I don't believe there is any reluctance at all on your part, in you coming to this conclusion.
I wouldn't consider myself " blindly faithful " as you put it , however , not only do i strongly believe DA knows what he is doing , i also believe he did a good job last season and will improve on that this season.
I reckon he knows what he is doing. He'd be a pretty rubbish manager if he didn't and I am absolutely certain he has carefully considered each and every one of his signings and has clear reasons for making them.
I have no idea where in the league the team will finish but I do know that I am looking forward to the season ahead and to finding out.

He's brought in the players he believes that can do a job for him in the style that he wants. It's now a matter of putting it all together in what's left of pre season and being ready for Luton.
Will we go up? Haven't got the foggiest, but I'll be putting my usual £20 on us doing so.

I have .. I think you are wrong. So, give some good reasons that led you to your 'reluctant' conclusion.
Did you know about all of these players before he signed them?
Have you seen them all play 10+ times?
Have you managed a team to Football League success?
None of the above? :think:
Although it's not exactly the wording I would use, I understand exactly why you feel this way. Personally, I think Argyle will finish somewhere between 7th and 10th and Adams will depart, possibly before the end of the season to a League 1 Scottish club.philevs":3lrm7e4c said:
However, like you I would love to be proved wrong.
I hope you're not too surprised by the reaction to your post from the happy clappers who will not see any fault in Adams but instead, choose to blame the players. Adams got us off to a great start last season and most people were singing his praises. We then came through Xmas and the New Year with 4 straight wins and as we went into the final third of the season with a healthy lead over the 4th placed team, even I was quietly confident that we would maintain a top 3 position.
But after the way in which our season capitulated and Adams inability to do anything about it followed by the shocking display at Wembley when he was completely out-Managed by Ardley, it has left serious question marks over his ability to get Argyle out of the basement Division.
With the exception of McHugh, I am not particularly disappointed to have lost any of the players who have moved on. As for his summer signings, only time will tell but apart from Osborne and Goodwillie, a talented footballer who is probably in the last chance saloon - we appear to have signed a number of journeymen lower-league players.

Never said we would actually draw every game cus I think we will lose some as well probably including Luton at home on the first game when no doubt others on PASOTI will be campaigning for Adams out.
Just don't see the creativity, width or goal power in the squad currently.
What I do see is some big units, who will plod and might defend set pieces better than last year.
If Carey gets marked out of the game or worse injured we are fcuk3d

In my experience, an awful lot of football fans are doom and gloom merchants - true up and down the leagues and throughout history. It seems to be part of the make up
On Saturday, Hamilton Accies fans were starting on their manager *before kick-off*
