Which Adams team?
The team that played the opposition of the park to win the league? The team that played some of the best football I have seen for ages at Crewe or the team that was appalling yesterday?

The team that Adams had in the championship winning season was still direct football.

Completely disagree. I'm sure on the MANY times that season I was sat in the stands singing "it's just like watching Brazil" we were not just hoofing it.

Well perhaps you should take note of other managers comments on Adams team.He is well known for his direct play in the footballing world.Two home games which so far suggests no real change.Horrible long ball crap.

Rather judge what I see for myself. Thought we played great football when we won the league.
Agree completely with comments about the home games (although missed Bristol Rovers game). Did you go to Crewe? We played fantastic football and to be honest I was shocked at how poor we were yesterday compared to then.

Didn't go to Crewe no.We were actually worse at home to Rovers.At least we had a couple of chances against Orient.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks we played direct hoof football then obviously didn't go and watch the games.
I've voted Adams purely because I am judging over 30 odd games rather than the last two home games. Some people are right nob ends.

Did you go to Southend or the Barnet game?

Nope didn't go to Southend but listened to the radio instead.All the reports i've read was Southend were battering us untill the Sending off so you really can't judge that game.Barnet? Says it all really.

The only nob end is you pal if you think Adams is going to change his style over night.Two very average sides should have beaten us at home.

McGhee used the same direct tactics as Adams.

You missed a real treat at Crewe. We played great football.
Second half at Southend was very good as well (even before sending off we had improved).
Yesterday was my first home game of the season and I was shocked at what a difference there was.

all i remember under mcghee was us sitting back and holding onto 1-0 leads - wouldnt call it quality football, but it was certainly effective for one and a half seasons

MA is known amongst other managers to play virtually route one football with a solid midfield to stop the opposition breaking forward. This was the tactics he used to win our title with the ball being hit forward very quickly for BZ to chase. He will not change his tactics but will hopefully bring in some stregth in midfield.
Wilkins team played as if thy were unaware of what they were supposed to do and got bogged down with tactics and the board so it has to be McGhee's team for me.

No brainer as far as I'm concerned. Some of the play under McGhee was breathtaking.

as breathtaking as paxton dazo's sensational plymouth side many years ago on football manager?
