where a manager has turned it round. I would be so happy to be proved wrong.

That sums up how it is

I am confident he will get it right eventually. We should have won today, but it will take time for the team to settle.

should is nice word but time to deal in facts we didn't win and have not won or performed at home in the league this season. Want him to turn it around obviously but at the moment looks void of ideas and that is very worrying. Tactics are wrong and everyone can see that, brings in short term loans in the hope that it turns things around and that clearly is not working and during the game the only thing that happens is Virgo changes position

I'm wondering how long it will take some people to wake up and smell the coffee. We are relegation candidates now, and after being unable to put a goal past the worst team in the division, I'm struggling to see where our next point is going to come from.

Peterborough Away?
Hartlepool Away?
Leicester Home?

:nono:

Why the f*** does Adams presist with Virgo at all costs.


..... and in all positions except his best one.

With no keeper on the bench it really is only a matter of time before an injury to FDM sees Virgo going in goal.

Watching the predictable way we play, one wonders what happens in training. Somehow I can't see White and Booker as inspirational coaches. Perhaps there would be hope for Micky II if he had a young coach with good ideas.

I don't remember him being like that at all. Adams used to mainly sit on the bench - it was always Cork or Booker standing up by the dugout.
