Too many weak links in the team & we are not simply not good enough at this level. A manager can’t legislate for individual errors for which we are punished. Clarke doesn’t have the time to coach and develop these players, that’s down to their clubs. Grassroots just isn’t there.

Modern leadership and a team effort. 👏🏻 And wouldn’t expect anything else from Jimmy in the way that he carries himself.

I mean the only real criticism is that we didn’t manage the game at the end of each half, especially at the end there. But the team is still learning but doing it whilst winning. We’ll only get better. Otherwise commanding with a nice mix to how we played 👏🏻 Jimmy’s Dons 🔴🐑🔴

I was pretty scathing last year regards wasting £500,000 on Pape. Clearly mis-managed under Robson. Still a rough diamond but you can start to see the potential which was the initial reason he was scouted. Like everyone, will only get better this season.

Absolutely shocking weekend for the Scottish refs btw. Missed some horrendous decisions and whilst VAR did intervene and make some right calls, VAR was also guilty for missing some big decisions too. Moaning about refs is part of the game, let’s just go back to that. #binBAR

Yep all the hallmarks of a Jim Goodwin side against a bigger club: competitive but absolutely no attacking threat. Apart from first 20, Rangers were very average & there to be got at. At times could hear the unrest in the support. Taverner was in top 2 worst players on the park.

A number of red flags along the way, none more so than when he thought St Johnstone played well and deserved something on the first weekend of this season. How about clubs stop giving this clown a job eh?

A far cry from the excellent performance 7 days ago against Ebbsfleet. Diabolical and embarrassing so far. #southendunited

Absolutely laughable that seen Southend fans suggest we are better without Kensdale & even Cardwell. As good as GMS is, we are relying on the RWB to score our goals, whilst unable to keep a clean sheet. Aside from Ebbsfleet a week ago, we have been distinctly average. Work to do.

8 wins out of 8 wasn’t it. A week after beating Celtic. Absolutely battered Hearts in that first half. One of my favourite goals. Pity we then didn’t win for another 8 games or so after…

Rightly criticised on Tuesday but that was an excellent bounce back. Excellent three points. Onto Wealdstone on Tuesday!

May well have to play the patient game today. Not quite sure of the formation and likely a deliberate ploy to have our pace ready to come off the bench in Keskinen, Morris & Vinnie as Spartans will likely tire. In Jimmy we trust! COYR

I would happily watch a player cam on just Nilsen for the full 90. The guy is box office, even when he doesn’t have the ball, he holds his teammates to account. Always on the go and technically a quality player.

Struggling to remember a more professional 1st half performance against a lower league team. Would be no arguments if this was currently 5-0. Just to keep up this intensity second half. 🔴🐑🔴

For the second year in a row I stupidly have plans on League Cup semi final weekend. Praying for a Sunday semi final!!!

EssexDons (@donsessex) 's Twitter Profile Photo

My own bloody fault not leaving the Saturday clear in the diary. Second year on a row too. Haven’t missed us playing Celtic at Hampden since 2000 League Cup final, and you just know what will happen this time round… 🤬
