Adams: Vale were poor and I’ll make changes
After Vale lost to Colchester United, manager Micky Adams admitted he got the formation wrong but added that it was “as poor as I’ve seen us for a while.”
I don’t want to go overboard, but it was a poor performance…
Speaking after the 1-0 defeat Adams said: “To be brutally honest, we were poor.
“I thought the enthusiasm for the game wasn’t there for some reason.
“We started off with a system that didn’t work and I’ll put my hand up for that. “Obviously I picked the wrong side, but I am really disappointed with the performance.
“I think that was as poor as I’ve seen us for a while.
“When we had seen Colchester down at Gillingham they had three centre-forwards who played really close together.
“So I thought I’d stifle that if I could, but it didn’t work.
“Sometimes you try things but, to be honest, it was still 0-0 (when I changed formation) and we were still in the game.
“What I saw was disappointing.
“We were playing offsides and giving them time on the ball.
“Next week I will change the side.
“I don’t want to go overboard, but it was a poor performance.”
