Players not good enough on todays showing

[Chris Black come back]

Our budget this season top 8.

We are not on rations.

[essexrover]

Pointless post really as players shouldn’t be judged on just today’s showing.

Quite. A squad is not judged on one game. Though I agree that Kongolo certainly & the ones out on loan can go.

[dickos1]

Our budget this season top 8.

We are not on rations.

We were signing top league one players on massive wages, were not doing anything like that now.
No matter what distain you have for Ferguson you can acknowledge that

[Chris Black come back]

I have expressed no view on Ferguson in this thread.

What you have is objective fact.

We are not on rations and have a good, solid budget, which is top 8.

Whether Ferguson is to blame, or the players, a combination of both, of the famed Gypsy's Curse somehow following us from Belle Vue, is irrelevant to this.

[RoversAlias]

Where's the proof we have a top 8 budget again? I genuinely can't remember where that's come from.

Comparing to our worst season under Dickov is rubbish because now we're coming up from a lower league, then we were on the way down and still recovering from the mess that was the experiment.

[DonnyOsmond]

McCullough has shown numerous times he's a good player and anyone who judges players on just one game is a retard.

Today he gave fringe players a chance to prove themselves for next season and they didn't. You can't berate him for testing out the fringe players when were 99% safe.

[dickos1]

You wouldn’t have made the post you did if you hadn’t a problem with Ferguson.
Nowhere have I suggested we’re on rations, just simply stated we are not dining at the same table as we were then.
Also fact

[Cantley Rover]

Can someone point out where this top 8 budget has been published?

[Alan Southstand]

It isn't and it never will be!

If we have a top 8 budget, I will be extremely surprised. However, we are going to need it this summer. We are nowhere near a strong enough squad. Clear out?

[DonnyOsmond]

Our budget two year ago was top 8. It isn't now.

[dickos1]

I agree

But even if it was, it’s not set in stone that you’ll do well,
Look at chesterfield, look at bury, look at Accrington, look at Shrewsbury

No they can’t, not in the public domain.

Sorry Dickos you could be right but you can’t say fact because it’s not published in the public domain.

So it's a figment of someone's imagination is it?

No but he relys someone knowing but it’s not available for everyone to see.

What’s not??
We were signing players like hayter, o Connor, wellens, roberts,

We’re now signing youngsters!

This is in the public domain

So who is this HE who knows what the budget is and also every other clubs budget?

[steve@dcfd]

But the facts we can see is the players in our midfield whatever they are paid have been a let down this season and are the weakest part of the team. We need either them to improve or we need to bring in better with what ever budget we have.

Typing error he.

Might be the case but we were discussing the relative budgets of when we were pushing for promotion out of this league and what we have now.

It’s obviously miles apart

You have no idea what my motovation was to make that post. You have made up my motivation.

I did not claim you said we were on rations. This is something you have made up.

Weird that, a manager known for taking a punt on younger players to flog for big bucks signing young players that can be developed to probably sell on at a profit, eh...

[Donnywolf]

Most Teams try to keep a stable Team and really hate it when Players get injured or suspended which disrupts them.

We seem not to bother with such things as that and disrupt our own Team with changes (for whatever reason the Manager decides) which has exactly the same effect

True it was a poor draw against Bury in the end but we did set off like a house on fire until the own goal so why not stick with the vast majority of that side ?

[drfchound]

The tinker man.

[Donnyjim]

Alcock, Blair, Kongolo, and May, need to find better than these

Add, 'can't cross the ball' Mason to this list

[roversdude]

Not judging on just one game - in my opinion McCullough is not good enough for a starting role either at CB or midfield

[BillyStubbsTears]

McCullough has shown numerous times he's a good player and anyone who judges players on just one game is a retard.

Today he gave fringe players a chance to prove themselves for next season and they didn't. You can't berate him for testing out the fringe players when were 99% safe.

Agreed about judging a player on one game, but we saw a lot of McCullough’s weaknesses as a midfield player today. He mis-controlled several simple balls. One of them, leading to the break from which they scored, was dreadful. He misplaced several simple passes. Yes he gives us some physical presence in that position and that helps, but if you’re a profligate with possession as he was today, you’re putting the team at a major disadvantage.

Why is it weird?
So you’re saying if he had the money that Penney and sod had he’d still be signing youngsters with no experience of this level?
I’m pretty sure he’d be signing experienced top notch league one players just as Penney and sod did

[elmsallrover]

I sit behind the dugouts and fergie was about to sub roddy before he went down injured or not

[the vicar]

May had a good game today not his fault nothing came from midfield they was crap
