really feel as bad as at the end of the Mansfield game last May ...such an opportunity missed ..just needed to keep them out for a few mins Puddy needs to be dropped and Mildy re instated The Mildy who let a the ball go between his legs against Eastleigh? Or the Mildy who punched one in his own net at Dartford, or the Mildy who was so slow getting down at Halifax the ball had hit the net before he had hit the ground |

Never said it was. You just seem to have enjoyed the moment. As if you wanted Clarke to fail. Clarke already has failed, he got us relegated, remember? Any half decent manager, with that defence and with the resources at his disposal would have had this pitiful division won weeks ago. Why don't you just go back to the gate as I seriously believe that you are a Ted, although an intelligent one, rare I know |

His first point is factually correct and his second point is his opinion which he is entitled to. |

It just seems, at crucial times, we fail to impose ourselves in away games, despite looking all conquering at home the previous week with different tactics. I would have hoped dc might have learnt from the Macclesfield game, but today suggests otherwise.
i was not at that match or today's but reports on here sound very similar...would that be fair comment?

Barnet must be more gutted than us, they could have won the league today and enjoyed next week. I disagree. They were looking over shoulders us winning and them being in second place with us "only" having a face a bottom placed club next week. They are now in pole position with Gateshead already on the beach by the looks of it. I think it is out of our hands and Barnet's to lose. A real pity. FGR are in better form than Barnet yet Gateshead still scored twice against them today. I have some hope that they might hold Barnet to a draw. |

We got relegated with that defence and we don't have the same personnel now either |

[/quote] I didn't feel the need to add a pun The fact remains that our keepers have made a couple of key mistakes each over the course of the season and are being made scapegoats While certain members of the squad are first names on the team sheet and deemed undroppable in spite of dropping us easily 12 points, probably around 15-18 if you look back over the season! If we fail to go up, it will be(just like last season) the forwards, not the Goalkeepers and Defence that let us down |

I like that DC seems to have built a team of players who have the same attitude. What I dislike is the ineffectual players and mentality that don't exhibit the confidence of champions.
We haven't done as well as we could have as the team has been too impotent up top. Taylor, Blissett, Brunt, Cunnington!! - to win the league you need strikers that put the ball in the net. It's disappointing that Clarke has only just realized we had that striker all season but questions should be asked as to why he was so blind to that fact.

Why don't you just go back to the gate as I seriously believe that you are a Ted, although an intelligent one, rare I know I agree with Bamber, ( apart from the bit about him being intelligent ). Clarke is a loser. He did what was necessary to get us relegated last season, and he`ll do what is necessary to keep us down this season. His tactics yesterday, cost us the three points. First half, we played 4 3 3, but it might as well have been 4 0 6; our midfield scarcely touched the ball. The ball simply whooshed over their heads, at roughly the same height as the international space station. It was a complete waste of 45 minutes. Second half was a bit better, but to my way of thinking, we still looked a disjointed mess. Both teams were very poor, and when we scored I was more surprised than anything. We then had Balanta on, and Matty Taylor, ( who could have got us a crucial second goal ) was stuck out on the right wing. It was tactics worthy of John Ward at his worst. In the end, we didn`t deserve more than a draw. If anybody thinks that Clarke is capable of getting us out of this division, they only have to look at Nathan Blisset. Part time defenders take the ball off him, as easily as an adult takes a dummy off a baby. An appalling buy. And yet Clarke persists with him. Realistically, it looks like we`re going to be up against F G in the playoffs. I hope I`m wrong, but I can`t see us getting the better of them over two legs. We threw away a great chance yesterday. |

I just signed in to make the same points as you have,especially about the hoof ball over the midfield !,terrible game we had no width and we looked disorganised,exactly the same as our first away game at Barnet IMO.
I only go to away games,and its largely for the day out,to see old mates,see a new ground and to try to support the club in bad times,the games are usually forgettable rubbish,we did have a nice meal and I will eat there again when we play at Dover next season...the good news for me is that I have always wanted to go to Barrow and it looks as if that's on.

I have to agree with you on that one. He just doesn't fill you with confidence when you watch him play. Mildly has made some errors as well mind but I would I bring him back for the final game? I wouldn't like to say. It depends whether Puddys confidence is shot after today. What I'm saying is, when he dropped Puddy he had done nothing to deserve it, why do you think DC dropped Mildenhall ? Agreed he didn't it was just the fact that the no.1,keeper was fit again. Mildenhall was dropped because he done the same as Puddys done yesterday...howlers. Anywhere else on the pitch and mistakes can be rectified and glossed over, in the six yard box and more importantly on the goal line there is no allowance for that. As yesterday proved. unfortunate for Puddy and it will be interesting to see if he can pick himself up for Alfreton, or will Clarke bring back Mildenhall? |

On paper yesterday's line up with the 3 strikers on the pitch looked like a positive attacking formation to beat up what is a solid Dover defence, what actually happen was the complete opposite, now a point is a point, if we had played with width and lost whilst Barnet got a point that would have been more disappointing. So chin up fellas, karma is due a visit to the men on the last day of the season, make sure you all bring your voices and let's hope we put to bed this nightmare!

All this nonsense about Goalkeepers! Mildenhall and Puddy have made about 4 crucial mistakes over the course of the WHOLE season, and they are getting pelters!Look at it logically it's Matty Taylor and Nathan Blisset(Who cost more than this entire squad), who should be getting the brunt of it! And thats pretty much my point, a keeper makes one mistake in a game and there is no escaping it |

And probably why Mildenhall will be back for Alfreton I think you will agree though there seems to be on here a mentality that you always play your "best players" when in reality a player is only as good as his last game. |

Sticking Taylor out on the left wing, stranded, was a positive? By passing the, perhaps, most creative player midfielder in the conference by hoofing it to a young striker who stood alone and hardly ever held the ball, and inevitably gave it up. This left the Dover defence able to crowd out our in form striker who hardly ever had a pass to him into space or to his feet. That was positive? No, it was a tactical shambles....instigated by the manager....and not for the first time, is it. |

You have to put players in key positions and the best players are mostly those who can concentrate for 96mins, not necessarily the most skilful but those who make the least mistakes. Nothing can change yesterday's result so onwards to Saturday! UTG

You seem to back Clarke in setting them up to make the least mistakes, that is not to lose. We certainly didnt do that, and we through away our chance to go up as champions. Be happy, you got what you wanted. |
