Phil Brown

[puppet]

Was just on talksport... sounded like they'd won the league! Talked like a man brimming with confidence and capable of inspiring it in the team. Spoke highly of the passion of the fans (not something I've particularly equated with PNE before)... would certainly have been a better asset and option than Adams if the radio interviews alone are anything to go by!

Is this how bad things have got Pup?

Afraid so! I listen to Adams on a saturday and he sounds like paul walker's hitting him in the nads with a toffee hammer. was a shock to hear someone sound so positive despite being bottom of the league.

 

[blader]

to be honest, it sounds to me like phil brown is completely dillusional. Do you think PNE fans are coming away from that game celebrating like they've won the league? ofcourse not. Adams is a realist, and knows the situation, to me it just shows our manager has a better perception of the situation and appreciates what the fans are feeling after a defeat.

Yes, but I'm sure if you spoke to Adams after a 3-0 away win he'd be absolutely delighted too. Quite easy to be upbeat when you arrive at a club from unemployment and there's not much expectation of the team staying up and you end up with a result. Bit different to someone that's gone from a promotion battle to a relegation battle, and looks likely to be taking his boyhood club down from a position that was arguably salvageable.

Incidentally, if by a miracle we go on a decent run that puts us in contention, decent result for us tonight....

Brown has done just as bad at Preston as Adams has at United (i'm sure some statto will point out that Brown has garnered more points than Adams - my point being they're both struggling, much of it not down to either of them).

It's got to be killing Adams with what's happened at the Lane since he's taken over. Blades fan, gets his dream job and presides over what will be the second worse relegation in the clubs' history (75-76 being the worse). Personally, I hope he rides this season out and puts it right next season... title and double over t' pigs would go along way to making amends.

his signings have been awful - riise aside - doesnt fill me with much optimism for next year if he can award a contract to doyle and collins.

1 win in 14? But at long as he sounds jolly on the radio, that's OK.

does anyone seriously think the way adams speaks on the radio refelects any kind of positivity towards the players? because i dont.

I am with you all the way on this puppet, i think when adams comes on the radio (and saturday wasn't the first time he's said it) saying he has to access his situation i really don't think that helps matters either. Phil Brown would have been perfect for us and when Preston get promoted next season and we are sat next to wendy in mid table there maybe some saying the same.

Adams is a realist - I am sure you went into Saturday expecting big things from the Blades Talking up their chances - Only to be delivered a hammer blow by 3-30pm-
There were not many Blades feeling upbeat at 5-00pm Adams is a Blade it hurts him when we lose probably more than you or I
I do not think there is anything other than positivity in the dressing room before kick off with Adams Bassett and Corky
It just hurts that much more when you're a Blade and we shoot ourselves in the foot, over and over and over again!
Yes everyones right Collins and Doyle are sh!te but you get what you've paid for - McCabe s the problem not Adams!!!

at least adams has the balls to tell it how its is, he has inherited a shit team and god knows what else behind the scenes we dont know about

~That shit team was treading above the relegation zone by a few points before his arrival.
He has brought in 6/7/8 players of his own. These have made the team worse.

At least before Adams, we thought we could win games, now we don't even believe we can.

 

[Pinchy]

How far do we have to fall before Quickfix Micky and his fellow dinosaurs take some responsibility?

You (and, shamefully, he) talk as though he is an innocent and helpless spectator as he is engulfed by the tsunami of relegation and decline. What a contrast to his day of appointment when all was well and there was plenty of time for this great motivator - he's a Blade you know - to sort it out; not like SOD who would inevitably take us down.

What shall we do now? Anyone considered proper football? No, I thought not. Sorry Dinosaur Dave, did that wake you up?

We :heart: Hoofing.

I saw a delivery lorry this morning with the logo "Montgomery Distribution" emblazoned down the side.

But when he's on the radio he's not speaking to the players. Do you seriously think that the way he speaks on the radio is exactly the same as he speaks to the players? Don't get me wrong here, he's presently presiding over a nightmare, but the key indicator as to whether he can turn things around is not via radio interviews. And there is no way I'd want Adams to sound all upbeat after the SNAFU at Watford, it was beyond shit and his interview reflected that. Even if he was positive, he'd have been slaughtered on here for being head in the clouds.

I've no wish to listen to Lt. Orange after the other 13 games his team haven't won in, but I'm sure he won't have been radiating positivity in all of them.

 

[super_pig]

>es, but I'm sure if you spoke to Adams after a 3-0 away win he'd be absolutely delighted too
i'm detecting a slight flaw in this logic

 

[bricktop]

I don't with Micky Adams it is a question of is he the right man for the job now, but is it the right man to take us from League 1 next season?

 

[super_pig]

i'll let you know when we do finally win 3-0 away from home.. don't hold your breath

I have to advise caution, JD. I've used them myself.

Your package will bounce around the freight container for hours whilst the driver struggles in vain to secure it. Eventually it will fall off the lorry onto the hard shoulder. The driver will then retrieve it only to drop it again shortly thereafter.

At the first available service station he will hand over your parcel, at random, to a driver from a rival company or he may simply throw it away in the car park.

To his credit he drives tirelessly for hundreds of miles without a break. Unfortunately his lorry has poor acceleration, a turning circle like the Titanic and dodgy steering. The drivers from the rival companies and even small firms always get there before him, no matter how hard he tries. It is even rumoured that he has not yet passed his theory test.

The company would be well advised to get rid of this driver. His wages far outweigh his ability. Unfortunately the transport manager Micky Quickdrop, his mechanic Camshaft Corky and the regional director, Diesel Dave are all driving trucks from the 1980s and know no better. Maybe Turbo John, who supervises the apprentices, could do better?

Indeed. And the only postcode they deliver to is R0WZZ. But I still love 'em.

I've also found that their mechanical reliability hasn't been that great this year but I still use them whenever possible, even if the truck's not working 100% properly.

Or maybe its just that some of us recognise a useless donkey when we see one, but never mind Micky has gone to great lengths to ensure he is in good company.

sitters won't be pleased when he comes on here and finds out what you've been saying about his business.

Arsene Wegner and Alex Ferguson are successful managers. They are always upbeat when they win but they are horrible and nasty when they lose. Why shouldnt Adams be glum when he doesnt win?

theres a difference between glum and downright trampled to death.
