There are signs of the second season for Trollope where we got smashed in games but I am not even going down that route. Trollope struggler with man management and got rid of all his leaders like Phillips, Lescott, Disley, Lescott, Hinton and Elliott. They were replaced by Blizzard, loan keepers, Tunnicliffe etc. We now have a manager who is excellent at man management who isn’t scared of anyone. Next season won’t be like Trollope’s relegation season because by January DC will know who is coming with him on the next journey. We still have experience in the squad but just not in the key areas, central defence and I mean an older head. Lines, Sercombe, Slocombe have all played the game long enough. Right now we need a Gary Roberts out wide like when we bought Monky and Igoe in. I would love a Tom Pope sort up front as well, target man leading the line as we are very direct without wingers. I trust DC, he made mistakes recruiting in the summer, Ferguson did this as has Mourinho, it happens but I won’t compare DC to the failure like Paul Trollope who left us in a mess with the team he left behind. Top post !

Nicholls is Luke James in disguise!! Actually, I think that's harsh. James gave 100% every minute he was on the pitch and looked much less mentally weak than Nichols.

I think we could get relegated. We are to inconsistent and our defence is clueless and simply just not good enough to seriously challenge in this league. I wonder what Clarke does in training defensively? He is a walking talking disaster. The only way of getting promoted in this leauge is to spend big like Southampton did in thier short stay in Leauge 1. We also need a decent a stadium and training facilities.

I am always one to look on the positive side but I think it is totally valid to be concerned about the amount of goals we have shipped. Like a few posters on here I agree that a mid table finish would be acceptable as the squad is in transition and we're not spending megabucks. A mid-table finish should not be taken as read, though, and we will have to shore things up at the back somehow, whether it be by a change or formation or personnel. DC has done this before, though, so I have confidence he can do it again.

Do you seriously think this football club is going in the right direction with no money being spent by Wael and with a tinpot pathetic excuse of a stadium and a clueless manager? This football club is laughing stock.

Why's the manager "clueless" if Telford had scored to put us 1-0 up before Broadbent/Bola gave Oxford a goal between them we'd have gone 6th on Saturday, that's hardly the signs DC's clueless? If Wael's not giving DC any money then what's he's suppose to do to get better players in?
Have you actually thought about what you've posted?

Look at the hammerings we have had already this season under Clarke. Futhermore Wael must realise to get out of this Leauge you need to sign quality proven Leauge 1 players not loan signings. We are to inconsistent, win one game then lose the next.

When he took over the side DC said he saw Rovers as a top 7 team in league 1 and it was his intention to achieve that. With maybe another season or two he can make that a reality. Given Rovers current resources and facilities that's the limit of the clubs potential at the moment. Whilst Championship football could be achieved in the next 5 years or so it won't be sustainable for any length of time. Ground redevelopment or relocation is imperative if the club want to go to the next level.
