For all DC gets slated on here for his slide at the end. It just goes to show what a great job he did with us. Taylor, Bodin, Ellis and Lockyer all left for Championship clubs but all bar Bodin (who can't get anywhere near Preston's team) are back in the same league as us. DC we love you ❤️.

Whilst I agree DC was a fantastic manager I think some of those players were or are capable of playing in the championship. They're generally just unfortunate that their stint hasn't worked out.
Ellis is back at the right level I'd say. I wouldn't be surprised to see TL back in the championship. BB is a championship grade player but has been unfortunate with injuries. Matty would probably have been better off sticking with us and waiting for a different opportunity in the summer, might get another chance. I'd have him back.

Very good point. Also lockyer and Ellis only lasting one season..
Getting slated in the Charlton's player ratings too
Phillips: 5 - Should/Could he have done better on any shots. Can't score highly when you concede 4.
Lockyer: 4 - His long balls are sh**e.
Pearce: 4 - Surprised he didn't get booked, he always has intent to foul.

DC will never get slated by me for his endeavours, that 15/16 team was one of my favourite Rovers sides ever.
What I would say is I never thought any of them were particularly Championship players anyway with the exception of Bodin. All are good enough to form part of a playoff chasing league one team though.

I wonder what DC will be thinking about Wael getting his act together?

I wonder what DC will be thinking about Wael getting his act together? Probably thinking he could have given Bennett and even longer contract |

Most managers end up leaving clubs with perceived failure. Over his whole time managing us, he was a huge success. Let's not forget that. |

The narrative that the club have got their act together since he left is wide of the mark when it comes to transfers, he had plenty of cash given to him once we were in league one and he squandered a lot of it. |

Got their act together in the sense that more of the players signed now are successes than compared to players signed in the DC era + being debt free and building new training ground, not got their act together in the sense of bigger budgets to spend. |

I presumed "getting our act together" was about the training ground? And DC may have wasted a lot on dross, but he generated more incoming transfer fees than he spent. |

Just because they have gone on to be a success does not mean that it was wrong for him to have made the decisions he made at the time. |
