Most liked posts in thread: Derek Adams, his management, tactics & squad options

I am enjoying him but you do not get to know about someone until its start to go wrong... Plymouth loved and then hated him. Lets see how it pans out but I agree combined with Sparky and our head of recruitment we seem to be heading up up up and up

 

see this is the Fordy I don’t mind the rational clear headed one.

 

They will be a very strong side at home not many teams will come away with all 3 points this season.

 

We’ve had a few seasons where we’ve got off to flyers but they’ve gradually petered out. It seems different this time though, we seem to have a bit more steel about us.

The main worry is injuries.

 

There will inevitably be bumps in the road and they can wait. After the last few years I just feel like enjoying the positivity. (As long as it lasts).

 

found it.


‘Under 21 Player’ means a Player under the age of 21 as at the 1 January in the year in which the Season concerned commences (e.g. for Season 2021/22, born on or after 1 January 2000).

So Watt will not count either as his DOB is 11 March 2000

 

You've lost me. What's wrong with the style of play? If we lose whilst still creating chances, then so be it.

I'm lost as to what people expect in League 2

 

This explains a lot. I had both keepers and Watt down as part of a maximum 20 squad and thought there was no more room at the Inn. Turns out we've got rooms going begging!

 

First manager I’ve had full confidence in some time, probably since we got promoted with Parky. Not to get too far ahead of ourselves but reckon we could even get automatics this year if we keep it up.

 

Early days to sing to much praise but he is the kind of manager this badly failing club needs.

He won’t dance about. He will tell the club straight and if will improve because of it.

We will lose him if we don’t improve on and off the pitch. He’s not interested in pleasing people it seems. He’s interested in results and getting them.

 

Adams has been clear in the past about his belief that a club only wins in the opposition's last 18 yards. However you get it there, that's where he wants the ball to be, quick sharp. If people want to call that route one, then it looks bloody exciting these days!

 

I think Adams will be good for us but I just don't see him here beyond 2-3 seasons no matter how successful we are in that time.

 

If he takes us the championship in that time he can go with our blessing and thanks.

 

Done a hell of a job to create that in just 5 games when the previous 8 were just training/fitness matches.

 

No nonsense guy that has instilled a hard working ethos in the players who are fit and want to win. Like him a lot.

 

Love what he has done so far. I like listening to his interviews, equally honest, forthright and measured. He comes across as a football obsessive with a winning mentality.

I'm still waiting to see or hear the dour, boring style we were told to expect from some.

As others have said, he reminds me of Parky, and hopefully he is as good a fit to our club as Parky was, and delivers some similar success.

Oh, and so far, certainly doing much better than a few fans first choice Richie Wellans, who has got off to a nightmare start at Donny

 

This comment says it all for me :
"At the age of 33, Adams became the holder of the UEFA Pro Licence, which is the highest coaching badge in the senior game" if you're going to be something get the best grounding you can.

 

There’s another thread for that

 

A good start but that's all. A start.

Adams look a find but as the man said himself, judge Bradford City (and Adams) in May.

One objective and that is promotion. Especially with c12. 5% of points needed already in the bag.

Not being negative (or any other narrative) but 15 days into the season, is ridiculous to be comparing to Jewell or Parkinson.

Perspective.
