Looking at results , other fans comments on games and how players performances are rated is more than enough for me to make a comment, and it is very rarely I would criticise the players it is DC who picked the team,the tactics the formation and plays people out of position so the buck stops with him. Nah, I'm not having that. Other people's opinions on games are exactly that, other people's opinions. All you are doing is recycling the ones that fit your DC Out agenda, whilst ignoring the other views, of which there are still plenty. Why would you trust someone else's opinion more than mine, and indeed vice versa? Sorry, when people are prevented from watching the Gas first hand for whatever reason, I have every sympathy (although against Southend they were the fortunate ones!), but choosing not to go removes your right and capability to give valid criticism based on what you've seen with your own eyes. You say you rarely criticise players and that the buck stops with DC. What about when we win? Is that also nothing to do with players and all down to DC? Of course it's not. The players have to play well to win games. They also have to take some of the responsibility when we don't, as does DC. Win, lose or draw, it is always the result of a combined effort and performance. The manager has to get selection, motivation, tactics, substitutions etc right and the players have to perform on the pitch by making the right decisions and executing their skills well. Sometimes the manager gets it right, sometimes not. Sometimes a player gets it right, sometimes not. Sometimes it all comes together, sometimes not. But to just blithely say it's the manager's fault when you have chosen not to watch the games and not to form your own opinion is ridiculous. Great post. Midland Rubbish head has no mind of his own. Think you may regret admitting that 1 midland💩.

Dunno about trying to get sacked.. but I feel we’re a worse team this season than we were last, and were a worse team last season than the season before that.. no evolution on the pitch where I’m sitting

The one thing I agree with Midland is that DC signs the players, picks the team, decides the tactics and formation. The results therefore are 50% down to him, the other 50% is down to the players that he picks. DC make a pigs ear out of signing a non scoring forward for £350k or thereabouts. Our record signing was Andy Tilson at £375 30 years ago. So Nicholls is just £25k away from being our record signing, and I suspect his wages aren't to be sniffed at. Having been here for over a season I don't think that there is any excuse for Nichols not to be scoring other than he's not good enough. Gelling, confidence are no longer and appropriate simply because he has been here over a season. However it does not stop DC from playing him every game. It's like starting a game knowing that one of your forwards is not going to score. Next thing which for me is even more baffling is that we get a winger in from Portsmouth who in his first season plays very well on the wing and puts in some good crosses, cuts in and takes defenders on. This season he is playing up front, and for all his skill and class he does not have the build, or the strength or the shot to be a regular goal scorer. Also the transfer market dealings. He lets Gaffney go, and then 6 weeks later he is pancaking about getting a replacement in. We have been questioning whether the Al Qadis have a plan, but does DC? It certainly seems like he is making it up as he goes along. Last year he blamed the pitch and the budget, this year he has no excuses because he has filled the team up with players who have no ambition. Does anyone think that Bennet, Nichols, either of the clarks, or the goalies, or Rodman and so on, really really want to join a successful club who wants promotion? No they have come because they want a bit more money than they were getting and a new contract. Who got these players in? DC. When we first came in to the league we had a team that wanted success, now a lot of them don't want anything other than the cash.
When we get rid of players, such as Monty we all say, well he has found his level. I think DC has found his level, and without a doubt if we are in the bottom 4 at Christmas then most of the supporters will be calling for his head. He needs the change and he needs to get us up the league pronto.
and as Browner left he said, he wanted to be nearer London and at his age, join a club that wants success.

Well done Darrell took longer than you thought, but you’ve executed your plan brilliantly!
When you go can you take your dross with you and we can get back to trying to build a League two team for next season. Take Nicholl’s, Payne, Martin, Rodman, Upson, Craig & Bennett with you useless all of them!

Oh dear where do we go from here, painful to watch. Yet again the manager has to change the starting line up as it wasn't working. Partington and Martin are not wingbacks. Has to be one of the poorest teams in the final third i've seen for a very long time.

Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if DC put on that display today to prove a point to the tight f*cks running the club. I highly doubt they’d even ‘splash the cash’ to sack him.

DC had our players in the Conference and L2 worrying about their next one-year contract. Do well, get another one.
Always had my doubts as to whether or not this would work as we progressed. Experienced players haven't responded and are on longer contracts!

How many other lower leagues 'splash the cash' in the ridiculous way some are expecting our owners to? Poor recruitment is reason we are where we are.

We woukd only end up with a more expensive version of Bennett and Nichols. Don't forget how DC chased Bennett and was crowing when he signed him! Absolutely bloody useless player, if DC thinks that is a good signing then no amount of cash will be enough for him and he has totally lost the plot.

I would gently suggest at this point that people are clinging on to this whole budget thing in the face of logic because the alternative is to admit that DC has fallen badly short. If Mark McGhee had brought these players in the budget would not be mentioned.

How is it ridiculous to expect them to back the manager?? All they have invested is from the peanuts earned from Taylor, Bodin and Harrison.

OP really called Bonham a "Carlisle reject" with the intention of slagging him.
Bonham.
One of the few saving graces from this season with all the clean sheets he's kept so far.
... words fail me

Ignoring that nonsense you do have to wonder what's going on inside DC's head, as why revert back to 5-3-2 yesterday at home, particularly if Leads wasn't in the starting line up, then within 30 mins revert back to 4-4-2! Plus why persevere with two strikers who never score when one reserve striker scored a wonder goal in midweek.

Funny how the club posted a small section of dc’s interview and the rest of it Bp posted it in full... You can’t knock how honest he is but kinda feel he’s deflecting his poor management performance to the board...

Have to agree - what other Football Manager would be able to say what he's said and perform like he has and not be sacked. He either thinks they can't afford to sack him or he's working his ticket.

There is undoubtedly an element of deflection in it, however as someone else has already said, using "confidentiality clauses" would also be an example of deflection. At least DC is saying it how it is...no-one else does.

Well done Darrell I think signing Joe Martin will clinch the deal! you will be gone before the clocks go back. Can you take Wael, Widdrington, and your journeyman players with you, before you take us back to the conference. This seasons team is now worse than the team that got relegated to the conference! Maybe you can find out where Matty Harold is these days and get him back on loan. This is better than Mystic Meg
