Seth's left foot Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We have a mongrel squad on pedigree wages, SM needs the rest of this season and the summer to get us back in line with his philosophy. It will only be something like a crisis if we don't go up next season and FFP starts to rear its ugly head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate. They've cancelled the next series of Geordie Shore and the streets of full of wailing, shirtless, hairy-arsed men crying like newborns. Shocking scenes mate!

BondJovi Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We have a very poorly balanced squad. Would Anya, Vydra, Weimann, Blackman, Camara have added anything different today? There is no crisis but there is a lot of work to do and judging by what McClaren said post match he knows this yet unlike many he isn't putting any deluded expectations on this season.

First ten games of the season =9 pts Last ten Games =9 pts Awful performances in some of the first ten games of the season and awful performances in some of the last ten games...... Nothing much has really changed. Fans really need to get a grip, we are still a mid table team and nothing more........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 No crisis, but the decision to get rid of McClaren, Clement and Pearson in a short space of time has come home to roost. The playing staff are not in great nick. Questionable attitude over the last two years, imbalanced squad, and player for player too many are underachieving for whatever reason. It may depend on what the owner's attitude is to transfers in the summer. If he allows McClaren to spend then we should be ok but we could end up with an even bigger squad, and McClaren has already said it is too big. If he says no money until we sell, then it might be difficult to shift some high earners so hard to say what shape we will be in. The recruitment team have their work cut out in both ins and outs.

He's a good player at this level and one of the players I would keep and I think he will link up well with Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryDaly Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 McClaren hasn't got it. When are some DCFC fans gonna realise this ??

We have some very expensive outlays that will probably never have a firm role at the club and are on big wages and unlikely to be able to recoup fees paid. Does that impair us next season?. Who would you keep?. Are we back in same situation with McLaren, no Plan B, Plan A not working. I never wanted him back despite the fact he has given us our best football in recent times. Do any fans blame Morris for this shambles?. No we are not in crisis. Always playing catch up after the dreadful start. I am quite hopeful for next season.

Ramarena Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 2 hours ago, Parsnip said: No we're not in a ******* crisis. New manager came in and sent us on an astounding run to get us out of trouble. To get us in to the playoffs this season would've meant that run continuing without any dip in form - which predictably was a little too much to ask. A dip in form is normal especially with injuries and an imbalanced squad but for us any dip this season was bound to derail our unlikely challenge and it looks to have knocked our morale. **** it. Anything was a bonus this season. Let the man work ffs and look forward to next season. Exactly this. To make the play-offs Mac would to have delivered pretty much auto promotion form after taking over from Pearson. We were always going to hit a slump at some point, given the fragmented make up of the squad. Make no mistake Mac has made a few mistakes recently, he shouldn't have tinkered as much as he did around the FA cup games, this disrupted our momentum. I also would like him to sort this ******* stupid system we have taken on for corners. That aside he's done pretty well with the situation he's inherited. I don't blame him for not spending much in Jan, I think he was right to keep his powder dry. He needed to see how the players dealt with the remainder of the season, this squad needs pruning this summer, no doubt about it, he then needs to bring in several quality players during the summer, only then can people really start to judge him.
