Playing defensive when 3-2 up against 10 men wow. He has got to go.

Calm down every one! certainly more watchable than last seasons dire home defeat to Accy, every one assumes playing 10 men should be easy but it seldom is as many teams have found out, enforced changes def. had bearing on performance, onwards and upwards to a comfortable mid table finish!!GC will prevail in the end with all the helpful advice from this forum!!

Seems strange you say this as it’s a common excuse used when it happens to you for why you lost. |

Without 32s diving they wouldn't have equalised.

Funny how we all watch different games. Accrington were dire and we should have carved them a new backside within the first 30 minutes. We conceded two poor goals and then our backs were against the wall for the rest of the match.
We are better than this.
I don’t think you can necessarily blame Graham. You can see him frustrated at our defensive style of play. I think the players left over from the squad Darrell put together are incapable of following tactical instructions, and there’s a bit of a hangover going on.
A painful painful watch.

It's a point, we're 13th. How were we doing after 7 games last season? Better? Worse?

We missed Upson today as well. Ogogo was poor today without him.

A truly clueless, leaderless performance against ten men.
Take JCH`s goals out of the side, and we`d be relegation certainties.
I hope the cricket`s better.

Playing defensive when 3-2 up against 10 men wow. He has got to go. Wasn't playing defensive though??? We were just playing rubbish. We had 3 attacking player's on, plus Clarke and the full backs getting forward, when they could. Teams with ten and 9 men come back all the time. Did you want us to put 6 upfront or something?? Played better last week and lost. That's football. Missed Upson in the middle, he's been good lately and he gets other players into the game. |

On the more positive sides, without looking at the actual scores it looks like Southend and Bolton aren’t picking up any points, which leaves just one realistic slot for relegation available. And Wimbledon’s aren’t doing much better.

And know they know they can get away with diving for a penalty, look at the state of this f*cking cheats Disgusting. Shocking refereeing for the penalty and this should be a yellow as well That was a disgrace. Agree it should have been a yellow. |

And Wimbledon’s aren’t doing much better. Neither played today. Bolton signed a load of player's last week, so who knows how they will do now. Southend will now have a new manager, so could improve. |

I think the players left over from the squad Darrell put together are incapable of following tactical instructions, and there’s a bit of a hangover going on. A painful painful watch. I usually agree with most of your posts but the bold part I cannot agree with at all. Firstly, I'm not blaming GC for todays game so to speak, the defence had an off day, which is fair enough because they've been decent pretty much all season. However, just because you see he is frustrated doesn't mean it's not his fault so to speak. He sets them up, works with them every day. As a former defender and defensive coach, it's definitely his fault., as well as the players. I also don't understand the attack on DC's players here, out of the entire defence of Hare, Kilgour, Craig, Davies & Leahy - only Craig was signed by DC, he's also our sub captain btw, GC clearly loves him. If we're to look at a lack of following instructions, it's GC's players today. In fact, if you look at the entire starting 11, only Craig, Nichols & Rodman were DC signings. 3/11 but somehow DC still get's the blame? That is beyond pushing it & something I don't think even midlandgas would be saying tbh. |

So would hate to be compared to midland gas. I guess what I’m trying to say is this horrible defensive nervous style of play has been in effect for a number of seasons. We seem to lack composure and confidence, going back to possibly around the time when we lost Bodin. The players have largely changed, granted, the manager has changed, but we’ve still got the same problems. It’s lost a little on me. |

Haha apologies on comparing you to midlandgas - probably a bit extreme I agree with your point here, tbh I actually felt Lockyer was part of that as well, he was prone to the odd error. This season we do seem much better though. Today the defence had an off day IMO, it happens - hopefully it's a one off as overall Craig, Davies & Kilgour have been excellent |

What a dire performance today let's face it all we did in the second half was the long ball, we have no one in midfield to put their foot on the ball and dictate the play , their number 7 showed how it should be done, they played much better football than us, oh it's great fun being a Gas head, but let's be honest we need to do a lot better than this .
