Yes he played well in the second half but we cannot persist with Nichols, if we do we’ll be relegated.
Sinclair upfront at home to Oxford is also a disgrace. Really questioning some of DC’s decisions now.
They were very poor and we couldn’t beat them which says everything. If we fail to get 3 points against Wimbledon we might as well throw the towel in.

We’re out of the relegation zone! Happy days  Seriously though, one good result on Tuesday and things will seem a lot better as we may open up a little gap to the bottom four. Got to keep the faith at present. What choice do we have? Key stats: 1. Only two teams have conceded less goals than us.  2. No team has scored less than us  |

Everyone keeps saying they can,t wait for the Jan transfer window, but DC has a history of getting in crap players so whoever he brings in, the results or performances won,t improve. I know we keep selling our best players and replacing them with average to crap players, but most teams in this league do the same.The problem seems to be the negative tactics and players playing out of position each week. DC does not seem to have a plan B when plan A does not work.I dont think MS is much better. Looks like relegation this season.

Wasted half of the game not doing a thing other than giving Oxford chances. Big improvement 2nd half but can't finish. DC needs to fine himself and the Players except Bonham. This situation is totally unacceptable. DC got his selection and tactics wrong with his timid containment game. He should know that if you don't mount attacks you can only pick up one point which will ensure relegation. Is he employing these tactics deliberately aimed at our faceless owners or has he lost his mind? This is not the DC most of us admire.

It is worrying a 3rd division manager have been given over £700k for the strike force and D.Telford could do better. If this continues how could anyone justify spending more money in the January window ?. I think D.C got to early January ( a reasonable time ) to make this judgement either way. Think we need to stop wishing we had signed Telford. With the terrible service he wouldnt have done any better than the other strikers have (Nichols aside) |

Unbelievably there are four teams worse than us! And we've drawn 0-0 to 3 of them, make that 4 after Tuesday night? Pinch yourselves but we are unbeaten to the bottom 9 clubs ! . This suggest there is about 9 terrible clubs fighting for relegation. |

Yes he played well in the second half but we cannot persist with Nichols, if we do we’ll be relegated. Agree. He did nothing first half, like the team was better second half. One of his better games but there are just no goals in him. Need to start two up top next game. Payne one of them and either Jak or Reilly. Nichols should be no where near the starting 11 right now. |

Becoming more and more curious to see what a different manager could do with these players.

Second half midfield of
Bennet, Upson, Sercombe Matthews worked and was the most fluid I've seen us with the ball, I would however swap Sinclair with Sercombe. Sercombe much better attacking option in front of goal than Sincs. And would start that way on Tuesday
We just need the goals to come.

When things get this desperate you have just got to take what little you can get. It was vitally important that we didn't lose as that would have allowed Oxford to leapfrog us and send us into the bottom three. As it is we actually moved up one place, Nothing to celebrate, but maybe a little comfort until Tuesday.

I kept calling for wingers to start, they didn’t. We started with 4 CMs, it didn’t work. 1st half wasted.
2nd half, 2 wingers on - and surprise, surprise, we improved.
The narrow play is choking us so much. Come on DC start 4-4-2 on Tuesday!

South Stand Ultra. Sorry mate you are probably right, I might have been a bit harsh in DC,s signings, but I,m so angry with yet another poor result and poor performance. I really dont know what these players do on the training ground every day. Too many corners and free kicks under hit or over hit. When was the last time we scored from a set piece?

Bennett
Payne
Sercombe
Jakubiak
Lines
Reilly
Matthews
Rodman
You’re not telling me that there aren’t some goals somewhere amongst that lot. We just need a couple of these players to step up to the plate.
