I'm not convinced, players he had over various points last seaosn that we don't have now include Racon, Hammond, O'Calagahan, Hammond.
Our entire midfield has left and all we've got in is Livermore who Adams doesn't seem to want to play there. And Virgo who shouldn't be there but is.
McLeod has come instead of Westlake which might be alright if he was fit for five minutes. Lynch and Butters are gone, Hawkins is in.
Maybe when we had the loan players there was an argument but right now we are definitely weaker.

But we were stronger in the second half of last season, when we had Racon and Westlake, but not Hammond or O'Callaghan. I'd argue its probably swings and roundabouts and the squad is probably of a similar strength to last year. The problem is the manager isn't, as the Virgo problem indicates.

I definitely agree that the management has been worse this season, but personally I think one of Adams' failings was that he inherited a nucleus of decent players in the spring but failed to add anything to it. In the summer and with at least some of the loan signings.
You're simply wrong - we finished 7th last season whereas this season we are one point from the relegation places. We are considerably more shit than last season, despite having crammed our team with more expensive players. Maybe if the manager played our players in their correct positions, we'd suddenly have a stronger squad, but he picks the players in the positions he sees fit, and we're a gash outfit under Adams.
In answer to Mr Burns, I couldn't give a f*** how many players we've signed as of now. As long as we've got reinforcements by the time the window CLOSES I'll be happy.

I'm sorry I think there's a hell of a lot of revisionism going on here.
Players out since the end of last season:
Westlake
Racon
Lynch
Butters
Richards
Thompson
Players in since:
McLeod
Livermore
Hawkins
Virgo
With the exception of Richards and Thompson (who have both JUST left, and I hope will be imminently replaced), we've swapped Westlake (who, by the end of his spell here, people were saying was not playing very well) for McLeod, Racon for Livermore, Lynch for Virgo and Butters for Hawkins.
At the start of the season most people on here were happy that we'd strengthened the squad (not massively, but strengthened none-the-less) and were optimistic.
I'm not saying we aren't gash, of course we are. You only have to see the performances and the league position to know that. But this talk of us having a terrible squad compared to last year is wrong, IMO. I actually think, Simster, that you're agreeing with me (although you may not want to admit it). Adams has f***ed up what was a pretty good squad.
You really don't like it when someone put's a reasonable question on ask the club do you - still as they say the truth does hurt
