Dcl is quite possibly the worst footballer I have ever seen in my life and I mean that. I am gobsmacked he is starting. Absolute disgraceful waste of money. Namecheck did more with the ball in his 5 min cameo.
Good we won. Just. 3 vital points.
Very poor performance and tactics against rubbish opponents.
Far too wasteful with the ball.
Nearly ballsed it all up. I was never comfortable we would win.
Pluses. Rodon again and ba.
If we are going to sit back and invite pressure make sure we have speed to chase long balls. Ie James.
Can't grumble too much. A win is a win. Ish.

I can't agree, Aus. He isn't a prolific goal scorer, but he is great at winning the long balls with his bonce and is enough of a threat to always be marked or double marked.
He draws in defenders leaving Bogle, Aaronson, okafor and GG to assault the box.
It would be nice if he scored more but as daft as it sounds, his talent isn't with scoring, it's more being a complete menace to defenders, which gets us goals.

You enjoyed the match then Aus ? Can't see quite how it was a poor performance and tactics, we were positive and controlled the game, went two up, maybe took the pedal off the gas a bit after. Second half was always going to be different without Okafor and Gudmundsson.
We got too negative but still looked pretty resilient and solid, Perri was rarely troubled, thought he had a great game too. There is much more to DCLs game than scoring Aus, his work rate is amazing and he creates space for others. Happy with the points and the performance.

DCL brings a lot to the team - not all about goals.

Nope. Not taking opinions on dcl. My mind is set.
Agree oks and gabby a big loss second half and playing without a striker always going to be a problem. Just think we sat back and asked for trouble.
Subs too late too.
But as I said. A win is a win. Regardless of how we played.
We gave the ball away numerous times and left gaps at the back too often. Any team above us would have got at least a point.

Not taking opinions on DCL?
OK. here's a fact for you to take: you're wrong.
Job done. Carry on.
Very good point re Perri, Vid! Thought he looked solid, and commanding. No chance with their excellent goal. Darlow deserved his opportunities, and did fairly well, but Perri looks much more capable.

If you can't see the value in DCL (yes we'd like him to add goals too of course) then I'd say you don't understand the game that much Aus!
The space he creates for others through intelligent running is excellent.
The way he wins and holds up the ball creates so many opportunities for the breaking players.
But it's all about opinions and you are very welcome to yours, if we all agreed this site would be boring.

Fact. 1 goal in 9. Fact. Crap.
What planet you on bright.

Chances created, Aus? Chances missed by others from Chances he's created, Aus?
Aerial duals won, effective take ons, free kicks won, completed passes, ground covered.?
All also facts / factual data points if you wanna widen your perspective before diving feet first into inaccurate assessments and conclusions.
