Chris_Martin reacted to DCFC Kicks in Paul Warne
What if Wildsmith didn't make a worldie save against Bolton, or if their corner that hit the bar was a few inches lower?
If we played better we wouldn't need to rely on one Waghorn chance going in or not.

if we kept the ball better and had some form of control, we wouldnt need to run all the time...

Chris_Martin reacted to DCFC Kicks in Paul Warne
I’m not saying we’ve been bad. His approach is clearly working to a large extent. My point was there’s not distinct style or continuity to how we play which creates unpredictability to our performances. I think the teams we’ve battered have mostly been teams who try and play a distinct way or passing way every game, who don’t try and counter us e.g. Bristol Rovers. Warnes style is reactionary to the opposition.
i really don’t think it’s right to put the reason we lost yesterday all down to luck. Even Warne acknowledged we didn’t play well.
i also think you’re undervaluing the quality of our players. I don’t think any Northampton player would get in our squad except maybe Hoskins.
our difficulty signing players doesn’t affect how the manager sets the team up or his playing philosophy.

really?
but for some injuries, with our squad we could put out a B team that could still get in play offs
This doesn't even include players like Waghorn, Rooney, Washington, John-Jules, etc
Just because a player signs for a fee, doesn't automatically make them a better signing. A lot of our free signings have been amongst the best in the division these last 2 seasons. Mendez-Laing, Nelson, McGoldrick, etc. Not to mention all our academy players which also cost us nothing.

Its because there are no foundations. Warne just takes every game as it comes and tries to ground out a result by any means. It is working most of the time, but I'm never truly that shocked whenever we lose a game to anyone. It feels like Warne picks one-off tactics for each opponent and hopes they work, but occasionally they don't or the opponent works them out in-game and we lose. There's no longevity or continuity to anything he's implementing.

Chris_Martin reacted to DCFC Kicks in Anything positive going into The Blackpool match?
I think Blackpool is a good opponent for Warne. We struggle when we're expected to impose ourselves. When the opposition sets up to react to what we're doing, like yesterday, Warne doesn't really know what to do.

Chris_Martin reacted to Chester40 in Injurys/absences
So eg of our starting team today :
Cashin Nelson Forsyth
Adams Smith
Hourihane
Ward Wilson
Waghorn NML
And..injury-free we could send out a change 2nd XI of...
Niambe Bradley Rooney Elder
Bird Thompson
CBT Sibley
Barks Collins Gayle
With JJ, Fornah, Washington in neither team.
For League 1 that is very good is it not?

Chris_Martin reacted to DCFC Kicks in v Wigan (H) Match Thread
If it wasn't Chris Martin, and you just looked at the data, you'd say he was one of the best available out there in terms of free agents. If he's dropping down to L1 anyway, why not? We lack his sort of intelligence up top. He would have buried that chance Collins had early on.

At this level I'd be okay with a youngster from the U21s, names forgotten. We won't look so turgid across the back line we'll be able to move the ball more quickly too.

Well to be fair last week shouldn’t have gone to your heads because you were largely outplayed. If anything it should have been at best a point but fair enough you got the winner whilst Wanderers missed their chances. That should have sent warning signals to the players not celebrations. At this time of the season you can only expect the unexpected, just like today. There’s a lot of ups and downs to go yet as nerves start to kick in but certainly today’s unexpected defeat opens the door to second spot again. It’s going to be a very interesting month now and that 4 point cushion isn’t anything like the 7 it could have been but you still do have a cushion and it’s still in your own hands so the players just have to keep their nerve and deliver.
