davenportram Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 We lost 2-0 to second placed team. We had a poor first half Second half we created 9 chances and hit the woodwork 5 times. Against the meanest defence in the league. Their keeper made two blinding saves just after half time at 1-0. Then the defence go to sleep and concede - radios words haven't seen it so might not be true. We created enough chances to get something out of it. Didn't crumble or retreat back into our shell like we did in similar games last season. We will win and draw more than we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 why 30? Cos leicteser went down on 51 points once! generally 48 or 49 is good enough. 41 will take you down, which is our 21 points tally + 20 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question really needs to be asked now why we are getting this amount of injuries, every club get's injuries yes but under Clough's tenure we have had a ridiculous amount.

Leeds Ram Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I agree 100% with the Lack of investment showing. That much is obvious. The board have a hell of a lot to answer for and have gotten away with it thanks to Clough and Co's ability to cope in adversity. Should not be this way. Losing to Boro is today was no shock, but our squad is now decimated by injuries and its time for immediate action to try and put a stop on our inevitable collapse in form. Without Shackell, and the others out, we are no match for any team in this league at present. how many teams have spent 2.8 million this season?

Day Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 By the way before I get banned (Dav 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons//laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />) I'm not Clough bashing, I just don't believe we should be blaming a lack of investment. Some of the money he has had could of been spent better and his team selections are mind boggling, then again I'am a thicko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 how many teams have spent 2.8 million this season? $2.8mill on a team that finished 19th last season, can you really expect the playoffs? Especially as $1mill of that $2.8mill was spent signing up the loan players made from last season in Robinson, Fielding and Ward. Mid-table we are.. mid-table isn't bad given that our team is hardly brilliant.. Though NC doesn't make things easy for himself, leaving out our creative players and playing for draws will get you battling side, not so much a winning side. Wait until next season, we'll be top 10 next season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not expecting the playoffs, but people blame lack of investment without fully realising that actually we have spent a decent bit of money this season and last season we had a little bit as well. You can't blame a lack of investment if the board are giving nigel almost 3 million to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame a lack of investment if the board are giving nigel almost 3 million to spend. The board haven't invested $3mill.. That $3mill NC has saved by selling off Hulse, Commons, Moxey, Varney etc.. plus the wages saved from them 4 plus Porter, Savage, Pringle etc.. Not to mention income through ST sales etc.. The club haven't given NC $3mill to spend through their own pocket.. NC was allowed to spend this money as he has generated this money.. The same goes for any other club.. Reading sold Long for $6mill and they've been allowed to re-invest that money by signing Leigeterwood permanantly, Le Fondre, Gorkks etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing half time stats to full time stats on the BBC they had 8 or 9 chances the same as us. Just because they have chances doesn't mean we crumbled. If we had we wouldn't have created as many as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Buxton, Anderson, Riggott, Bailey, Tyson Probably a tad harsh but so is blaming it on a lack of investment, we have 10 defenders on the books and 8 strikers. How many Championship clubs have that many? About time Clough took some of the blame for wasting money. 10 defenders and 8 strikers, yet of that 18, you only name 5 of them as injury prone. What about the Barkers and Brayfords and Shackells and Robertseseses and Maguires and so on who were signed with abnormally insignificant injury histories? In an ideal world we'd have more money, and in an ideal world we'd have a lot less players out injured and in an ideal world Clough may not have signed one or two players that he has done. The lack of investment for me is what's hurting us. Sure, a lot of clubs don't have as many first-team players as us, but most clubs have more first-team players available than we do. I doubt there's a club in our league, or maybe even the football league, who have an injury list like ours. And the first thing any club does when their squad is stretched is dip in to the emergency loan market. We seem unable to do that, despite the fact we clearly need another right-back and another centre half. And another midfielder. And probably another striker.
