I’ll second that !! Heart, passion, Grit all the thing’s we are missing, BUT sorry to put a dampener on your idea, he’s no experience and that’s the most important attribute we need in a manager at the moment

Now don’t all laugh how about George Graham or even “El Tel “

Look at us now without him His performances dropped below his usual standards a few years ago but thats because he had to adapt to Adams style of play, he still made everything happen.

[Scow]

It's a sad state of affairs that we have to rely on a washed up Forest reject to provide some creatvity in the midfield I'm not talking about Williams

[Guest Daniel]

Spot on Petrescu, the trouble with Muzzy was he's a football player and if your a football player you dont fit in Adams plans.

The plan involves, the goalkeeper, a tall attacker who can flick on and a little attacker with speed to try and score.

[TrickyTrev]

Adams was a very important reason for us getting promoted. We did not have a very good squad with only one outstanding player in Izzet. Adams managed to get the best out of average players like Davidson, Stewart and Dickov to get us promoted.

We had a tiny squad and had to use Tommy Wright and Trevor Benjamin on numerous occaisions in the second half of the season.

If you are going to comment on Micky at least be fair. The football may be poor but he did do a good job in his first season.

Martion O'neill did play some direct football but nothing like Adams.

[Anish]

Agreed. You can't compare Martin O Neil to Adams. Yes O'Neill did have a target man in Heskey but he also had people who could pass and move (Izzet, Sav, Lennon) and also wingers who could cross (Guppy). And long ball wasn't Mon's only tactic, whereas Adams only knows one way to play football, and that's route one.

[Guest Daniel]

I cant remember the ball being pumped up the miuddle of the park at every other chance we had, if he hoofed it, it was 3 or 4 times a match with MON.

Theres one thing for sure, you wouldnt win tropheys by hoofing.

go back and watch a few games mate, the ball was long 70% of the time. Not to the player but behind the defence into the channels for heskey to run onto.

Why do you think we were tagged the new wimbledon!!! We did play the ball more than we do now but it was direct football. And we did win trophies playing direct football as did wimbledon winning the Fa Cup.

[alex]

You're wrong. We were tagged the 'new Wimbledon' due to our never-say-die attitude, following the 3-3 against Arsenal etc etc, the media saw that crazy gang spirit in us.

MON played to Heskey's strengths at times, but we would work the ball to the flanks a lot, through the midfield; whereas at present we are using our midfield to sheild our defence....

Dull.

No, he's not.

How many times did Walshy play as stand in centre forward?

I expect that was as a result of his silky ball skills running at the opposition and teasing them with his Christiano Ronaldo stepovers.

Give it up Babylon. You can't argue with a man in possession of such accurate statistics.

Yes again, more boring bullshit with no intelligence from Hullfox, your posts are boring to read.

Why thank you.

I shall of course in future strive to make more relevant points to the discussions.

You boring person hull fox... maybe to make you posts more interesting you should take a leaf out of BM's book and add a few colourful swear words and put downs.

From a poster GTfox on the Foxfanzine Forum

I'm a London based fox's supporter and I am in absolute despair with the current situation at the club.

I am advised tonight on good authority from a friend at the Press Association that Adams will be manager at the end of the season!

Tony Adams that is, and negotiations are going on for City to pay compensation to Wycombe. Keown will be appointed player coach.

I understand Micky Adams resigned last night and that the club will put out a statement on monday saying this is regretfully accepted for the good of the club, and thanking MA for guiding the club thro' the most difficult chapter in its history.

[Ric Flair]

Under Martin O'Neill I remember an article once wrote where Martin said that he would encourage the long ball to be used in the first 15 mins of a match to see how well the opposition defence could cope against it and then they would mix it up from there after. The word 'mix' it up is where we differ nowadays, as it's non-stop long ball these days. I remember plenty of games where we were fluent with the passes and non-stop crosses being fired in, oooh those were the days!

[Guest Daniel]

Micky Adams will still be here for the Gillingham game.

I dont think he has resigned or plans to this monday.

"When you look at our games this season, we should be riding high in the table and most of the problems have been self-inflicted, particularly the red cards which have cost us games, and I told the players about that.
