    I said at the start that he took the decision to stick by the players today.

    I'm sorry but if we rock up at Crawley with the same players, formation and tactics then he's going to look a bit naive and silly.

    I was thinking of going to Crawley but it's still a 4 hour round trip, even for me down here and on today's evidence I can't really be bothered, sorry.

    I disagree. We might not be world beaters and evidentially Angol is a bigger miss than we expected. However there are decent enough other players in the squad and I just feel Adam’s is either not getting enough out of them or doesn’t fancy them (which is my feeling where he’s at).

    Time for Mr Adams to make his players do his talking on the pitch for him
    Not convinced at all with him but want to be
    Tactically naive in the way he continues to play Cook up front by himself come on every fan who has seen us since Angol got injured can see that
    Chances mean absolutely nothing unless you take them
    Come on Mr Adams prove your reputation
    Today was a poor performance simply not good enough

    Robinson and Lavary are poor league 2 players who nobody wanted, I agree with you on Angol he’ll make a difference but has a terrible injury record which is why he isn’t playing higher up. We can moan about subs all we want but up front we just don’t have the quality, same with in Cookes position who was poor today but we don’t have anyone to replace him with. Faithful is right this team won’t go up without the investment which again we won’t receive, it’s been 4.5 years of total regression think it’s time fans realised where the issue actually lays.

    We’ve signed shite. I’m sorry, but we have. I’d like to know how much involvement Turnbull had - hopefully lots, and that’s why he’s been binned off.

    Also - Gillead was garbage. He’s creating nothing, not scoring, time to give Crankshaw a go.

    We drew 1-1 at home to an injury ravaged Barrow for goodness sake !!!

    I would take Brough, Kay and Zanzala. All better than what we have.

    It's worth noting that Adams has always managed the underdogs and that shows in his tactics. Nothing is going to change.

    Soft belly in midfield, easily opened up time and time again. Wasteful on set pieces and just so predictable in the last third.

    It's gonna be a long season as we have a soft belly coupled with the inability to convert. The frustration and may I suggest, a lack of confidence in the last third, looked palpable today.

    That first half hour, Barrow could have been out of sight. For that, a point is a return of sorts.

    Remember Mr Sparks said before Mr Adams was unveiled
    ' The new manager is fully involved with all transfers and contract negotiations' even before last season finished
    Can't see Turnbull signing players without Mr Adams approval to be honest
    Songo o was undoubtedly one of his signings yet he is confined to the bench

    Unbelievably, my first away game of the season. I have a few reservations making the long 450 mile round trip....

    Alex Gillead offers Zero. Literally zero.

    He's another Will Atkinson who despite offering nothing somehow gets rotated around the pitch instead being subbed off and continues to offer nothing in the new position.

    He's not alone in poor performances but at least the majority of the others have had the odd good one and contributed in some games.

    And as fans, we got a one third increase in season ticket prices. Feels wholly satisfying :@/

    And we supposedly beat our sales target, plus a fair few thousand paying on the day punters. I really would love to see the budget compared with recent years, I’m not usually that bothered but if that team is anywhere over mid table in terms of budget then I’d be shocked. Not to mention all our fancy new sponsors that keep getting unveiled on social media…

    Why is Trueman still here?

    Stabbed Stuart in the back, did the same to Sellars and somehow remains in a job despite the failure of not making the playoffs and the shocking form at the end of the season.

    Let Adams bring in a new assistant. He can't be judged until that happens.

    Angol will be on the injury table more than the field of play this season. He is renowned for it

    That was absolute dogshit. No other way to sum it up. If this is all we’ve got it’s gonna be a long season. No win in 5 games now. Not looking like it’s gonna end anytime soon either.
    Recruitment bloke been sacked. What a club

    It's odd that he's not giving Crankshaw a go.

    The only reason that he's not playing Songo'o must be because he's not 100% fit and worried about an injury.
