Gas v The Real Wimbledon- Matchday Thread

Any manager who losses 8 out of 9 games will be under pressure and this is affecting 'confidence' in the playing team. We are in a mess and when the mid week games are played we could be even lower down the division. But we also need to accept that DC have only spent what he have received in the pass 3 years. Once again as before the board needs to answer : Why we are a top 5 club who haven't spent a penny on defenders ( except parts ) ?. All we have done is kept the majority of vanarama players and added loans and free's. I feel sorry for D.C but understand this is a cruel game and his current form is questionable.

Was one of the several to leave after the third goal. 

My old man says in his 40 odd years supporting the gas, that this was one of the worst home games he has ever watched - and I can tell why. The players were booed off at half time, and I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the same at the end of the game. That's the second home game in a row they have. We have no desire, no leaders. 

The only positive thing about today was the bloody cheesy chips at half time. 

Adam Smith produced two decent saves (people will be clutching at straws and say that they were top-notch, but they weren't), and made a howler which almost lead to 0-2 within the first 5 minutes, and should have done alot better with the first goal, and possibly the third, but with the second and the third, our defense gave their players too much time to dwell on the ball that they were both easy goals. 

Relegation form. 

Would say "sort it out" but I think the backroom staff have lost confidence in themselves, as some, if not most of us have lost in them too. You cant call those who have a negative opinion in these situations directed at Clarke; He was given money, albeit not enough, and given the chance to strengthen, and instead spent almost half a million in payment and add-ons for Tom bloody Nichols who's done nothing but make the fans say "He needs a goal," "Give him one more match," and "He'll come good."

Sorry to say, if this continues, which I think it will, since there wont be any investment in less than two months time in the window, we'll go back down. 

Sadly it was as bad as everyone is saying. Easily the worst performance of the season for me and f*cking depressing. Im sorry to say 3-1 flattered us. I wasn't as worried as some others until today.

We were battered. They could have had 5 after thirty minutes. We never got into it. Didn't get a decent chance until about the 75th minute. They were content to let us have it in our own half, and we weren't brave enough to beat a man in their half, and relied on long crossfield passes, which they were always comfortable with.

I partly agree with what you’re saying. I think what he means is that there is a lot of negativity within the fans at the minute due to the amount of bullshit that people post on here. It’s not a case of win or lose because of rumours on here but when the fans start turning on the players it must play on their minds.

The most ludicrous thing for me is people turning on DC and I do believe that this is of course going to affect his mood. As has been previously stated, DC is a victim of his own success. This is the worst spell we have had since our relegation out of the league. Am I enjoying it? NO! Do I believe we’ll fight back from it? YES!

The impatience at clubs and them getting rid of a manager because of one bad patch is what’s wrong with modern football in my opinion. This is where DC and the team need the fans to stick by them and show loyalty as he has done with us. We need to continue to show our support and I am confident that DC will turn it around and all the moaners will end up with egg on their face as they have done when they’ve doubted him in previous seasons. I still strongly believe we’ll be top half come next May. UTG!

Worse of the season? I'd say it's the worse since Newport way back in Div 2, god knows why DC didn't replace Broadbent at half time as Taylor was simply just too good for him today.

First home game for me, and that was utter garbage.

The midfield four were clueless - Lines & Sercombe seem to want to do the same thing. Sinclair is a L2 player at best and Ollie Clarke a shadow of his form from last season.

Forwards non-existent and no creativity.

The defending for the third goal was woeful.

If we're going to lose like that then play two wingers and have a go. Moore & Broom would at least offer more than what we witnessed this afternoon.

Rovers had more possession and more attempts at goal.

Our defence is Dam terrible, Sweeney(I know he didn't start today) needs to be sent back, DC got rid of Colkett and Boateng because they apparently weren't pulling their weight but both were far superior in their performances than this clown since he's come back. What on earth has happened with him?

And Lockyer? The lads just not good enough at this level im afraid. He was a good Conference defender, a decent League 2 defender, but he's an awful League One defender. He seems more interested in getting capped for Wales than the club who pays his wages. The reason your getting capped for Wales pal is because of the lack of players to pick from, not because you're any good.

The only clean sheet we've had in the league is when Meneyese and Broadbent played together, and they almost got another one against Scunthorpe last weekend, as soon as Lockyer's back in we concede another 3.

Meneyese and Broadbent should be the pairing from now on.

We need Bodin back A.S.A.P its no coincidence that we've pretty much lost every game since he's been injured, he's got the bit of magic that even if we concede he pulls us back into matches.

Sweeney, Lockyer, Sinclair and Ollie Clarke should be told you've done well for us, thanks, but you're no longer could enough anymore. Possibly Lee Brown and Leadbitter too, and obviously dross like Byron Moore, it'll be hard to get rid of all of them in January but definitely send Sweeney back, get rid of 2 now and 5 in the summer.

It can and will
