Re: Clutching at Straws.
Us signing Dagenham players would not have been such an issue if Still’s managerial and coaching expertise had improved them collectively. Instead, he made them perform less than their individual abilities.

The team has clearly missed Charlee Adams since his injury, he's ex D&R. Andre Boucard has been injured for much of the season, quite possibly he's not back to being the player we signed.

I saw him in a PSF when he didn’t. I also saw John Jensen play for Arsenal.barnet34 wrote:4 goals in 364 games suggests he always plays that way.Hiveoccupier wrote:Boucard looks fit and has the touch of a good player.

They lost their best players when the financial problems hit. We signed their squad players.becbee wrote:At the time we signed them, posters on here said how D&R were doing ok / well last season until the financial implications hit them, so how we'd signed players who'd been part of a good team.

Re: Clutching at Straws.
And D.C. has worked with them and therefore should be able to get the best out of them unless he knows they're a lost cause....it's not like he's come in and inherited players he doesn't know, not blaming him before people jump on me.#Beebot wrote:They lost their best players when the financial problems hit.

Re: Clutching at Straws.
The interview with him for the Harrogate game sees him mention that he is trying, but having difficulty, in bringing in some new players. He doesn't mention what those problems were however.pgbee wrote:And D.C. has worked with them and therefore should be able to get the best out of them unless he knows they're a lost cause....it's not like he's come in and inherited players he doesn't know, not blaming him before people jump on me.#Beebot wrote:They lost their best players when the financial problems hit.

Re: Clutching at Straws.
Missing Charlie Adams shows how rubbish our midfield is. He was pretty useless all season and marginally improved under DC. I'm hopeful he will be moved on in the summer along with all the other summer recruits. Exception of Boucard who looks decent.
Re: Clutching at Straws.
The midfield is fine IMO, it's the lack of a physical presence up top and poor back line that is giving us problems.
Re: Clutching at Straws.
Our midfield sorely lacks Jack Taylor in there. Now that Boucaud and Harry are fit, we have the central defensive players to support the back line. Right now we have no creativity in the centre. Apart from Fonguck, who is contributing goals from midfield?
Santos could make the difference in the back line when he's fit. For me it's up front where we still lack that target forward. Harrison has not even filled one of Akinde's boots.

Barnet showing all the flair of Rupert-the-Bears trousers, but lots more style!

Re creativity I can only assume Shomotun has done something behind the scenes to completely ostracise himself for him to have not made a single match day squad this season.ninestein wrote:Our midfield sorely lacks Jack Taylor in there.

probably deserves 1 last shot at it especially as he hasn't had a go at this level.#Beebot wrote:Re creativity I can only assume Shomotun has done something behind the scenes to completely ostracise himself for him to have not made a single match day squad this season.ninestein wrote:Our midfield sorely lacks Jack Taylor in there.

Re: Clutching at Straws.
You are correct that we really miss Jack Taylor &,as I have said elsewhere,we need Santos back in defence - height,power & pace!ninestein wrote:Our midfield sorely lacks Jack Taylor in there.

I love Luisma & really miss his skils!
Re: Clutching at Straws.
Fair comment. However it seems a bit late now, I suspect the decision to release him at the end of this season was taken some time ago.jerroll wrote:probably deserves 1 last shot at it especially as he hasn't had a go at this level.#Beebot wrote:Re creativity I can only assume Shomotun has done something behind the scenes to completely ostracise himself for him to have not made a single match day squad this season.ninestein wrote:Our midfield sorely lacks Jack Taylor in there.
