Brent backs Adams
- Thread starter Cobi Budge
- Start date
Agree with that Biggs. I'd add the caveat that Brent should be aware of the general morale around the club ...... IF the perception is that it is falling apart ('he's lost the dressing room' ) then pull the trigger sooner rather than later....... IF it appears everyone really does seem together and determined to turn it around (as we've seen before) then back him as much as possible. Only those on the inside can really know....... Saturday was a shocker but a week before it appeared to be a really happy camp that had turned a corner.Biggs":33eavihi said:
We keep on going until January ....
Transfer window Opens and we can strengthen the team
I predict mid table finish

I personally think if we are going to pull the trigger and sack DA, the best time is mid-November A new manager would need time to assess a new squad and see who was capable of playing in their style. Our squad probably has individuals who would perform better under a different manager and sacking DA end of December would not help a new man see that. Especially baring in mind our budget will be limited, the new man would only be able to bring in probably a max of 4 permanent and a loanee at a guess.
It's the home defeats that add another nail in the coffin. I think the tipping point could come on November 10th - FACup 1st Round day. A home defeat again a strong Conference side like Salford, Fylde or Sutton ...... Worst case scenario Torquay, Weston Super Mare or Metropolitan Police :doh: :banghead:

I agree. I've watched many a game over my many years and I don't ever recall seeing a manager stand all alone in a virtually empty stadium for as long as Adams did at Oxford. He obviously is completely invested in this club. I believe he feels the anguish that we all do when we lose. He strikes me as someone that is completely different to other managers in the game. I do not doubt his resolve. I do not doubt his belief in what this club could achieve. I think he is being let down by the players. If they were to put in as much effort, commitment and belief as I believe Adams does then we would win more than we lose. I would not want him to leave or be pushed. He has been more successful than not since he's been here. We will not be relegated with him at the helm. I believe that he is looking after this club as best he can with the resources he is given. I don't think that there is anyone else out there that could do better. He will get rid of the players that are letting him/us down and sort this out. In my opinion Carey is one of these players. I would not be surprised to see Carey move in January

Whilst Iāve moved from pro Adams to wanting him gone you make some good points.. if thereās still spirit and fight with players and management then there may be hope. For me tho itās more about whether thereās actually someone out there who can improve us, and right now Iām just not sure there is.

I take your points. But honestly we all said the same things last season and things changed drastically. I don't think that will happen again, but I do think Adams has the capabilities to guide us away from this and keep us out of the drop zone. I also believe that he deserves that chance and we should back him....for now.

We were bottom of the league in December of last season but the signs of improvement were already there with 4 wins and 2 draws from 8 games, mainly because of Fox and Songo'o sitting deep to make the team solid and the introduction of Diagouraga.
Of course we had lift off when Lameiras came back into the fold against Oldham on the 9th of December.
We don't need to hit those dizzy heights this season to avoid relegation but the players need to show lots of improvement and move away from that Kassham performance of last Saturday.
It might be worth trying a 3-5-2 formation, we have the perfect wingbacks to give us the width in Moore and Smith-Brown and it would give the team two strikers.
