We had a vital decision go against us too. I too am concerned about where the first win is coming from, but some of you already have us back in League 2. If you think yesterday was a poor game - why were the team applauded off by the vast majority of the crowd at the end of both halves?
It is obvious to anyone that we need a striker who can find the net, but surely we should be looking for the positives after a much improved performance, not getting ready for a trip to League 2!
Sorry Steve, no offence meant, but I think you (and others) are trying to cover up the cracks with another piece of cheap wallpaper. Yeah, it was a slightly better performance but there was still a considerable lack of pace, energy & urgency. No matter how much improved a performance is (an yesterday's wasn't
that much better) if you can't score after that many chances have been created then you're in big trouble.
I just can't see where there are going to be 4 worse teams than us this season. If we can't see off a very poor Vale team then the writing is on the wall. Unfortunately I don't think DD has got the skills needed to turn us around. The very poor team building, that has got us into this mess, should give some evidence towards this.
Onto the match itself. I thought Wrack had a very disappointing game, was he ill or something? Fox, on the other hand, had one of his more impressive performances. For the whole of last season DD has continued to play Fox constantly even though he was often terrible. For once he plays well and get's subbed :shock: :?
