You say they were fit but 2 of the 4 outfield players that did play both games over the weekend are now injured. At that rate, an unchanged XI may have meant us losing Taylor, Lines and Bodin as well. I say well done DC for thinking ahead rather than just about one game. UTG! I suppose if one had been knocked off his bycycle on Tuesday that would also be evidence that DC was right. Do you know how our injuries occurred? Thought not. Also an unchanged eleven may have meant a win on Monday and no more injuries. Total speculation on that score is just that. I also assume you didnt waste £70 or £80 on a trip to watch the reserves. It's easy from an armchair isn't it. I really wish you would stop referring to the team at Charlton as the 'reserves'. It's pretty disrespectful.

Not sure what it is with regular posters like SteveK, Gasincider etc lately but it seems they are confusing DC with the other clowns we've had in charge in the past. So far, DC has never let us down following our relegation, so the over reaction to the defeat at Charlton seems totally OTT. It seems this forum is turning into a anti Wael/anti DC forum, which is odd given we're just a couple of wins away from a Play Off spot. This is just laughable. I totally Back our current set up, but if you think all the moaning and groaning is an overreaction to the Charlton defeat then you have no idea what is happening. The set up at Charlton was totally wrong. If it had been a one off, fair enough. It wasn't. It was on the back of four crap away performances in a row during which we didn't seem to have a game plan in any one of them. It seems that away games now are totally experimental. If this was done at home you would perhaps understand more. Im telling you that DC wouldn't dare play the Charlton team at home because he would never get away with it. The players that didn't play were in our end. Shame you weren't there to hear some of the conversations. Furthermore, whilst I can afford the cost of away games probably better than most of our fans, some of them scrimp and save to go to away games. At about £70 or so to go to away games, the last thing you want to see is a reserve side representing us. As for this forum turning against Wael or DC, you are just looking to make headlines again pal. I haven't seen anybody looking to get rid of either. You really must learn to understand the written word. Either that or stop embarrassing yourself with ridiculous attempts at propaganda. If I had no faith in our management I wouldn't be in possession of tickets to the next few away games. Having wasted my time and money going to Shrewsbury, where DC put out the team we all anticipated I made the educated decision not to even think about going to Charlton, as I sensed even if we put out a full team we'd struggle after the home game with Charlton, I also felt after last season's Festive games there was a good chance DC would rest some 1st team players. The nonsense being posted since that match is completely OTT, it seems every thread started is questioning DC's ability to manage the club, make signings, even questioning why we employ a fitness coach.

*WOW* You really are a 'super fan' No. I'm someone lucky enough to be able to afford it. It's the younger ones I feel most for. They scrimp and save to follow the club they love and end up at a reserve game. Some of you of course, peter Parker being one, have much better foresight than me and obviously he was going to make 6 changes from a winning team, and play two pensioners in the middle. Why didn't I think of that? Let me know peter if he's doing the same tomorrow and I'll go and watch Bath City. I'll refer you to your comment 15 minutes before this one - " I also assume you didnt waste £70 or £80 on a trip to watch the reserves. It's easy from an armchair isn't it."So you feel sorry for people that have to 'scrimp and save'? But if people can't afford to do this then you think less of them because they are an 'armchair fan' and aren't allowed to have an opinion? I don't think you really have any sympathy for those less fortunate than your great self at all do you?

gasincider, there are lots of fans 'in armchairs' as you kindly put it, for reasons you don't know. How much did you pay for the high horse?

Seeing as you havent missed a game, i would assume you would have noticed that By all means question the line up and peformance, but none of can be that shocked by a number of changes

No, PP, he wouldn't have noticed that. He was too busy looking for players who shrug.

I quite enjoy a bit of sparring. It would be boring if it was a love in. As long as it remains a few, and most of us at the games are on the bus, I respect the right for groans on a forum as it gives me contrast and someone to argue with. It's stess therapy to have the odd keyboard war in good spirits, I bear no grudges to anyone You can't put conditions on debate on a forum. Saying as long as it remains a few sounds dictatorial. About 49-50 people on here have debated Charlton. Over 1500 at the game expressed what they thought. I'd suggest the prevailing thought is that DC got it wrong. Now move on. If I sound a bit dictatorial, that's absolutely fine. I am well qualified to be a dictator. Clearly you still bear a grudge after I tore you to ribbons on your criticism of Clarke. I would recommend giving this up because we both know who's going to come off worse, cappich? :-)

It's easy from an armchair isn't it. How was it the 'reserves'? Of the players that started, only Puddy, Mansell and Lawrence have played less than 10 games this season, the majority of the team having played over 20 games. Puddy has come in to replace out of favour Roos and is current first choice, and Mansell and Lawrence have made recent sub appearances having returned from injury - for both, this was their 3rd appearance in a row since returning. Lawrence made 35 appearances last season, including 12 for Rovers after joining in January. Mansell made 29 appearances last season.
I don't know how you can call that a reserve team.

Some people really do twist words. Nowhere has Gasincider intimated that all who did not go to Charlton are armchair supporters. His point is that he was there, for which in itself he is being vilified by some for being haughty, so he can make a judgement far better than someone who was not there. Surely that is common sense? It seems to me that people are not responding so much to his posts as to him. PP: Whilst I agree that peeps should always expect the unexpected from DC. I think the multiple changes made in the worthless cup were to make a point and were not really unexpected butI do think that 6 changes for a league match was a little too unexpected

With an attitude as fickle as that, it's remarkable that you haven't missed a game in 4 years.

"The players that didn't play were in our end. Shame you weren't there to hear some of the conversations." Did you go to Charlton did you? You haven't mentioned it before. Just for clarity, I haven't missed a game for four years. Attachments:

It's easy from an armchair isn't it." Right there Does that state that all supporters who did not go to Charlton are armchair supporters? The problem with forums is that people read into some things what they want to read. They then post it as if it is fact, this in turn leads to it being accepted as others to be fact. I term this "Forum Fact Syndrome" (FFS). It frequently leads to even more tangents than usual appearing in threads (such as my own posting on here ).

So do you think he was just calling ME an armchair supporter rather than everyone who didn't go to Charlton? It must be one or the other. I like that term btw. Could be used quite frequently on here. UTG!
