Fair enough Biggie.

What are the two sitting midfielders doing while that is going on?

I would think that their manager, being at home said they need to kill the game and score more. If we didn't try to keep it tight for a bit or give Bappy some support on that side we could have ended on the wrong side of a 10-3. 

The half time change was the right one. But maybe we should have been more attacking after it was still 3-3 with 15 mins to go. However, it may not have been possible in the end to dictate the game at that stage, maybe they were just better than we were and made the most of it.

You are right Karly. We only bought 500 tickets but you could go in on the day for £30. King Power ( Kings of Duty Free ) another Thai company taking liberties.

 i don't agree. Dougie gave up all hope of winning when he brought on Pratley, he played for a draw and sat back. After scoring 3 in the first half he must of known we could get at them just the same as they could get as us, he should have brought on Eagles or Mavies for Hall and try to keep the momentum up and take the game to them.

No one expected us to win and at half time we still had a chance until DF went back to plan A, defend at all costs. Poor decision from a poor manager

Dougie has no plan, the loanees were a stop-gap to buy him time.

Time is all BWFC can afford to buy, regardless of who happens to be the manager.

I'll be amazed if DF's given any sort of competitive budget for January and I can't see us getting much income from sales so the only option is to try to keep it going until the debt is reduced and/or development squad players make the grade. Or a gazillionaire buys the club which isn't going to happen.
