I liked Adams for us. Unrealistic expectations set by us winning a bunch of glorified friendlies to finish seventh the season before he was sacked, Operation premiership and the bonds all looking a little dubious, too.
End of season, lots of teams not trying as hard as they might otherwise, a rather unrealistic assessment of our capabilities. Reason Wise was the difference was he was the kind of player to give 100% even if there was nothing at stake.In fairness, our best form was in January - February, we had a run of 5 wins in 7 games. Dennis Wise was the difference though nothing to do with "glorified friendlies"
Always thought that about Hughes aswell-thought he was better than he was as he had played a few games for Arsenal over a long period of time. Got found out at Watford/Charlton and we unfortunately got lumbered with him.Birchall was on one of the podcasts recently, assume it was on there.
I think Hughes was right about Micky Adams, he'd lost the plot. I read Adams' autobiography, he is a very bitter man with an inflated opinion of himself.

Was recently called out by Leon McKenzie when I said that during the FA cup replay against Bristol City in 2007, that some players were not playing for the manager. Interestingly, Chris Birchall said that after the match Stephen Hughes had gone to the boardroom demanding that they sack Micky Adams who was the manager at the time. Hmmmmm......
Hughes was great in goal though!Never rated Hughes or McKenzie. None events amongst the great players we have had.
Neither will go down as ‘all time greats’ but think you’re being harsh on both. Hughes in particular.Never rated Hughes or McKenzie. None events amongst the great players we have had.

I liked Hughes and Adams. Hughes was a good player. He didn’t run round like a headless chicken so was always on a loser with some of our fans
