    I don't think there are any savvy buyers out there willing to offer DCFC £4m for any one player. Not with our well documented fragile finances.

    Superb example of a professional footballer. Stearman is precisely the sort of character you need in the dressing room. Doesn’t spit his dummy out when younger players get selected over him; instead puts the work in to help them progress. Brilliant guy.

    It's baffling that Stearman hasn't been selected for the World Cup - a puzzle even more surprising when you look at the defenders who are going. I mean... there are actually some people who believe England will win the tournament with McGuire and Coady in the back line!!!
     Anyway, England's loss is Derby County's gain. We should be glad that he remains available to us. It's a major relief to see that Warne now has the confidence, belief and footballing knowledge to play the great man in cup games and even bring him on late in league games.

    Yes, while Mel was playing roulette with the clubs finances, the situation was exacerbated by the dire recruitment. Perfect storm scenario....

    Yes I think so. There were times when there were complaints of bland football during Nigel's tenure, but on reflection, when you consider what he had to deal with (the mess left by Paul Jewell and the constraints during the rebuild), NC did a sterling job.

    Mcgoldrick has got to be up there, I know it was Torquay but I thought he played so well last night, MOM for me.  Hardworking, decent passing and running with the ball.  Just a quality footballer.

    Nigel did a terrific job. When he took over we were in grave danger of plummeting through several trap doors. He laid the deep foundations that saw us through and turned us around. He built the Academy. It took him 6 years of very hard graft in all. Let’s not forget this. We owe him big time and let’s face it, the Club dumped him rather unceremoniously. His assembled team/squad were then very competitive for several seasons afterwards & but for Madam Football/Lady Luck would’ve gone to the Prem under Mac. 
     
    Credit where credit is due.

    I think we are a long way off 'perfect performances', so are the majority of clubs in the football pyramid. For now I welcome positive results and performances which reflect steady progress.

    I agree. First half I thought he was terrible then he got better--words at half time?  Trouble is I'm not sure what his best position is and we play him all over the place  so no wonder he seems a bit adrift at times. I've never been a huge fan of his but he needs a fair crack of the whip!
