Who DO you blame for this f*** up of a season

[hans kraay fan club]

Combination of Adams and the players really. To blame 'Adams 100%' is ridiculous, when you think how many of the players haven't reached anywhere near last seasons form.

Good point. The players' level of performance is nothing to do with the MANAGER, is it?...

 

[Silent Bob]

Dick Knight/the board for their rubbish decision to bring back Adams.
Adams for being rubbish.

It works both ways though. You can't honestly say that a footballers level of performance depends on nothing but the manager.

I don't think you can blame Adams for:

Kuipers being average, as opposed to outstanding last season
Elphick looking fairly ordinary as opposed to player of the season
Richards turning from a fairly useful full back into a piss-poor one.
Cox being generally shite.

You CAN however blame him for the Lynch saga, the useless signings, the wasteful use of Virgo and Livermore, the constant playing players out of position and the negative, ineffective tactics.

Okay, I'm being LITTLE flippant.

Of course the players have responsibilty for their performances. Being played out of position, when you're half fit, with people whose name you don't know playing alongside you, is not exactly conducive to great performances, though...

Quite.

 

[ack]

Knight for sacking Wilkins (who could of been an up and coming manager).
Adams was a spent force. I have mates living up here who Are Cov and Leics fans, and all hate the bloke for his 2nd rate tactics and weired team selections.
I didnt want him back as I did post at the time, so 2 votes I need, Knight and Adams.

 

[perth seagull]

Adams is personally responsible for the team's poor performance and our current predicament. Most of the blame goes to him.

Knight's biggest mistake was not so much appointing Adams, but being far too slow to sack him. If he was given the sack in October, things would not have escalated to the total debacle we are in now.

 

[public school boy]

I blame The Romans.What have they ever done for us anyway?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

DK and the puppet masters have to take overall responsibility.

 

[bhaexpress]

I blame God because we're all his children (allegedly).

 

[BLOCK F]

Adams has to take most of the blame,for many of the reasons that have already been posted.
I was rather surprised to see him appointed in the first place as it is always a huge gamble to return a manager to a former club and rarely works out.His track record since leaving us first time round was patchy and that is being charitable.....so for that,the board have to take some responsibility.
It may sound a little bit strange ,but doubts first entered my head about this season when I saw Adams and his management team at a pre season friendly,before kick off.They were sitting in the clubhouse bar and I remember feeling that he gave the distinct impression of complete and utter disinterest....what the hell am I doing here sort of thing.
I mentioned this to my wife a bit later and said,he just doesn,t look up for it......the rest is history!!
Later on in the season,his peculiar tactics and player positioning were one thing,but his performances in the post match interviews he chose to give,confirmed to me that he was a spent force.
We face a hell of a fight to stay up now and I believe he should have been sacked at least two months earlier.

 

[The Large One]

Everyone.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Everyone.

Including me?

 

[Gritt23]

It's never one single person to blame.

Dick Knight. It was a big call to sack Wilkins and bring Adams back, and it is only fair he be judged on how it panned out. The jury's in, and it was a disaster.

That pretty much sums it up for me.

 

[glasfryn]

none of the above.

if that lot of nimbys over in Lewes had not objected to Falmer we would be there now and things would look distinctly different

 

[Don Quixote]

Whoever said the fans are just absolute nobs.

 

[alex_brighton]

why would people say the fans?

 

[Russell Slade's hat]

To be fair adams was dealing with shit at the time,
Dick Knight should of got rid of adams ages and ages ago.

 

[Questions]

I blame Gordon Smith. If he had scored things would have turned out so different.



Of course Knight should shoulder the blame for this relegation. He brought Adams back and thats irrespective of the Wilkins sacking.
