    Not wrong at all.

    I said it’s an extension of training and about fitness. Adams will be upset because some are not highlighting that.

    The result counts for nothing and that’s a fact.

    But but but....its all bout fitness so why is Adams analysing their performance? As long as they didnt look tired what else matters?

    You dont know the difference between general fitness and match fitness.

    Results dont mean anything but no reason why we cant enjoy a good performance and a win.

    If results don’t matter why did you define it as “poor”

    Because he couldnt resist adding his negative slant. Adams said last night he hates to lose any football match - yet Fordy claimed Adams doesnt care about the results.

    Another howler.

    I think there was reverse psychology going on.

    Play your 2nd 11 first while the opposition is at its strongest
    Bring on the 1st 11 to see how they deal with the pressure of being behind.

    He learnt a lot last night
    RoD will NOT be first choice
    Evans…… Out of the picture

    Vernham was excellent down the left
    Angol was far more effective than Cook but that’s not blaming Cook because he got no service and no support.

    Sutton, Watt, Cooke effective trio

    Gillyhead far better than Cranky.

    Back four nailed on as per second half

    Where, how does Songo’o come in when fit?

    He’s been fair to all the squad imho. They have basically all had equal time to show what they could bring to the tables From that, the selection of the 18 man matchday squad had been easy been pretty seamless.

    He’s no mug!

    I keep hearing this and saw the same on Saturday. Cook needs to do more for himself as Angol is doing, or he could find himself starting from the bench.

    For me the XI against Accy should be our strongest. Angol has given Adams a selection dilemma but I reckon he’s now thinking;

    Hornby; Ridehalgh, Canavan (c), Paudie, Threlkeld; Watt, Songo’o (Sutton if Yann is injured), Cooke, Vernham, Eisa; Cook

    wouldn’t surprise if Angol started. Cranky pushing Eisa.

    Well divide away Adams, we’ve been a pathetic soft touch for 4 years not helped by the likes of McCall and Bowyer being all pally with everyone even when they were shite. Like Parkinson he won’t be accepting mediocrity, you’d have criticised him if he’d have defended the first half garbage so he can’t win with some.

    I like that interview. Let the players be under no illusions, my way or no way.

    It was a strange starting11 for me far too many kids in from the start, I understand he needs to look at the likes of Scales, Cousin-Dawson, Sikora, Staunton but a 1/3 of your starting 11 kids with little experiance.
    From his post match comments maybe he regrets starting so many, talking about his clarety of judgement, I could never see a similar situation arising in a league game.

    Have a feeling that maybe some of the younger ones will be sent out on loan to get match time against open age teams as opposed to staying at Apperley Bridge and playing every so often against under 23's or 21's.

    I don't think he regrets it at all. Its validated his thinking around making further squad changes, whilst he still has time to do so.
