DC always plays for 3 points,its his way and I like him for being an attacking manager like Bill Dodgin or Bobby Campbell. Attack by all means suicide never.when ollie clarke went of we lost our shape and to my mind despite how well Moore did on Tuesday he was not the player for replacement it should have been James clarke either to full back and Partington in ollie position or to sit in front of the back 4.likewise when Ellis and Liam were replaced one of the replacements should have been a defender.he was inviting Wimbledon to attack and they did from the time he made the substitutions and I said to a friend this is all going to end in tears One other point to make is if DC has ambitions to manage at a higher level then decisions he made today will not convinced any chairman to take a chance on him.sorry to deflate a few with high opinions of dc but those are the facts of football life.chairmen want first of all winners but if they cant win a game then they want managers who know how not to lose.unfortunately losing over 50% of league games this season won't fit comfortably with chairmen looking for a new manager. I expect this post to be vilified and the usual budget quotes to be raised but that doesn't wash with football chairmen |

Let’s just save Steve K the trouble of a match report and agree that is one of the worst games of football we’ve had the misfortune of witnessing. Both sides, start to finish, back to front, abysmal. Just give every one of our lads a 3/10 by default as they deserve f**k all for today’s ‘efforts’. Roll on Scunnie  |

Pretty much all the comments made by people who were at the game about quality, tactics and substitutions are pretty much spot-on.
So I won't bother to repeat them!

That is 0-0 then with Nicholls on. Hope I am wrong of course! [ Sorry dc you got it wrong with the subs.we were comfortably holding a point then you go gung.ho.weaken midfield and add nothing up front.we got what the managers decision deserved bugger all. There are times to go for it and times to settle for a point and today was the latter Wasn’t there but seems totally bizarre to take off arguably our best players. Bringing on Gaffers is ok but surely it has to be time to forget Nichols ? He bring nothing to any game I have seen him in. |

The Nichols thing has gone too far, it's good the support a player through a rough spell, but we are 3/4 of the way through the season and he's scored 1 goal, and that was because he couldn't be bothered to get into the right position, a defender didn't realise he was there, passed the ball to him and he had a tap in. Bringing him on reduces us to 9 effective outfield players. This is a tough division, you won't get away with carrying dead weight like that. On the train. Terrible performance against a terrible team Who took 6 points from us |

Taking off Sercs & Ellis was the correct decision, as it would have been if any one else had left the pitch. We didn’t deserve anything today. So folk pretty much wasting their time by attacking the tactics/subs made etc...it was two abysmal sides where the real winner was the full time whistle. |

One lapse from the wide man and they struck. Defence didn’t need ‘beefing up’ at all. |

I can understand a players form changing from from month to month or even season to season but it always baffles me how some of our players form can vary wildly from game to game. Surely that has to be down to a players motivation and/or mindset. Maybe DC needs to take a psychology degree to fix our erratic performances.  |

We had no midfield they were just going straight through us.outside of the back 4 who did we have on the field for the last 10 minutes or so to protect the back 4. No one so why not bring on clarke to beef it up or as an extreme move instead of nicholls put sweeney up front at least he would win something in the air |

As I saw it from beamback..
Hmmmmm.
We are where we are.
We don't deserve promotion.
We don't deserve relegation.
We are where we dreamed to be in 2014, moving on and forwards on and off the pitch with sophistication and professionalism.
Ok lost in last minute.
Many times we've won in last minute.
It could've gone either way.
We ain't going anywhere this season, so lets enjoy the ride..
Lovely place to be (because many would swap with us) but lets try for play offs at least..

Attack by all means suicide never.when ollie clarke went of we lost our shape and to my mind despite how well Moore did on Tuesday he was not the player for replacement it should have been James clarke either to full back and Partington in ollie position or to sit in front of the back 4.likewise when Ellis and Liam were replaced one of the replacements should have been a defender.he was inviting Wimbledon to attack and they did from the time he made the substitutions and I said to a friend this is all going to end in tears One other point to make is if DC has ambitions to manage at a higher level then decisions he made today will not convinced any chairman to take a chance on him.sorry to deflate a few with high opinions of dc but those are the facts of football life.chairmen want first of all winners but if they cant win a game then they want managers who know how not to lose.unfortunately losing over 50% of league games this season won't fit comfortably with chairmen looking for a new manager. I expect this post to be vilified and the usual budget quotes to be raised but that doesn't wash with football chairmen Ah,yes,those great experts on the game,football club chairman. Wasn't it the great Len Shackleton who in his book left a page blank when discussing their knowledge of the game? |

They pay the bills don't have to be knowledgeable about the intricacies of the game the same as most fans.only interested in results you can sneer at them all you like but without them there would be no football teams |

It was a suggestion based on the fact that any one would have been more effective than nicholls and might have caused the opposition a few problems |

The football was awful, our fans were silent. A dreadful day made worse by the fact twelve blokes from our village down here in Surrey coughed up £60 to do the corporate package in the expectation that they'd see a decent game and a good atmosphere. All I've had on the train home is crap about how lightweight we were and how poor our backing was, and I couldn't disagree. Most of the criticism was aimed at Moore and Bennett, justifiably so. At least when Gaffney came on he looked bothered. I thought Partington did well, Lockyer looked solid, Lines gave it a go and Sincs was Sincs, but apart from that forget it.
