I would hope the team are getting the rollocking they need to get themselves into gear, rather than making them feel hard done by the ref.
Forget what he tells the media, just be concerned what he's telling the team.
Given Adams' track record of making outlandish comments in interviews, I'll take what he says with a pinch of salt until I've seen it. Normally, if we get denied a stonewall penalty those that did attend would have started about four threads moaning about officials and you'd be seeing comments about it all over the place. There weren't any. Even so, if the squad mentality is that weak that being denied a penalty has that big an effect then there is a serious problem.Justin":1i8rcp14 said:Argy1e":1i8rcp14 said:I haven't seen the 'penalty' to this point so I can't say. But I hadn't seen anyone mention it before Adams' interview.
Maybe because those that didn’t even watch the match are making their opinion heard louder than anyone else.
But hey, let’s trust them over Adams.
if derek left tomorrow who would you appoint of the managers available please?Phil Sloggett":khzx9ayo said:I wasn’t thrilled to see that Adams was awarded a new 5 year contract at the start of the season and am obviously even less convinced now.
Our players are generally offered 1 or 2 year deals to keep them ‘on their toes’ and performing well, yet he gets the security of a 5 year contract? How does that work?
The manager of a football club (or ‘Head of Football’, if you are inclined to call it that) is the single most powerful individual when it comes to the footballing side.
I think that to offer a person who has done pretty well but has shown his limitations such a long deal is something of a gamble as we surely cannot afford to buy out a £500k contract.
How many years did he have remaining at the start of this season? Three years? Would it not have made more sense to see how we started this season and then open contract negotiations?
With regards to the opening post, I personally found his comments about Portsmouth highly embarrassing.

Why did you find it embarrassing?
He had 2 years 3 months remaining of his 4 year contract when it was extended in May.

If Derek Adams were to leave then I would first advertise the post and then go through the list of candidates, I would then compile a shortlist and interview a set of candidates (probably between 3 to 5 people, depending on the shortlist).
I don’t know who would succeed Derek Adams if he were to leave, as I don’t know who would be interested in replacing him, but I know that he would almost certainky not resign and it would be incredibly costly to sack him.

I had the perfect view and I was sitting next to Pompey fans and they agreed it was 100% a pen.
Fair shout, I’m one of them I suppose. To me Adams continually hangs himself, with his tactics, comments, all it needs is poor form for for his detractors to voice there opinion. Adams is a divisive character. There’s a reason for that!Since I Was 33":37amiwef said:Thing is that although some of criticisms of DA and the team's peformance have some vailidity there are a lot of posters on here that have just simply got it in for him.

I can’t remember Adams ever using excuses, he always gives reasons normally quite detailed and specific as he did yesterday.
He was right about the penalty though wasn’t he?
It should have been given. Is he not allowed to mention it when it’s a pivotal moment of the game?
He also said we gave the ball away for the first 2 goals.
Again, not an excuse. I imagine he’d have been furious about how softly we gave them possession both times.
