    I’m not a huge fan either. However, every player gets a clean start with Adams at the helm. I expect us to have a much more coherent and well drilled system, which might unlock a level of performance/consistency we’ve not yet seen in some.

    Hopefully so. I thought Sutton looked good at the beginning of T&S's winning run. He got his tackles in but cut down on the wild stuff. His pace off the mark allowed him to steal possession and break oppo lines and he got a couple of decent goals. His form tailed off later, but then so did nearly everyone else's. I can see him being a useful player under Adams, even if he isn't the most technically gifted.

    Have said before that by 10 games in we will have a good idea of where we are going.

    As for this thread being pointless, why do you keep posting on it then?

    QPR might not go on to win the championship and Rangers won’t win the champions league, but what it will do, is give them a massive confidence boost to carry into their respective seasons. Had both been stuffed the Managers / Coaches may have questioned their tactics and with a few weeks before the season starts, maybe tried to change their approach.

    You know all this and your having fun going against the grain. I imagine you’ll be sat there waiting to pick holes in the next positive thing the club do just to be controversial.

    Yes I think at times fans accused him of being a pal rather than their boss, diffrent approaches by diffrent managers sometime bring different results.
    The Mark Marshall situation, I could never see Phil putting his arm round Mark where as Stuart did coaxing him to be a very big part of the team that season and bringing the real Mark Marshall out of him.

    Sacrilege you may say coming from Bradford, but Seabrooks are probably the worst brand on the market in my opinion

    Quite right Kevin. The Authority is now the Competition and Markets Authority. They did look at the recent purchase of Asda by the Forecourt guys from Blackburn, cleared the stores bit but the deal hung on them disposing of a number of Filling Stations which they agreed to.
    The concern would be a foreign owner in the case of Morrisons, but the current front runner bought Majestic Wines and run it as a retail operation. Wait and see, the press are forecasting other bids, including Amazon.

    The bar I worked at in Bristol only sells Seabrooks as bar snacks. Bloody great day when I found that out

    A win in the Sun. 2-1. Thought Adams might need sacking for conceding a goal....
    Wish I was there tonight, if it weren't for family isolation I would have been. Really wanting a City fix. Might get down on Saturday.

    Great to see city after so long at a ground within walking distance for me. Not the greatest game especially second half which was really scrappy.

    Cook and Cooke stood out for me. Not sure on the fullbacks Oscar (using first name as can't spell his surname!) seems a bit error prone and was at fault for their goal.

    Angol must be pressing to be included in the starting line-up the way he is doing?

    Good to see City treating friendlies more seriously than I can remember, involving the first team, even against non league opposition with players obviously keen to impress Adams

    Does anyone know if the game at Brighouse tonight a sell out, or after restrictions have been lifted can we pay on the gate, wasn't going to attend any pre season games but reading some of the posts on here I'm getting itchy feet, the 14th August seems s long way off.

    Seems that Adams clearly rates him:

    Interesting to read that Adams sees Reece Staunton as a midfielder rather than a central defender.

    No one is creaming themselves. But Adams doesn't strike me as someone who chucks compliments around lightly. He saw Angol 'terrorise' Morecombe last year, in League 2, so it's clear that he he has the ability at our level, not just against non-leaguers.
