Time to face facts: Adams is here until the end of the season

Why Doug this season we have been SHITE. Why should I shut up. I am actually embarrassed at how I thought Wilkins was utter shite and was not happy with 7th last season as I stated 7th was meaningless and was the same as 20th. Little did I know then that the side, youth structure, spirit, motivation, football style would be destroyed by Adams this season.
I was a big Adams fan and up until 2 months ago still believed he was the right man but it is clear he is not the right man and the problem with BHAFC and the whole set up is not the team it is Adams. It hurts me to say it but Adams is a pale imitation of the man we had 7 years ago and his baffling and embarrassing comments prove he has lost the plot. the fact he has lowered the bar so far that he sees a 1-2 home defeat against a poor side as a good perfomance says it all.
I am afraid I epect to see us in the bottom 2 by the middle of February and I also expect Luton to beat us over the 2 legs. We would be better to start all over again with another manager now and hope he uses any funds wisely.

Northampton will beat us.
Because nothing changes - we have won 5 games all season that is not good enough and any other manager in any football club would have been sacked - we were a team that finished 7th last season - whatever the manager that team just needed strenghtening - not destroying which is what Micky has done
This is my first post of the new year and I'm going to try and quit moaning at him. Yes, he's done a f***ing shit job so far but this is a new year and we've finally just won a game. However, I'm expecting Adams to learn from last years mistakes and bring in some PROPER signings and not past-it loanees at the expense of Wilkins's promising crop. To be fair, I am pleased to see Sullivan get a run in the side and I hope Kuipers is made to work for his place if he gets it back at all - I'm hoping this sort of thing is a sign of things to come.
Come on Micky, sort them out, get them playing (in their correct positions ideally) and the legions of pissed off fans like me will soon be back on side. We don't want to be f***ed off with what we've seen, we really don't (well most of us).

What so you think that he wouldn't have got us higher than Micky - at least the players looked like they wanted to play for Dean

We have won less home league games than Lewes.
Anyone who thinks that shows progress or is acceptable needs their head examined.

People seem to have very quickly forgotten some of the dire football Wilkins served up last season - diamond formation anyone ? Or maybe the Mansfield game ( which I personally believe is one of the worst games I've seen in YEARS ! ).
And yes, it is my personal opinion that we would have been relegated with Wilkins this season - he fluked it last season.

Diamond formation? I think Wilkins actually used the 4-1-3-2 formation as a plan b.
So nothing like we have been playing with El Adb sitting deeper behind three more central midfielders?
I wish people would actually watch games.
Utter crap my good sir. Have you no shame?
Opinion rather than crap but no, I'm not ashamed of my opinion.

I thought Wilkins would not improve on 7th and believed we would probably be mid table this season. When Adams came in I was over the Moon. I expected therefore 6th to be the minimum target based on the fact the board and Adams stated he was brought in to take BHAFC forward and progress.
Now checking the league table this morning we are 18 points off 6th after 1/2a season. How on earth can that be considered progress ?. Even Alastair Campbell would have a job trying to spin that into a positive story.
Adams has lowered the bar so far now that to avoid relegation is to be considered a glorious season against all the odds. Well I ain't buyin it

Fair enough. I think you are being rather harsh though in suggesting that by retaining Wilkins we would have been relegated this year. 7th place is difficult to fluke whereas 19th is rather less so.

Fair enough but I see progress being over a longer period of time possibly with some short term pain. As far as I can see Adams has been brought in to get us to the Championship when we run out at Falmer - that's a long term aim. If after say, a season and a half, it's obvious he can't achieve that then fine, sack him but at least give him a decent crack at the whip.

Now you're just being pathetic. I could counter that by saying we have won more away games that West Brom.

Thats all very well, but he has tactically been USELESS.
He has played Virgo in nearly every position on the pitch to make sure he's in the team, played Hawkins when he was quite clearly not fit, as well as not making subs against Colchester until the 80th minute, and therefore sacrificising at least an effort at being more attacking and getting 3 points.
He might bring better players in but being tactically astute means making good decisions about lineups and substitutions regardless of what you have at your disposal. Micky quite clearly does NOT have this and I don't see it as being something that he can turn around: you either have it or you don't.

Face up to the facts all you stupid arse lickers. We beat swindon. Wow! We should be knocking five past a team like that. Even last year with that awful manager Dean Wilkins we managed to own them. How many points do we have again? How many games have we played? I think you know it is a disgrace but you just can't own up to it. I feel sorry for you, still thinking Micky is a tactical genius and that he will magic up a run of 20 unbeaten games that will power us forward to midtable! Midtable!! Yes!! WOW!
I always thought this season was a play off push but oh well...

More away games than West Brom? Hardly a huge claim to fame is it...
Last season was not a fluke - the difference with this season and last is last season if we were losing a game we were on some getting draws this season we just seem to lose or lose the lead (if we have it)
Also if things needed changing Dean would - Micky just scratches his head
