Manager Phil Simkin reckons Dorchester Town fans that called for his head during yesterday's Southern League Premier Division defeat to Weymouth "need to come into the real world" and "put their hands in their pockets" if they care about the club.

Speaking after his side's 2-0 reverse, Simkin said he understood the supporters' frustrations but was disappointed with their reaction given the situation the club is in.

He said: "I understand our supporters' frustration but I think they need to come into the real world and accept the fact the way things are, not the way they were.

"I was slightly disappointed with our supporters' reaction because they're either completely ignorant of the situation we're in or they just don't care, I don't know which it is.

"I don't know if they think I can pull rabbits out of hats for much longer because if they can think of someone else who can then he's welcome to do it.

"I can't understand what goes through their heads, it's in front of them, we've got no money.

"I don't quite know what they expect, perhaps they'd like to club together and get me a player.

"If they really care about the club, instead of slagging me off why don't they put their hands in their pockets, get themselves together in a big group and help me."
