Wasn’t at the game today, but based on the result and our team selection here goes!

If we were a squad lacking in depth, today has once and for all confirmed that. Again, a centre-half light yet Dowse last week said he delayed bringing one in until Monday. Who and where the hell is this centre-half!!!!?

Goalkeeper? No disrespect to Tom, but surely Dan would/should have played today even lacking in games since injury. Oh, and shoot me for stepping on this band-wagon again, but Dan Roberts!!!!? Why the hell is he out on loan - should be playing regularly, as a no.10, in behind Charlie.

Christ, we’ve got 2 days before another big, tough away league fixture. Let’s get this sorted before the wheels start to fall off!

Only two things worth a mention today.........

The steak slice was nice and had a chat with their Chairman who was a decent bloke.

Very well aware of that BN, but had he not been put out on loan he wouldn’t have been!

Friendly welcome and they took their goals well. We receive £1,000 for losing, which the club should be embarrassed to collect. Not much else worth saying.

You’ve completely missed my point. Had Dan not been put out on loan, I would have (my opinion) played Dan today, whether Joe was injured or not. Btw, I’m not a big fan of putting players out on loan full stop! Dan’s kept himself sharp and has got himself fit since recovering from injury.

Grassbank wrote: Sat Nov 19, 2022 6:06 pm 5th, you have a short memory. At least we had somebody who usually plays in goal on the pitch today. I seem to recall a Trophy game when we took to the field without one. We lost that day as well.

The last time we were embarrassed in a cup competition by a team from leagues below us, we bounced back with a ten-match unbeaten run.

You have to try to find the positives!
Just because it happened once Grassbank doesn’t mean it’s going to happen again. As some fans that went today have said, todays game was even worse than last weeks.
You may also have a short memory because It was also the case that not so long ago after we had been on a great run in the league we then lost in a cup game against a lower league team and we went onto a very poor run of results. Oh and that manager had also just won manager of the month as well the same as Dowse has just done for October, may be the curse has struck again.

Don’t get me wrong I really hope that history doesn’t repeat itself and these last 2 results have given all of the team a major kick up the arse and I hope they can turn it around and put pressure on the top 2. I want our team to do well & succeed.

I like Dowse, I’m pleased he is angry and I’ve no problem with him calling out players in fact I’m all for it.
I wasn’t there but would have been nice if while criticising the players he acknowledged the supporters who invest huge amounts of time and money to be served up with this performance.

I don’t think I missed him saying it

That’s the problem with interviews straight after the game. Having exchanged pleasantries with Dowse many times recently I have absolutely no doubt that he and the club appreciate the time, money and commitment it’s fans invest.

Agree with you mate, just after results/performances like this, and they do happen, they should be acknowledging it straight away.

Maybe I’m just being over sensitive and people aren’t too bothered, I wasn’t there but I’ve been to most shockers we’ve had.

I think the Board should divvy up the prize money for those fans who travelled. (I didn’t. Sadly, I ‘saw’ it coming.)

Seriously, it’s done. We move on but it can’t continue and we need to strengthen in ALL areas. See you all when we bring the Concord down!

Hi Dean, thank you for pointing out that Oxford C lost to lower opposition, but at least they took them to penalties. Maybe City fielded a weaker side in view of the fact that they were playing the mighty Darts Tuesday.
Maybe someone had better point out that City also play in Blue and white hoops. Just don't want the lads thinking they are still playing SS.
Having just viewed the first four minutes of the game I say good luck to Swindon Supermarine in the Trophy, but they'll not get an easier game than yesterdays. :D
Once again bloody awful defending, seemingly worse than last week.

For the first time ever watching a Darts team play I did not know how to react when the players came to applaud the supporters.....in the past I have always clapped them for their efforts win, lose or draw.

I'm with you on this one, always feel like interviews shouldn't happen straight after the game when emotions are high. Dowse isn't stupid he know exactly what he needs to sort but he's not going to be able to explain all of that in a 5 minute interview.

Dowse is a great manager and has had a start to this season nobody saw coming. Now is the time to get those signings hes been talking about through the door to ensure we don't drop off.
