I take this back, according to stats Cambridge have a bigger pitch than us ?? so yes a back 3 with wide players making wing backs I'm guessing will be what we'll play , probably unchanged

The pitch is or appears quite narrow and not sure we will have much space to go wide , might even suit a back 4 and an extra body in CM to ensure we are solid through the middle

Got to play like we need a win…. go for it ….then if it ends up a draw that would be fine ….we will beat Carlisle last game to seal it in front of a full house let’s be honest we are a much better side than Cambridge but there pitch is quite tight so not sure wing backs will be so effective

Carlisle will practically be on there hols when we play them , the Cambridge away is massive and for some reason I don't think we need to win it as long as we don't lose because 4 points would put us on 90 Bolton would have to win there last 3 to overtake us and I don't think they will But obviously....lets go and win at Cambridge , but its a tight little pitch not a lot of width and just hope we get off to a good start and an early goal , my Charlton mates said Cambridge were quite poor today and Charlton had lots of chances but just didn't take them

Think I'm right in saying he was £60,000 from Gillingham

seen Mel a few times near where I live and played in a 5 a side with him he's still decent .....drives a taxi now , very quiet is Mel but spoke fondly of his time at Derby

I think he's been really good for a few games now....👏 a better player than a lot of us maybe realised

Cambridge away now MASSIVE!!! and its a small tight pitch we need a win but only if Bolton don't drop points before last game I would go for the win but would a draw and home win to carlisle be enough ?

Apologies my Pompey mate text me game over and it was a joke delighted at 1-1

2 wins and we are there!!!!!!

Bolton 2-1 not really 1-1 😃

It’s all Bolton though if they win I think they’ll beat posh

It’s all Bolton this next 5 mins plus added time is so critical to where we finish

Posh 0-4

A draw won’t be end of the world but if Bolton win there only difficult game is last game against Posh who maybe resting players 😟

Bolton 1-1

tactics, shape etc are very important and play a massive part not many managers set up exactly the same every game

I like Warne as a person I've mentioned this many times but I still want to see a change at end of season We need to be seeking out a young coach with bright ideas , we should as a club be looking constantly because long term Warne isn't the answer Hearing how Alonso has transformed Leverkusen with his ideas and passion with players who are not big names is amazing considering he'd only ever managed a youth side and a B side in Spain yet Leverkusen saw something in Alonso, all good coaches and managers start somewhere why not at DCFC ? There are also plenty of failures I know that but with our CAT1 academy wouldn't it be great foresight to try and get a young coach in with bright ideas who's going to embrace the academy and have a long term project playing some decent football Nothing against Warne but if we go up I'd like someone who will spend what funds we have prudently and build something sustainable here using the academy as well

Good points but I think we'll be lucky to keep Adams if we are in L1 Personally I'd rather we tried a different coach who's going to use our younger players more ...if ready of course the squad needs major overhaul to me and not sure i want Warne to be conducting that

he didn't need a touch he literally just needed to steer the ball in with one touch even with your less favoured foot I'd expect that to hit the open goal which is was really it was a very easy opportunity and i thought a good ball from Washington, no excuses about taking a touch it was a poor execution like he took his eye off of the ball

why try and disguise the fact it wasn't good enough last night even Warne didn't seem happy It was not great and nothing to learn from pretending it was anything different , the problem is its not a stand alone performance we missed 2 good chances but Wycombe could've scored 2 themselves , one where Wildsmith made a good save and the other more fortuitous chance that fell to there player in our area and he shot over but I didn't think wycombe were that bad they look like they're trying to change there style of play to me and thought they had a couple of decent players Zero shots on target is never good no matter what and this is a worry ..... Orient have looked like a good footballing side whenever I've watched them but we must win all 3 now and believe we can hope he keeps faith with Smith but another CM to make 3 i think will help, hope Bradley isn't brought back in tbh ...if Gayle could get himself fit I think he would be a very big boost for us

1Wildsmith 6 made an important save in second half and was brave with the calamitous back pass in last min 2Wilson 5 flattered to deceive a bit last night 35Nelson 6 had a tough game against a strong forward 6Cashin 6.5 had a reasonably good game 17Sibley 5 needs to look after the ball more some of his passing was aimless 11Méndez-Laing 6 poor game for his standards 12Smith 7 some good passing and think was one of our better players 16Thompson 6 looked lively when came on but didn't have much time to get more thn a 6 32Adams 7 solid dependable and covered at the back also puts his head where some wouldn't 27Blackett-Taylor 5 poor display and should have scored 4Hourihane 5 no real impact on game Smith was doing well 14Washington 6.5 works hard and set up CBT but should've done better with his chance 7Barkhuizen 5 no real impact and didn't get into the game 9Collins 6 worked tirelessly but had little impact up front where we need him 10Waghorn 5.5 not enough time really to impact the game but won a good header from NML cross

IF we do not go up this season do we think Warne ( who i like as a person ) should stay ? If we don't make it this season I'd like someone else to be given a chance next season

FWIW I thought Wycombe actually tried to play and were not as industrial as we've seen them under Ainsworth, played some neat football at times and could've won. That miss from CBT was really quite poor, we now move on to the O's who whenever I've seen them this season have played some nice football so won't be easy, we need PP rocking on Saturday I still think 3 wins will get us over the line

What makes me laugh sometimes is that …yes the players get pelters for not playing well but at what stage do we think the manager might also be to blame because Warne is not blameless it’s his players team and formations I just want to see the end of this season and want to see better football with more direction
