    We lost 3 nil according to Adams.

    :eek2::eek2::eek2:

    Was he sleeping during the match? No wonder the players drift off....

    Spot on. Sparks is a fraud, promoted so far above his ability you would think he was a civil servant. He's the worst ceo we have had in my memory and that includes junior rhodes

    With 5 years hard work, a full squad overhaul, a sacking of the senior management and a sh1t tonne of luck … we might … just might achieve mediocrity.
    This club is busted and it’s going to be a long time until we see any sort of positive signs. It’s getting worse before it’s going to get better.

    I fear we could go down if Adams stays

    It's good you're not interested because he was asked "what do you say to the fans"

    And he waffled on for 2 minutes and said bugger all.

    No we'll fight back, no we're going to improve, no we're going to win the next match or come back stronger or fight for the playoffs.

    Nothing.

    He has nothing to say to the fans. He doesn't care about what our views are or if we're happy or not. He's too comfortable in his job imo. Needs a rocket up him.

    But of course he is, what chance did he have?

    It was unfair to put him in a position where piecemeal sponsors and stadium upgrades don't matter, because that's his level and he's fine at it. To assume he can run a club is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

    He has no vision, he isn't strong enough to stand by one when he has one, he can't command a club, WHAT A JOKE.

    There was no fight first half. Adams hasn't made a blind bit of difference so far and this is a new low this season. To not bring Sutton on when Watt was having the worst game of the season makes Adams look very incompetent.

    We lost 3-0 according to him in his press conference
    That says it all as far as I am concerned
    Listening to his post match thoughts he couldn't give a fcuk

    We do need to prioritise what we the fans want to pay for, because Captain Stefan ain't gonna...

    Only 10 points above the relegation zone, if it takes us another 22 games to get a couple of wins it’s going to be touch and go whether we stay up.

    To be fair, people always had a go at McCall for being too soft on his players and for taking too much responsibility for poor performances rather than blaming the players. Now we have a manager who blames his players and people complain he's too cold and impersonal.

    We're no better than we were under Truman & Sellars, we're marginally better than we were under McCall, I don't think it is down to the managers personality, I just don't think we have invested in the team and signed the right quality of players.

    I heard no pride and passion from Adams and we saw little on the pitch either.We need battling qualities but poor as we are,I can't help feeling dismay at the way our players are coached.Something not right with our performance regime in my view.

    Sparks’ face was all over the club’s socials when he was trying to sell sponsorship and season tickets. Now the results of his recruitment teams’ efforts are showing through on the field he’s disappeared.
    That’s not the behaviour of leader in my opinion.

    Apart from the abysmal lack of effort and ability from the players, we play a formation which just doesn't suit them. And even within that we have a player in Gilliead who is never seen wide on the right where he's supposed to be. There's a gaping hole there every game which the opposition usually exploit. Gilliead just wanders about where he likes usually getting in other people's way. Not that the rest of our midfield seem to have a clue how or where they're supposed to play. The chaotic lack of structure and pattern is repeated every week. And we have no pace whatsoever and hardly ever threaten to score. It's just so utterly depressing how bad we've become. Not one player seemed to give a damn today. And as for the manager, he seems to exist in a parallel universe where all is sweetness and light. If this continues for much longer I shudder to think what the season ticket renewal will be.
