Here I am sat in a hospital waiting for a doctor after waking and being sick with streaks of blood. Sure there is nothing to worry about. I’m now cranking up the bus one more time. We are 10pts off the plays offs and 3pts off the relegation places. From today where could we finish.
Security Goal - just avoid relegation but would be an incredibly poor season by any ones standard
Realistic Goal - we win some, we lose some and end up mid table. Looking at a mini recovery this looks likely. Not good enough as we need to keep making progress.
Stretching Goal - get to the play offs but fall short. This would be a good recovery and one most would take now.
Ground-Breaking Goal - get to play offs and actually get promoted again. No one thinks we could do this in our present position. Is it possible though? What makes it ground-breaking is that right now it seems impossible.
Winners always aim for the impossible. It starts today At Blackburn. Can we win here? Maybe that would be a ground breaking result.
I see this forum has slipped into some negativity since I’ve been away. How about we support our manager, support one another and hope for three points at Blackburn.
I think this is the right time to bring ground breaking goal alive again. Do the players read it? Are they influenced? Don’t know. Who really cares? We are supporters and should have high standards and aim high. In that case, we may as well aim high. It’s better than aiming low and succeeding.

Hope the hospital can get you back to full health richhertford - we need our bus driver. I remember the days when Rovers often used to out-perform themselves against the "big" clubs - maybe today will see a revival of that. We've got more than 5 months of the season left, a lot can happen in that time - hopefully some of the lads will start producing the performances which we know they are capable of. All aboard! Obviously that's richhertford on the right, but who are the other two Gaschat members?

I Agree. We don’t just give up these days. We have been in much worse positions. Win today and things will look much better.

I understand the ticket to security. Let’s see where this journey takes us. Right now we are in 17th place. A few wins before Christmas will push us up the table. These players can perform better. We know they are ambitious (what footballer doesn’t want to improve) but right now too many are anxious. It’s the managers job to build the confidence of players, decide the formation and build the team spirit. This manager has done it before. The time to shine is today my friends. Over to the manager to surprise us all again.

The next 3 games are all winnable, that puts us in a promotion push ! Call that ambition? The next 28 games are winnable because we haven’t played them yet. We will have 11 players, the same as the opposition, but our lads have DC to inspire them and the awesome support of us Gasheads to carry them onwards and upwards to the Championship! (I think I’m getting the hang of this bus thing now,...no disrespect intended in the other thread Rich, as this is a perfect example of how to use social media for good. Your bravery for starting up this thread when you have been unfairly ridiculed in the past is commendable. Fingers crossed the docs give you the thumbs up, then put your foot down on that Gas pedal because I sure as hell want to enjoy the thrill of this ride no matter where it takes us. UTG!)

Thanks for kind comments. I’m up and ready and have decided that we need a bit more positivity. This forum can not be allowed to die. As Rovers go on a winning streak we will see many more positive threads. Glad to be back.

Best wishes Rich for a full recovery from whatever it is that ails you.
Please let's not talk of groundbreaking or buses though. Last time we did this, whilst everyone was looking up, we didn't check where we really were and went down!

Last time we did this, whilst everyone was looking up, we didn't check where we really were and went down! Thanks for message. Not quite right about last time. Last time we did ground breaking goals we got promoted twice. I know you are not a fan of the ground breaking stuff or the metaphor of a bus. Sorry, it’s my thing. It’s what I do. I think I might disappoint you. Good that we are both fans, we might fall out otherwise.😀
