I thought it was our best home performance in the first half - going forwards. We hit the post, put some good balls in the box, Sercombe forced a good save from the keeper. Even Payne had 2 shots on target. I thought a draw would've been fair at ht. Unfortunately, their No.9 hit a peach and then the defence went to sleep just before ht. Sometimes football can be very cruel. 2nd half was devastating but still overall the score was very harsh on Rovers. UTG ! And I think the peach might just have had a little wind assistance. They weren't really better than us but knew if they went for the jugular, as we're pretty fragile at the moment, they could do something. And of course we can't score. You've got to be taking the p1ss.

You've got to be taking the p1ss. LJG he/she probably didn’t attend. At times it was like a training session for them even DC said they were passing it around us taking the water or something to that effect in his interview. Can’t recall us ever getting close to them and if I’m not mistaken I don’t think we even got a booking despite being humiliated in front of our own fans. No fight or passion at all in our side, let alone quality

Here’s pure deflection for you. Training ground - can’t say legal issues. New stadium - can’t say legal issues. Too cowardly to tell the truth. What's that got to do with getting dicked every week because our starting line-up contains a strike force with 2 league goals in it? DC needs to talk about that on the radio. A stadium plan and breaking soil on a training ground development won't get us out of a relegation spot. Scoring some f**king goals might. But rather than address the issue "My strikers are dog doo doo and I keep picking them" it's easier to say "Look! There's a boogey man behind the sofa!!!" Talk about Wael hiding behind legal issues all you want but I didn't see him in the squad that just got sh1t on yet again. He said his signings and tactics had not been good enough in that interview. He also said the strikers were not delivering. I like his honesty, a rare commodity at Rovers these days.

Every team who play us know DCs tactics which is simply have two at the most up front and the rest not far off the back 4 or 5. Be fair good players don't suddenly become awful unless there is a good reason behind it. What is the motivation for players who play well and are then dropped? Awful teams are coming to us and picking us off because our attackers have to chase four players around. DC's tactics are boring and unproductive. The owners haven't lost all those points this season...the Manager and his rubbish selections have.

I can't understand DC's thinking, Nichols nor Payne ever look like scoring in the league, Jakubiak scores a worldy v Swansea U23's, so what does he do, start with dumb & dumber again.
Likewise 4-4-2 worked at Swansea so why revert to 3-5-2 today, particularly with Parts rather than Leads at RWB. Then after 20 mins reverts back to 4-4-2! Then mid way though the 2nd half we virtually back to Wednesday's line up/team!
It's almost as if DC's setting us up to not score/lose. Not sure if he's just trying to prove a point, as lost the plot, or trying to get sack, or perhaps even force the owners to sell up.

Likewise Payne's unlooked unfit/uninterested from day 1, can you imagine Lambert or Harrison, even Gaffney, looking just as poor in a DC team? If Payne doesn't like DC's tactics then why the hell did he sign for him!

The problem being is that we were up against an actual football side today who don't stand off and let players go through them unchallenged.

The lack of investment and fact we've had to sell most of our decent players must have a lot to do with it, last season wasn't as bad. I think it's ironic how people were saying how great the Jordanians were not very long ago, let's face it they have no emotional attachment to our club and ultimately despite trying to say the right things, don't really care. The guy claimed to be a Chelsea fan but probably hadn't even heard of us very long before they bought the club. I'm pretty sure they won't be prepared to lose any money out of their English football misadventure, which could spell tragedy for us. DC can't be totally absolved of any blame but I think he's not the main problem for sure.

Well the current training ground got us 2 promotions . I think he is trying to deflect the short comings in what he has done this season. As for his contract, it may well have a clause in it saying that if we dismiss him then we pay 6 months salary or perhaps 12 months. You don't always have to pay the full amount

Rubbish, we are in Div ONE the players we sold were all coming to the end of their contracts and no doubt looking forward to moving. You cannot stop players from wanting to go to a bigger club

You don't always have to pay the full amount Not bringing a load of sh1t on his shoulders by telling the truth is really deflecting his short comings when he also admits he's failed after being given a decent budget, as far as the training ground perhaps you've hit the nail on the head, as players like Sincs & J Clarke knew no better but players like Rodman & Payne are probably shocked at our facilities. If a training ground in't important why are club's like Lincoln spending a fortune on one. As far as his notice period none of us know whether it's still another 3 years or shorter, it's got to be at least a year as even Trollope etc had a rolling 1 year contract.
