DPL vs Wycombe W

Apologies for the delay in putting this up, but I have not had my usual internet access.

I had quite a lot to say, but am now forced to be brief.

If this goes to form we will lose, but WW did lose midweek at Tranmere which means that their confidence may be slightly shaken and of course the pressure will be on them instead of us which has been the case in the past when we have never beaten them on their own ground.

Akinfenwa has been playing 90 minutes and whoever marks him would benefit from a training session with the Springboks pack to prepare.

So we have the ability to put up a good show and a win would mark us as potential "automaticals".

Nevertheless I'll go with my head and say 2:0 to them.

An early Christmas Present indeed! According to the Free Press, his respect for Darren Moore was a big factor in his willingness to stay. Let's really push for the Championship.

Pauline and my thoughts are with everyone in the UK after the tragedy on London Bridge today. Our thanks to the passer-by and the first responders for controlling the situation so quickly.
What does a prisoner "out on licence" mean?
Hopefully, we can all get back to something as footie challenges.

I hope Donaldo is OK - I was hoping he'd go to the Gillingham game and give its a real report.

I cannot understand some of DM's selection choices. Why does he see so much in Gomes? Why was Taylor left on the bench so long? Also, the short-term so called strikers have not really added anything. I know bringing in good people outside the transfer windows is almost impossible, and in the striker role we have been a little unlucky with injuries. The problem with Sterling's dead-leg seems serious. I hope this is not a career ending situation. Some people who have been here have had bad luck in that way - Ryan(?) Mason and Tommy Spurr come to mind.

I am told that Taylor is nursing a groin injury and was left out of the cup tie in the hope that he will be ok for the more important league games.

Game against Leicester:

Well, I subjected myself to the torture of watching this game - at least it was not at 07:00 on the Left Coast! Unless we have a real positive turn-around against MKDons, I really worry about the future of this season.
When I saw the team, I thought “This will not be easy”, but I did not think it would be as bad as it was. However, other than the goals they scored, Leicester did not create too many chances, but did have some where they should have scored. The problem was, we did not really create real chances - so different from earlier when we created chances, but could not score. My comments on the players are:
Lawlor - maybe he has lost confidence as he has not played much, but I almost had a nervous breakdown every time he faced an attack. I think he could have done much better with the second goal, and his distribution is dreadful.
Halliday - totally out of position as a wing back - OK going forward, but lacking any defensive performance, and poor passing. Maybe this was a DM fault with the team selection?
Daniels - this guy is slow, does some dubious tackling, and this game was overly sloppy.
Blaney - shows some promise, but poor passing, and miss-reading the game and his marker (first goal).
Whiteman - tried to get the team going in his role as captain, but even his passing was below par.
Amos - probably the best performance of the “kids” - some great tackles and some great cross, but was caught out of position on occasions. While James maybe the better choice at the minute, can either of the play on the right instead of Halliday?
May - ran around as usual, but unable to make a mark on the game.
Taylor - tried well, but like May did not make enough impact. Both did not get real service.
Thomas - hopeless, what more can I say.
Wright (Sub) he will be good when up to match fitness, but is liable for some dubious tackles - lucky not to get a yellow card.
Bingham (Sub) - slightly better than Thomas.
Gomes - never know what DM sees in him, but he did have a good volley that nearly deceived their GK because of a deflection.
Overall, a very depressing performance.,
