Is Adams Under Pressure?

[Indy 3,471]

Your being ultra harsh 1 touch!

The club in general is being run very well and in Adams they gambled on him being the next Walker.

We are not playing bad football but we are playing the slow build up which does not suit the players we have. Its noticable when the tempo goes up that teams can''t cope with us. So the question is why do we play such a style, why don''t we go at it from the kick off?

As for the manager was not my first, second or any choice but he was installed as manager and gets my backing for the time being, but I feel I have the right as a long serving season ticket holder to criticise as does the next fan.

I will never take a negative attitude into the ground but on here it''s good to vent views and ask questions.

"The shambolic way the club is run means that we won''t walk the league as we ought to" - heard it all now.

Can you tell me a team that has "walked the league" in recent years after being relegated from the prem? The only ones I can think of that went straight back up were QPR and West Ham and both of those were via the play-offs (if I remember right).

[/quote]How much longer will we remain in the top 6 though ? we are now in freefall and a few more results like we are getting now will see us sliding into the bottom half before long , we have played hardly any of the so called better teams in this league yet either .Hughton walked this league with a decent Newcastle side and i for one think he would have done a far better job for us than the rookie is , in fact it was pointless sacking him to instantly replace him with somebody inferior .

Freefall?

[Indy 3,471]

This Friday is a big game for the team & manager, till now yhe supporters have been very supportive but anything other than a result will only heap more pressure on Adams.

I''m sure we will win but if we don''t the Give him 10 games to turn it around threads will start no doubt.

Negative Negative Negative!......We are a big club so there is always pressure with this job!

If you think that my friend, you are as naive as Adams himself! And just who is slating Adams. And the expectation of the fans is correct, given the ''attacking mandate'' that Neil Adams himself endorsed at the commencement of the season. Did you see the game yesterday. Have you watched the team this season? We have not scored in the first half of the last TEN games, and we have not won in eight. Yesterday he picked a defensive formation to not lose, and we creating very very little![/quote]

No I didn''t see the game yesterday but I''ve been a season ticket holder for 5 years. I admit that we took a while to get going but which player was allegedly pulling of world class saves yesterday??? Yes be confident but also respect your opposition. And I take your point about not scoring in the first half of the last 10 games so what would you do to change that statistic that Adams hasn''t? Football is a matter of opinions but look at the bigger picture.

Newcastle under hughton ran away with the league

We should be further up the league than we are with the advantages in squad and finances we have this year

But we have deliberately hamstrung ourselves by appointing a novice manager, crazy

[Nuff Said 5,950]

Come on then, everyone who is convinced that our current course is so wrong - what would YOU do now?Put up or shut up (or support the team).

[Indy 3,471]

For me nothing, we stand by Adams as we all have at every game.

But he has a huge job to turn things around as I said an experienced manager will go through bad periods where results don''t come now we have to suppirt the team on Friday.

But this is a forum for discissions not just to blindly follow and think everything is fantastic when its not at the moment.

As there is nothing that anyone can do its a bit pointless

But if I''d had anything to do with it he wouldn''t have been given the job in the first place

You asked so here goes:

Adams on appointment asked the club to employ Joe Royle. The reasons he did this are obvious - an experienced coach whom he could sound of, and learn from.

Not withstanding Adams inexperience, his coaching team are also inexperienced. It shows in our last seven or eight performances, and no more so than yesterday. Gary Holt only had one season coaching Falkirk, our other coaches were promoted from the youth set up. Nothing wrong with that, every one has to learn. But consider this, why do industry have apprenticeships? So those with experience can teach the newly introduced staff the job.

Royle chose to return to his home club, and NCFC and Neil left it at that.

Therefore my suggestion is we look for someone with that same knowledge, to help Neil, to look at his tactics and team selection and style of play, and have experienced input into the coaching set up.

The current course is not so wrong, but it could become so very quickly, so that''s what I would do, I would look to bring that experience in, and I do not think NA would be against it either!

so can you imagine the squeaks on here if that were to happen over the next four games ?

ps anyone remember what happened at the end of that season ?

Think this is the best option. Adams has certainly been found out and disturbingly we are looking less and less effective each game.

I realise I''m being a little alarmist but it seems to me that managerial inexperience is a significant factor. The only reason we remain where we are is because other teams haven''t taken their chances either.

Without wanting to rant, I think we need to introduce some much needed experience into the managerial team. This would be easiest done by filling Joe Royle''s vacant position rather than sacking and appointing a new manager, with its involved costs and disruptions.

Adams has shown he can coordinate an attacking free-scoring side at times, but he obviously needs help with sustaining this.

*I think that the unique position that we are in certainly gives us the opportunity to make such a move without seeming to step on Adams'' toes.

Mike Walker came from a similar position within the club, played attacking entertaining football, was our most successful manager ever and is still in Norwich. Could he be our man to guide Neil?

[nutty nigel 7,899]

I wonder what Mike Walker would have made of having someone like Ken Brown thrust upon him to stick their awe in....

[smooth 114]

Yes adams is under pressure, the next three games are over 8-9 days.

We need points in those a minimum of 7... If not then the game at the end of November is critical. If we have not put a run of wins in the next month then the pressure will be on. As if you want to bring in a new manager you should over December, then he has the jan transfer window.

If this run had followed on from wolves I think the pressure would have mounted and he could have been in real trouble. We turned round results when we were playing bad and got plucky, blackpool, Blackburn, Cardiff and possibly Watford with the early sending off.

But we got results in those games when they looked unlikely for different reasons.

Adams needs to work out his best 11, for me o''neill was always miles better than Johnson and so I am glad that he may get a sniff.

I think adams will shake the pack again, certainly with VOO injured at the moment.

But we can still win it is just we need to go on a very good run this coming month. In this league you need to be aware of dry spells but pick up

[Yorkshire Canary 118]

he is now under immense pressure he needs wins and quickly or else he will not be around for the christmas dinner

[Orford65 0]

Derby have a rare bad game and Mac gives the players a collective bollocking for putting in a below par performance. We have been under performing since the season started. Has Adams actually kicked their ar$e yet, and if not, why not?We are stumbling along to mid-table mediocrity with a gifted amateur at the helm. Derby actually have a proper football manager.

[Craig Brown 0]

Where are all the numpties who said Adams should be given the sack and that he was the wrong manager after last nights victory - funny you have all gone quiet - and didn''t phone up on the canary call. Did you bother to praise your team or were you trying to think of something to complain about!

Neil Adams will prove all the muppets wrong who said he was the wrong man for the job and we will get promoted and they will look silly.

[Craig Brown 0]

Norwich have got back to winning ways - now we can stop worrying and hitting the panic button. The win against Bolton has taken so much pressure off Adams. I even before the Bolton game believed Adams would get things right and last night he did - his team he put out was good and the performance and result was excellent!! You know what they say you can''t criticize a winning team and if try and if you try and do that - it shows how silly you are!!!

Well said!!!

Trouble is the negative folk will return. Should have been a lot easier than it was last night but still well deserved. O''Neil, Lafferty , Redmond (2nd half) were effective. Howson must be one of the first players on the team sheet and (for all the people who didn''t want Cameron Jerome) bargain of the season for a certain striker!
