So - Will You Stick With It - Like Micky Tells Us We Have To?

[Mendoza]

After some maybe controversial comments from Micky Adams, will you stick with it, like we just have to. Bearing in mind he is on a 3-year deal

We haven’t written this season off because that would be stupid, but myself and the Board have a long-term strategy which we are going to keep pursuing I don’t like losing but, while it might be frustrating for supporters at the moment, they are just going to have to stick with it

I've voted, but its not really what I think. The option I wanted wasn't there - 'No doubt I'll carry on going as I am a fool, and have been brainwashed into it over years of pain, BUT I am wholly dissatisfied with performances, value for money, and continued lack of respect for the fans from the cocky Northern idiot in the dugout'.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Long-term stategy? That includes replacing promising young first teamers with a variety of load signings seemingly only here to get match fitness does it? We're going backwards. I'm not sticking with it, quite the opposite in fact, resigning Adams has made me completely lose interest as it was an absolutely bewlidering decision that is not working.

 

[Icy Gull]

No choice really but I will continue to pick and choose my games as Adams has killed any enthusiasm I had from last season with a very very shit start to his 2nd reign. 4 games so far

 

[Rambo]

I have been to 2 games this season, Crewe away and Southend away, maybe I should start going again!

 

[footychick]

Do you mean, stick with it as in keep going to games?
I voted for the first one but misconstrued the question I think as I don't go to many games.

I dont know what it means, Adams just said we are just going to have to stick with it, he is not going to change anything

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

I think I need to go again, ive been to;

Man City
Leicester
Leyton Orient (JPT)
Swindon (JPT)

All wins!

Oh and Derby.

Mendoza you really do have some hang up and are totally anti MA arent you and in so doing cannot see any positives out of our games even the good ones.

BG you really do have some hang up and are totally anti Whing arent you and in so doing cannot see any positives out of our games even the good ones.

You have got me wrong. I am not anti Adams, I dont think we should sack him. I just think he makes some basic and obvious mistakes and we are paying for it.

Whether Wilkins would make the same mistakes, who knows, but that is irrelevant as he has gone.

I always look for positives, but you have to admit there a lack of them.

My positives for yesterday
6000+ crowd
Virgo playing well in his obvious best position as centre back
Kuipers played well
Thornton looked willing and good to have him back
Forster and Murray linking up again
Bradley Johnson's thunderblaster free kick

If I hated Adams that much I wouldnt go to all the games home or away, weekend or midweek.

If I thought it was that bad, I wouldnt have included the positive options on this poll, one of which I voted for myself

Lots of kids there on freebies, could explain that!!.

1500 including the Argus ones, still a positive for me to give BG

I will hold my hand up to that and say yes I am anti Whing until he has a decent error free game that doesnt cost us a goal. I simply do not think that he is (a) good enough for us now and (b) the best option that we have at right back.

He is a classic example of a player who was good when he came to us and whose standard has gone down since he has been here and training with us. The reason for this is open to conjecture.

Yes he has had good moments but they have mostly been glossed over by his mistakes like Saturdays appalling error.

If you want respect from Mickey Adams, and by that I presume you want an honest appraisal after a poor performance, then you might have a long wait. He is as likely to admit that the team are playing piss poor than Knight is too admit that he has ever f***ed up.
I have already missed more games this season than in the ten years since we have been back in Brighton. I hate Withdean and unless the side are playing either really attractive or successful football my visits are going to become less and less.
I cannot go to football and then just come back and moan every week, I`ve got enough other things I can moan about at a far cheaper price.

what have been your positives for Saturdays games, and the season since you say I never mention any?

I think other than his increasingly silly (and it was very very silly at the time) "7th in October" crack he has been quite respectful of the fans, even praising us, saying it is out right to boo, etc. Probably realises he needs to do whatever he can to keep people onside but still...

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I don't think he's yet accepted any responsibility in public for the cack that's been dished up for a much of this season - even after Carlisle where the team and management performance was an absolute disgrace.
He didn't like being questioned on team/personal objectives during the Argus pre-season "post-board" either - just facetious waffle about post delivery times in reply and now he's apparently talking about a long term strategy, For what? You adopt a strategy to deliver your objectives don't you?
And he called Mendoza a defeatist.

What about today's comments that 'yes its shit, but thats how I'm going to carry on, and the fans just have to put up with it'?

 

[RM-Taylor]

I voted it's a complete farce, because the football I've seen is.
