Still conceded 2, so not sure we can say he's better than Roos. And did a classic puddy fumble don't forget

Didn't get a great sense of what happened with ty second. First was down to a poor clearance from Lockyer and nothing puddy could do.
Wasn't required much, and not able to make a difference when he was, but struck me as more composed and a better decision maker.
More importantly, the defence looked 100x more confident and composed with him behind them.

Clarke definitely reads this forum, probably had one look at the poll results and thought he'd troll us all

I like Darrel but he should be a bit more diplomatic than that. Close the door then say your peace.

Disgusting that DC has come out and said this and its very similar to the way he treated Mildy last season and that back fired on him. DC has cost us more points than Roos this season in that he keeps changing the defence so how does he expect them to play well together and get an understanding. Add to that they can't pass a decent ball between them consistently and yet with his system they end up with more of the ball than any other player. Boateng proved to day that he should have played far more often than he has and the lack of width today was frightening and we only won because Bury were absolutely woeful. This said I would not swop DC for any other manager just hope he will learn lessons like the players ,he is after all as inexperienced at this level as most of the players.

DC is honest (as he sees things) and to my mind that is far better than someone who spouts what people want to hear, or sound bites, i.e., a la Holloway.
We may not all agree with what he says but at least it is how he feels and how he thinks we can be better as a team: There is no BS or false diplomacy in Darrellspeak.

Steve, much as I like your write ups, your dislike of DC's management always shows. He is the (only) manager who has got us successive promotions so he must know what he is doing. He is not going to win every game but he has always said that he will give the players who got us where we are the chance to prove themselves. He will know better than anyone who he needs to replace and I think that will become apparent in January, as his after match interview suggested today.

Have to say I never agree with managers publicly criticising players. Seems to me like he is trying to make Roos the scapegoat by doing this and we are sure to get a new keeper in January?
Will Roos go back to Derby early too? Wouldn't surprise me...

Not really making Roos the scapegoat he's just being honest?
Roos has cost us with basic mistakes this season, it's there for everyone to see. The defence has been poor too, but Roos has made errors where the defence aren't even a factor. Frankly SteveK your dislike of DC is telling and it has put me off reading your reports because you're always finding some reason to have a pop at the bloke.

Yes Roos has cost us but so have Lockyer etc. Roos is an easy scapegoat as he is only on loan. And yes he has been honest but I don't agree with publicily humilating players like that, I can't imagine DC doing that to a non loanee.

mariobalotelli, Whatever you may think I do not dislike DC. I do not like his forever changing the team or particularly the lack of width in his style of play but it has brought results and at the end of the day that is what this game is about. As far as I am concerned he is open to criticism after a game as are the individual players I am reporting on. In this particular case, like last season with Mildenhall I believe there are comments that should be left behind closed doors and left for supporters to debate on forums. Like someone else said would he have made these comments about Sinclair or Lockyer? DC has done fantastic things for our club and deserves the accolades for this but lets be honest he is still a relatively inexperienced Manager at this level and it will be a big test of his Managerial ability now as really the last month has been his only real blip since the dark days of Altringham. The January transfer window cannot really come quick enough at the moment when we will see (I assume) what he will be like in the Market with a bit of dosh. As I have stated on many occasions there is not another Manager I would want to see here at the present time although in victory or defeat I can only comment on a game as I see it and the way I would like to see the game played which may differ to many and that is what football is all about. I try to give a balanced report and that is why when I criticize his "tinkering" I have to admit that whilst it has cost us games its success has far out numbered its failure but is it good for the progress of individual players I am not convinced.

How much of that played a part in Mildenhall coming back so strongly and defying Darrells comments and criticism midway through the season? Whilst his criticism of Mildenhall so early in the season, and persistence in playing Lee Nichols last year was stubborn and short sighted I feel he has dealt well with the situation this year, even if he gave Roos a few too many starts before giving him the chop. Amazing how much this season has parallels with the previous two with goalkeeping position, and thee league position. Remember Darrell losing patience with Lee Nichols this time last season.
