First of all i don't want DC removed and i'm not taking away from his success but i do believe he has been performing quite badly recently.
I feel he changes the tactics, formation and players far too often and its hard for the players to settle. I really want to see us focus on our own strengths rather then constantly change depending on who we are playing. This is the main reason for our inconsistency.
I also feel we should have signed a decent number 1 keeper and that he should not have publically criicised Nicholls.
Right there it is, feel free to disagree just want to start off a discussion.

After two defeats DC changed the tactics & line up and we were 90 seconds from pulling off an away win at an inform Exeter after their goalie brought off a number of impressive saves, not really sure what more DC could have done today to achieve a win, bar name himself in the team?
Not sure he has "publically"criticised Nicholls but just said he's disappointed with some of the goals he's conceded, I would imagine Nicholls agrees with him? With money so tight can we really afford a new No 1 with Mildenhall & Puddy also on the books.

I made the same comment before the game and would still have been valid if we won. We win one lose one win one lose one. We are changing it too often. As i said i wanted to start a debate about it but as per usual you can't debate. |

Totally disagree we made them look like fools today and the only thing missing is the taking chances,he must going nuts in his head,he's got us playing passing football like no gas side I can remember It will all come together I trust him and the players and they were good to watch today |

If today was so good lets stick with it for a decent run. Have to say i prefer 4-4-2 but regardless lets have a settled side. |

The formation and tactics that DC chose today were spot on and that showed with us dominating throughout, apart from the last few minutes. On most other days we would of held on and come away with 3 points.
The high pressing game, especially in the first half completely stopped Exeter playing the way they wanted to and it was nice to see us hunting in packs and pushing them back instead of just one person chasing shadows. Special mention to Gaffney and mansell who I thought covered loads of ground. We also passed the ball as well as I've seen for a long time.
My only question mark would be him taking Leadbitter off as he was getting the better of their full back all game.
DC got it right today, unfortunately we were just unlucky but that's football.

Hi this thread was not meant to be a discussion of whether he got today right or not but about my belief that we have been so inconsistent because he changes things far far too much. If today was great we need a decent run of games. He is likely to turn it on its arse next game because of his every games a project policy which i think is holding us back. |

I can understand where the OP is coming from.
I feel he maybe tinkers a little unnecessarily at times and we continue to play the opposition rather than make them play us.
I wouldn't go so far as to say I am disappointed, but I really want to be seeing us dictate a game, especially at home.

The side DC put out today played some decent football and totally dominated the game. The last 10 minutes a side, proberly because the ref was giving Exeter non existent free kicks and they were pressing for the equaliser.
A more one sided game you will be hard pressed to see. Their keeper was certainly on form. Otherwise the score would been at least 5.
How anyone can even think of taking a cheap pop shot at Darrel Clarke after today's daylight robbery is beyond belief.
The only point I would agree on is a settled side but today proved the players are up to changes. They really did play some good football and the new chap will be an asset,that's for sure.
Bringing on Harrison and Easter was not a change I personally would have made, that's for sure but a change was needed.

But what are our strengths? IMO there are no stand out players in the squad.
We had a bigger man up top today so be played with wing backs to deliver plenty of crosses. On Tuesday he played with wingers on opposite wings to cut inside, to maybe link with the two smaller strikers on the pitch? To me that's trying to play to our strengths.
Lockyer, Brown, Sinclair and Taylor are the only players that probably deserve a starting spot every week so how can he stick to the same XI every week with too many inconsistent players?

I think DC is his own man and he is going to manage his way. It may not always produce results, but he believes in his methods and therefor wont change. I reckon we are in a good position and if we hit a bit of form anything is possible.

How many games have you seen us play this season, out of interest? and yes, it does matter. |

All the home games bar two and a couple of aways. We are inconsistant because we tinker too much imo. Still support DC but been dissapointed with recent results.

The problem for DC is that the use of wing backs works away from home but not at the Mem, hopefully the signing of Gaffney and Paris will lead to us being able to breakdown teams at home.
Whilst we seemed to stronger with Leadbitter in the side today his replacement, Bodin, set up the goal for Sinclair so you can't really complain about the substitution/change of tactic.
