Everything DCFC / Re: What? Watford? At home?
« Last post by HantsRamReturns on January 20, 2025, 02:56:57 pm »With the news on Nelson (see other thread) the team is getting weaker rather than stronger.
Need a manager who can make a team greater than the sum of its parts.
And that doesn't seem to be Warne.

Just described as a "significant knee ligament injury" by the club.
At least we may have time to find an emergency loan or something.
Bad luck for Curtis.

Neither did they get there by setting up to their base style of play to be attritional set piece football.
Money has to go alongside ambition, and vice versa.

Wilson Cashin Fozzy Elder
With only Ward and Rooney as cover.
We now need to bring a CB in, ideally one who could play DCM too.
This is starting to look ominous.

« Last post by The Heartbroke Kid on January 18, 2025, 02:33:00 pm »It was as predictable as my opinion on it will be.
Could and maybe should have scored to make it 1-0 but didn't, and let in a terrible goal because all composure and calm thinking has been coached out of us.
One note, desperate football nearly got us an equaliser but we hit the bar twice and then the post - unlucky perhaps but the first is a snapshot from a cross and harder to keep under control, the second an overhead kick and the third fell to a player who has no business being the furthest forward midfielder.
The desperate play left us ridiculously open defensively - as Warne's tactics always do when we need to get back into a game - so Watford had myriad good chances to break on us and ultimately we let in another terrible goal from our own terrible free kick.
We're back to the point where the only reasons anyone can come up with to continue Warne's employment are financial, the fear of the unknown and blind hope that returning players and new signings bail him out.
That said, for reasons completely beyond my comprehension there are still actually fans out there who won't have a bad word said about him, blame his every deficiency on the budget, go so far as to claim he's the best manager we've had since Jim Smith and that he's very good tactically, which is a right laugh.
