Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted August 10, 2014 I find it really difficult to understand how we can go into this season with Martin as a first choice central defender. Based on what? It certainly isn''t our record with him there, or his ability in the air, or strength? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 29 Posted August 10, 2014 We''ve been poor today.. wrong players in the wrong system!Hoolahan, Surman, Redmond and Johnson have been completely ineffective.Wrong players in the wrong system, here''s hoping Adams has some better ideas.Johnson at the base? Redmond upfront? It''s not gonna work Neyullllll! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightside 0 Posted August 10, 2014 The massive problem for me is that very little seems to have improved since last season. Ok it''s the first game of the season but where''s the passion and determination? Plus why the hell are we playing people out of position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,571 Posted August 10, 2014 [quote user="PurpleCanary"]Lightweight in midfield, but that is where the suspensions/injuries/unfitnesses are at the moment.[/quote]We are missing Fer, Howson and O''Neil from midfield and Tettey may not have been regarded as fully match-fit after his injury.

HELVEG26 0 Posted August 10, 2014 How important is the first game of the season? Disapointing to see so many players not in the squad, we could have put out a really strong first 11. Obviously some players dont see their futures here so I can see it being a while before the squad settles down. Does not bode well for a good start to the season.Still strange setup today, would have liked to have seen a 442, going back to basics with crossing balls into the box.

Delias Love Child 0 Posted August 10, 2014 After the last 5 games of dross that he had last season you would have thought if Adams really wanted this he would have come out and made a statement of intent. Instead he''s let Wolves dictate the game to him. We can make all the excuses again (shouldn''t have been a yellow card, Fer is out injured etc etc). But the sad fact is we have looked woeful and uninspired. He has to show he is the man to take us forward and it''s not happening yet. At least McNally will get his bonus from the parachute payments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,789 Posted August 10, 2014 this has been so bad, you could easily make a case for as many as 9 changes for next week (injuries permitting) RuddyMartin Bennett Turner Garrido Tettey O''Neil Fer Howson Lafferty Hoopertime to come clean about the Fer and Bassong situations....if theyre on our payroll, we''ve got to play them?

The Judge 0 Posted August 10, 2014 Hopefully we will get a honest post match assessment from Adams rather than ''we were just getting into our stride when the sending off happened which obviously changed the game'' .....

BroadstairsR 2,185 Posted August 10, 2014 Could any one of us have predicted a more awful display? I know it is very early days, but I had my doubts about Adams at the end of last season. Not one meaningful attempt at goal against a side who are not that good and played league one last season. We have a complete duffer on our hands. Thank you Delia & Co. If anybody wants to contradict my stance from today''s embarrassing performance then now is your chance. Not one shot on target in the whole match. I A nightmare come true.

Mickdundee 0 Posted August 10, 2014 Everything that I hoped wouldn''t happen today, pretty much has happened. Absolute garbage from start to endBad tactics, team selection, performance,inability to change things quick enough, even the kit looks rubbish. Seriously though this can''t be let to go on too long Or else well be in the championship for years. Is Neil Lennon still looking for a job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
