Fair question. Adams has got 400+ more games under his belt, so there’s a bit more to go on. And there’s certainly more than one achievement in there.

Took Ross County from the Scottish Second Division to the SPL, and then finished 5th the next season. He also took them to the Scottish FA Cup final as a second tier club along the way.

Took Plymouth to the League Two play-offs in his first season, then won automatic promotion the following year, then finished 7th in League One.

He took over at Morecambe with the Shrimps bottom of the league with 13 points from 17 games. They were fourth from bottom when the season was stopped due to Covid, and then followed that up with winning the League Two play-offs in that fan-less season.

He left Morecambe that summer to take over at Bradford, where it didn’t quite work out, but he’s not the first and won’t be the last manager to suffer that fate at Valley Parade.

In the interest of balance; he did also get relegated from League One when back at Morecambe last season, but he had taken over the season before that when the club was in the relegation zone and had them finish 19th. When he left them again back in November, they were 2 points of the League Two play-offs with 2 games in hand.

You can argue that it hasn’t worked out for him most recently at Ross County as well, and you’d be right, but I think right now we desperately an experienced manager to organise and discipline a horribly dysfunctional team, and Derek Adams looks to me about as good as anything we can realistically hope for.


But does he play the "Grimsby way"?

Watched full game of Town v Bournemouth during Buckley mk1 on YouTube the other day. Won 5-0 but nearly every goal kick was a hoof up the middle by Sherwood and a lot of the passing was woeful. Obvs Buckley did have us playing some good footy  (I get the feeling JS is talking about this era)  but total football it wasn't.

The thing is that under AB we had good footballers who could control the ball, pass accurately, move into space, make good decisions more often than not and hold up the ball when required. If you have players with that level of skill and vision you will get results whatever system you play.

All goal kicks were hoofs up the pitch until a couple of years ago. Now most goal kicks are passes between two defenders either side in a quest to 'play out from the back'. You even see it more often than not at Northern Premier level. I'd love to see another John Beck bunch of long ball mavericks who smash this uniform regime of football that all teams seem to do at the moment.

Same 90% who wanted Paul gone and the 90% who were happy with the appointment of Artell.

I have a new concept it’s called The Winning Way . I don’t give a flying F whether we go long ,play boring tepid football or even finish the game with 20% possession . I just want us to win football matches and stay in this league.
Whether you  like him or not Steve Evans will always be the great missed opportunity for this football club.

You may feel this way but a very vocal part of the support does not.

We had a manager who got a fairly limited team to the play off final but had suffered huge abuse all season because of his approach and tactics. You could argue he played a system suited to his players and it worked like a charm, something clearly lacking from the current set up.

Even today some will have you believe Russel Slade is the antichrist.

(I accept without argument that his second period was horrible)
