I'm reasonably optimistic.
We've had four seasons of chaos, low morale and lurching from one manager to another, each with very different ideas. Too many of the players had got used to losing. Most of those have now gone.
For the first time in ages we have appointed a manager that we specifically wanted, rather than a panic knee jerk reaction or easy option. Adams has an established way of playing that has been demonstratively successful at this level. We have recruited early, with a good blend of youth and experience, an abundance of pace, competition for starting places and no substandard makeweight bench warmers. This isn't a guaranteed recipe for success, but it certainly looks a hell of a lot more like it than anything we've seen in recent years
Clearly we do need another striker. If we can find the right one then we should have the quality, strength in depth and organisation to be at least in the playoffs and possible automatics.JimmyBantam, Bantam Boy, bantamdave41 and 7 others like this. -
I've just voted for Champions. I'm confident enough to have backed you heavily. I think Adams is a different class of manager to any you've had of late. But nothing is certain of course and the value of my investment could evaporate to nothing. I'll be cheering you from my flat in Roker. Good Luck!

You'd think after being disappointed so many times during the past I would be less optimistic but I can't wait for the first home game then our first away day with the Dolly boys at Mansfield.FrenchBantam, meelin, Kevin1954 and 1 other person like this. -

Our expectations are too high, not in terms of where we want to be, but the timescales we give managers and the people at the top have always reacted to that. We need to be patient, give him time and not hound him out the way we have with Boreya, McCall & Trueman. A dose of Parkyism is required. Pragmatic, patient building.
I'm confident it will happen this season, but if it doesn't (and we show we can compete along the way) then he must be given the time and benefit of the doubt.Stop hovering to collapse...

Far too early to make an informed judgement. Club loyalties often bring blinkered vision.

Like yours though.I made a few quid on a couple of horses recently and Italy at the euros so why not blow most of it on a stupid city bet.

If I don't set the bar too high, it avoids the (inevitable) disappointment.

I can tell you their season now. Fly out of the blocks for a month, fall off badly by new year, sack Bowyer and recover to finish 8th.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...
