Whilst that sounds grand January is 3 and a half Months away and more importantly a shed load of games away! We could well be a sinking ship by then If our pointage doesn't improve. I don't think we will or can afford to wait until Jan to address the obvious goal scoring issue.

So the question is why hasn't he recognized those failings before if he is such a great manager?

The thread was called 'the competitiveness of league one' here:
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=100288&start=13
Replying to a thread about the quality of our signings not being that great so far I wrote
Rob_GT4":328g6euz said:I've been surprised by the quality some of the 'lesser' teams have got let alone the teams towards the top end (Blackburn have some ridiculous players for this level). I would go so far as to say that actually our squads is one of the weakest I've seen so far and is pretty much still just a good league 2 squad, but luckily we've got Derek Adams who will no doubt get the most out of them.
to which you replied
Balham_Green":328g6euz said:So you have assessed all the squads have you? You have an in depth knowledge of all lower league players? I dont think you know what you are talking about.
Going round on this forum telling informed people that they don't know what they're talking about, and ending up being wrong is embarrassing and abusive. Still I bit my tongue and replied:
Rob_GT4":328g6euz said:Excuse me?
I may not be an expert but I'd say I have a pretty good grasp yes, it's you that doesn't know what you're talking about.
Anybody reasonably savvy that also goes on general league 1 forums with numerous fans from all clubs commenting would know and have a much better idea of the bigger picture than the insular view you get from a forum focussed on one club like this.
None of us know for sure how we well we'll make the step up, but I stand by everything that I've said and I absolutely believe Derek Adams will need to overachieve with this squad.
And everything I've said is spot on. But still:
Balham_Green":328g6euz said:So you get you 'facts' from other fans forums? :facepalm: Who's signed Messi then?
I can't be bothered to transcribe entire conversations, but I will post a few more of your gems, purely just from this thread too mind
Balham_Green":328g6euz said:Load of nonsense on here about avoiding relegation, finishing 18th etc. We are Argyle not Wimbledon.
Balham_Green":328g6euz said:Fourthly Adams has been successful wherever he has been. He is a shrewd operator in the transfer market, plans meticulously and knows how to win games
Balham_Green":328g6euz said:There is very little of a step up between L. 2 and 1. Sawyer, McCormick, Fox, Jervis, Carey, Threkeld, Ainsworth have all played at a good level.
and it wasn't just me either, other people commented on your demeanour on the thread:
Adam_R":328g6euz said:No place for reasoning here now Xy, BG has joined the party, shot everyone down and made his view known!!
So in future before you go around slagging people off with uneducated ill-informed opinions and drivel, think about when you do a complete u-turn how it'll come back to bite you on the ass.
That's me done.

As soon as we get near the opposition goal we are like rabbits in headlights.If we keep clean sheets but also fail to score we will be relegated,simples.

He did recognise our failings. Unfortunately, his efforts to remedy them weren't rewarded with his attempted signings wanting to commit to us. Money ? Location ? Moaning Fans ? Pick your own reasons.

I think Argyle are the only club in the UK with some fans who might dare to to complain or moan as you put it.......
