Dont write him off yet.

Well isn’t that just wonderful.
Especially after the lad was heavily scrutinised within 10mins of his announcement last night. Get in there Victor.

Nichols up front as a loan striker. FFS. I'm looking forward to the new kit. And not much else. So are you saying we should play JCH in a friendly not fit yet so we can say we might have won a friendly and it looks good on paper even if it doesn’t get us points? Let’s also stick the new lad in who spent 5 hours in a car yesterday who hasn’t even played with his teammates yet or now there names? COGS is an idiot, JCH and Ade should have started, we are letting down 300 fans from Bristol who have gone, the club name, he’s letting us all down. Take a chill pill. Victor scores. Nichols. LOL.

Well done Victor, I don’t believe it! We’ve got one foot in the playoffs! Victor is very mature for his age (sh** showing my age there lol)

Some real sh** posted, creation this, creation this, this is the problem with people who have only supported us for 3 years since DC took over and have a limited football knowledge. I want some on here to go away and do some homework, research on the game and come back to us. Research hold up play and go to Rickie Lambert, guess what JCH isn’t playing today. Then go to running the channels research and look at Agogo and Harrison, guess what Adebongo isn’t playing today. I remember Rob Trees, Mauge, Bryant and Hogg supplying Roberts, Hayles, Cureton, Ellington. The 4 mentioned had no pace, real skill and one was nearly puking up his burger on the pitch. Let him stick his team out which has his first choice strikeforce, let them gel and get a bloody understanding of the game whilst learning patience. I’ve been away and still some proper Banned word posting on here. Paul I'm not at the game today and haven't posted on this thread until now, however I share the concerns about a lack of creativity. I've watched Rovers for 42 years but that doesn't make me any more or less qualified to judge than those you are dismissing as only watching since DC was here. I do take your point about the midfielders you mention, but the big difference is that the strikers you refer to were either capable of creating chances for themselves or had a particular attribute (finishing, pace, strength, etc) that quite frankly, none of our current ones do. Creativity is a problem. It has been since GC fell out with Lines or Lines stopped being the player he was, depending upon your point of view. If GC doesn't address it, whilst stockpiling strikers and defenders, he will only have himself to blame.

If creativity was a problem last season when we had lines why do we need to replace him, no logic there Ok , a couple of questions for you. Do you think our midfield creates enough for our strikers and who is our most creative midfielder ? No we are not creative enough, we agree on that. My point is that Lines played under DC for the first half of last season and we were not creative then either.

Just a couple of points if I could venture: I didn't say J CH should play. I didn't say we should start with Victor. But I have a hunch he'll come on later and score. I didn't say that Graham Coughlan is an idiot (and I most certainly did not call him "COGS". Cringeworthy). I didn't say that J CH and "Ade" (I understand his name is "Victor") should start. I didn't say we were letting down 300 travelling fans. Or the Club.

My point is that Lines played under DC for the first half of last season and we were not creative then either. Due to off field issues he hardly played, plus w/o JCH we didn't have a striker who could score anyway. Perhaps Sercs can take Lines role and Bennett can keep up his pre-season form to give us some creativity.

Now we prepare for the real deal next Saturday. But first, a small matter of this retro kit. I haven’t brought a Rovers shirt since the 2000 season, I have a feeling this one may change my mind. Or so I hope.

It’s far too early to be getting ahead of ourselves. I’m thinking playoffs rather than autos.

Victor scores already whilst Nichols adds another game to his list of not scoring

Completely different type of players. The challenge with Sercs is to get him ghosting in and scoring again, not converting him to something he isn't.

If GC doesn't address it, whilst stockpiling strikers and defenders, he will only have himself to blame. While I do agree that we ideally would add a creative player into the team there is no way Chris lines is at his best anymore. The rumoured off field issues and that falling out with GC aside, he hardly featured for either manager last season and when he did we did not get the Chris lines we once seen dominating the middle and creating chances. I do disagree slightly with your point about none of our current forwards having strong attributes as imo JCH has every attribute you listed above and he did seem to score plenty of goals in the half a season he played here without the so called creative players we are crying out for. I think we have added creativity in the full back areas and think we will get assists from these areas. Me like every other rovers fan wants to see us be successful and at this moment we will all just have to wait and see how this season unfolds once the real action starts
