You should have a better player in Blair, you got out of him what we couldn't. I don't blame him personally for his performances here.

Good luck.

You got Sheehan who he is decent, so I've heard from couple of my county fans. Thanks pal.

keep him he ain't as good as Milsom in my opinion Milsom is solid going forward and solid at the back.

Adams did okay last in bits and not so good and if it frees up wages to either bring in a Centre back I'd do that hopefully Sharpe will come in sooner then later as back up.

I also watched the Mansfield vs Wimbledon highlights and the first goal looked like Adams was to tight on lyle Taylor I belive it was.

Anyway Adams is okay but against anyone half decent no pacey wingers last year took him to the cleaners good left foot tho

wes looks good at full back to he's only 19-21 I belive pacey confident for me if was a toss up between Adams and Milsom I'd take Milsom all day long.

Maybe get Sheehan in put Milsom in the middle wud Curtis two engine room runners who can play to most midfield a will struggle.

if he's not required they'd let him leave on a free I don't watch the reserves but if he looks good fairly young why not.

I just think Adams is on a decent wage and isn't as good as Murray is making out to be.

Again no disrepect to Mansfield town fans there was stats that they have lost more games with Adams playing then without so be all means take him he can easily be replaced

I for one don't believe we will get the performances out of Blair Adams to make him worthy of remaining here.

I am sure we could find someone more suitable if he left and the options currently here didn't suite Jamie, at the end of the day I would prefer someone with pace and can actually contribute going forward, whilst being able to defend. Blair struggled to do both for us, he either looked okay going forward and messed up an attack or he bottled his defending duties.

Under Derry/Moniz he really didn't look bothered IMO - I'm not sure what would change now, he clearly wants to start regularly as this seems to help him perform well.

I think Adams leaving would be a good start on trimming the squad - I'm not sure whther after making a good impression at Mansfield, that Adams would be motivated to do well if he returned to meadow Lane.

He should go we have other players who can play there.

How he managed to start frequently under Moniz at the start of the season i do not know, he was not much use defending or attacking. If he has found his feet during his loan spell at mansfield its a different question but i would trim down the squad starting with him.

For us this season he has been solid and hardly puts a foot wrong. The only thing I think he could do better is working on going forward but I don't think he that type of fullback to go forward. He brings great experience to the side and hopefully we sign him.

Welcome back Blair, personally I hope your are back on the first team squad on Saturday.

Bah humbug!

I mean, welcome back Blair - if you play Saturday an assist or goal from you would be nice. Prove your doubters wrong [emoji14]

Don't understand why he should have so many doubters, a very capable fullback at league 1 level, and potentially one of the best in league 2

I find him frustrating myself, as mentioned before he looked better in League One under Derry than he did ever during his time under Moniz. He came with expectation, once touted as a future international and Arsenal tried signing him during his mid teens.

Yet he doesn't apply himself properly, he seems to lack confidence to push himself and I don't rate him myself.

He's a decent player but fans quickly got on the back of Kristian Peace for losing his potential. Blair Adams seems to have allowed his to pass by also, don't get me wrong he can do well but far too inconsistent during his time here.

Reading between the lines, I would guess that the contract the Stags have offered doesn't match what he is on with us.

Going off the subject of Blair Adams for a moment, how come you let Pearce go ? Apart from last Saturday been solid for us, can only assume you got better centre halves.

Pearce was a bit of an enigma.  When we first had him on loan as a raw kid he was very impressive, some were even predicting an England future.  When we signed him permanently he was less impressive.  He has all the physical attributes to be a good centre back, and his skill on the ball is way better than most at this level.  What let him down was that he never seemed to master the two basics of a defender - marking and concentration.  He just didn't seem to progress, he would look good for 89 of the 90 minutes, but in the other minute he would go to sleep and gift a goal.  The bigger the game the better he played (he was awesome against Man City) but he couldn't be relied on in the run of the mill games.  He seems to have done well for you, but I can't say I was sorry to see him go.

Also prone to mistakes KP, not always caused by his concentration but he seemed plagued by it. Was it Keith Curle who signed him? Whoever did got the best out of him.

Just been confirmed that your keeping Blair, best of luck to him been good player for us.

if Fullarton can coach Adams get his confidence up aswell and the back four can do what they did at Crawley keep tight and strong.

We will stop conceding goals and soon climb up were still only 6 points off play offs 2 games in hand and have the ability of scoring goals which we've proved.

if only moniz would of gone sooner we may be higher up the league

Fullarton wants to give Adams a chance at @Official_NCFC, not sell him to @mansfieldtownfc

An interesting choice of words by the Post...."sell"

Posted

@Piethagoram I would be disappointed if we missed out on a fee for him.

Giving him a chance should only happen if the move to Mansfield was not right but considering he settled there and both Murray/himself wanted the move to happen. Fullarton might not prefer the options we have at left back?
