Everybody’s blaming slocombe,Clarke,Craig,Lockyer,lines,Nicholls,Smith,Upson,Leadbitter,Broadbent etc etc nearly all DCs signings. He plays two right sided players on the left,he plays players out of position too accommodate other players,central midfield is overloaded when we needed a left back,a big bully of a centre back both priorities. Now slocombe goes out on loan so he must now be looking for a goalkeeper,he also signed Mensah,Reilly why sign these players and not play them they can’t prove their worth sat on the bench. Another cock up of a preseason it’s all becoming too familiar.
In DC we Trust do we ?do you ? ( I hope he gets it right but now beginning to lose faith )
Last night wasn’t a bad performance BUT the problems are still there for all too see until addressed UTG Please DC can Christmas come early and sign that CB and LB 🙏

Not gonna lie, I question DC tactically given our two home league showings but do I trust him? Damn right. Back-to-back promotions when we were at our lowest and our highest finish/points tally in years. The bloke has consistently delivered results and we always start slowly. I'm worried but have no doubt he'll sort it out soon enough.

I remember when we drew at Stevenage away, in League 2, effectively gaining the point that (it turned out) won us promotion. And loads of people throwing their toys out the pram at that one. Then last week loads of people going mental with DC's team selection before we won at Wycombe.
The thing about DC is that he has to make decisions and then go out and get judged on those decisions in front of 8,000 people a load of whom love a good whine, and his results go down in the record books. People on here get to whine about anything they like with impunity. They get to choose from a selection of new whines out of the whine cellar every week at their leisure, savouring every drop.
When they're wrong, doesn't matter, dust themselves down and whine again. Whine about something different or even the same thing next week. They keep getting proved wrong, and they keep whining. Wrong again, doesn't matter, more whines next week. Wrong, who cares it's just opinions right? Get on the forum, go down to the ground, go on facebook, and be wrong again next week, no one cares.
And remember that time you were right. That time, you remember you were right once, weren't you? That means you're better than DC. That means you know more about football than anyone. That means you should be the manager. That's right, you should be the manager coz you know best, coz you were right, right?. So, you know, keep going, keep whining, don't let up; it's your duty to Whine for the Gas!
WftG!

I'm a massive fan of DC and fully back him still but this season he's started to play players out of position for some reason or another, something he never used to do.
The main one that sticks out is Sercombe on the right, I have a feeling he's doing this to try and protect the back four by playing Upson and Clarke in the middle.
Hopefully he sees this isn't really working and moves Sercombe back into the middle.

Is it a coincidence that successive managers have come to the conclusion that Sercombe needs to be played out wide?

I'm worried but have no doubt he'll sort it out soon enough. I’d even keep DC if we went down and I know a lot of people who feel the same way. I think DC deserves the utmost respect for what he’s managed to do with our facilities and infrastructure, in a short space of time as well. For the last 2/3 seasons we’ve always started poorly before he figures it out. We have a low to mid-table league 1 budget so as long as we achieve that come the end of the season DC is doing his job on the pitch. We can’t expect anything more unless things are improved off the pitch (training facilities, budget, etc).

Watching last night when we went to 4-4-1 after the red card I don’t think Sercombe touched the ball, he definitely went missing. Feel this is why managers are reluctant to play him in a midfield 2. Think the best would come from Sercombe playing just behind Payne in a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Thought we had a good game last night, a point would have been a fair result especially against a team like Pompey, but if I were to pick out one or 2 things it would be Upson didn't do enough for me, Sercs could and should have done better with one if not both his chances and someone should spend a few hours teaching Smith how to kick a ball.
All in all I went away disappointed rather than upset.

Maybe not but he scored 12 from the middle last season so I know where I'd be playing him.

Erm, if the whine is that we start a season poorly then it hasn't been right once, it has been right more than that. Quite a few times in fact. DC has done wonders but he is very much open to criticism about why he can't seem to figure out what his best team/formation is until around Christmas. It feels like we are still in pre-season while the likes of Portsmouth and Peterborough leave us for dead.

No we do not trust him he must go Why do you say "we" when you know full well you are in a massive minority? Why do people constantly look through rose tinted glasses with dc? Why can’t this be the highest he can take us with our budget? For one he hasn’t managed any higher than this level and only with us...yes he’s a good talker and gives you reassurance things will progress but each season he’s making it up as he goes along with the project thing instead of playing our best players in the right positions and sticking with a winning formula ? br]Dc always says we’re over achieving with the players we have so then why would you expect them to play out of position or in different formations from week to week You get m.o.m one game and dropped the next? The player who’s dropped must be watered off watching the two centre backs conceding goals week in and week out and named captain and never dropped? He’s constantly saying their working on the same problems to why we concede every game (3 years running) and still the same problem? So it’s his coaching or the likes of Lockyer should have been sold and Craig a squad player and two decent centre backs bright in and that can be a threat for set pieces too! All the problems are easy to spot to us and our opposition yet we still say “ in dc we trust”?

A bad night for me
I promised my boss I'd accompany him to Loftus Road last night to cheer them on against the Teds.....
And you think our fans have had enough! They are ready to hang the Wally out to dry, and to be fair QPR were really bad. It was a form of torture watching the 🐍 pulling off defenders, finding good space, scoring... to be fair City were playing some ok stuff but they were up against a very poor side.... don't be surprised if a new manager is in place when we go there next Tue.
City took about 700? And the home team made it easy for them to be in good spirits. I'm not sure what's worse.... seeing us lose or them win?
Anyway, it made me think about fans in general.... some were saying it was the players who must take responsibility, others that you must change after 4 defeats on the bounce, others that you have to give a new man a fair crack......
I know DC makes odd decisions but I wouldn't swap him for ANY of the managers currently on the merry go round and out of work.....
Let's take an invasion to Loftus next week and show our team we support them and that DC is trusted to see us through calmly this season... as I've said before, I don't envisage a top 6 but we should attain top 12 and with a little tinkering next summer we can aim for top 6 then....
Chins up lads, the grass is greener on the inside.....
