I don't think it was necessarily the poor opposition to last seasons pre season although of course it didn't help, but you have to couple that with some very poor recruitment on Adams part, those he brought in , particularly defence wise , never gelled the whole season & were sub standard lge1 . Put all together & you have disaster written all over the season.

It isn't about winning or losing to Yeovil, Cardiff or Tavistock.
The Dutch trip is about team building, familiarisation, shapes and morale.
Let's not be just about money eh? We can save that till we get to the Prem!! :facepalm:
you can build morale anywhere.i seem to remember luggy marque one touring scotland against " scottish tavistock and yeovil".the dutch trip is a total waste of money in my opinion!Pogleswoody":3s95y1pb said:
The last two pre-seasons have been dreadful and not up to snuff. My take on it was that it was down to DA and his failure to recruit properly and in regulation time. I believed that partly the problem was his waiting and waiting until GC10 re-signed before turning his attention to other targets.
Are we now suffering or going to suffer because we appear to be waiting too long to appoint a manager and the one man we know about is taking his own sweet time to answer a simple question! Yes or no?
That/this looks likely to set us up for another dreadful pre-season, we’ve known we’ve needed a manager since the week before the season ended and supposedly we’ve interviewed a few? When the new man comes in he will have to sort out those wanting to stay, those that might or not want to go before he even thinks about who is needed for next season. That’s without thinking of his staff.
How far are we in prepping for pre-season games? Many clubs already know who they are playing and where but we are in a void knowing when or if we have pulled in any better opponents than Torquay.
Don’t players normally report back in late June?
There’s a lot to be sorted by the new man and should he get it wrong we could find ourselves out of depth in league 2, heaven forbid.

Hopefully Roscrow is out there doing some of the donkey work regardless of who the new manager is. Seeing who is available, and will hopefully bring a list to the new gaffer when recruited. We shouldnt be starting from Day 1 when he arrives. The new mamager probably has some ideas up his sleeve and if he has been interviewed i assume he knows what shape the squad is in so will be able to quickly address who goes and who needs an improved contact offer over and above what was offered in the mandatory timeframe to prevent them walking away.

Agree entirely with Ade the green,as has been said on other threads who ever comes in is really going to have to hit the ground running I hope for all .our sakes the new man has been appointed & Hallett & co are just waiting for the appropriate time to announce his appointment
I thought Adams brought in players quite early last year....the problem was the quality of (too) friendly opposition...which was exposed when we played the mighty Yeovil (5-1 drubbing).
