Great post, thanks @Lowerman2.

DCFC's days as a top flight club are gone, but our rich history and the clubs heritage is built on those glorious days when we were up there competing the best in England and Europe. 

 

Makes you remember how unsuccessful clubs like Tottenham are 

Looking at Italian Football not much has changed in terms of corruption 

it does make you wonder what is occurring in the English game nowadays with so many foreign owners and dodgy characters owning clubs and the finances at stake ( VAR officials at Wembley play off championship final makes you wonder)

I haven’t called out the subs .

I am asking the question are the substitutions too late in games when a reaction is needed .

Warne is the manager and is his own man .

I don’t think Hourihane  was happy at being substituted and was playing well .

Tactically were Warnes substitutions right on the day .

 

 

 

 

Does it matter who are the subs and how many are used - this season they have made very little positive impact in my opinion. Yes a few times but not many in the league.

try to think of many games in terms of scoring goals and creating them - Port Vale away - Dobbin, Barkhauzen scored a goal at Accrington, off the top of my hat I can’t remember any others having an impact.

I doubt Birmingham could afford him anyway and I mean his wages ( which they are not paying the full amount currently) they received substantial funds by improper means this season to finance different things and face any kind of sanction the EFL feel would be warranted - the EFL don’t seem to like Birmingham in the same vein that they wanted to do in DCFC 

Depends who makes these lists up doesn’t it? 
Maybe it’s a few agents who do these things🤔

Only been there 6 months, had one transfer window. 

Chris Wood and Jonjo Shelvey, yeah I can understand it 😂

Probably wasn’t doing anything anyway as the owners son has signed that barrel load of mis matched players 

He’s just stating the obvious- let’s wait and see what happens 

I can’t wait to have a manager who isn’t working with what’s in the building and is able to able to recruit sensibly to what makes us better rather than putting X1 players out on the pitch.

Forest v Forest and they still lost! 😄

They didn’t actually shoot at each other just threatened that they might - anyway the owner has folks who makes people disappear like all those witnesses in the match fixing case against hi.

We probably had more shots today than you've had away from home all season 😂

4 away games to try and beat a record that even the 'worst team in history' don't hold...

Hold on a minute - it’s probably more shots than they have had at Home never mind away from home 🤔

Wildsmith - nothing to do bar pick the ball out of the net 

Rooney - ok but again up the pitch too much when 3 at the back 

Cashin - tying to do too much 

Roberts - did well but again too far up the pitch when 3 at the back 

Smith - played well - no idea why he was subbed off 

Hourihane - tried but not his day 

knight - again caught waiting for contact in the box rather than taking a decent chance to shoot

mendiz Lang - did some things excellently and some things badly but still our main creative player like it or not 

Barkhauzen - shame his shot didn’t go in when he hit the post otherwise a average game 

McGoldrick - tries his best 

Collins - blindingly obvious that he is better with a partner up front - came close a couple of times to scoring 

subs - I didn’t see them improve on the starting X1 

We should have slaughtered them today - we didn’t because we didn’t score enough goals from loads of chances 

but - our defending was shocking and desperate far to often - even at 1-0 we get 3 points and we most certainly should have at least won that game 1-0 

Always changes at Easter - I expect Barkhauzen to start and probably for Sibley - I would probably risk starting mendiz as it’s usually the first 60 minutes or bust from him anyway. I don’t expect Chester to start two games in three days so Forsyth will probably start again - I would keep two scrappers in central midfield = Smith and Knight but that probably won’t happen 

DCFC 4-1 MK Dons frgs mendiz

Probably not fighting each other.  The ones kicking off will be the glory hunters who were never there when there were plenty of empty pink seats during the last 20 years.  Now that the penny has dropped that they wasted £200m, and European football is not on the agenda, they are are quite annoyed….

Their wage bill for next season is going to be horrendous 

I’d take him again on loan either in the championship or league one as he is only going to get better and if it was a possibility i would definitely sign him permanently.

A fun bank holiday had by all it appears

I wondered why their attendances were higher this season - it’s all the players and family and friends getting free tickets so that must add 500 every week

Always thought Bournemouth far too big to go down ahead of Forest and Fester....

Proper club....🤣

Out all 3 of them who cheated to get to the premiership I don’t care what happens to Bournemouth but the other two can have it

Only 5 away goals this season… we scored 8 during ‘that’ season. Will that be beaten?!

Well we invested £10-11 million and managed those glorious 8 goals so for notts 5 goals from £200 odd million is respectable especially as most of those goals will be actually from a player they already had 

McGoldrick NML Forsyth then Wildsmith in that order 

McGoldrick - uses his quality 

NML - created most of any excitement this season 

Forsyth - for holding us together 

Wildsmith - coming in and doing a decent job in a position that needed it

young player has to be Cashin because he has kept his place and done ok but maybe that was because he is young ! 

A game we need to win and yes it would also be nice to play well and score lots of goals 

We needed the win and both our forwards got a goal each so that’s positive whilst Forest Green are possibly the worst professional football side I have ever watched live - need to win Monday and need to score goals goals goals 

Peterborough 2-0 up at Shrewsbury which actually gives them advantage over us on goal difference rather than goals scored - we basically need to put our chances in the net pretty quickly

Our corners are poor again. Not reaching any of our players

We have been rubbish with them for years and years and in fairness Warne’s record with them is excellent so it must be that our players are not very good at them in terms of delivery and desire
