Most managers can organise a side, but it's getting a goal scoring striker that's the difficult bit. DC would be ok back here with JCH and GC would be poor without him imo.

Yes, but DC watered 200k plus on Payne and GC got JCH for nothing AND, before you say anything else, both managers had Widdrington at the club.

Yes good point but it doesn't always work out with strikers, luck or judgement I don't know. I was just making the point that if it does work out it makes a huge difference to a manager's career.

Yep and it appears he doesn’t have the answer to turn it around, its ok blaming budget and training ground etc but I believe Walsall have pretty good facilities so that’s another excuse off the list....I really hope he succeeds I do fear for him though You almost sound genuine but not quite. I am quite genuine I hope he does go on a run, he hasn’t for a while though and that’s why I worry for him. No need to take offence with anyone who dares say something bad about DC though, like most lower league managers he has strong and weak points that are perfectly acceptable to point out. As stated I’ll be eternally grateful for what he achieved here but at the same time 7 league wins since feb 2018 isn’t a good record

I've said this before many times....Sir Alex Fergie, who was a pretty decent manager, once said that a top top manager would be happy with a 65% success rate in the transfer market.

Don’t forget that he didn’t spend 200k on Payne and GC didn’t get JCH for nothing. Can a post be anymore incorrect? Wonder where the DC bashing boys are tonight? It astonishes me how anyone has the cheek to bash DC so much after what he did for us. DC honestly gets bashed on here more than Atkins, Graydon & McGhee did - what a shambles our fan base is at times

D.C. got a lot more tactics and game plans and know how than our current leader. Gc is a 1 trick pony. Never changes anything during a game. Like for like substitutions, and the worst football seen since the Graydon /Atkins era’s. Statues from throw ins.

Like for like substitutions, and the worst football seen since the Graydon /Atkins era’s. Statues from throw ins. & still the best start for almost two decades. If this is poor, I cannot wait to see us firing when things are going brilliantly.

It’s like we can’t win no matter what, this is honestly really depressing

Collecting points is good to watch & also the name of the game. I enjoy walking out of the Mem/away ground gaining said points by hook or by crook. The only way this club is going to achieve anything with beautiful, freeflowing, dominating of teams every week, is to be back in the National league. In League One, it’s always going to be a battle and most of the time, that isn’t easy on the eye.

It astonishes me how anyone has the cheek to bash DC so much after what he did for us. DC honestly gets bashed on here more than Atkins, Graydon & McGhee did - what a shambles our fan base is at times Agreed. All those slagging DC off need to think back to that phone-in with Twentyman after we got relegated where he fronted up and took dog's abuse and promised us that he would build a squad that would run through walls and bring the pride back. Such is the world we live in with the politicians that we have these days that I can hardly remember anyone delivering on their promises in the way that DC did. Everything he promised, he delivered and more on top with a second promotion in as many years. It all went stale at the end and his recruitment post promotion to league one was shocking-- but surely nothing can detract from the respect he has earned with those two promotions. It beggars belief that people who would have been foaming at the mouth after that second promotion can now so casually rewrite history and dismiss what the man achieved for this club.

Hey up boys i come in peace, I know you've moved on from DC and stuff but i was hoping for a little advice. As a few have said we are looking shocking atm, i mean 1 goal in 10 hours of play, Set up very very defensive, playing players in odd positions, playing odd formations, never sticks with the same team, I just dont understand his ideas on it all and was hoping you boys could show me a bit more light on him. I mean hes come into a rotten club but hes got off to the worst start you could imagine and knowing you boys been thru this already i was wanted too ask your opinion on it all? Weve got boos after games and a few people saying he should go already, completely over the top but hey when you dont win these things happen, Cheers for any words, and good luck this season boys! All I can say is just get behind him. We started every season badly under him and you've had a lot of change during the summer. The stats didn't look that bad yesterday in your game. I seen a few of your fans underwhelmed with signing Gaffney, he's a good addition for you. I didn't want us to lose him in L1 as he was a good 2nd/3rd choice striker for us but Salford obviously offered more money than we were paying (rumour was £3k a week), he's hard working andhis biggest strength is running the channels and bringing others into play. SS and JC are good honest pros too. Sounds like you just need some quality to go with that hard work. I'm sure I speak for most Rovers fans in saying I hope he can turn it around and be successful with you. Boom SS scores! G'wan on Stuart and Darrell!
