The manager isn't good enough. Simple. Getting Bristol Rovers out of conference and l2 is not enough for the next phase. But B R F C is not a club or team that equates with the 7th biggest city in the uk. Wise up. Look at the recruitment facts and the constant team changes - and the blather about winning meaningless cup games. The playiing strategy is all wrong. Bullshit springs.to mind. The manger is afraid of others wisdom. No leadership, experience or hard nosed grit. In. .

Christ what a depressing load of nonsense. All the same people who get carried away when we win one match.

But nicholls likes to come deep and get the ball to feet,there is no evidence that he would be comfortable playing off a big striker looking to get behind the defence. Well if you are right then that certainly rules out 4-4-2 ... what system is going to suit him then? Well im thinking that dc was hoping that bodin,sercombe and nichols[playing a false 9 role] would be interchanging and creating openings between them. But if that was the plan it hasnt quite worked. Taylor quite often gambled on getting behind the opposing defence by making clever runs but that dosnt appear to be tom nichols style. Just opinions of course.

Reading ridicilous things like this certtainly makes me think so. We have majorly progressed 3 seasons running. Whenever we have had a slump DC has put it right. Bristol Rovers Football Club is not a city. We are a football team in a city with 2 football clubs. The lack of respect for what the man has done for our club is quite frankly disgusting. I can't tell if you are onnthe wind up, apple juice or what? If you genuinely meant that post then I would hang your head in shame.

I think ithe problem is with the club not DC if he went to a bigger club with everything we are working on already in place he would be smashing it !

Christ what a depressing load of nonsense. All the same people who get carried away when we win one match. Is it though? Istm the people who get carried away when we lose are nearly all different to people who get carried away when we win. So individuals are consistent, it's just collectively the forum looks schizophrenic.

He's a young manager and still learning his trade he's done a great job so far and will have blips in his cv we all don't agree with the way he tinkers with the team and formations but what you are saying is far from the truth. yes he could of done better in the transfer window,experience comes with years but bullshit comes from brightonpirate if you ask me.

Christ what a depressing load of nonsense. All the same people who get carried away when we win one match. I didn't think we were that good when we won our games. We have been far from convincing nd absolutely rolled over in all games we've lost. it is depressing. but reality is we aren't very good right now. I don't think there is much getting away from that. Weve been brushed aside by Peterborough, Bradford and now Wigan. We are in for a scrap. Everybody wants to DC to put it right and Wael to deliver, but seems some on here feel as if the club can do no wrong no matter how poor we look on the pitch or how slow the infrastructure projects are progressing, the stadium build is back to square one for example. All fans want the club to do well, but come on the last month or so has been bad news followed by bad results on the pitch. See you at Wolves though.

There seams to be a lot of debate about our team compared to last seasons?
You could split last seasons teams into two, the first and second halves.
The first half our goalkeeping situation was worse than now, maybe the defensive is similar? The second half we had Lumley who I imagine most on here would say he is better than what we have now.
In midfield we had more depth with the loan players such as Boateng / Colkett whilst they were not that good if gave the position more options and more competition. Plus a decent winger who we let go.
Then up front we had Taylor's goals. Without them where would we have finished last season? Gafney looks to be a decent form and should be given more game time. Unlikely he will get 20 goals a season but other than Bodin he is looks to be the next best bet for getting goals. Regarding Bodin, does he appear to have gone off the boil a little since the transfer window closed? Maybe he is a little disappointing not to get a move, or is he just getting marked more tightly now?

With all the criticism of DC one thing we have learnt about DC is he usually sorts out his problems. In the Conference he turned round a slow start and developed a system that suited the players and made us hard to beat. In League 2 he turned around a poor home record to make us unbeatable at home in the league after November, enough to get us promotion. In League 1 he solved the problem of a poor defence and made it much better. Now he has to solve this problem. I'm sure he will, it's just frustrating at the moment. UTG!

People are certainly getting carried away. However we dont have good enough / natural wingers to play 442 which hinders options. We are short of centre mids if get injuries/suspensions to constantly use 433. Our strike force simply isnt good enough to challenge doing better than we did last season in a now more competitive league.This squad is a top15 squad and we need to accept that

I have constantly said DC needs a mentor. He will not learn on his own. League 1 is NOT the conference or L2. Brighton brought in the likes of Wayne Bridge, Steve Sidwell. Both past their best playing-wise but they brought loads to events on and off the field as part of the overall progression plan. Is there anything comparable going on at the Rovers? I think not...

Well there's your first mistake. Comparing us to Brighton!

We have lots of CB and wing back options so you would think we would have seen this more often this season (especially in a game like yesterday) when we have been struggling at the back.

Would suit bola and leads dwn to the ground (no coincidence leads has got exposed far more in a flat back 4). Its because we are playing the Billy Bodin formation who doesn't naturally fit into a 532 / 352
