Our away form has been relegation standard for 18 months and there is no sign it is going to change. DC has no idea who his best team are, and the best teams are built around continuity. Our players can have a blinder one week and be dropped the next. Why were there changes after the Northampton win?
He has become arrogant. Just listen to how he speaks to Ed Hadwin on the radio. Arrogant when we win, humble when we lose.. By all accounts he has now apologised which says a lot in his favour for doing so.
And please get out of this chopping and changing of the team. Especially in defence where understanding between players is vital.
By the way DC, it is games not projects.
Finally, with all the expenditure on staff, we still have no defensive coach. Heaven help us.

After 130 years of rovers being distinctly average (along with many other clubs), why's people losing the plot all of a sudden? What's changed? Them down the road doesn't help matters but the big concern is slipping into a relegation fight we just know we'd struggle to win, then what happens the ALQ's throw in the towel and we're back to square one back in div 2. Although if fans are content to be just a mid table div 1 perhaps that we've spent 130 years being one!

Heaven help us. I agree, been asking the same question. Steve Yeats was barking his orders throughout a match. Now our defence seems lost with out a leader on the field or on the touch line.

The tactics, formations and rotations is what has brought us two promotions and our highest finish for years. Not working now though is it fella , quite obvious really that his tactics , formations and rotations need to change drastically if we are not to fall into a dare I say it ‘relegation battle ‘. 4 points off the playoffs isn't time to change everything drastically. Realistically were a mid table League One team sat in mid table. The summer gone hasn't been great so we can't be expecting to be up there with the best in this division.

So our defence was better last season was it? 4th worst defensive record of 70 goals conceded.

Although if the argument is we've been poor for two seasons surely only the manager, or whoever signs the players, can take the blame?

Ignoring the will they/wont they for a moment. Unless someone mega rich like Lansdown is prepared to just drop 10s of millions and expecting nothing back, then any stadium or training ground will be built with loans, or outside investments, just like most things ever are. The ALQ's are seemingly, at least collectively, billionaires who have access to funds from their own investment bank they've clearly got access to the funds if they wanted to spend/invest it. I don't personally care how the funds are raised as long as we get some progress soon on one of the developments and it doesn't eventually bankrupt us. suggest you do some research - I don't think they have ever claimed to be billionaires.

But this time last year lockyer and hartley were being dominated by 2 barrow strikers and both had struggled up to that point in the season despite steve yates?

I don't need to be my research here's what the BP had to say last year: "In estimating Wael Al-Qadi's fortune at £400 million we have taken a conservative view. It may well be higher, but as the wealth cannot be clearly seen we have to work with the information we have. Yes, there is some guesswork involved. But it is educated guesswork based on experience. So he isn't a billionaire? "I think any rich Arab can often get described as a billionaire. If you were to take all of the interests of the extended family you may be able to get over the £1bn mark, but by "and family" we're really talking about Wael, his father and his brothers. Otherwise it gets a bit silly and inconsistent with UK people on the list." Perhaps you need to do your own research before posting in the future? I agree, been asking the same question.

But this time last year lockyer and hartley were being dominated by 2 barrow strikers and both had struggled up to that point in the season despite steve yates? Then January came and the Locks & Sweeney partnership turned things around and we went on a decent unbeaten spell, at one stage we thought we might make 6th until that Harrison's pen miss at P'boro!!

Perhaps you need to do your own research before posting in the future? please point me to ANYWHERE that the Al-Quadi's have claimed to be billionaires. - The Post saying so is no more reliable than you saying so - in fact, the Post admit to be guessing. Please do not turn guesses and rumours into fact - because they are not.

Heaven help us. Hahaha calling DC arrogant is a joke when you're sat there telling DC how to manage. DC has never made any secret of disliking the media. It's not about being arrogant. It's about protecting himsekf and the players against the media who are always trying to catch people out. Also Ed Hadwin is a tosser.
