I don't really get it. We have IMO the best squad in the league. Literally the best squad in the entire league yet we are a midtable team at present and sliding down the table at an alarming rate - relegation form. TMy reservations when we appointed Adams were not that I thought he would fail spectacularly and get us relegated it was simply was Adams really the best man for the job out of all the managers out there? On basis of current form, not a chance I would say.
We cannot simply sack Adams now though however frustrating the results are. The tricky thing is, Middlesborough and Wolves aside we have played pretty well for most of the season. Yet we find ourselves in the position were Ipswich, a team who operate on a fraction of a budget (and to any Binners reading this, I actually mean this in a complimentary way) and who on paper wouldn't get more than a couple of their players into our first XI if any are 4 points ahead of us and winning every game they play simply because they have a far, far better manager than us.
I've always maintained that with the squad we have anything less than promotion will be complete failure. Yet right now this looks a long shot and if we don't get promoted I really fear we will be picked bare next season of our best players and be condemned to an eternity of Championship mediocrity.
Adams promised us football to bring a smile to our faces. Right now I see football to bring a grimmace to my face. Today Forest didn't deserve even a point although they improved a great deal in the second half. But they caught us repeatedly on the break and once again this proved our undoing. What does Adams expect if he is playing two CBs with no pace and afforded no protection? Michael Turner is an excellent defender and more or less our player of the season on current form but he, even more so Cuellar are both slow so if keep leaving them so exposed there is nothing we can do yet Adams persists to play like this. At best naive, at worst utterly clueless.
I'm not calling for Adams to be sacked, I'm still behind him as my signature says. But in no uncertain teams we need a massive improvement immediately. If we can't beat the Birminghams of this league that puts us under to pressure to beat the Forests (who were on a six game loss streak until now) and the Middlesboroughs. I pray we this sorted.
