Derek’s win record- more than 42%, is very impressive.
I often wonder what would have happened at Argyle if the board had backed him in 2018., allowing him to sign ‘Dave’, retain Bradley and threkald ( as well as signing matthews and vyner permanently). I think it’s more than possible he could have got us up into the championship, 2018-2019. The 2-0 win against Blackburn was the “ high water mark mark” of the Adams era.That team was the best we’ve seen at Home Park in the last 5 years.
It must have broken his heart having to sign Moore, ASB, and Peter grant, the following season. Even though the defensive frailties of that side were there for all to see - I really did feel for him as a person ( as opposed to a football manager) when the Devonport turned on him in 2019- that’s got to be tough for anybody to take.
Very happy that he’s achieved success at Morecambe -a fantastic achievement. Even more remarkable if you consider that he lost his best player- Adam Phillips in January ( recalled by Burnley).
If he joins Bradford ( as expected) and takes them up to the championship ( very possible, in my opinion), then the skys the limit for him I feel ....
