So Adams reverted to the tactics of 5-4-1 making Shrewsbury out to be Liverpool mark II.
They already gave Argyle numerous warnings they were prepared to shoot from outside the box but the lessons weren't learnt.
Two cracking finishes today. Unfortunately, two teams that were both defensively frail produced a surprisingly low scoring game. Their keeper looked shaky at times with his handling. Their defence never seemed composed. Yet instead of taking the game to them Adams decides the best way to play against a team like this is let them have the balll, defend deep and not support your loan forward.
Adams is a dour, boring, negative manager that allows his team to try and create moments in the game that can win a game of football. However, he seems to believe the best way to attack is to defend. He believes the best way to defend is not to press the ball player. That the best way to defend is sit on your own 25 yard box. If we had pace going forward and good on the counter attack or were very strong defensively then you can understand the tactics. Yet he continues to produce a team that aren't anywhere like this and worse still that in most games can't pass or shoot very well.
Even if we were to get out of this mess, it would still bring soulless victories where we are hanging on for grim death when your playing a side who if you attacked you could score goals.
Terrible substitution and in the end his tactics cost us the game. Then when they score it takes too long to get Blissett on the field of play.
The new midfielder was very good today. However, it doesn't paper over the cracks. The side just play in a style and manner where you just wondering if Argyle can hold these teams at bay. Some of the players aren't good enough but with this manager in charge it's a brand of football that's quite embrassing to watch.
Carey's goal was a cracking effort. Argyle had one or two other decent chances but really it could of been so much more positive today if we had been on the front foot.
Positive, a word and action l feel has been lost on Derek Adams footballing philosophy.
