That is why Adama has to play more than 5 minutes.

Can anyone tell me what is it people employed in senior professional positions at the club see that warrants hardly ever starting with your best players?

Adama states his claim on the starting squad.

And then he shows why he's not.

haha, Adama for a couple minutes.. pointless.

Lorne greene could be on the pitch and it wouldn't make a difference

So say we all

It's really quite stunning how poor the team is. All the money that has been spent as well. I fear we may be away from the Prem for quite some time after we sell all of our best players again in the off-season.

Good players go where the wages are. We don't pay decent wages, hence we sign nobodies from France and the odd aging name looking for a final pay day.
We deserve everything we get.

Nice run Adama. If nothing else, you showed the gaffer how much of an almighty fuck up of team selection he's made today.

Good player in his day, but sadly we only signed him when he was cheap and over the hill.
Sums the last 6 seasons up.

Is there a reason Kozak isn't getting a look in? Not exactly like we have a Vardy keeping him out of the team is it

It only really struck me yesterday when I caught sight of the table. 6 points between us and 19th place says it all.
