Micky Adams' fantastic tactical decisions this year (in no particular order)

[Chesney Christ]

1. Micky Adams signs two central defenders despite the fact we already have two of the best central defenders in League One.

2. Re-signs Kerry Mayo.

3. Re-signs Gary Hart.

4. Adam Virgo played on the RIGHT WING against Cheltenham.

5. Colin Hawkins rushed back from a HERNIA operation to play in central defence - we lose 4-1 to Scunthorpe.

6. Livermore played left wing and left back despite playing his whole career as a centre midfielder.

7. Adam Virgo played CENTRAL MIDFIELD.

8. Robbie Savage - who has spent his whole career as a defensive midfielder - is played alongside defensive midfielders in every game he plays (Thomson, El-Abd etc) forcing him to play a totally unnatural game to what he's used to.

9. Joel Lynch shipped out to Nottingham Forest.

10. Kevin Thornton benched for FOUR consecutive games, despite STUNNING debut against Cheltenham.

11. Colin Hawkins keeps place in team GAME AFTER GAME AFTER GAME despite catalogue of errors.

and tonight, just to cap it off.....

12. Stuart Fleetwood (centre forward) played LEFT WING.

13. Bradley Johnson (left footed centre midfielder) played RIGHT WING.

14. Colin Hawkins brought back into central defence to break up promising Elphick/Virgo partnership.

All this - in just FOUR months. FOURTEEN of the most bafflingly awful, breathtakingly incompetent, gut-wrenchingly stupid tactical decisions I have EVER seen by a Brighton manager in my 19 years of supporting the Brighton, crammed into a mere four sorry months of the season.

And some of you still think he's GOOD?

 

[Don Tmatter]

I agree, but we've got to stick with it

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Cracking thread that actually, you've got a good memory. I expect there's more though.

I'd like to know how many starting XI's he's used this season as well. We're as far from settled as you can be.

 

[Skaville]

Can we add:

15. Dean Cox consistently played on the left
16. McLeod consistently played on the right
17. Adam Virgo playing a blinder in central defence against a Premiership side, then having to wait nearly two months to get a game there

Can we add:

15. Dean Cox consistently played on the left

This is actually Dean Cox' preferred position. As for the others though, I think the best thing would have been for Micky to be asked to explain his selections in post match interviews. He gets a chance to explain and we get a chance to understand, everyones a winner.

18. The favouritism offered to Hawkins and Virgo. What happened to keep the shirt?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Kevin Thornton played right wing?

Preferred by whom?

That was all off the top of my head in about five minutes!! Frightening.

Seventeen DREADFUL decisions and counting....

 

[sir danny cullip]

Preferred by whom?

By him. I recall reading an interview with him when he said he doesnt mind any midfield position but prefers left wing.

 

[Jamie]

It has to be said, the list is not good..and MA thinks he is a football person, well I suppose he wears white socks, and with a list like that, he might not be that bright !

Never appoint a manager without a fake tan, a sharp suit and a taste for sh!t jewelry!

Despite this I am still surprised.Most are the same if we are honest. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and DK will be as surprised as the rest of us, but MA needs to realize that ittneeds sorting or he is on borrowed time.

Can we add Virgo as a lone striker away at Hartlepool while Sam Gargan was sat in the stand and Livemore AND Fraser were on the bench?

19.....

Come on folks, we can get to FIFTY!

 

[HseagullsH]

Turning up to the Leicester game with El-Abd, Fraser, Livermore, Thornton and Cox on the bench. 4 out and and out midfielders with El-Abd also predominately playing midfield.

he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!!!!

I have always said that Adams doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

 

[The Optimist]

How come we can all see they are such poor decisions yet Adams, who manages for a living, doesn't?

Or are we all wrong?
