You have to wonder what the communications team who get paid by us, I think Slavin does, do to earn their money. A quick perusal of this place, iPloughlane or Twitter quite clearly showed that us fans wanted to know why Kaja was dropped, Forrester was moved to the wing and Trotter started. Instead Slavin asked about how good Cody MacDonald could be and fawned all over Neal telling him how well we played.

Hash - if you think this place is depressing then then don't, what ever you do, look at what our supporters are twitting on Twitter. Someone has set up a fake Sky Sports page which states we are linked with every plodding defensive midfielder in the country. The anger at Ardley is not limited to this place.

True to form we manage to stuff the upper end of the table on Tuesday and can't get a goal past the bottom of the table on Saturday. That just about sums up Wimbledon in one sentence.

What a disaster yesterday. Very poor use of our best players in the wrong positions again. Is anybody close enough (or brave enough) to ask Ardley why he did not keep the same team and formation as Tuesday ? I believe that we would have won with the same team and formation and lots on here agree with that. Perhaps it is time that Ardley does come on here and see the damage being done to the fans. I have always been taught in business that a good manager listens to those around him and not ignore them

And if we don't get past Lincoln in the FA Cup, you can put me in the 'Ardley out' camp as well. Drop at least two of the wardrobes and play Hartigan and Egan. At least they'd give a shit.

It’s perhaps pertinent that a number of the mounting number of critics of our management team on here are worthy souls who do anything from a little to a hell of a lot of volunteer work for the club. Some of these, along with others expressing grave concerns, are also longstanding supporters with decades of experience of the ups and downs of our club stretching back to Southern League days and in some cases beyond. It’s also telling that the criticism from these and others is not just about just a long run of generally poor results but also extends far wider to include recruitment, selection, formations, tactics, treatment of players, substitutions, analysis, attitude, communications and PR – in fact, more or less everything to do with first team football management. Surely “the powers that be” realise all this?

Hash - what's depressing is to set up against the bottom team, which hasn't won in quite some time, with 7 of the 10 outfield members of the team being defensive players AND to neuter our most creative player by asking him to hug the touchline.

Still monumentally pissed-off after yesterday. More than any other game this season including the Franchise one. Why? Because I knew it was coming even before I saw the starting XI (and I bet I wasn't the only one...) [Link]

For fuck's sake this place is depressing.

I'm still seething as well, more so than after any other game this season. I think it is because this is the first game i went to thinking we had a squad that could actually survive in this division - previously i could just shrug off the performances and looming relegation due to a substandard squad.

Good morning all. Still furious? You bet!

Thanks Donny, always good to have one's own gloom put in perspective.

Personally i’d be happy wishing for NA to sort this shit out. But sadly I disagree with Shane Macgowan I think yesterday was a pretty equal performance to Oxford the only difference is that Plymouth were only good enough to get one goal.

Nobody’s wishing for a worse manager than Ardley :-)

Biggles- 6 teams are worse, while ever Ferguson is in charge at Donny. Reading both forums there are so many similarities, Fergie is very good at spotting a decent player (granted he will have a much higher budget than NA) however he is tactically hopeless & is losing the fans & it seems players faith rapidly. Speaking with my Donny hat on (& I appreciate most on here see more of the Dons than me) I would take Ardley over Fergie any day.

Anyone of wise guru's figure out why we missed so many chances in the last 15 min

A Sutton council wheelie bin has more movement and desire than Trotter

Me and salad with an egg and spoon could outrun trotted!

Think I've worked it out...

Cheshire - why?

I blame the ball sponsor- ha 😂

I couldn't go to the game today, but it sounds just awful. What is truly remarkable is that there are still 5 teams worse than ours.

Sadly a predictable interview with NA, not mentioning why he changed the personnel who did so well for him in the last two games. Comical when he mentioned that he "had to change the shape 3 times" when realistically he just needed to retain the players with the shape he had used for the last two games. Even a dumb idiot like me groaned at the sight of a starting line up with Trotter in the centre and our only true creative player stuck out on the right - there was no logic to it. The really sad aspect of today was that the manager didn't need to do anything, just wind the players up and tell them to want it like they did on Tuesday. However, it appears that he couldn't resist fiddling with the system. Great managers know when to make changes and when to leave well alone - today was a day to leave well alone...

Trigger - Don't worry mate, if you continue reading the gb, i feel sure that we can keep you in the picture as to the shite we are watching, which i am sure you will appreciate greatly. 😉

I am a 'concession' and I bet I could outrun Trotter over 50 metres.
