Was that supposed to be realism Mickey?, reads like utopianism to me.
That reads less like pragmatism and more like you want both your cake and to eat it. Sure we'd all like fantastic free flowing football but realism, pragmatism dictates that results win over style every which way you look at it.
I love free flowing attacking football, as a neutral Man City are a pure joy to watch right now. But that ain't gonna happen for us with this squad, either with Adams or nay. We're in a relegation battle now and no manager is going to come in and radically reset the ethos. His football was the epitome of binary but the last time we started a season so poorly the Pulis way saved our season, if it's gonna happen again it'll be by the same method.
Your post does not in any way shape or form suggest even a hint of realism. A realist would accept the poo position we find ourselves in and deal with it. He'd pragmatically forsake utopian dreams and live with both the reality and the method required to remedy it.
Have you been to the last two seasons of home games under DA? I mean each and every one?
You say l'm not being realistic. I'm describing what l see on the pitch at HP every other Saturday.
I wasn't even talking about free flowing football. I'm just talking about functional football. E.g. Doing the basics which we can't even get right.
You mentioned Tony Pulis. Yes his brand of football down here was dire. Yet there is one massive difference between his style and Adams. Argyle didn't look like conceding. They actually stopped crosses into the box and shots on goal. Under Adams we never look like keeping a clean sheet and yet still play negative tactics.
I'm afraid you have entrenched yourself in a view that actually devours itself of realism. The sh!t postion as you say is because of his tactics and management. Something you neglect to accept.
If you honestly think Argyle won't get relegated under Adams this season then so be it. Have no idea where the goals are coming from and as we don't keep clean sheets that 2 goals needed to win each game on most occasions. So you tell me how we are going to get out of this mess realistically without goal scoring strikers or midfielders? How we are going to get out of this mess with a team that creaks defensively every time the opposition go forward.
Understand your loyalty to the manager but at some point you will realise how bad the situation is because of his negative style and tactics.
