Match Thread Away V Mansfield Sat 21st Aug @ 3.00pm

Anyone noticed how Adams tone changes depending whether he is on Radio Leeds, Pulse or Citys Social?

Seems far more at ease when talking to the clubs cameras.

 

Club questions “pre arranged” , journalists are not. Just like politicians…reading their notes on zoom after being asked a preplanned patsy question by Laura.

 

Lovely Laura was made redundant wasn’t she?

 

Tnx Mike

Was she….?

I refuse to watch BBC “news” nowadays with the exception of NewsNight.

Give me Nigel Clough, furious and chewing out his players publicly over this absolute drip.

I know who will be in the job longer....

 

Agree. I mean, his points may be very valid but somethings should be kept behind doors. I think every fan wants honesty from their managers analysis of the game and admission when it wasn’t good enough. However this approach feels such so dated and completely out of touch with the modern day player. Granted, some players may thrive of this approach, but again keep it to the dressing room.

For me this is not a manager I could relate to, regardless of the teams results.

As for the game sounds like we ground out a great away win when maybe a draw was a fairer result. Sure Adams and the back 4 will be disappointed with goals against, certainly the first looks as though POC could have done more to try stop the cross and suspect Canavan will feel he’s beaten a bit too easily for the header. That said credit to Hawkins as the leap and finish is very decent, as is the volley for his second.

Would have loved to be in the away end when the 3rd went in - amazing following again yesterday.

Any news on Cooke?

 

He went down because he was exhausted. He wanted to stay on but Adams wanted some fresh legs.

 

Bowyer encroaches on the pitch with a great tackle to stop the opposition winger today, Bit of a loonie, How he ended up our manager is a joke

 

Have to agree Olly. I’ve interviewed, recruited and managed a number of managers in my time and any manager showing that sort of behaviour would be out of the door. I recognise there are many dissimilar traits between industry and retail management compared to football management , but common decency is a “ given”. There will be those who call out such comments as “snowflake” etc etc, but management in multi million pound businesses is a different animal to playing FM 2021.


Any bets there will be a letter on his desk from the PFA within the week?

 

At we agree on something.

 

Hope he stays with them a while longer and keeps up the good work, they could still be a rival to us if they got their act together and got rid.

 

He was limping , I thought so at the time he went to the floor. I saw a vid of him slowly walking behind the Mansfield goal and 100% guaranteed he was limping.

Hopefully just a twinge and off as a precaution.

 

Sure I read somewhere was just a dead leg, Adams didn't seem too fussed in his interview. Angol's sounds serious though, sadly

 

Clough is out of order publicly slating his right back like that, especially as there was a Grimsby fan on Twitter saying the guy is a CB rather than a RB anyway so it's Clough's fault in the first place, and that Yems is clearly a massive t*t, but I'd not get carried away with criticising managers for unreasonable media responses just yet... Adams has a maverick interview or two in him if his back's against the wall!

 

Yes Adams confirmed it was a dead leg

 

After he went off the pitch, he was desperate to get back on and when he saw he was being subbed, his head went down, which suggests he felt he was able to carry on.

 

Good to hear

 

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned earlier on the feed, but how did sonogo play yesterday?

 

Sometimes people need protecting from themselves!

Shows how much spirit Adams has instilled into the squad!
