Said it before and say it again.  This team is nowhere good enough for L1.   Brent will only fund National league/L2 standard players so these mullerings will be regular fayre for all you poor season ticket holders.  Argo will be relegated.

BRENT OUT NOW

Like many others I always maintain give it ten games to get some kind of indication of how the team will fare over the season, there is no doubt that apart from obviously being a bad home defeat by Scunny it also serves as a reality check of playing in a higher league.
So give it ten games and we find ourselves having been in the bottom four for a couple of weeks - then what?.
Emergency loans plan for significant planning in the January window?. The biggest worry is having Brent in charge with his lamentable record of investing in the squad, yes we kept Carey with increased wages but one player does not make a team.
So maybe a blip on Saturday or an indicator of more bad defeats - 4pt from a possible 12 is not particularly reassuring.

THE BRENTMARE CONTINUES

After the first quarter is a good time, but big results either way are often indicative of what's in store. More worryingly is Adams has shown yet again he hasn't got any other options apart from his plan A. Also, unusually for him, he appears to be picking some players with team politics in mind. Finding a berth for set players, regardless of suitability in that position is never a good thing. As others have said, Carey's role is a free one or nothing, and is what the player himself prefers. But it is an indulgence that narrows other options. He hasn't the physical attributes to play much else than the creative ballplayer and the new guy's comments of him as a so so full back up in Scotland would back that up. Not all players are utilitarian, in fact very few.
I always thought Kenny Burns under Clough was a good example. Always a so so centre forward, but almost world class as a centre back. There's no point in wasting Carey's attributes.

Argo have recruited rubbish Argo will get relegated with a squad full of rubbish, a four nil defeat at home to midtable Scunthorpe points the way down. ps before i get twatted by the twats i know other opinions are available.
