NOT GOOD ENOUGH MR FERGUSON

[Ian Nimmo]

Sorry Darren but today was just not good enough and if that is the best you can deliver to us, then I believe it is time for you to consider your position at DRFC

Your team selection (positions) was simply awful, Tommy Roe at left back, was you on the red wine last night?

You continue to instruct the player to start playing from the left or right corner of the pitch, not just today but every game. It just doesn't work and it appears everyone can see this apart from you.

I hate to post and say this but if you continue in this vein, i fear the worst and L2 is looming

The one positive from today, although he made some poor passes, Luke looked very strong particularly considering how long he has been out.
Well done Luke you have obviously put a lot of work in to get back, good luck for rest of season

[The Red Baron]

I think we'll have enough to stay up if only because the quality of players we have is better than two years ago. And at least we're drawing games instead of losing, like we were two years ago.

However, I think the Board need to be asking themselves some serious questions. Is Fergie really the man to take us forward? If our aim is to get in the Championship I'm far from convinced. He seems unable to get the best out of some talented players and the football we play is frequently tedious in the extreme.

Another happy customer

We are doomed.

It’s the equivalent of Man City playing De Bruyne at right back with Tommy Rowe

Tactics looked all at sea today and with some players not putting a proper shift in .

Bang on great analogy. I couldn’t agree more.

[donny dave]

Do you think we have improved on the dross that Dickov played.
I do not.

Why is it that people see a negative post when in reality it is an observation of what is happening.

[Park Rover]

Today we were shocking. No passion or fight in the first half. Fergie is constantly shouting instructions at the players they don’t know if they are coming or going. He plays them out of position which again causes confusion.
Were we any worse under Dickov ?I don’t think we were, we have not progressed whilst Ferguson has been here.

[watto-drfc]

This is why i dont go anymore. I wont go till he's gone

[Chris Black come back]

We have won two in ten and they were both last year. Although as others have highlighted, at least we are drawing rather than losing as we did the season Ferguson took us down, so that is progress of sorts.

I hope you don’t come back for a long time then - I support DRFC irrespective of who the manager is

I do not.

The football is pretty similar this season. I do prefer the team being filled with potential instead of OAPs though.

[Campsall rover]

Sorry don’t agree with that. You are either a supporter or you are not.
If you only go when you like the manager or when we are winning then that is not being a true supporter.
Of course before you come back at me, I will say of course that you are entitled to do what you wish.

Sorry above thread was in reply to Watto-DRFC

Agree with you Gloster but Ferguson is making a decent team look like a poor team.

I'm not Darren's biggest fan, but I support OUR team. As for boycotting games because he's the manager,absolute crap

Yes I notice most Managers point and shout and "direct" nearly every part of Play - be it free play or a dead ball kick

I have often said they ought to just give em a Magnetic Fooball game and let em get on with it

Good question! Very similar imo. We have a tendency to overplay it in key areas, just like we did under Paul. That said, give me 10 Darren Ferguson's over a Paul Dickov.

A point per game from here on in gets us to 53points, enough to see us safe

[drfchound]

Ferguson’s average then.
However to get to safety we will have to win some matches because we are bound to lose some as well

We are currently averaging 1.21 pts per game

Things are obviously on the up then.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Last 10 games we have played 2 away matches against sides in the top 4, three other games against sides in the top 9 (two of those away) and two matches against sides (Plymouth and Oldham) who were in the top 2 of the form table when we played them.

Our record in those 10 games is
W3 D6 L1 F16 A12 PPG 1.50

That’s just shy of play-off form in the hardest run of the season.

Do you think some of you are overdoing the negativity just a little bit?

[chrisd_123]

All I'd say is be careful what you wish for. Who would come in and make a long term difference?

also, you can manipulate any stats really. Yeah we've not won for a while and drawn a lot but also only 4 defeats in 22.

In the relegation season, a hell of a lot of the recent draws would have been games where we rolled over and lost.

It's very frustrating at the minute but it could also be a lot worse. Losing 3 centre halves and having to draft in 2 relative unknowns to the back line hasn't helped and is something that very rarely happens to teams. Yeah 1 or two injuries but not at the rate we had to the same position. Ifs and buts I know but Butler and Wright fit and we win today and a few of the other recent draws.

McCullough now has to come back in to sure up the midfield and hopefully Baudry and Butler will be back sooner than initially thought.

Call me a happy clapper or whatever but I'm still relatively positive. I'm not saying Fergie is god but think we could do a lot worse.

[Bentley Bullet]

To say we were rubbish today is not overdoing the negativity. We were rubbish,  and have been far too often this season.

Thank goodness our last ten games have been just shy of promotion form. if we were to get promoted I doubt we'd get a point in the Championship with this squad.

[chrisd_123]

To add to my last post, I'm not defending today. We were crap!

But the fact we've been crap but not rolling over is a positive sign. We'll get a win soon enough.

Yes we were rubbish today. Yes we were lucky to get a point. But the reaction here is a bit extreme.

You say we’ve been rubbish far too often. We’re comfortably on course for a mid-table finish. After a rocky first couple of months of the season, we’ve been chugging along in form that would be about equal to 10-12th spot over a season.

 Yeah, alright, that’s hardly show-stopping stuff, but it’s at least as good as I was expecting this season. Were you expecting us to rip up the division?

I was expecting what we are. Next year we will be in year 3 of 5 year plan. To progress we need better players, this is not down solely to the manager. He will need more financial backing. Last time we were in League 1 our financial spend was 4m. The teams that were promoted last season spent between 11 to 8m pounds according to the figures.
I not saying that DF could get a little more out the players we have but to say this squad is any where near a promotion side is ludicrous.
