Last night can be look at as a good night, we won and got three points, but that is what you see in the results column of a newspaper. The truth is very different. Wimbledon are a poor side, probably because they have a small budget, given their ground hold less than 5k. The truth is he had to change formation before we looked a threat of any kind. Secondly he chose once again to pick a "striker" who on this coming Saturday scored his last goal 12 months ago. DC is trying to get the team to play a slick passing game, which they are good at when they are in the middle of the pitch, from there on it is a story of misplaced passes over and over again. To be honest he wants to play Championship style football with division one players. We have in our entire squad probably 3 players that can adapt to that style of football. The rest are just "average players" who have never played like that, or I would say in 3 or 4 formations on each game.
Back to last night. Upson was not the last player to touch the ball. The Wimbledon goalie fumbled it over the line, second goal was an own goal by their CH, to claim that Nichols would have scored if he had missed it is nonsense, we have all seen Nicholls standing in front of an open goal and miss. Next he changes to a back 3 and that invites Wimbledon to dink balls over the midfield so their wide players could run on to them. His change made it more difficult than it was. And ladies and Gentlemen this game heralded his 53rd starting player change this season. I constantly hear on this forum and in other places that the board have not backed him. whilst some of the transfer are announced as frees, they are anything but, every player wants a £25k signing on fee, and their agent wants one too. Meanwhile we pay the wages of someone to look at new recruits. I would suggest he recommended Bonham.
But lots of us have forgotten that in signing Nichols and Payne he has spent £550,000 in fees alone, add signing on fees and everything else then it is more likely that the figure is £600k. Then add the 3 players last January and the 5 in the Summer. To say he hasn't been backed is just bollox. His squad is far too big, look at the first team squad and the Dev players who have pro contracts, I would say a 3rd of them wont get more than 1 or 2 games. He has gone from a manager who develops players to a manager who signs basic journeymen, and not very good ones at that. Of the five he signed who played a full game last night. Upson, and Mathews most of the game. Is Upson any better than Lines? No. where was our Stevenage Left back? Well it seems we had one in our academy that was quite good, more money he has spent .
People are hoping that he will bring in 3 more players or so in January. Really? Because he has maxed out the budget according to EFL rules. Someone said that the money from selling Harrison will count in January, but Ipswich are paying in installments. Unless he gets rid of players, he cannot bring any in, as demonstrated 2 months ago.
I am sorry to say this but there are few things we need to face up to. We are going to be fighting relegation all season. Clark will given the money sign more dross, and players we don't need. when we need some players with height and strength, he plays him for the last 4 minutes.
Every thing that is wrong with the team is down to him, unless he finds a winning formula which doesn't require the opposition scoring own goals then we are in trouble, he has to go before the January window opens

3 points is 3 points. Didn't we ever need them. Agreed the points were big. Who ever said it was about an element of entertainment. Admiring players playing in wrong positions, without demonstrating any flair at all, no shots at goal......think we could do better in this regard

Agreed about shots on target.

Anyone else think we looked 100% better when JC came on and we went to 5 across the back? I take it with a pinch of salt as we were 2-0 at that point, but I thought we looked pretty decent. you're joking, aren't you ? We were dreadful the last 15 - but hey if you like defence v attack when 2 nil up at home that's your choice. We were dreadful at the end because once again Mr tinkerman had to mess wit the shape

I thought we were worse. Had no balance and no movement and no width and it invited them on to us. It worked but 5-3-2 is not the formation for us. You need good quality good footballing wing backs playing on their right side for it to be successful and we don’t have one of those.

Absolutely and I can understand why DC made the changes and we didn’t conceded so look in the book as they say. As for us being much better no we hardly had a kick.

Where we are at the moment, and for the forseable future, each game is going to a filthy dirty battle. Crying shame really as we're much better than that but we are where we are, own goals, back of someone's head, in off the post, it's a fight.
