    Arsene Titman reacted to Jourdan in Paul Warne   
    Warne and the players have 11-14 games to get things right. Clowes will be concerned about back to back losses but ultimately he will assess the situation at the end of the season when we know what division we’ll be in, so really so should we as a fanbase.
    It’s not going to be helpful to do it any sooner. It’s crunch time. We all need to be pulling in the same direction, not getting the knives out after every less than perfect result. People talk about the club being short termist, yet where the manager’s future is concerned, many of our fans are the same.
    Clearly Warne and the players are feeling the pressure, and need our support to get the job done. Instead, if last night is anything to go by, the players and the manager will be dragged over the coals. 
    People believe we have the best squad in the division and should be achieving more, but it doesn’t really add up. This is a League 1 group of players with the kind of limitations that are rampant at this level. Players don’t make the mistakes ours do and switch off in the way ours do with the same regularity in the Championship and above. 
    Portsmouth have set the pace and led the way since early on and look fully deserving of promotion. We need to step up and show we deserve it too. If we don’t, Barnsley, Bolton and Peterborough will definitely oblige.
    Last night was a worry but we have to believe while it’s still possible.

    I fear there is too much expectation on Dejaune Brown.  Some people appear to be expecting him to walk into the side and play at a level he has never been near to before.
    Yes, he’s a prospect, but when we’re looking at a very raw player, we have to nurture him and that is why sending him out on loan to Gateshead is beneficial for him in the longer term.
    If he was up to the level that we’re looking at, I would expect him to have had more time on our bench, and the fact that he got 13 mins off the bench on Saturday means he’s still got some development to go.

    Arsene Titman reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in Lee Gregory (again)   
    Sorry mate I would disagree here.
    Forsyth was our only left back on the books in the summer. He signed a one year deal and most agreed he would have been a good squad player to have. We then signed Elder, who pretty much we all agreed on that it was a really good signing. 28 years old, won league one previously, had 10 assists from left back. Unfortunately for him he was injured in pre season and missed most of it. Missing pre season is massive for any player as they are playing catch up.
    How do we know that he wouldn't get infront of Forsyth of he'd been fit and firing all season? We don't. He's clearly plenty good enough.
    His other signings.
    Wilson - Has potential to be really good. 
    Bradley - Everyone was absolutely buzzing when we signed him. Didn't start great. Made a couple of mistakes (which is all you need to do in our fans cases before we write someone off) and he's unfortunate that Cashin and Nelson have been so good. We probably signed him expecting Cashin to go.
    Fornah - Definitely has potential. Still young. Hardly any experience. But there's definitely a player in there. Sometimes to laid back but he'll learn.
    Washington - A player Warne trusts. Just starting to see glimpses (the go against Northampton) of what he could do at this level, getting up to speed. Then he's injured on international duty.
    Ward - Obviously with 352 in mind. But now he just looks like he's surplus to requirements. I might be wrong. But I just don't see him getting a game or even on the bench soon.
    Waghorn - Steady played. No world beater. Cheap, convenient and will still contribute when he's back fit.
    Nyambe - Brilliant signing. Really good defender. 
    Vickers - A keeper. Not really don't anything wrong.
    TJJ - Massive risk we felt we could take. Obviously looked at his ability and thought we couldn't get much better if we can get him fit. It's not worked out. 
    Embleton - Can barely judge this. He did his thigh taking a corner in training.
    Some signings don't work out as you hope. It's the way it goes. 
    But we don't seem to give anyone a chance before we want them gone or say they are s****. I've seen some having a go at CBT already after playing 80 minutes of football for us.
    I've just seen Brighton are letting Dahoud go. A midfielder they signed from Dortmund in the summer. Clearly not worked out it happens.
    We're a league one club, with hardly any money, working to restrictions. We can only do what we can do.

    In the summer we had one left back on the books in Forsyth and not a single right back or right wing back?
    And you're sat there saying Ward and Elder weren't needed? Of course they were.
    Elder has been unfortunate with injuries but I'm convinced there's a player there, just needs a run of games.
    It's only in hindsight now we have Nyambe and Wilson in that Ward isn't needed.

    Arsene Titman reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in Derby v Cheltenham Town - Match Day Thread   
    Honestly some of our fans are genuinely awful. The sense of entitlement some of them have is absolutely staggering.
    Yesterday was all about winning. The performance didn't matter. We're absolutely littered with injuries. Booking them off at half time? Who's that helping?
    Cheering the captain when he's subbed off? 
    It's absolutely ridiculous it really is.
    Now I'm seeing "Blackett-Taylor hadn't really shown anything yet" he's been here 5 minutes, trained with us twice. I despair I really do.
    All I hear is "we aren't good enough, Peterborough are better than us, Bolton are better than us" 
    Says who? Of course Peterborough were brilliant when they came here. But that was the same Peterborough side we put 4 past on their own ground? Bolton also just scraped past Cheltenham, Bolton lost at Leyton Orient. 
    Oxford fans watching us that second half at their ground would have thought we were the best team in the league, we were outstanding.
    You cannot play well every week.

    Arsene Titman reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in Corey Blackett-Taylor - Signed on Loan/Permanent in Summer   
    Spot on mate. You won't find a consistent winger in league one and if you find one in the championship they are likely to get snapped up.
    We are a league one side. Who honestly do people honestly expect us to sign? I can't fathom it.
    These are the same people who didn't want us to sign Jordan "currently the top scorer in league one" Rhodes.
    We're a league one side, with a league one budget. Some of our fans need to realise that.

    Arsene Titman reacted to nogbad van 50 in Eiran Cashin   
    I do respect everyone's right to an opinion but I do feel that comparison is a tad OTT! If I was picking my all time Derby side ,having followed them since 1964, then my three central defenders would be Todd,Stimac and McFarland.I like Cashin's determination but Todd was light years ahead of him.However,each to their own.

    Arsene Titman reacted to Teesste in B4 - for ever a Ram 🐏   
    Boro fan here, donning hard hat and coming in peace. 
    Been an occasional stalker on this board (ever since all the unpleasantness!) but felt compelled to register today after seeing this sad news.
    B4 was a poster I saw popping up on almost every thread that appeared on here and his passion for his football team was so clear with every word he typed. Fans with this level of devotion are few and far between and should be treasured by clubs and other fans alike. I'm sure he will leave a huge hole behind for everyone who knew him. Sending condolences to all friends, family and fellow DCFC supporters for your loss. 
    All the best, Steve (not that one!)

    Right. 
     
    I've got to ask.
     
    WHO THE FRICK TELLS OR ALLOWS COLLINS TO DRIFT OUT WIDE!?
    Collins.. you are not a winger.. you don't have pace.. you don't have technique.. just do what you're supposed to do, stay central and be a striker, if that's what you are! Because that last cross was absolutely painful and ruined a perfectly good opportunity.

    Yes Bramcote, for all he may have got the wrong choice with Warne and some may harp back to Rosenoir being given more time; despite not liking what I’m seeing, I do understand why he went for a guy that’s had 3 promotion! 
     
    Unfortunately it not working, but those with short memories should remember what David Clowes did for this club, when others were doing nothing.
