Has there ever been a more telling, pivotal moment in Wednesday’s season than the return of Iain Turner to Everton?  Upon arriving on loan he helped the club to put together an 11-match unbeaten run including 5 wins in a row.  It was clear for all to see that the confidence gained from having a sound last line of defence was spreading throughout the team and they were beginning to take on the appearance of a club that would not be beaten and the players seemed to believe that they would win every time they went out on the field.

Sadly, the loan spell came to an end and Turner went back to Everton.  What we were left with was a goalkeeper who surely has to rate as the WORST keeper ever to make the grade as a professional.  Talking to a colleague on Tuesday I stated that we had no chance against Birmingham because Adamson was going to be in goal.  Sure enough, I turned the radio on midway through the second half and soon heard the words “Adamson went for the cross and dropped it leaving an open goal for Birmingham”.  Birmingham scored and we lost!  Far be it from me to say I told you so but I did!

I have watched this talentless waste of space warm up many times at Hillsborough and wondered how the hell he made it as a professional and who the f**k saw anything in him to warrant such status.  It is clear to anyone who has played in goal that Adamson is useless.  He has no agility, no positional sense, no confidence, his handling is dire, his presence non-existent and his athleticism leaves so much to be desired it is untrue.  It really does beggar belief that this man plies his trade as a footballer.  He inspires so little confidence in both supporters and players and he lacks so many of the fundamentals required to make a decent keeper that it was inevitable that our (slim) playoff hopes would disappear the moment this numbskull was restored to the side.  I have been quietly impressed so far with Laws’s management, but if he seriously thinks that Adamson has any value to our team whatsoever then I worry for our club’s future.  Adamson, and Adamson alone, has ended our hopes of making the playoffs and I for one hope that the supporters never forgive him for this.  He is an insult to anyone who has ever played the game and that he takes payment for his ineptitude is a disgrace.  I hereby call on all Owls fans to give this talentless nobody a real rough ride during the last home game of the season.  He needs to know that such mediocrity will not be tolerated at our club.
