[Walka003]

If we had decent options on the bench there could be 5 subs easy half time

By the looks of the BBC stats, we're getting hammered (and not in a good way!) Undermines DC's claim that we can compete  and not out if place at this level!

Let's ignore the league table shall we? What an idiotic comment.

2.0 very often a dodgy scoreline

Lets hope thats the case today

Even game… we should have been level then their 2nd looked offside.

a goal back and you never know

I wouldn't say we have been hammered at all, they were on top before their first goal. We then pushed them back and then they got that second one. This game is far from over, get one and I think these might start panicking a bit.

Losing 2-0. First goal was yet another blast from outside the box. Stones should have held or pushed out of danger but put it back directly to their attacker. Second goal looked well offside at the back post looking along the line from the corner flag.

We’ve not been hammered. Been a scrappy game <ovf censored> defending as usual from us to concede two and their keeper made a worldly. Get Dennis on 2nd half, we’re not out of this, these look bang average.

No fault for Forrester then? Who even though he had a handful of the wing man's shirt couldn't stop him getting away and finding a man in the penalty area?

Yes, but the space Taylor had was criminal. I would be amazed if that wasn't the easiest, most straightforward goal of his career.

Agree. Poor opening 10 mins but not hammered. Then got deservedly on top but then unfortunately conceded another pathetically weak goal. 

[valiant_593]

Nearly another long range goal. Midfield is trash. Forrester not playing well at all. 

[Sam Kelly's Left Boot]

These are dross.

These look like a side we should be more than capable of beating. I just feel Clarke is making too many changes every week. It might help to keep certain players that bit more fresh, but I genuinely think he has little idea what our strongest 11 actually is.

Next goal is massive in this game. We're not out of this.

Just pointing out that DC was maybe tempting providence? Down at 16th as it currently stands with the worst GD of the teams around us
