Are you a goal keeping coach looking for a job or something ? me pointing out that someone isn’t doing their job very well means I want their job does it ? In all the home games this season, I’ve not noticed him doing anything significantly different to what the opposition coaches are doing at the other end. Stuart Naylor has been in the game 40 years, so I trust him to know what he’s doing.

As what I can only presume is in response to the comments made tonight during the interview, GC's odds have now tumbled all the way down to 2/7. To go from evens down to 2/7 would suggest some serious money (For the market) has been placed on him in the last few hours right? Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I didn't spot it. Or the bookies have been tipped off ..

I’m the same. I’m 100% behind him and want him and us to do well next season. But I’m also worried we won’t. Why’s this? Is it because we’re Rovers and we know cr** is just around the corner even if we can’t see it at the time? Style of play has been necessary even if it hasn’t been good. Only I don’t think the guy has said anything to make us worry has he? But socrates, any manager comes with no guarantee and at least with GC we know he can organise a team, get results and work well with a seriously unbalanced squad with no creativity. UTG! I think it’s partly the style of play. A bit , he was a defender then defensive coach and he doesn’t seem to like ball players ( I think every team needs at least one playmaker ). And a bit because the last two managers who I can think of who came in half way through a season and kept us up had terrible seasons following that. I do like the bloke I wanted him to get the job in December, was glad he got it and I’m delighted he kept us up. I’m not to optimistic about next season however, but that’s not totally down to Coggers , it’s sbout the players who are leaving , the rumours about budget cuts , the no training ground or stadium on the horizon etc too.

Wonder what staff are getting the chop then? hopefully Naylor. Bloke is stealing a living not doing an awful lot other than rolling balls to the keepers I will ask him about your comments when i see him next....

Wants to play a high-pressing, high tempo style of football with pace on the wings and lots of crosses. That’s the bit that pleased me the most, tbh! So why release or not play D.L. He’s not a winger but his pace with a decent winger in front of him (bodin) and link up play was good excellent. Final ball not great but he was a defender who despite what people think, I thought he defended well. After what GC said would not surprise me if DL retires !

Similar to how I feel about the bloke. He did interview well though, saying and doing are two different things. Plymouth issue didn’t get totally dismissed by GC in way he should have done. If he does last next season and betters his league table this season and his 8th place then we won’t be complaining. Is he capable tho of achieving more than steadying the ship and moving us forward? Guess we’re just going to have to watch and see.

"Keeps going on about us finishing eighth in league (since he took over) and that's what he's aiming to use as an advertisement to potential new players"
LMAO the only selling point of joining this football club is that over 24 games or whatever it was we finished 8th? We're an embarrassment

Unless GC can pull a few JCH type of rabbits out of the hat I can see it being a long season. Doesn't seem like he is going to be particularly be backed in the market, but we will have to wait and see.

hopefully Naylor. Bloke is stealing a living not doing an awful lot other than rolling balls to the keepers I will ask him about your comments when i see him next.... Told me recently he was "getting too old for this" and sounded like he was considering retiring.

Not sure I'm to worried about the players leaving, Sincs, Leads & Lines have hardly played this season and if we get a better version of Broadbent in to replace Locks then, as daft as it sounds losing an international, he could be an improvement.

Fair enough, agree with that. I guess it’s all down to what we get in during the summer. Get a few good creative players, a keeper and a RB and we could have a decent worry-free season. Lots of “ifs” though. UTG!

So why release or not play D.L. He’s not a winger but his pace with a decent winger in front of him (bodin) and link up play was good excellent. Final ball not great but he was a defender who despite what people think, I thought he defended well. according to gc leads opened up to him about his injuries and said his body kept failing him and that the injuries were getting the better of him I thought that was a bit naive by GC to reveal that. DL will be busy looking for another club (who of course will carry out a medical and be aware of his injuries), but to publicly say on radio that in a private conversation the player believes the injuries are getting the better of him certainly won't help him find another job. I bet the agent for DL was fuming!

"We finished 8th over 24 games last season" Coughlan said he’d show that league table players to convince them we had a good squad and that we wouldn’t be fighting another relegation battle next year. Never said it was the sole or most significant selling point of the club.

"We finished 8th over 24 games last season" 'I don't want to join you just to be in a relegation fight.' 'You won't be in a relegation fight, under me, we were top eight, and if you join us we can push on for at least playoffs.' 'I'll ask me agent.'
