Ruben Lameiras received his Senior Greens Player of the Season award and thanked us. On behalf the team he assured us that they would all be fully committed to the next 2 games.
āKey playersā doubtful are Letheren and Ladapo. No point in concealing when it was revealed to 200+ Senior Greens.
DA accepts full responsibility for playing matters this season and for the previous 3 seasons. He encouraged members to ask questions by saying āCome on, give it a goā when there was a brief pause in questioning.
Our playing budget was 5th lowest in our league last season per EFL. Current season not known yet.
Admitted that defence has not been compact enough and was particularly disappointed with conceding late goals recently against Bristol Rovers and Blackpool.
Also, concerned that, apart from Ladapo, Lameiras and Carey other midfielders had not contributed with goals. Joel Grantās injury was a major blow as he was having a good season.
He explained attempts to resolve problems with Herald before the ban was decided necessary.
Following this meeting, I am not changing my pro Adams stance. I assume that MGM, rsp4 and oldage were not there to ask questions as I am sure that he would have been prepared to answer their questions frankly.
The way this thread has turned out proves it is right not to go.
You went there and enjoyed it. You liked what he said. Why would l go to change a āpositiveā atmosphere for you, and l dare say many others that were there at the meeting.
Iām afraid l have listened to him over and over again. What you have to remember Davie is that for me the game and style Adams talks about isnāt the football l witness.
Iām afraid to me all he telling people is excuses. For example, at the end of last season we were one of the lowest goal scoring teams away from home. We knew Ness, Fox and Sarcevic didnāt contribute enough goals over a year ago. Today he is telling you there arenāt enough goals coming from midfield. Well ....sorry...but ya Duh!!! A year one that midfield, if itās injury free is still our first choice along with Songoāo. 12 months on and now he is telling people itās an issue. Surely, this performance/statistical bloke Adams has was pointing this out last season.
Thatās just one issue. There are so many more.
Does any remember Holloway era. Brilliant talker. Green blood...and all that nonsense. ...as a fan base we loved him. It was just words. He left when a better opportunity came along. Holloway and Adams are educated, bright people. When they talk itās bound to sound good. However, as l learnt with Holloway itās just sound bites.
Actions speak louder than words.
So l judge Adams not what he says, but what l see on the pitch. And what l see on the pitch isnāt good. At least Holloway could back up his fancy talk by his team performing on the pitch.
Glad you think he is the right bloke but for me if we end up in league 2 l think thatās the only FACT thatās points to Adams, Wotton and Nancekivell being the wrong people to take Argyle forward. It will be four years wasted.
