One of the most frustrating things about being a DCFC supporter is our inability to spot and buy emerging talent at the right time.
Two examples...I distinctly remember us being strongly linked - probably during Rowett’s reign - with Ollie Watkins (then at Exeter) and local boy Che Adams. They weren’t considered good enough for us but have both recently arrived in the Premier League for combined fees of around £43m!
If only we had the ability to scout emerging, affordable and ‘hungry’ talent...but, it seems, we don’t.
No more than another unsuccessful Wembley appearance? We had a season of generally entertaining football, finished top 6 and got to the playoff final, what more do you want from a manager FFS? So two signings haven't worked out - I don't see how you can judge what happened with Marriott, how do you know if he was even fully fit for the final?

If frank hadn't left them maybe just maybe the side would ahve developed, but he didn't and we brought in Cocu, a change of manager often means going backwards, it shouldn't but it often does but you can't blame Frank for that.

I'd be happy with entertaining football and a top 6 finish most seasons for a club with our resources we came nowhere near that last season, what has Cocu done that makes you supportive?
