    Hindsight really is a wonderful thing :) I wasn’t around to voice my opinions at the time but I admit I was more than happy to have him it’s what’s gone off since January that the problem

    Lol in the extreme. Just demonstrates how fickle football fans are.
    @Johnny Yen@Johnny Yen 's post on the previous page was almost sage like, yet now everyone's calling for his blood.

    It's called Hindshite.

    It’s called failing!

    People are calling for his head because he’s failing. It’s that bloody simple.

    Football is a results business. It’s not hard.

    Usually far too late in the game..

    By his own accord in the last match "Leyton Orient are a massive football club and we needed to pay them respect"

    I went for "other". Not sure who I had in mind at the time, or maybe that list didn't fill me with confidence. Adams had the best chance on that list - best pedigree maybe - but look how things have turned out. I don't think RS has the balls to sack him before the end of the season, but if we fail to win tomorrow the knives will be further sharpened. If its followed by a few more defeats, surely Rupp has to step in and tell Ryan to give Adams the chop. I know he doesn't have much, but Rupps credibility, and Ryans, is being tested again.

    Would you have called for Parky's head? Would that have been the right decision?

    I expect either a nill response or some bollocks about it being different this time.

    Try to be consistent. It's not hard.

    It isnt fickle to change your mind after being presented with new evidence. It's better than being stubborn and refusing to change your view, when new evidence suggests you were wrong.

    I was delighted with Adams’ appointment but hold my hand up as it hasn’t worked out.

    the way Adams has been talking this week though and talking of top three, nevermind top 7, I wonder……is he rolling the dice and finally playing 4-4-2 tomorrow? Nothing to lose now.

    Obviously we all want him and the team to win games and entertain, he'll will make himself look pretty stupid if he "goes for it" and we start a winning run.............just do it Adams you'll get far more respect for having a go even if we lose.

    We were in a different situation!

    it’s not about being consistent

    Look, if you are scared of change then just say!
