    And if we could finish we would be top 3.

    If you had actually been there Fordy and asked some of your "probing" questions maybe people would take your criticisms seriously.
    At least the dancers as you insultingly call them, bothered to go.

    One of the answers mentioned the lease/rent on the stadium going up "slightly"?
    The fans/mugs could do with some help on this from other investors as the playing budget will be affected.
    There is only so much quality you can sign with over 13,000 paying customers of varying amounts.

    I went and there were lots of straight to the point, uncomfortable questions that neither of them dodge. Adams was ruffled when challenged about winners, but on the whole they accepted the situation isn’t good enough and not winning promotion will be failure. I get the impression he will start to move players on sooner rather than later.

    Are you one of the dancers? Very immune to criticism of the club.

    Seemed very generic Q & A as you’d expect really never going to find out some ground breaking discovery.

    Funny when Adams owned up to the signings though seemed embarrassed and apologetic almost judging by what was reported by the T & A. Must do better.

    Begs the question what was Turnbulls role then? Because he and I believe his son for a while were picking up a wage from the club.

    Turnbull was responsible for last January and the players signed in that window

    I just think Adams took one for the team on the recruitment question. As mentioned earlier, it wouldn’t have looked good on Sparks if he’d said it was nothing to do with him. He came across as “I’m big enough and ugly enough to take any shit”, but he did have a sense of humour that I didn’t know he had. Having never been to one before I found it interesting with ample opportunity to ask question you liked.

    Let’s just say both ends of the pitch you have to be good for the top 3.

    Turnbull must have done some groundwork for the summer recruitment surely.

    adams came in only after Morecambe had gone up so wouldnt have even looked at targets until he’d arrived?

    Either way, lets hope we are as proactive this month as we were 12 months ago.

    walker looks a very good signing. Jury out on Pereira for now

    He could have tried to move them on. Evans was one we knew wasn't working out. He was given a chance by Adams and is now Mr Invisible. The football side has been all his decisions.

    Either Parker didn’t give the full answers on the T&A blog or you’re easily fooled. It seemed to me that several of the questions Ryan in particular answered were neatly side stepped, full accounts, what happens when fans get fed up to name just two.

    Both questions were answered.
    Full accounts - the previous owners thought it was hassle and unnecessary, Sparks says there is no reason to hide them so will be fully published.
    When fans get fed up - if this happens then Stefan will have to start funding losses.

    Thing is mate it could have been you there asking the cutting edge questions and holding them to account, absolutely nothing stopping you. I see you have gone quiet on the ‘questions are been screened’ topic as it was simply a lie that you made up. It would appear that it’s you who is the dancer, all talk on here but I’ve seen nothing to back it up.

    I am not sure what fans were expecting last night. They were not going to come out and proclaim we are totally wrong in everything we have done but dont worry we have half a dozen top class players signing this window and we will smash promotion.
    This squad of players are good enough to achieve promotion, for what ever reason they are under achieving individually and collectively and completely lack any fight if things start to go against them. They need to take a good hard look at themselves . If i was a manager at another club, i would not look at any one of them as potential signings.
