Argyle at Charlton - match day thread

[PilgrimLew]

So Adams was the messiah last season but suddenly he’s terrible? He’s signed players nobody else wanted because it’s the best we can afford.

 

[cheshiregreen]

Finding his team?

Well maybe but perhaps by chance.

We finished with a back four of Smith-brown Edwards P Grant and Wylde. This was as result of injuries but would like views on performance of those today especially as Grant has not been considered good enough to be in the match squad before.

This is not Adams fault, this is what happens when the manager consistently isn’t backed in the transfer window. Comes to something when teams in league two and the conference have better budgets.

I think he's been backed to the hilt. He's made the budget calls to make the help balance the books. Sadly the judgement on new players has waned this window, and has rapidly declined since he bought in Sarcevic and Taylor, which was when we were still in L2. Out of 2017s Summer window only Lamerias has been a qualified success. From 2018 window Ladapo may be rated by many but I see a lot of effort without great output. Unless I'm missing something???????

backed to the hilt when we can’t afford to give sonny Bradley league 1 wages? What do you think the new signings are being paid?

Simple fact score goals you win games !

No, He's signed players that aren't good enough - there is a difference.

We did - and we didn't!

Look, forget Bradley he has gone,

You do not know, what Bradley was offered, and never will. It is all guess work.

 

[Metal Green Mickey]

We had a go today. Tried to be more attacking. That’s a positive.

Will he do this in the next game, or the one after that etc.... or will he revert back to type?

He created this mess by the players he brought in and the negative way we approach games.

It’s down to him to prove he can change his ways.

I’d give him the season. If we get relegated he should do the honourable thing and resign. I don’t think he would though.

People are upset and annoyed because of results. I’m more annoyed at the way we approach games. Had we started the season with a more attack minded team, like today, l wouldn’t be so harsh on Adams.

However, is today him proving he can and will change? Or was it desperation?

The desperation to shield Adams from any criticism is beyond embarassing. Get a grip man.

1 win in 15. Face the facts.

Face the fact that the players aren’t good enough because we can’t compete with what other clubs at this level are willing to pay, face the fact that even if we sack Adams and get another manager they will still have to work with these players that are not fit for this league. Face the fact that Adams has just been given a huge contract and we can’t afford to sack him.

 

[Longwellgreen]

The unreasonably deep defensive positioning and the benching of our most effective attacking players en masse, leads me to the conclusion....5 games possibly to save his job? That would give a however many wins/points from 20 games....in today’s game, enough matches for a board to get twitchy and act.

Today may have been a bit better, but the trend continues.

The pressure mounts....

 

[Ottawa Green]

Wylde replaced Sawyer, the commentators did not notice and kept calling Wylde, Sawyer, even though it was clear that it was Wylde, anyway I thought Wylde played reasonably well at full back.

 

[Akos Bubacksy]

The stats of every game are the main issue. Most teams are having many more shots than us!

 

[Floyd Pepper]

The fella commentating with Gritton said "Ramerias" numerous times too. Clueless.... absolutely clueless!

 

[Mark Pedlar]

Rapidly approaching the point where we can't afford not to.

The players he has signed are not playing well in the formation and to the tactics that Adam desires - different tactics and formation - who knows?
