Boateng just off the top of my head was our best player at Sheffield Utd and Oldham, but was then dropped in the following games.
Ask yourself, how would you feel if being the best player counted for nowt?.
DC has been both a good and a lucky manager until now. Lucky in so far as our conference players have played above themselves. But it doesn't help to keep changing the team for no good reason.

I think yesterday's game would have suited Boateng to be honest. We needed players who were prepared to get stuck in. We had too many lightweight players shirking away from challenges/headers etc.

DC talks the talk but has yet to walk the walk. He says players that aren't good enough will be on their way, and yet he gives everyone another contract if we go up. That is a great motivator in Non League but Division One? So far since we have been in the league Blisset and Parkes have gone along with a few youths, but ask yourself this; why are Mansell; Mc Crystal; Lawrence: Puddy: Mildenhall and Gosling here? They are not going to play for us again, and if they were then yesterday would have been a good chance for them. The truth is we have too many players who are not good enough for this level on a contract, we also in my opinion have players in the team who aren't good enough. So lots of money going on players we don't need / want. Then the squad is too big, and I think this is one of the reasons that he changes the bloody team all the time. You should always play the same defence, but that is a problem for us because they are not very good either. I don't know how many players we will end the season with but we will be miles over our budget that's for sure and that was not the message I got from the Chairman at the beginning of the season. And Finally: do we trust DC in signing players? Well if Moore and Hartley are anything to go by then no I don't.

DC and MS have to take their share of responsibility for today's performance as well as the players. What were they trying to achieve with a 4-4-2 formation which, Lines apart, had not a jot of creativity in midfield? The formation had all the hallmarks of a team set up to contain the opposition, not to take them on. Opposition which was two leagues below us! Lines, admittedly, had a poor game today but that only served to highlight what little else the midfield had to offer. How many times did the midfield pass the ball sideways or backwards to the back four and/or goalkeeper? Where was the pace and movement and, Sinclair's first half effort aside, where were the forward runs? The constant chopping and changing of the side and the different formations is not helping and DC is beginning to sound like a stuck record when he repeatedly defaults to blaming the players. Time to stand up and be counted DC. We didn't play play 4-4-2 we played the terrible and up to now very unsuccessful wing back formation. That was the biggest problem.

Unless you live under a rock we all know why all last season's players are still here, whilst it's back firing slightly now, who'd swap being back in Div 2 with having too many players in Div 1? As far as Boateng, as he recovered from the injury he picked up at Millwall? Although for his size he seems lightweight to me when the going gets tough.

Well if Moore and Hartley are anything to go by then no I don't. all our fans should by now know why dc offered everyone a contract,would we have still got promoted without the contract pledge? we will never know. most of his signings until this season have been outstanding in getting us promoted twice but so far our 2 permanent and 6 loan players either havnt done well or havnt had a chance to do well which is a worry i admit.

One thing I wasn't happy with I thought dc made it public he's getting rid of players that didn't perform...as their be seen as the scapegoats... He was saying it's not rocket science to see what we need??? Yeah it is and that is one formation and a team you battle to get into not m.o.m one week then dropped...changing formation two to three times against a non league team come on?

He generally signs players who are up for it and committed. DC has turned around a long standing, deeply damaging culture of unprofessionalism within the club through a massive effort - a big chunk of which has involved bringing in the right kind of professionals. This is why it's really odd/ unappreciative be concerned about his ability sign players.
