Secondly for those criticising his comments about the fans I think this was more aimed at that minority of fans giving him neanderthal type abuse rather than the ordinary disgruntled supporter.

That’s what I love about football - the long memory fans have and loyalty to a manager - NOT
He has a long term project here and what we are seeing is the result of a very high turn over of players every season - Which is my main gripe with Adams and at some point he would pick a few duff players and the side will struggle
All good sides build a squad / team adding a couple players each season to improve the side
As we made a profit of only £32000 there clearly isnt the money to sign the players up on longer term deals. And offer better / match deals available at other clubs so Adams hands are somewhat tied by financial restrictions he’s operating under
With what he’s had to work with he’s done very well for us
I have faith that he will keep us in this division which is the important thing

Yeah I keep thinking about that Yeovil game. Wrote it off at the time as meaningless friendly, etc... But in truth its a summary of our season so far.
It was clear that we had no pace in defence and that it would cause us problems. Wootton couldn't run properly in that game, it was clear that his days as a pro are gone.
We changed the shape at half time to the same shape as yesterday, 4-2-3-1, but had Connor Grant at left wing. Which Adams has done deliberately throughout the season. He was as garbage against Yeovil as he has been in every other game for us.
Adams gave our formation and line up that took us from bottom to 7th last season 45 minutes against Walsall. The first half, we were 1-1 and it was definitely not the worst performance of the season. Lamerias was hauled off at half time, we changed shape, we got worse and Adams criticised Lamerias and Carey post match. Since then it's gone from bad to worse.
Now he's turned on fans. If he thinks Home Park is a hostile environment and that Argyle fans are unreasonable oafs then Adams does not get around to much football. I can assure everyone that we are one of the most forgiving and tame fanbases in the country.
Adams needs to stop being such a sensitive prune and to get a grip. He needs to be honest with himself and the club if this "head of football" role is too much responsibility and is having an adverse effect on his ability as a coach.

And what happens for next season?
It’s more than just surviving each season. We want progressive improvement and to look forward to match day at home or away.
There’s absolutely no enjoyment right now.
Oh goodness, here we go again. It’s just sad.
I am very far from pro-Adams and wouldn’t be sad to see him go.
The bit that frustrates me is he is such a good manager when he’s not in a rut. The question for me is how deep is the rut? I thought he was dead and buried last year but he proved me wrong.
His attitude and comments are funny when we are winning, but grind so very, very much when we are losing. His surprise at how angry the fans were yesterday shows a naivety that is telling.
The problem is you know he’ll go somewhere and do really well. Can he stay here though?
What a mess he has created.

This is not the same as last season- last season there were always glimpses of something better - it was obvious we were in a false position in the league following a string of injuries and sendings off. This season we are in a true position. Every team we have played has been better than us, some miles better. There are a lot of injuries but, Taylor aside, unlike last season we all know they won’t make much difference when they come back. If Adams stays there is no hope

Cripes my memory and facts must be deceiving me. There was no poll. People didn’t come back later in the season apologising they were wrong and we haven’t finished higher year on year. Booking a GP appointment tonight !
Great post but he won't go so we might as well just accept that. Besides why do you think a new manager would do any better with these underperforming players?
I agree with your post but I only want him to stay because I don't think it will make any difference if he left. We'll either stay up or we won't but it won't be because of Adams leaving.
Remember when we sacked Luggy in a similar predicament well it didn't work. So let's learn from that mistake I say and have faith in the manager. In Adams we trust.

Agree with this.
Sadly we are stuck with DA like it or not.
What happened last year was remarkable. No one saw it coming and the momentum and confidence built up was incredible. even when we played poorly we still won and everything went for us ( until the last 6 games when normal service resumed )
That run is not repeatable by ANY team IMHO.
make no mistake we are worse than last year and really are in a relegation battle to the very end this time around and the biggest problem we have is the inept defence. Those brought in are simply not good enough and nor are they for League 2 even.
Last year we had a solid keeper in Matthews.
Great RB in Oscar
Dominating CB in Bradley
Fast sweeper in Vyner
Steady LB in Sawyer
Todays back 5 are not fit to lace the boots of the above.
Failing 5 new signings the defence is inacapable of getting any better as its simply not within them

So you want 4 more seasons of this dire football and outrageous excuses whilst belittling the supporters just because it didn't work out once before? Great plansamjones":c43qcocf said:

Glad my post started debate.
Arry I have no agenda just fed up with tripe that has been served up. I am in the camp that apart from a purple patch last winter (whuch I believe DA lucked upon) DAs football has always been turgid but he was getting results.
Look I have this club in my heart and would love a big turnaround and will be the first to congragulate the manager if that happened but I will not support his football style, tactics, mad substitutions or perceived arrogance towards the fans.
All my points in the OP are there for all to see and have been for a long time. The 2 things keeping DA at the fore front was his promotion and win ratio. Both long gone.
I also agree the personal abuse he got at the end of the match was wrong
Happy people are debating and I hope those that are unhappy dont get beaten down by the happy clappie green tints. Its all opinions and in my opinion there is lots wrong, not too much right and I am peeved.
