A breathtaking 2nd goal, quick break squared by Billy and swept in off the post by Harrison, I had to capture my breath what there was left of it , great stuff UTG.

Come on. Sercombe and snake are two who have been good and served us well but it’s syretching it to say look no further at his recruitment. Believe me, I am using kind words as I don’t want to kill a 3-0win buzz Bodin? Partington? Want me to keep going? Keeping faith in Ellis? Is there a function for ignoring certain posters? Wall? Moore? Nicholls? James? Roos? White? Fallon? Lawrence? Hartley? Harris? Want me to keep going? It's fun this isn't it?  |

I think DCs recruitment has been brilliant.
We’ve gone up two divisions and are now mid table in league 1 and the majority of our squad was signed by him.
It’s easy to pick out this player or that player that wasn’t a stand out good signing at any club but 2 promotions and then a top ten finish speaks for itself.
Every one of DCs signing has played a part in getting us to where we are and we’ve spent and recouped near enough the same amount.
I fail to see how thsts not good transfer business.
Signings from non league and div 2 have proved good enough for league 1, Sinclair Leadbitter Bodin Gafney for example all pretty much free signings from a level lower than we are now have done well in league 1.
DC doesn’t sign big names he finds lower league gems for free which considering his budget these last few years is exactly what we’ve needed.

Want me to keep going? It's fun this isn't it? Given you're reliant on free transfers and loans who hardly played a game for us I'd say hes done okay. Lawrence was also a success in my eyes. Free kick against Crawley turned the game, a month before we went up on GD. That's enough for me. Just like Balanta, Blissett etc. all contributed to promotion the year before. |

Came on once, scored and never played again whilst I agree that most have played a part, when the man himself fronts up to not signing the right players then I listen to him. He’s been very honest on it. I didn’t post what I did to cause argument but to just counter the post in saying it’s unquestionable. Of course it is. That’s all , in essence, I had to say. Had they ALL been loans then fair enough but we paid for at least 3 that I know of and Burn looks like he’s a gunner already. Listen, we all make mistakes and I’m not a DC basher nowadays. If there was an award for manager of the last decade then he would have won it already. What worries me is can we rely on him to keep digging up these rough diamonds ? Other clubs are following his lead and I suspect at least 3 of the current squad to be gone in January. I think it’s unrealistic to think DC can keep finding over achievers. It’s not like I came on here saying DC is 5h1t and I want us to lose eh |

Every club in the world make signings they regret, but our progress is proof of DC's success in this area. I'd always thought players were brought in as backup & as competition for our own players, to gee them up,to pep up training. Why would you want to become dependent on loans? Yeovile did & where are they now? I'd prefer to think our own players responded & hence our loans never did much. Also probably done on the cheap, which was as a result of our finances, not DC's choice. But what do I know..... |

Want me to keep going? It's fun this isn't it? I’d rather judge a manage on when they get it right rather than when they get it wrong. Even Alex Ferguson made transfer mistakes. Ultimately two promotions speaks for itself. Some of you lot are so bloody negative / depressing you get caught up in the bad and can’t see the fantastic. |

only we can argue about a great win. Recruitment us simply explained. We get the best players we can with our wage budget and look at potential players players from no league teams. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. this is the same for every team in every league

Fantastic performance. Have to feel sorry for the Southend goalkeeper whose goals conceded far exceeds the game he played today, and that’s testament to the game we played. We simply did not look like a side who have just come out of a run representing relegation form. I’m excited where we could be going into 2018 despite the big gulf in points as of today. It’s quite right up there though so if we could close the gap then things could look very rosy. Liam sercombe is looking a fantastic signing and anyone who challenges DCs recruitment ability need look no further. Ellis Harrison. Most of us would have chopped him even as recent as three months ago but he is now just as important to our team as billy Bodin. Come on. Sercombe and snake are two who have been good and served us well but it’s stretching it to say look no further at his recruitment. Believe me, I am using kind words as I don’t want to kill a 3-0win buzz Leadbitter, Sinclair and Gaffney have all been instrumental in our progression from non league to League One(Even though I do think we can get better players),signing Chris Lines and Easter(although didn't play much) in The Conference was a master stroke. Even players like Adam Cunnington and Neal Trotman who were signed in The Conference were good signings at the time. Bodin is the best player in the division IMO, he was signed on a short term deal on a free, and is now easily worth a 7 figure sum(Contract dependent), every manager signs players that don't necessarily work out, but I don't think DC has done badly in recruitment at all. |

It's quite simple really. If DC has done badly in player recruitment, as some like to suggest, then how come we have had 2 back to back promotions followed by our highest league finish for 17 years?
Answers on a postcard please!

At no point does he say that Rovers were fantastic and unplayable because they’ve got some very good players and they were all on form. |

Thought Sercombe's fluidity on the ball was exceptional.
