In hindsight, this question should have created a poll. I suspect that, following 135 posts, 'Yes' would have won and 'undecided' would have come second.

I don't think Wembley was due to lack of effort, more a case of playing the wrong team. Our main problem last year is that we couldn't cope with the teams who play negative football. Wimbledon did a good job of stopping us playing as they knew that this was their best way of beating us, if we had played Wycombe I'm sure that the result would have been the same.
Teams sussed out our weakness and exploited it. If we had Pompey or Northampton at Wembley, we would have had a good chance of being in league 1 now.

Dave, here's the definition of the word 'fan'
An enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fan
You see fans are meant to be enthusiastic. That's what the word means. Yet you seem to object to fans who are enthusiastic, frequently calling them 'green tints' and 'happy clappers'.
Do you understand why people get frustrated by your posts? Why not accept that people are fans and allow enthusiasm?
Yes we should be in a higher division but we're not, and criticising other supporters isn't going to change that, is it?

Really!!!!
We capitulated in the final 3rd of the season and didnt turn up at Wembley. The results during the run in wete poor and our Home form was horrible. I cant remember a game whete DA changed it around when it wasnt working in this period and Wembley was a good example of that. Saying that you can see what DA isctrying to do this season. Northampton got out on Strength ans Power and I think thats ehat DA ia aiming for. Not sure if Carey is out who will be in that creative role but Im sure theres a plan
Last season is done and the new one is nearly upon us. We all just need to get behind DA, Brew and PW and now. COYG !

I accept and like your post, it sums up how I think the majority of "fans" feel, however in its purest form I think it is an exercise in semantics. I find it frustrating that certain posters, no names no pack drills but we all know who they are, never post when results are good but burn up the keyboard when we lose, buy a player they don`t fancy etc. etc.

Surely the joy of this sort of forum is as many different opinions as possible? I certainly don't want everyone else spouting exactly the same as me. Why allow others to frustrate you? It's only an internet forum, and you can turn off the posters you don't like if you only want to read those who broadly see things the same way as yourself.
I don't buy the reasoning that the manager is solely to blame for the poor final third to the season. The facts are we only had 17 players start 10 or more games last season, 5 of which were loanees. We had a small squad that when injury to key players kicked in struggled and tired throughout the season, a small squad that meant we lacked options for player rotation and substitutes to influence games.
The manager clearly knows this is the case and with a full preseason has assembled a genuine squad of players, from my point of view with experience at higher level than this. Hopefully this experience will benefit us more during the crunch moments in the coming season.
One thing Mr Adams will have to address is our home form. 8 defeats including that against an already relegated Dag & Red is what cost us the most. Just four points from those 8 games would have made the difference.

Since that's aimed unnecessarily at me I'll respond!
Cant say I found you a bundle of laughs either! Apart from the recent comment that the pitch cost us promotion. Worrying thing is I think you believe it.
Point is do we want a site which is just a club mouth piece(we all know how well IJN is connected to the club) with happy clappers like pafc 1996 replicating the nonsense on the official site or do we want genuine debate? Its very sad that doubts or concerns raised appear to be seen as treachery which is absolute nonsense.

Oh dear, all I said was your were a miserable sod (with a smiley I would add :greensmile: ) and you were that day. I was laughing and joking with others as we won 2-0 but you weren't happy with that from memory, you said we had a bad 2nd half. :lol:
As for this site being a club mouth piece, we certainly don't no one does.
As it happens, I have fears about this season, too many changes for my liking, far too many BUT I don't go on and on and on about them like some of you do.
Don't you get it BG, it's not the fact that you guys are being accused of treachery, if we were all in a bar and we saw some miserable bugger saying 'We are crap' time and time again, people would stand up and say 'FFS, stop saying the same thing' or something similar.
I think that's all people are saying.
I'd also point out that guys like you and UTL seem to get pleasure out of misery, that's not normal is it?

I have to highlight a section IJN says because I think its important and is how I feel currently about Argyle's situation.
Its no doubt a number of us share concerns. I'm not convinced so many players can gel so quickly, even if they are mostly of a reasonable standard. It would still take time. So we share a little "realism" as you put it.
Yet like IJN says, its the way you go on and on and on with your negative clap trap repeating the same anti-Argyle crap. Its constant dribble. The worst thing is you don't even realise I think what your doing. If you do, it makes you even more weirder to embroil yourself in doing this week after week.

That's where you get it wrong. We are not saying we are crap all the time, certainly not me, just trying to give some perspective to what seems a large majority who have a blind optimism. The reality is hopefully in between. This squad doesn't look good enough to win promotion to me and there ARE too many changes, but I doubt we will struggle either! I don't have the blind faith many do in DA but I sure hope I'm wrong.
No doubt that will be construed as another piece of outrageous negativity.
