    He made some good points granted but he just seems to waffle.

    I think a lot of it is money but grace and favours save money it all comes from the same pot

    I see your point Park but end of the day we’re mid table playing some appalling football. That’s what he should be measured on. CEO of any business is measured by performance.

    Sack Adams... That was coming.

    First half good.

    Second half sit back and defend. Crap.

    Can you see it.

    Only heard half of Adams post match interview and not for the first time hangs a young lad out to dry publicly for a mistake, but I didn't hear him condemn his own second half tactics. Always everyone else's fault with this fella.

    Adams out

    Cousin Dawson played well first half as did the rest of them. Not quite sure what made them gradually sit deeper second half but Adams made no effort to stop them doing it. Can't remember a game where two halves of football were so different.

    Was wrong to blame FCD, Mark Marshall ran us wragged while Adams watched and did nothing to stop him or help FCD

    Marshall played well when he came on, although he was helped by a side that had completely lost its composure and shape.

    Usually managers are not allowed to enter the field of play. How did you expect Adams to stop or help him? The right back who was going to play, was apparently injured, so no sub.

    Like most of the defence he was trapped with no out ball down the line as we went central all the time, taking Vernon off left him exposed as Gillead his replacement went central or maybe help by going 2 on one as most managers who knew football would have done

    The reality is that the players who took the pitch were apparently defending in the second half. It really needs the midfield to step on the ball and retain possession. The defence for me is not great, I think Canavan should be far more influential than he is. I don’t get Threlkeld. We never seem to press on when we have a goal. I still think the squad needs to be thoroughly revised at the end of the season. Promotion this season, even the Play Off’s are not even at Euro Lottery odds!

    Canavan has been dreadful most of this season. He looks non league player now to me.

    We play down the middle and make it hard to score, Crawley brought Marshall a winger on and then spread the ball wide to put crosses in, Adams could do the same and play a winger but chooses not to, Most goals originate out wide even ours on the odd occasion we play it like the first half where one good cross got the goal. Having said all that the 2 Crawley goals looked stoppable by the keeper but maybe a bit harsh as they were very good crosses

    Oh to have a player who could come on for 20 minutes and turn a game. We can but dream.

    Mitigating circumstances there though Dave with Salford having the best player on the pitch sent off.
