I was there that day and we should have really lost 6-1. I am still annoyed by Charlton away on the weekend and I'm surprised DC pulled the same stunt again, look at our team less a year ago. m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35509898From then............ Mildly is better than Puddy Parkes any worse than Hartley defending? Bodin played that day at Pompey and Byron more was our best player on the Monday at Charlton. So a mirror image of the teams in both games, how did DC think the same set of players could then 11 months on beat a Division 1 side? Monday was the real first time I have questioned DC in a long time, all this talk of transfers, with the Colkett going back and Hartley now injured I believe we need 5 players in this window. One left back, need another centre half if not two. Only Taylor scores consistently up front and we need another central midfielder now as you can't really include Gosling and Lawrence. Having seen that team that took on Pompey, I am still shocked we went with that virtual same midfield again. |

I think what you are saying is that DC got it wrong but you are also too polite to say it as it really was.
The players left out tacitly confirmed they could have played. One even went as far as to shrug his shoulders and say 'that's how it is'. DC was right to have a pop at Locks, although it might have been better not to name him, we all knew who he meant. But DC is first and foremost to blame for what happened.

We're L1 Pompey L2,maybe the end justified the means.
We will replace the players leaving numbers wise,i just hope there improvements on what we have through the spine of the team.

There is the bigger picture to see, rather than the small one. Pompy was just one game of 46. Clarke can put out what ever side he wants to, if it justifies the ultimate sucsess at the end of the season. Remember the away draw at Stevenage? DC was attcked by most on here saying the draw cost us promotion blah blah blah . 2 weeks later we got promoted on goal difference, the draw got us promoted. The bigger picture!!! |

Yeah, it's a very selective OP. You may as well ask how can this manager who has brought this squad two promotions continue to manage in the same sort of manner that has brought him so much success? |

With ref to the OP mentioning Colkett going back .What the CC return to Chelsea may likely show is that Chelsea are aware that Rovers will be signing a FIRST choice
central midfield player.Its probably why Boateng moved on as well. Its just a guess but IF Rovers were to spend money [whether in transfer fee or high wages or both]
then that player will be expected to start most games. Meaning O Clark and Sinclair drop to the bench in a 442 ,Mansell and Lawrence sit in the stands most likely [/],so loan
players may just be looking to fight to get on the bench.
Could be completely wrong but to me the signs show a good midfielder about to become a new member of the squad.

Can anybody explain what all these negative posts regarding DC are supposed to achieve?
Are they expectingDC to make a public apology and vow never to rest players again during the festive games?
Perhaps even DC to tender his notice whilst accepting he's reached his managerial limit, so allowing us to get in a replacement, as we all know from past experiences that's an easy process.
Perhaps another reason which isn't clear to the rest of us?

Of course he should apologise...after all it was the same defence that played in the games and they did just fine...not like they got physically or mentally tired. They didn't at any point lose concentration or lack pace to allow attackers free shots and heads on goal. They didn't stretch their fitness too far over those games either ,if they had then they most likely would have picked up injuries and its not like any of the defence has got injured is it....erm....

So a sign of how a player exerts themselves is what injuries they pick up? In that case then Hartley being injured on Monday clearly proves DC was right to rest so many players.
I seriously think some fans have lost the plot over the festive season.

Hang on a minute Topper, isn't this a forum for debate? It's ok for the manager to hammer his players at Shrewsbury but we can't also question him?
Have I said sack him?
I'm a season ticket holder and have missed 3 away games all season and I support DC and will be at Walsall and Fleetwood as well.
It annoyed me after Christmas I handed over was it £23 to the Charlton ticket office and spend £60 in total to watch that suicide selection. I haven't just slagged him off, I've done some research and backed it up with last sssson Pompey game.

I was there that day and we got rolled over totally. I wasn't at the Charlton game so have only commented by what I have seen on the highlights and the radio commentary,and that was the goals came from shambolic,schoolboy defending. Again!
Take away those mistakes and those travelling would have come away from The Valley happy with the win if not the performance. The highlighting of the midfield may be justified to an extent but crucifying them and DC to me is beyond belief if you witnessed the defending first hand.
I genuinely don't 'get it'.
