I’ll be there, as I nearly always am. Pi$$ poor tactics though are beginning to make attending feel more like a punishment than enjoyment.

We came from the division below last season and clearly had to spend a lot of the budget keeping Carey.
Our signings haven't been the best because there isn't a great budget. That's why we haven't got Billy Sharp or Paddy Madden.
What right have we got to be top half like you were all expecting?
We are in a relegation battle. We need to be happy with staying up, and stop demanding the manager's head every time we have a fifteen minute red card and we can't win after 75 mins being a player down.
I am confident we will stay up under Derek Adams and his hard to beat tactics - not the free flowing all out attacking football the deluded expect from a group of players without a goalscorer among them.

Hard to beat tactics??? We've lost 10 out of 18 leagues games!! Scored a paltry 13 goals in those 18 games and kept only 4 clean sheets.

Since when has being in the minority meant you were wrong?
Anyway, I don't know why people are going on about the run we had over a month ago that put us in our current position, unless they think the board does retrospective sackings.
We are STILL on an upward curve. One nightmare game to break a 6 match unbeaten run shouldn't lead to the hysterics on here over the last couple of days.

Hahaha 'hard to beat'
If these tactics are 'hard to beat' why do we only have 14 points from a possible 54? Doesn't seem like many clubs are finding them 'hard to beat' with a gd of minus 15.
Cue the inevitable 'you can prove anything with facts' retort
There's delusion and then there's delusion

Knibbsworth is right IMO. I'm sure the 'hard to beat' tactics he refers to are those you've seen (if you have of course) since the Blackburn game. Unlike most of the nonsense written on this thread, there is also evidence to support it - only 2 goals conceded in 5 games up until Bradford.
Personally, I hope we can set Saturday's result to one side and get that mentality back into the team. Like it or not, it's our best chance of survival this season.

Agree with you, and so do many others , look at the General Picture same tactics same mistakes the way we are going we will be relegated by Xmas.
He wants width so he brings on a full back with no pace, when he has two wingers sitting on the bench .
Adams was good for the Football club because he brought organisation to it, but you need players in the penalty area to win games not eleven players behind the ball.

That's such an over-exaggeration. If we win on Tuesday we could be as little as 1 point from coming out of the bottom four with 81 more points to play for.
We're in a relegation battle, no doubt, and our home form is abysmal - but it isn't yet a crisis situation. Prior to Saturday, form was good. Granted, another defeat on Tuesday and things will be looking significantly more grim - mostly because it's a six-pointer.
Have to say we're due a 0-0 as other posters have predicted. That does nothing to our table position nor does it appease the fans desperate for something decent to watch - how much will DA's negative tactics impact the gate receipts this season? And therefore the money available to spend in January, or more importantly for our impending L2 campaign 2018-19?

Well, the 'negative tactics' that saw us unbeaten in 6 meant a rise from 8280 against Shrewsbury to 10805 against Oxford. Even allowing for the Oxford following that's a decent upward move.
Entertainment matters, results are more important.
This game does feel like a bit of a watershed one .. or am I being a drama queen?
I've supported DA up until this point but the credit in the bank from last year's promotion is dwindling rapidly. He is well overdrawn now and I think that the tide may turn unfavorably for him if we fail to win tomorrow.
What is frustrating for me is that despite our Home form being dire and the fact its clearly not working he has no answer but to stick with the same failed system.
I recall reading in the Scotzine that Adams teams are capable of playing attractive attacking football. Andy Muirhead comments:-
"And we even did well in our first Premier League season, with a tremendous run to the top six after we kept the bulk of our squad and continued to play the attractive, passing style of football we had become known for. "
He then writes:
"There was a slow start as Adams experimented with a more cautious but direct style, but after he eventually reneged on that we kicked on and improved."
and finally
"It’s Adams’ return to that cautious style of football that has seen County’s fortunes fade and seen him lose his job."
Derek - If you're reading this it is quite apparent you need to experiment with attractive passing attacking approach at Home Park. I think most would accept relegation if we went out with a bang rather than a whimper. The bang might actually save us. You're clearly capable of playing a different style - what's there to lose? And why have you not learned the lesson from your previous sacking?

We have players who have to look twice and would rather play five foot inside pass than cross the ball, Miller could of crossed the ball five times on Saturday
nope played it inside and then it came back to him and he still would not cross it .. scared shitless of making mistakes. Carey crosses were awful on Saturday
even over hitting corners. But I do agree if we are going to lose we might as well go for it. It would also push away teams back, playing one up front at home
is ridiculous especially if your getting dicked 3/4 nil every game. Still think Adams is scared we could get thumped even worse, That's how bad we are, he knows
that but he cant say it.
