    I think Adams is just as good at League 1 level as Thorne was at Championship level. 
    His massive talent is his positional sense - nearly always in the right place. Add in athleticism, tackling ability and growing ability to pick a pass and we have our best signing of Warne's tenure by some distance. He's also very cool-headed for such an aggressive player.
    He looks so at home here. Always 100% effort, always in the middle of the celebrations and loves to get involved in the bounce.
    Get him signed.

    c£10m on non player wages seems very high. Especially as a lot of staff were made redundant during admin. Is there any detail on that?

    I wonder why we wouldn't invite Connor Wickham to train with us? Out of all the free agent strikers, he's got the most potential - still only 30. Obviously he might not be interested, but it looks like a good an opportunity for him to get fit and for us to potentially have cover for Collins. 
    His injury record is terrible so we'd monitor that, but if he looked like he could contribute without damaging morale, then there wouldn’t be to much at risk with a deal until the end of the season.

    CornwallRam got a reaction from jono in James Collins   
    Collins' problem is that he gets fed up waiting for the ball and leaves the centre forward position vacant far too often. That's we he is usually average - he's playing as winger/midfielder for 30 minutes a game.
    When he's where he should be, he's excellent at this level. Aggressive, quick enough over 5 yards, good in the air and pretty clinical. 
    I wonder how much of the positioning issue would disappear if we created more in midfield?

    McClaren did not play safe football. His style with us - which I believe was actually highly influenced by Paul Simpson, was nothing like Cocu's.

    CornwallRam got a reaction from Ramarena in So who would we have then?   
    There's no way he can stay. 
    If I owned the club and there were no fans to consider, I'd give him another month to make the squad gel and decide at the end of November whether to sack him or give him until April. The season is still salvageable and it's normal for teams to struggle with such a high turnover. 
    The problem is he's lost the fans. Now failure is guaranteed. The atmosphere in the dressing room will be difficult enough, but as soon as things go a bit wrong on the pitch, the players will really struggle to cope with the toxic atmosphere in the ground. Under those circumstances, team cohesion dissappears, the players become overly cautious and their energy levels drop. 
    Warne could be saved by a good run, but the hostility of the fanbase will make that impossible. Players get paid a fortune because, to people like us, football is so much more than 22 men kicking a bag of wind around. We spend our cash because we care. Football needs emotional attachment, and it's a facet of that which makes Warne's position untenable. 
    It's best for everyone if he goes now.
