Time will tell.. I have wondered if there is pressure on Derek Adams from Simon Hallett now to adapt things to improve the on pitch entertainment value. He has made quite a few public references re improving spectator experience.
Risky to lean on a successful manager though.
Pure silly season speculation by me of course.

I was referring to that You Tube video clip only. The number of misses were significant.

My brother mused that Adams style last year was a means to an end to achieve the goal of getting out of league 2 as quickly as possible. The signings so far are less physical and potentially more attacking in their style.
Time will tell of course but I doubt Adams would accept interference in his style. I think league 1 is a different animal to league 2 and Adams will build a team (or rather start to) he thinks has the best chance of success with the budget he has.
Indeed i don't believe he is a man who would take kindly to interference and i think here he probably has none, in fact i believe he has a board who respect and believe in him and give him his budget and let him crack on with what he wants and deserves.jimbo_the_green":1zt2orwa said:
For all there b*tch*ng about now he's signed for us looked like he was quite handy for them from the highlights in this game 1 goal and 2 assists

"2 assists"? One was a simple ten yard ball cut back for Ryan Harley to smash in from distance. Hardly evidence of his creative genius! Fans are a bit too obsessed with stats nowadays. When it's the likes of Carey or Phillippe Coutinho placing a perfectly weighted creative pass through for a running forward to bury, or curling a lofted cross on to a striker's bonce - I get why assists are discussed. When they do it week in week out and make a difference, the stats paint a picture.
But "He got 2 assists!" Really? Was that a pass any player on our books last season couldn't have played? I think even Dorel could have comfortably picked Harley out from there. I don't see what that 'assist' tells us about Grant.

So you conveniently ignore the fact that he made space to receive a pass , then took the ball and a defender wide before cutting a simple 10 yard ball back to Harley who was in space to have a shot on goal .

Yes and in the previous footage posted you can watch him destroy Chester City reserves in January 2009. Mouthwatering

Your post makes it seem like you have absolutely no idea of how the game is played. Stats are the underlying facts of a player or team, and the fact you challenge this is astonishing. How on earth do scouts judge a player if they have no stats to go by?

Another fascinating input UTL , you should feel very pleased with yourself
From what I can gather, he was mostly used as a substitute for Exeter.
If Carey leaves, Argyle will need a couple of high quality signings to avoid a struggle. That will take money.

I thought Scouts generally go and watch a player to judge him. Bit old School.
I presume quite a chunk of budget is tied up in our offer to Carey which would be freed up in the event he goes elsewhere. If he does go we need to invest in some quality additions.gaspargomez":2kut9v2b said:
May be being harsh but this does feel like a squad addition rather than a big first team upgrade but DA generally knows what he's doing. Three times he's played at this level and three times relegated. Hopefully fourth time lucky!
