If Bennett’s shot had’ve been an inch or two lower and their player had have been rightly given offside when he scored their first we’d have got the win we deserved and everyone would be buzzing. But luck wasn’t on our side and no doubt the whole performance and every player will now be slated by the majority, cue meltdown. “Rightly given offside”? But it took a deflection off a Rovers player so it wasn’t offside ,I’m afraid. Deflections don't cancel offsides. It needs to be deliberately played by the defender. Either way it's a bullshit interpretation imo, and I wish they'd do something more sensible. |

Dunno how we lost that game. Baffled. We are equally as poor as the last team relegated from L1; even Darryl Duffy would get in this team. I thought Daryl Duffy was a shocking waste of money at 110k but compared to our current strikers he would absolutely be a nailed on starter week in week out. |

DC just said don't expect much to happen in January, just what i needed to hear after that second half, not. If that is the case then our owners will well and truly be revealed for the emperor's new clothes that they are. |

But it took a deflection off a Rovers player so it wasn’t offside ,I’m afraid. The Offside Law states: "A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage." I can't see how a deflection is deliberately playing the ball. Surely this is to cover things such as sloppy back passes? Edit - I see Antonio beat me to it. |

Lots will blame the owners but DC has already wasted 600k on strikers who don’t score. |

Time to change it saddens me to conclude. Cant justify putting a side out like that week after week. DC will always been a legend but hes lost his way We did that with Trollope, I'm not sure changing the manager is going to guarantee an up turn in results. Particularly if the new manager has to work with all DC's players. |

But we haven't, we're in the relegation zone and after 10+ games the table doesn't lie. We're crap at this point in time and the recruitment (especially up front) has been rubbish. I’m not saying we deserve to be top of the league or anywhere near. My point is that the game is decided on very fine margins, those margins have meant we’ve lost not won today, but it doesn’t mean our whole performance was a lot worse than it would’ve been had we won. But the fans reactions are a hell of a lot different than what they would’ve been had we won. |

In the past DC always said if they are not good enough they wont be here long, now it's we have to get rid before we can get anyone in. Just not what i needed to hear, i rather he said i'll be looking to strengthen in Jan if needed, even if he knew it's easier said than done. |

They also hit the post and Clarke cleared one off the line second half, oh and they scored so could have been even worse as well as better. |

Particularly if the new manager has to work with all DC's players. I’m pretty sure that the struggling teams who sacked their managers last season still went down anyway. So not sure why everyone thinks a channge of managment will have us shooting up the table. Can also look at the last time we were relegated from legue one. Two changes of management made no difference. |

I’m sick of coming away from the game thinking we had more possession had more corners and morr chances but lost.
We just don’t make the most of our attacking opportunities.
Not lines fault he Hit thst as good as any of the ones he’s scored, great save , their keeper also made a fantastic save first half and was Man of the match.

But the fans reactions are a hell of a lot different than what they would’ve been had we won. Exactly this. According to BBC stats we had 16 shots to their 6 and 8 of ours we're on target to 3 of theirs. The fact is that we forced a few decent saves out of their keeper and hit the woodwork as well. If we score the pen and their first goal is given offside, as it should have been imo, then we win the game, simple as that. It's very fine lines as you say. For me I don't think our overall play is that bad throughout the squad, the key issues are a lack of quality in the final third and one other thing that bugs the hell out of me is that we don't pressurise they opposition when they have the ball, they seem to be given way too much space to play through us. I don't think we need wholesale changes but as a minimum we need some better options up front in Jan. I really hope the club recognise this and are already drawing up a list of a number of options to pursue. UTG |

Not sure we created anything in the second half, apart from the penalty, whereas Scunthorpe hit the bar, had a shot cleared off the line and also scored. That's a concern has when we needed to step up our game we were found wanting.

If we are not planning on a big overhaul in january then we will be relegated pure and simple. There is no money, we are already in the bottom four, this current squad is hopeless, I cannot see anything other than relegation. DC & the whole fan base has been totally let down. by the now absent Wael and his Jordanian family. |

DC said players would have to be shipped out before any new signings come in. Have DS clawed back a decent chunk of the Bodin, Harrison and Gaffney money, if any was received for him? DC let Telford slip through his fingers, who is scoring for Bury, albeit in a lower division. DC needs to start loaning out as soon as is possible and recruit a striker from the National league perhaps as he seems to have more success from there. The Prem teams young Players that we have taken on loan in recent times are simply not up to it when they have to face the physical demands of Div1.

I Dunno what it is with DC whether he has lost the ability to motivate or whatever but he isn't going to last much past Jan at this rate anyway. Some of his selections have been shocking and some of his signings really poor. He has a great long term record so far but that will count for nothing soon enough. We cannot get relegated that would put us back years. |

If that is the case then our owners will well and truly be revealed for the emperor's new clothes that they are. Lots will blame the owners but DC has already wasted 600k on strikers who don’t score. But that figure is over three windows. So average £200k per window. In that time he has sold around £1.2m of strikers in Bodin and Harrison. That doesn't even take into account Taylor. It ain't rocket science. Money guarantees nothing and bargains are possible, but if you KEEP skimping then eventually you're going to get poor quality. None of us know whether the decision not to give Darrell the budget he wants is right or not. It may be that it is for the good of the club or it may be that we have owners who are not interested in progressing the club. Whatever. The one certainty is that we will continue to flirt with relegation at best and probably end up in League 2 within a year or two at worst. |
