Fair point, but I think it's safe to say the decision (if there was one) to keep Adams after 12 games was 'right' considering the run we've been on.

Jason Lowe? That's a rumour I have heard. Fits your description.Penmaster":qloecuwp said:Heard a rumour yesterday so vague it's barely worth repeating but apparently a midfield replacement for Toums is lined up and apparently 'it's not someone you would have thought would sign for us'. The inference was it was a relatively big name for us. The source was a bloke at work who allegedly spoke to someone linked to the club in some capacity. I don't know any more than that but surely the 3 players who have left plus likely departure of Blissett means there is space in the squad and some form of budget available.

The counter to that of course is if the money given to Adams had been given to someone else we could have been in the guaranteed promotion places.

And that is why I think Adams is 'only' doing a good job so far and not a fantastic one. I agree with Adams that one up front is the way to go in most normal circumstances but before Taylor was fit again it was quite clear that we had no one near good enough to play the lone role.djg145":l6lyvfis said:I have never understood WHY players are signed that do not fit into how the Manager wants to play - what is the point?
Why sign a player then either try and play him in a different position or in a style of play that is alien to him - it does the club no good and definitely is no good to the player.

If Adams has a preferred style of play it is based on counter attacking, so Ainsworth and Wylde fit in perfectly as evidence by Ainsworth’s part in our winning goal at Bradford.
