It wasnt this side though was it...that side had bogle,martin,Marriott and more in it. The miracle was that he did so little with it and was then party to dispensing with all of its best bits for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player for player this side should not be 24th. They are good enough to be clear of relegation. My point is that they have the quality but they’re not showing it. They are not putting in performances they are capable of and they need to really be asking difficult questions of themselves. 2 weeks of giggling in training and having the ‘shackles’ taken off saw little improvement. Believe me fella I aint slow to understand, I've been watching DCFC since 1966 over 1300 home games plus 100s away, Played, Managed and even Refereed the game. What was it when Forest went down from the Prem..."too good to go down" guess what, They were relegated, If these players have the "QUALITY" but not showing it...why...is the question, You can take a horse to water, But you can't make it drink, These quality players need to show their quality, Until then it will be more of the same.

In the final third Holmes was poor, lost the ball often. Waghorn couldn't...etc and Lawrence again made wrong decisions. Totally agree are people watching a different game ?? I thought Rooney played well today and still looks class but yes he's 35!! give him a break ffs....most teams in the championship would like Rooney in there team....we just don't have any cutting edge up front.....put a Dwight Gayle or another 25 goal a season striker in our side and we win games more than we lose...we didn't play badly today at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thought Wisdom was pretty good today. Solid defensively for most of it and played some good forward passes as well. Defence as a whole really apart from a couple of terrible mistakes were alright. I'd still rather only play one defensive mid even if Rooney did just roam wherever he wanted. Bird had a pretty solid game though - good to see him back. Holmes was awful today - everything broke down with him - don't know if its just lack of playing time, but would have played Sibley from the start. Lawrence infuriating as always thinking he is Zlatan. Also have no idea why he put in such a dangerous sliding tackle when the opposition weren't going anywhere. Waghorn alright, but is better on the wing. Fingers crossed this is also the last time we waste Knight on the wing. I know we have to butcher the lineup to fit Rooney in somewhere, but i really wish we wouldn't. Thought Whittaker looked promising when he came on as well, but again don't know why we waited until the very end of the game to make any meaningful subs. Better than the last few games, but doesn't really matter if we play like that in the final third every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 48 minutes ago, i-Ram said: We might have have had an awful season to date, but we weren’t awful today. We controlled much of the game, but had insufficient quality again in the final third. Deserved a draw in my opinion. Rooney/Rosenior taking pelters even though a good number of our players today were away last week on international duty. No real chance as yet to get everyone together, to significantly change our approach. I thought however we did try to mix it up today a bit more than of late, but regrettably Waghorn, Lawrence and Holmes all had poor games. Good to see Bird back, looked quality I thought. Your posts recently have not gone unnoticed. Superb point there you have made. Not one even I had stopped to consider until now. I do feel there is a strong dislike for Rooney to be given a chance, so strong it would need to be a drastic change on the pitch for hands to go up and say, yeah maybe this could be alright. There were small things today, but as you say, Jozwiak, Lawrence, Knight, Sibley, Buchanan, Marshall have all been away whilst this all went down. Probably had a couple of days at most with these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIllyD Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Anag Ram said: Yes. I think for many seasons we have had players who are mentally weak. The management team were guilty of not bringing JHI on earlier but players should know that they need to get themselves in the box when we are attacking and that you get goal side of your man when defending. Once again today we were 'lucky' that Marshall's poor control wasn't seized upon and that Wisdom 's obstruction of his man to prevent his poor back pass being reached wasn't seen. Buchanan was great for an hour today, then awful for half an hour. That's part of his development. He is a great prospect. Our biggest problem remains that we have a team of midfielders and inside forwards. Everyone wants to play pretty football and no one puts their hand up as a goalscorer. It's 'after you Claude' every week. The balance is wrong because we try to shoehorn Lawrence in and our midfield doesn't carry any kind of goal threat. Jozwiak, Waghorn and JHI up front next week. So we aren't allowed to be unlucky but we are allowed to be lucky ? I don't argue that we are missing a goal scorer, I don't see that being JHI, I think bringing him in will not help, personal opinion based upon seeing him play. Lawernce for me is the only one that will have a shot, take him out and you lose that, Id bring in Joziwak for Knight, he isn't a winger and although has bags of energy for me is behind Bird in quality on the ball. For me though today wasn't that bad, we deserved a draw at a minimum and I'd take playing like we did over the way Bristol did every day of the week. And yes I know they came away with the three points.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
