Game No 3
Opponents Peterborough Home Lost 4-1
Team Performance Mark out of 10
Smith - Dodgy in air,distribution poor but couple good saves 5 Leadbitter - Defensively poor throughout,caught out of position and awful crossing 3 Lockyer - Poor start to season continues.Should be dropped 3.5 Sweeney - Gave the ball away causing sloppy second goal. Looks out of sorts. 4 Brown - Defensively poor and laborious. One great cross for goai 5 Bodin - Too many tricks that didn't come off,couple of good moments ,hit the bar 5.5 Lines - Does DC get him to play deep? An OK game but no real threat 5 Sercombe - The best of a poor midfield,was most likely player to score with long shots. 6.5 MOM Sinclair - Backwards and sideways is not good enough.Lacks any class and a waste on left 4 Harrison - Service was poor but didn't help himself and missed a sitter to make an undeserved 1-1 3.5 Nicholls - very poor first half. Second half a bit better without really threatening 4.5
Subs
Gaffney - Brightened up the second half and scored with a far post header from accurate Brown cross 6 O Clarke - LOooked totally off the pace and didn't improve the team but all shape had been lost 3.5 Moore - Didn't really get into the game.Needed him to actually beat a man 4
Referee Almost as poor as our performance. Missed far too much. 4
Team performance summed up
Defence summed up Pathetic from start to finish.Needed to learn to mark and pass a ball
Midfields summed up Far too deeply set up with little width and ran into trouble far too often. Defensively went missing despite being deep.
Attack summed Up - Punchless without a leader. best period when Gaffney came on
Man of Match Liam Sercombe
Crowd Let down in first League game again by mediocre performance following a summer where I would ask if DC has actually strengthened the team? I am not sure that we have replaced Montano, Easter or taylor but am prepared to give the new players longer.
Final Comment New signings are needed and quickly or we will find ourselves firmly in the bottom third of the table. At least three quality players short and we need DC to be a bit brave and rest a few of the undroppables. With the stadium news this has been a disastrous start to the Campaign. This was the poorest I have seen for a long time and although if Harrison had put an easy chance away it would have been 1-1 and may have changed the game it would not have been deserved..
Peterborough - On the day far too good for us and gave us lessons in both personnel and tactics. Well worth the 4-1 win although in truth we gave them their goals with rank terrible defending.

Made me laugh how you still managed to say lines was ok,i think if he went asleep on the pitch you would still give him one of the highest marks.

Leadbitter didnt have a good game today but his crossing wasnt poor imo, there was just no one in the box half the time he put it in there.
Lines was anonymous.
Browner has become too comfortable imo, he doesnt seem to have progressed as a full back. He'll make a run with the ball, foot on the ball, turn round and pass sideways or backwards. Absolutely no confidence in getting forward.
I wont slate Ellis too much, but he was ineffective today to say the least.
At the end of the day Peterborough were okay, but not great. From the very first second they were closing us down with two men like a shot. Our players just couldnt cope and the ball was a hot potato leading to misplaced passes and hoofs all over the shop.
Posh came to pressure us, they've done their research and see we lack quality on the ball bar players like Bodin and Sercombe (and lines when he can be arsed), so came to upset us on our home patch where we've been so strong for 3 seasons.
If other teams want three points off us at the Mem, all they have to do is the same (press, harry and close us down) and its job done. We havent got the quality to cope. I thought Posh wouldnt be able to keep it up all game and would be dead on their arses by the hour mark, but they pretty much kept it up. Well organised side tbf.

My summary, play players in their correct position, you don't pick your team based on who you think are the best performers, that's why we see disjointed performances, if we need a left winger target them. Broadbent was immense last week, cannot believe he was not even on the bench. We will improve but we need some more quality additions.

as someone who just looks at posts and never ever responds . I have to admit out of all the depressing negative and downright depressing individuals out of the band of 20 or so posters on here that can find nothing but fault with any Gas related topics you are by far the most miserable out of all of them. Why do you bother going to any game ? are you forced to go out of some punishment ? Give it up man go and do something else.

IMO Sercombe and Bodin put in a shift. The left winger had Leadbitter on toast. The Beard is a top fella but awful footballer at this level. Did not like Linseys attitude, like a big kid. And Ellis ffs, just not good enough The kkeper punching instead of catching the ball will not give any defence confidence, sweeney and lockyer were run ragged by the posh attack. Nicols jury out for me, but on today's performance seems like a light weight player.

Hope by making it better hasnt made it a leveler for the opposition like I said it would? Personally I thought the grass was too long, yet again. Looked good on the eye, but for what it is meant for it was no doubt spongey and evidently bobbly in places. No wonder there were so many scuffed efforts and wayward shots by so many players

Phew! Finally I can know what to think about the game.
And to think only two weeks ago we were faced with the terror of having to decide for ourselves what we thought of the matches.

No wonder there were so many scuffed efforts and wayward shots by so many players I was always of the opinion don't try fixing what isn't broken, god knows why DC requested that it be sorted out given our home form for the last few years

Were you watching the same game ref was dreadfull as were the linesmen, Sercombes booking Handball in the first half, thought the player was playing basketball it was that obvious yet that went unnoticed player should of been booked. Ref 2/10 linesmen 1/10
