Good point,I thought the shambolicness of having the under 23s play in this comp was to progress the English players.. West Ham's U23 fixture a couple of days ago had 9 English players making an appearance. Only 9..? Surely to make it valid for the under 23's to play in it the team should be 100% English, or at least the overspill being British.

There are only 5 players in their 28 man U23 squad named on transfermarkt not eligible to play for England.

FWIW I hope we lose against WHU and exit the farce of a completion as fast as we can. Won't be throwing a tantrum if we lose. Have to play 3 matches before we exit...minimum

However for the last two seasons, we have stayed away from this competition. Glad to see our protests have worked. I think it's time to want to win this competition. It's worth two additional players next year. One could be a defender or a striker, (the other one obviously will have to be a midfielder).

West Ham appear to be the exception as you wont find the other B teams with nearly as many English players. Man City B team fielded just three English players against Shrewsbury the other week! I don't think there is actually a rule for the number of English players, instead the rule involves around how many player under the age of 21 have to be in the side.

What does he say at 2:20? i have no sound on my PC? Everybody that's getting paid by Bristol Rovers should be pulling for the club. That's all I ever asked for, all I ever wanted, is to make sure that we're all pulling in the right direction. I don't think that's the case at the football club as it stands at the minute but that's for other people to discuss. On the footballing side I know we have a close-knit group... (Can't believe the interviewer didn't follow-up on that.) The level of meltdown over this comment has been blown massively out of proportion I reckon! It’s not like he sat there and berrarated the club is it! There now seems to be a growing contingent that actually want DC out, the inpatients of fans nowadays is unreal! We fast tracked back to L1, no doubt there was a predicted progression level for us getting back, and lucky we grabbed our VIP ticket and went straight to the front, the downside (IMO) is that we had conference and L2 players in L1, and it’ll take time to replace those players while obviously losing our better players and replacing those along the way. We’ve had it good for about 4yrs now, and we were all happy to support the team while on a crest of a wave, now that wave has made it shore, we’re not prepared to get back out and ride the next one? Odd that...

And not the players as he says "we have a close knit group". Hmm..

You have to assume that when he says "football side" he's referring to the players and coaching staff.

(unlikely as they were mates before) Might you this Darrell can't have put you in a twist with his mind games

Assuming it's not the new CEO, as I doubt he's been here long enough, I can't see it being SH then the only one left seems to be TG, perhaps the issues with him are bigger than just the sacking of KB, although do footballers get involved in that type of club politics, it's a bit of a mystery but it doesn't seem to relate to the rumoured takeover talks.

I wouldn't assume it's not the first 2 for those reasons. The new CEO not being here long could be exactly the reason why it could be him. As for SH, if he was slating the team as much as it sounds on Saturday then no reason why he couldn't mean him.

I agree Nobby, but Live Radio is not the place for him to make those comments, as a paid employee of the club, and in his position, he should take this up with DC in private.

He gave the negative that some/most players are not giving their all but then gave the positive that they are still a close knit group, so informing us that there are no divisions among the squad. DC still has his dressing room.

If it was players then all not refer to them as "players" rather than "some people", not sure any manager use the term "people" for his players plus if they are not trying why are they all apparently still being selected regularly rather than dropped from the squad.

That was my question to Twentyman on Saturday following DC's post match interview after be blasted the team.

DCs comment could be aimed at the non footballing side in general for lack of progress off the pitch rather than a specific individual. Either way, he’s made plenty of barbed comments recently which he knows people will pick up on and analyse.
