Been watching since the late 70s and this is the worst I can remember...the players with some balls aren't good enough...and the players with some talent have no balls!

Walker era was depressing but after his sacking we went on to win the FA Cup

Smith era was also depressing

This current era is also equally depressing, here's hoping we avoid relegation and win another FA cup as it's the only thing we can actually win now
 


Early 80s for me, but that could be an age thing, I was late teens so would travel everywhere and each time wonder why.

It was scary v Wimbledon & Coventry, but not the same 'bad' if you know what I mean?

My fear is, that when we've been in a battle before its been the supporters that have dragged us up, spurring on the likes of Kevin Campbell, but I'm scared the fight has lost a lot of us, we've become riddled with battle fatigue as time after time we've had hopes built up and then dashed. Not just on the pitch either, but throughout the boardroom, the whole DK shambles caused the biggest rift in the support since the banjo pluckers were spawned, it undermined us all as a club, we lost the unity. I've said many times, that will be Kenwright's legacy.

Now, I put part of it down to the opening fixtures, no chance of momentum building from such a fragile and risky squad, and there isn't anything the supporters can build hope on. No Kevin Campbell on the horizon. If the board balls up the next appointment it doesn't bear thinking about. But, the big 'but', is the board themselves need sorting. Kenwright has too much influence. Elstone is the ultimate disaster for our club such is his shambolic tenure, plus others that patronise with mediocrity, all just be cleared out. It's like a virus at the club, and if Moshiri has any savvy he'll clear out the club of all the deadwood. Don't and we'll be in this position and worse for many years.
 
No chance.

Whilst we are utter dog spunk at the moment, i still feel this team can put a few wins together and gain some momentum. Just need a bit of luck.

Same. With a bit of investment in January, some work on an actual identity and a bit more mental discipline we can turn this around. We have been bad but our luck is woeful atm, no doubt about it.

Think about the players we had in 98 and during the Smith era? It feels as bad now because we're in the eye of the storm and there was so much promise.
