See DC is off to his usual flying start, might put a few quid on them going up, sure to improve soon hope he succeeds Gas legend but became the tinkerman.

Just had a look at the stats from their game today and they played twice as many passes as Bradford but lost 1-0. Sounds like his Rovers team last season. Those coaching badges appear to be his downfall.

Yep , convinced DC got bogged down with to much theory in the end instead of pre FA COURSES days when it was all instinct. think he tied himself up in knots in the end, great shame cos was desperate for him to turn it round, but as has been said we are managed by GC now who IMHO is doing a grand job !

I hope he turns it around. If he doesn’t and he gets the chop, I think he might struggle getting employment as manager in the football league.

It’s definitely a poor start he’s having at Walsall. Hopefully the board will give him time to get his new project to gel but I’m not so sure the fans will.

I thought he might of opted for Hartlepool to reinstate his career. He played a lot of games for them. Walsall never felt like a good match to me. Having said that, he might well get it right come Xmas, but something tells me he won't. He seems to have dug a hole for himself that he can't get out of.

Absolutely. If he'd stayed it would be us instead of Walsall struggling at the wrong end of L2 with diminishing crowds. Look how they've dropped even though we're doing OK in L1. Hopefully people will recognise that GC is doing a good job considering his hands are tied budget wise, and start to return for our home games, starting on Tuesday.

Adie Boothroyd was never the same manager after earning his badges either. They're obviously just a qualification, and not a serious educational tool.

Time DC got his head out of his own ASS and listened to others around him.

Noticed Colin Murray said DC was the guest pundit on the EFL show this coming Wednesday night on Quest.

I'm pretty sure DC had his A License when he won back to back promotions, the Pro license has nothing to do with it. I personally don't think DC recruited well enough in the summer for Walsall, similar to his last couple of windows with us.

Hey up boys i come in peace, I know you've moved on from DC and stuff but i was hoping for a little advice. As a few have said we are looking shocking atm, i mean 1 goal in 10 hours of play, Set up very very defensive, playing players in odd positions, playing odd formations, never sticks with the same team, I just dont understand his ideas on it all and was hoping you boys could show me a bit more light on him. I mean hes come into a rotten club but hes got off to the worst start you could imagine and knowing you boys been thru this already i was wanted too ask your opinion on it all? Weve got boos after games and a few people saying he should go already, completely over the top but hey when you dont win these things happen, Cheers for any words, and good luck this season boys!

All I can say is just get behind him. We started every season badly under him and you've had a lot of change during the summer. The stats didn't look that bad yesterday in your game. I seen a few of your fans underwhelmed with signing Gaffney, he's a good addition for you. I didn't want us to lose him in L1 as he was a good 2nd/3rd choice striker for us but Salford obviously offered more money than we were paying (rumour was £3k a week), he's hard working andhis biggest strength is running the channels and bringing others into play. SS and JC are good honest pros too. Sounds like you just need some quality to go with that hard work. I'm sure I speak for most Rovers fans in saying I hope he can turn it around and be successful with you.

Guy is a legend and loved here (rightly so) yet there was a definite shift in his style of play which started to show in results, instead of being worried about winning he appears more worried about losing. People will tell you he will turn it around but he’s been on a steady decline for a while now, 7 league wins since February 2018 says it all....I hope he turns it around as he’s a decent bloke but it doesn’t sound like there’s any sign of that happening soon.

This post could almost have been written by your average Gashead. It sounds all too familiar. That being said, the points you make were not just the cause of our downfall & his eventual departure, but also the catalyst for three amazing seasons prior. Giving up on him after 7/8 games would just be complete lunacy.

He never keeps the same team. That's DC.
