Could only find one, quite pertinent. I've used the comic font.
"Today was very similar to the 5-1 away game, their defence was so poor it's almost hard to judge how good we were.
Magennis took advantage of their lack of defensive organisation and was superb."

Just seen the goals - neat finishes from the big man - BUT the amount of space he had for all three was beyond reason !!! no-one even touched him for all three - bizarre !

Look harder my friend:
BR were truly dire, how they are above us I have no idea. We had one striker yet they managed to forget to mark him and gave him completely free headers even I could not have missed for our first two. The third was equally poor defending and two of their players went to watch the replay on the big screen whilst they waited for the kick off so they could see just how bad it was.

Or - - -
Obviously pleased to win, but their defending was dreadful and I am amazed they are where they are in the League. There are plenty more on the same theme but today at least they were spot on with those assessments. Felt today Darryl pretty much sacrificed today in favour of next Saturday, just wish he'd told me I could have saved a lot of money!

DC's blaming Locks for the first two goals in his post match interview, although whilst he started by saying he needed to address the problem in January he then said Locks will bounce back! I just don't think Locks can cope with the increased quality/movement at this level.

If McChrystal is fit, then it must be worth putting him in alongside Lockyer - either as a central pair or in a back three. MM has brought out the best in Tom in the past by helping him with organisation and communication - he won't provide the threat at the other end that Hartley does but it might just help sort out the basics of defending.

Bang on for me, good player but not a captain. An unfair burden if he finds it difficult but I'm sure DC not keen to demotivate him. But really helped Parkes who was an equally unsuitable captain |

"If Charlton are enjoying themselves, then Rovers are having a nightmare which is summed up when Mansell gets the ball in the centre circle and with many options to choose from, he blazes the ball off the back of the referee who not only gets a shock of pain but also a load of verbal’s from the Rovers man who decides that the man in black should not be in the way. Like a pilot flying into a mountain with lots of sky to choose from, who then shouts at the rock."

Think it's time for Locks to be dropped simple

I think a lot of people are making too much of Locks captaincy, he is struggling at jumping 2 levels in quick succession. Whilst I feel he will come good he is making a lot of mistakes which are leading to goals.
As for Hartley I still think Plymouth got the better deal by shipping him to us and getting Sonny Bradley in. Maybe we should just leave him up front and get someone in who can defend?
At the moment I can see the argument for getting a completely new back 4 and keeper.

Truth is one person gave the game to Charlton today- DC. He can blame who he likes but he made six changes when none were really needed and he has made Lockyer the Captain and played him continuously through a terrible run of form. You can't just change an entire midfield with three players who have hardly played and the other who hasn't played for two games.
Whatever people say although DC knows a lot more about football than any of us today we were right and he was totally wrong and to make things worse he will have learnt very little about the players he brought in because together they didn't stand a chance - only one at the most of Moore, Mansell and Lawrence should have been playing in the same game at this time.
Hopefully this will be the final time that Darrell makes so many changes or will he never learn? Even good Managers make mistakes but the greats learn from them.

Couldn't agree more with Steve192. This is now DC at his worst. He is so stubborn it's his way or the highway. Whilst he was right to point the finger for rank bad defending at Locks who must now be dropped for a while, the main blame is DC himself.
We once again get treated to verbal bullshit about ' I should have changed more', and maybe you are right DC. How about handing team selection over to me, even I couldn't get it so wrong as you, and if I did I would hold my hand up and say I didn't help by making so many bloody stupid changes.
We were in the pub at Charlton when we saw the team for the game, and couldn't believe it. On the back of three wins out of four, you kidded nearly 1600 of us to go all the way to Charlton to watch our reserves. What a bloody joke.
Sorry DC but your arrogance at times leaves me breathless. After Shrewsbury, your after match news conference was almost apologetic and humbling. By the time we had beaten Wimbledon, you were back to treating the interviewer like a naughty schoolboy, with constant snide comments.
Think where you have come from DC and remember you are only as good as your last result. Our fans deserved better than a reserve outing today. If you think our players can't cope with two games in three days, then they are not as fit as you kid us they are. Every other team has to do the same, and how often does Pulis change his Albion side, or indeed Conte at Chelsea?
It's not only the team that has to evolve DC, but the manager has to as well. Much as I am grateful for what you have won for us in the last two years DC, it is now a glorious part of our history. On the pitch now it counts for f..k all. After the game all anybody could talk about was the number of changes. By the time we got to the services, all anybody wanted to talk about was, (you've guessed it) the number of changes.
Learn quickly DC, and most of all learn not to be so bloody arrogant. Nobody is unsackable, and we cannot be held back by your refusal to evolve. And before anyone of our loyal armchair experts tells me I know nowt compared to DC, yes I do, and so do 1570 others who watched that crap yesterday. We all know that there are far too many changes on a weekly basis.
I'll leave Steve to mark the team, and that won't take two minutes.

The conference to 10th in league one but "DC needs to evolve"  Asking DC not to be so arrogant yet you think you know better than our double winning promotion manager. To mention sacking and DC in the same sentence at this stage is a complete insult to the bloke and all what he has achieved with us. Have a word with yourself! |

It's all well and good saying drop Lockyer and/or Hartley, but who would we play? James Clarke and McCrystal are not better, and Clarke-Salter is injured. Have to wait until we (hopefully) bring another one or two in.

Top post. DC's success in the previous two seasons is without question but his constant meddling with team selections and tactics this season is frustrating at best and, at worst, insulting to loyal BRFC fans. He is guilty of over complicating what should be a fairly straightforward winning formula. I am tempted to say we are BRFC not Real Madrid but not even RM make the changes DC does pretty much every week. An insult to 1600 travelling fans. Again.

To mention sacking and DC in the same sentence at this stage is a complete insult to the bloke and all what he has achieved with us. Have a word with yourself! Not sure gasincider was really asking for DC to be sacked here was he. What is clear is that the number of changes have upset the guy, the 6 players in front the defenders you might argue do they even have a future at the club. I agree why did we make so many, selected 2 players close to retirement and not very mobile and lack game time, Moore who has hardly kicked a ball season either and is in no form and Sinclair a guy who works so hard and is great at running around but he isn't going to win you a football match. The 6 changes seemed like they were made like the game didn't matter too much and we would rather have a go on Saturday. I think if we were going to make so many changes and play like we did why didn't we sacrifice a striker and play 1 up front (Gaffeney), Colckett was on the bench again, couldn't we have given our midfield a chance with safety in numbers. I also agree with regards to DC comments to interview, commenting on fans getting concerned we were going to be relegated and then excited about play offs after Dons game. we were really bad for 10 games and still find ourselves 10th somehow. Yesterday selection was almost like we were happy to take this defeat. |

No one has mentioned sacking DC and who would do with his record however what more and more are thinking now is that he does not learn from his mistakes and whatever anybody says sometimes he is wrong and us supporters are right..oh and a little respect for the interviewer would not go amiss as I am sure that no interviewer has exactly been hard on him in the questions asked. For those who will again throw the "In DC we trust" rubbish I can assure you that from what I heard around the stadium yesterday this trust is being tested by rank poor selection. Thankfully the team have not let us or DC down very often but it is now becoming more regular.
