Adams - Knob

1) Whatever happened to 'if it aint broke don't fix it'?
Why the f*** was Thomson playing today? He's clearly not good enough, and is living off the fact that he captained some second rate bunch of jock bafoons. Livermore and Loft oozed class on Tuesday night, but instead he goes with that moron.
2) Whatever happened to 'if it aint broke don't fix it'?
Why the f*** was Lynch not playing today? Hawkins had possibly the WORST game from a central defender i've ever seen at the club. Surely it was obvious from Scunthorpe's win last weekend that they were a reasonably pacey outfit? So why are we playing that OAF?
3) Matt Richards - how the HELL is he a midfielder? You've got two midfielder's on the bench, what's the bloody point if you're not going to use them?
These three things, combined with the fact that he stood looking like an utter prick after half time, having done precisely BUGGER all to alter the fact that we were being pissed on at home. He had what can only be described as a complete 'Wilkins' of a game. Joke tactics, indecisive and ultimately shit decisions. Sort it OUT!
Unfortunately for us Adams is unlikely ever to have a 'Wilkins of game',
Hearing Adams it seems he is bereft of ideas and beyond his 'up and at em' and 'long ball game' and 'we got out muscled' his tactical knowledge seems inept.
I now see why the club, Adams and even DK, seemed determined to keep Wilkins on as first team coach.

I agree with alot of these points but to start the thread with Adams knob is a bit pathetic really. If I was Adams I would wonder whether to bother for you ungrateful bastards

Agreed he was very poor today and should be dropped for next game but up until today he had played 6 games in which we conceeded only 2 goals.
Agree with all the comments about the midfield. I am stunned loft did not get any time at all after Adams said he was "tremendous" on Tuesday.
I like Adams a lot and have a lot of faith in him. Think he got it wrong today though.
I fear the ungrateful bastards might just be sitting in the Directors box today !!!!

The Hawk had his first worst game for us, something tells me that he isn't fit and is struggling with this groin injury.

It's fair enough for Adams to be philosophical after that defeat, disappointing as it was.
Scunthorpe are a good side, everyone saw that for themselves today, were not embarrassed in the Championship last season and arguably have strengthened over the summer.
The failings in the Brighton team were laid bare for all to see. Four soft goals from a defensive point of view, major deficiencies in defence and midfield, and the loan system needs plundering urgently to plug the gaps and increase the options. I also felt we didn't have leaders out there when the ball was pinging about our box, people taking the responsibility in and around the area.
Seeing Andy Crosby on their bench (I imagine he is some sort of defensive coach) we could do with whatever he's telling them, and I thought their young loan guy from Birmingham was outstanding. Also good to hear their hat-trick fella get a decent ovation as he came off, not always been the Withdean way.
Having said all that, Albion created chances and the outcome could have been different if our finishing had been like theirs. I think this result and display will just have confirmed to Adams some things he already knew, and hopefully he will address them.

Reason why he pushed Richards up from Left back was their right winger was skining him alive. If Mayo had come on he would have been even worse. Richards couldn't win a header to save his live today.
I thought the decision was obvious WW?
I hope to see a couple of loan signings and Scunthorpe to do well this season.
Keep the faith bitches!

It makes me laugh how everyone is saying Scunthorpe are such a good side.They were shit in the division we are trying to get into.

Talk about fairweather fan..... (support Lewes then)
Can i just say yes the team were awful today but have been the same at home all see so far - i would like to point out though at one point we had kuipers lynch elphick richards whing cox thomson murray and forster on the pitch at the same time - they played well together last season so why is everything so different now?

they are one of the best sides we are going to come up against this season, and they were far far better than us today and deserved the three points
which says a lot about us really and any championship aspirations we might have.....

Go on then Deb - gives us your opinion. Why is everything so different now?
Well what parts of the club influence consitently poor performances.
Players, managers and coaching staff, I would say.
That would seem a reasonable conclusion.
Maybe you would like to offer something else ??
