PLYMOUTH Argyle manager Derek Adams scored with the football fans who turned up at the Red and Black Club in Tavistock for a special event on Monday night.

Mr Adams was invited by Tavistock AFC and the Community Football Club for a ‘question and answer’ session; it proved not only an entertaining night for around 100 people who attended but also an important one for the local clubs as it strengthened its links with the professional Football League side.

The audience were keen to find out what Mr Adams felt of his team’s progress to second place in league two with the real possibility of promotion this season.

Mr Adams, who has tasted promotion success as a manager in his native Scotland with Ross County, told fans: ’We have had a very good season so far after 30 games; we’re winning a lot, playing some exciting football and more people are turning up at Home Park to watch us. With 16 games to go in a tough league, where teams have different styles of play, we now have a very good chance.

’You can’t look too far ahead in football but the players are very focused and the loan players have come in, played well and adding a lot of energy.

’I expect us to get out of this league. I always look to win; winnings the most important thing and to do that in this league you need speed and creativity. My main focus is to get out of this league and with 16 games to go there is a great opportunity to do so.’

There were also some light hearted moments. When one man asked what did Mr Adams expect when first he came down here from Scotland? Before the manager could answer the fan then proceeded to enlarge his question. The Argyle manager replied: ’Well the first thing I thought was that I didn’t expect such a long question! which brought appreciative laughs from the audience.See Thursday's Times for the full report.
