    Robinson - set the bar so low that he’s actually exceeded expectations. That was a joke, in case you couldn’t figure it out

    Lavery - Had somewhat of a decent rep as a second striker type of player but has been injured an shit

    Eisa - Doesn’t actually have a major history of injuries, unlike Angol. So that took us all by surprise. Stop acting like Houdini, Nobody could foresee he’d be injured for most of the season

    Threlkeld - Don’t remember anyone really slagging this signing off. But he’s been by far the worst signing seeing as he’s always playing. Just want to bare in mind that he’s not a Right back. For salford he played Cdm I believe so I dunno what Adams is thinking there

    Kelleher - Turnbull sold us a bag of dreams on that one. I don’t think anyone could of predicted that he’d be pub league quality

    The only real pre season prediction that most of us here got right is that Angol would get injured. And that aint really something to gloat about

    I totally agree with you about Gareth Evans's future but I would play him upfront before Lavery and possibly even Robinson.

    I think they already had a first choice keeper an Bass needs regular game time, hence why he’s come to us

    So you admit that all the players listed above have been a disappointment? And that's something we all said would happen. So what is your point exactly? Are you saying we all welcomed these players to our club with open arms, and are now all sad that they didn't work out? I suggest if you had the time (which you obviously don't as you seem to be a VERY IMPORTANT MAN), you look back at the posts when they were first signed. Not a lot of people were giving them glowing references.

    You're right. Aim was always to sign 5 loan players it seems.

    We can sign up to 8 players on loan but may only name 5 of those in any matchday squad. We also could send one back who was not playing to create room

    And that demonstrates the weakness of our recruitment last summer particularly with strikers. Adams said at the time that he had been looking for an extra striker prior to Angol's injury. He then continued running it to the wire and we ended up with Lavery and Robinson on freebies. Adams current position with January signings not giving value for money when buying players doesn't seem logical. If that is the case and he knows that as an 3xperienced manager, it makes me wonder why he didn't bring them in last summer when we were looking for first team ready strikers? It appears to me that Sparks or somebody was even then keeping the purse strings tightened.

    Tight purse strings and he says this!? Bring back Turnbull all is forgiven. He’s lost the plot

    Good forwards earn you promotion, Good defenders avoid relegation, The lesson top managers soon realise, Only the failures and thickos ignore this lesson in football,

    Sorry, but I can't agree that Songo'o is on a par with Akpan. Okay, he is not performing nearly as well as we all anticipated, but it is a bit of an insult to suggest he is anywhere near Akpan performance wise. I have not forgotten the horror of it.

    Fair enough. I was just trying to use poetic licence :) He's still a bit rubbish though. Could be much better if he bothered a bit.

    Wow. Just wow. And I thought man management was meant to be his thing. Now he's got a keeper who is third in line to start on his books. Really great for morale that.

    If Adams doesn't shift some players out in January, we're going to have an increased number of underemployed, disenchanted and, possibly, disruptive players on the sidelines.

    I'm sure he's all too aware of this, then again.........

    I think he's making it very clear that ROD won't be here in the summer.

    The club has tried very hard to work with players and let them get sorted elsewhere re. BRE, Longridge & Mottley-Henry.

    ROD will move on in the next week if he can get an 18 month deal sorted elsewhere.

    Both Pickford and Johnstone were at Premier League clubs.
    Bass comes from Lg1

    Or its smoke and mirrors so he doesn't look a Twit for binning off fans favourite ROD. :OO:
    Adams is in a fantasy world even if you take his comment anyway you want.
    Just come out and say im not happy with the standards and Bass is here to improve them.
