James Brent was impressed by how quick they got Derek Adams into the managers job......of course he might be comparing it with the Grandstand development which seems to be taking a tad longer.
Gordon Sparks has been quoted as saying that......John Harbin.Sean McCarthy and Rhys Wilmot have left the club.....Paul Wotton has a year left on his contract and seems to be staying. I assume that John Sheridan's brother is no longer scouting for the club.
Just hoping that we don't end up like Stevenage where everyone wants them to do badly because they hate their manager
Other sites saying that Craig Brewster might be coming.....he was Adams assistant at Ross County 2010.
I go away for a few days and look what happens, I can't trust anyone for 5 minutes can I. When I switched on my machine a few minutes ago I was not aware of who had been appointed until I read this thread. My first thought was Who? I've never heard of this bloke as a player or a manager. Not that surprising really I suppose. I've read your comments now to catch up and save me looking it all up. I don't really know what to say or make of this. He sounds different that's for sure and to be fair that isn't a bad thing from Mr no personality or passion. I said I wanted somebody who cared. If this guy shows some passion and that he hates to lose and cares then I've no choice but to back him and I will. Be honest, who knew much about luggy first time around and look what happened..
I've been reading the stories that have appeared from time to time by the players. Apart from talking about themselves and how looking forward to the season they all are, most have mentioned the Manager in their speil. Now I know that they don't want to hack off their new boss before the season starts and that they could be just a bit jaudiced in their views but there is a theme running through the interviews without exception. Reid is the lates. Pretty much to a man they all seem to be happy and impressed with Adams and his training regime and fitness programme. They all seem to agree that he gives a lot of attention to detail and as Reid added he does things over and over to get them right. We haven't kicked a bal in real anger yet I know and the players could be talking a load of bull but I have to say I'm quietly impressed with what is coming out of HP at the moment.
I think when I said something about players being positive about the manager, somebody correctly pointed out that "they would say that wouldn't they"! We'll see, at the moment the test seems to be how to avoid conceding too many goals whilst playing the attacking style he wants. The back 5 will need to perform well but who will he play in central midfield? McHugh as the first line of defence with the front 5 given the licence to roam?
