This season

[since-1969]

Strengthen it in Jan and kick on for a top 6 finish

Forget promotion... it’s nit happening. Too many plates spinning
1) Poor overall depth in squad .
2) Injuries and discipline taking hold .
3) too many players out of contract
4) WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY to do solve everything!!!!

Solution ride out rest of season with choice loans and start afresh in the summer!

We've just lost a mickey mouse trophy match playing a second string team with plenty of youngsters getting some game time and you chose to bring this up now?

Our form has dipped without doubt however confidence can be gained as well as lost. A sledgehammer to crack a nut may not be the right approach.

Today’s game is irrelevant really I think the obvious point is, the squad isn’t strong enough

[Michael Shaw]

I don't agree that this game is now irrelevant just because we lost it. Had we beaten Chorley and Notts County we would have all said we are getting back on target and team is regaining confidence. Anyone not disappointed with 6 games without a win has no ambition.

I'm starting to think you want us to have no money.

[Michael Shaw]

I suspect when McCann arrived at the Keepmoat he told the board what they wanted to hear in that he could build a promotion winning squad largely using the existing team. He told the players that they were as good as any in this league, with no-one to fear, and psychologically boosted the squad. That’s all ok as long as we keep winning. But a few successive losses soon knocks the wheels off the wagon as players struggle to cope with losses  after believing they are the best. Wins from the cups could have promoted confidence, that has all gone wrong. I think we need a major shake-up at Christmas or we will end up with another season with a top 6 or 7 budget and ending up in about 15th again. If that happens the board can’t consider they are getting value for money from the manager or players.

That’s just my opinion, but it is hard to feel optimistic based on the current form and I can’t see what McCann can do with the existing squad.

The club said there will be monies available to invest in Jan, so I don't know what you are talking about or which club.

The form of every club has dips no matter which club you are.

Some fans panic just setting in and that panic at the ground from the fans the players will feel.

Get back to a win and we will be back on the promotion party.

Guaranteed that no team will have ever got promoted by constantly being negative about their chances and that will be fans included.

[Michael Shaw]

I can’t fault McCann for trying to motivate the players. I like the 4-3-3 formation and he does not keep changing formations, or move players into the wrong positions, which were last year’s issues. I don’t feel any subs he brings on makes a lot of difference. I just feel he is short of options right now.
My views are calm and unemotional  and far from panic setting in.

[karlos]

Things will be ok in January or the summer or next January then the following summer. Same old story some people are just happy to go along with what ever the club is telling them!

[RedJ]

Some people just happy to assume the club has any reason to actually lie to them and create conspiracies.

[karlos]

Every club lied to a extent!

[RedJ]

Have they though or did you make that up to try and add weight to your argument?

[karlos]

Lol redj you really are brainwashed

[RedJ]

Brainwashed just because I don't believe there's a massive conspiracy to lie to the supporters from the club? f**k me where can I get one of your tinfoil hats from?

Tinfoil? You're living in a fantasy world. The club will only pay out for cling film.

[dickos1]

It’s pointless arguing about it, we’re told We have money to spend in jan. So let’s see what McCann does with it

If they tell us anything different we will be getting lied to so what do you want them to say lol.

How much longer is this ‘5 year plan’ to go??? Not too long in my reckoning..   how much further are we????

1. Absolutely nowhere near a championship club, the board made the appointments and the transfer kitty across the board as been nothing like to get a championship club, same old story every year and nothing to back it up... the proof is there... theve spent peanuts on bringing people in.. ok there’s the odd decent freebie along with signing on fees etc, but even these get over looked my theory is the clubs reluctance to pay agents.

2 the dons were involved in the ‘5 year plan’ where are they??? In the worst league possible with worse crowds than when they entered the joint ownership with Club Doncaster and there certainly nowhere near a championship or was mentioned a super league club!!!

All in all the board are happy to carry on doing nothing, and until it’s put to them what’s happened??? Nothing will change...

Presumably you put all this to them at the Meet the Owners event, rather than just sit on your hands and keep quiet?

[ravenrover]

Has St Caths opened the doors this week?

Doors? You're living in a fantasy world. The club will only pay out for flyscreens.

[karlos]

[raggytash]

Worse thing is some of you can’t reply with a decent answer because I’m right..
