OK, so two games in fans are already slating Clarke.
We have started off with two tough games IMO and Clarke had to change a lot in the summer on a tight ass budget. Mildenhall being out at the last minute tonight couldn't have helped preperations and from the three games I have seen so far we have looked a lot better than last season.
Let's give the guy a chance and see what he can do, hopefully the board can show him a bit more backing as well to bring more quality in.
The next 2 games are very winnable and if we get less than 4 point from those 2 then I may start to be concerned.

The board should have made money available to bring some quality in during pre season .Yet another fuc k up. |

I want to give the guy a chance, infact I've been a big supporter of him, however 2 of the 4 changes absolutely baffled me tonight.
The keeper change was a given and I can completely understand Brunt not being able to go through three games in a week at this point. But why did we need to change the system and remove Parkes and Leadbitter? The back line was solid on Saturday and maintaining that would have given us our best chance of atleast a point against Barnet.
Altrincham has already turned into a very important game.

Same people behind the scenes running operations and we thought it would be different? How stupid were we?

Poor bloke has a sh**ty end of a stick. However, I'm interested to know why he changed 3 players, unforced, from Saturday which in turn changed 3 of our backline Inc GK.

I like the bloke, but he really, REALLY needs to stop chopping and changing the side/system and just let it settle.
IMO he needs to decide on his favoured formation (3-5-2/4-4-2) and lineup and stick with it for a few games.
Obviously the Mildenhall change was forced, but things I don't get from tonight:
• Playing a new CB pairing infront of the new GK.
• Playing a CB at RB when a natural RB is sat on the bench.
• Dropping Brunt when he held the ball up very well on Saturday and helped us keep the ball high up the pitch.
• Changing the system to 4-4-2, when we looked very solid in 3-5-2 and probably needed that solidity away at a side who scored 5 on the weekend.
He doesn't help himself sometimes.

After the tweet from the club tonight I feel really sorry for DC. His hands are tied. When Dagenham can offer players a better package you know things are bad.

How much longer can we blame the managers without looking bloody stupid? |

About time this irresponsible board became responsible and backed DC a bit more. After all, they are the ones who put us in this division!

We can give him as many chances as we like but if the board don't do likewise then what is the point? Back to square one on the transfer front with the winger deemed too expensive and the striker choosing the footballing powerhouse that is Dagenham instead.

Clarke needs to calm the f**k down in my opinion. We are trying to build a squad that can play together and too many changes screwed us tonight. Especially with players that haven't had preseason to actually play together. Very disappointed to be honest. Its all very well having players that can play in all formations but as my old man points out, in the conference it just ain't gonna happen.
Mad dog ain't subtle. He tells you how hes gonna play down the wings and get the ball in to that twat akinde and we set out with a formation that gives us zero chance of cutting out the wingers? Jesus.
Needs sorting DC and this is from one of your biggest fans. Stop trying to change so much so bloody early. 1 forced change from Saturday and you make 4. The only reason for that is tactical and the tactics were all wrong in the first half. I hope tomorrow you will admit to the mistake and we can all move on knowing it wont happen again ...

Reasonable, perhaps...but to my mind he's already got several strikes against him. Said he'd have a squad in place before pre-season started. Fail. Used pre-season games to trial players who aren't now part of our plans, part-fail. Team not scored in 180 minutes of competitive football when our MASSIVE ISSUE last year was scoring. Fail Dropped nearly 10% of the total points Cambridge (2nd) dropped in the whole of last season in our first two games. Fail. He needs to knock one out of the park fairly soon (ie Saturday) or those tears will quickly become a sign of weakness and not strength... |

I'm of the same. I give a manager 10 points. 1 point deducted for a poor sub, 2 for a poor starting player for any given position, 3 points for a bad formation.
2 points for a good sub, 3 for a changed line up that does well and 5 points for a game changing sub/formation that salvages a point or more.
Darrell was on 1 point before half time tonight. Then recovered maybe 3.
4/10.

It's a results business and he/we have started this season exactly where we finished last season, not enough goals and not enough points... |
