dereks assistants

Steve Evans · Oct 9, 2018

personally i think derek has made a huge mistake here in employing messrs wooton,nancekivelle and the ex royal marine bloke (anybody know his job title?).the team this evening were largely abject excluding tafari,fletcher and lameiras who bust a gut for the lost cause.i don't rate these three "on the spot"employees as they have not learned their craft at clubs much farther down the pyramid.please people,spare the details about "they've got their badges"any adult can get them!get rid of these three now derek and then look in the mirror.argyle were second best by miles tonight. :furious:

I’ve said it before, I wonder if Adams regrets picking up the phone and telling Craig Brewster not to bother coming back into work...

Thought Wooton said "in it to win it" not "in it to bin it"

We have a automatic entry so we have a chance, Shame it’s only a 0.01% chance though.

It’s the cheap option. Buy cheap, buy twice. Twice being wotton and nance. To be honest Adams is the manager, the buck stops with him. I don’t think tonight is the time to be chasing people out of Home park with our pitch forks. It will be a much better performance this Saturday, I’m confident of that.

Ollie Osborne has played an important part for Plymouth Argyle in pre-season in his role of first team strength and conditioning coach.

Well that made a big difference.

This is probably the most sensible thread Mr Evans has set up all season. Undermined ever so slightly by backing our young talent. Fletch isn't up to it, mate, move on with that one.

Anyway, yes we need a proper backroom.

One point-to-point Paul Wotton (I presume you mean him and not Scott Wootton, unless he's been reassigned to a more appropriate deskjob?) Played at a decent level for Southampton. And he's experienced all levels of prof. Football. Does Frank Lampard have to go to Barrow Town for 2 seasons? Etc. I don't agree they have to learn at the very bottom.

Derek without Brewster is a bit like Clough without Peter Taylor. In many ways Adams reminds me of Cloughie without the alcohol abuse.

And without the personality.

Wasn't Wotton's time with Southampton when they were in L1? I think the highest level he played at was with Argyle.

It all seems a bit random to me to blame it on the backroom. From what I see of DA, it's him who calls the shots and his assistants merely implement what the boss wants. If they don't do this to his satisfaction then he presumably can get rid of them - as he did with Brewster. I've no idea whether Wotton and co are good at what they do, but this looks like an attempt to deflect the flak away from Adams, with whom the ultimate responsibility surely has to lie.

If they just implement what he wants and don't add any value may as well put Pilgrim Pete on the bench and save the money.

I assume you are joking - comparing Adams to Brian Clough!!

You've left out the Kit Man. Anyone else wonder if he's taken into account things like Players with allergies to certain soap products. Try playing with an itchy back and other areas and you'll not be so effective. It's this lack of professionalism that rankles. I bet he's never considered a cool wash or is aware that some machines have a 15 minute cycle these days. I agree it's all a bit 'matey' att the moment.
