We are all in love with D.C. š Heās brought back the buzz, excitement and everyone on be same side. Itās been many a year since Iāve experienced an atmosphere quite like todayās. Before the game kicked off, thereās blokeās with their tops off all jumping around to Allez allez allez super Darrell Clarke. We sold out the away end at Northampton with many in the home end. The Darrell Clarke factor has bit us badly. I thought we were supposed to start off crap though? š Hi mate

Yeah I really miss him.
Just imagine, if he hadn't been fired we would have been relegated instead of Walsall and we could have all enjoyed watching us getting beaten at home 3-1 by Grimsby.
The blokes had his moment in the sun and he's now a journeyman lower league manager who will do the rounds for he next 10 years or so before becoming some sort of football consultant, pundit or scout.
It happens.
PS. What ever happened to Trollope? After Lenny he became reliant on Chris Houghton for coaching roles. I believe Houghton in now unemployed?

We COULD of stayed up with DC , if we did go down we MAY of beaten Grimsby. Heās hardly had his moment in the sun as he is still a young manager. DC is hardly a journeyman manager as his only major management roles in the football league has been with us and now Walsall. Trollope has managed again at a higher level since leaving us and surely you arenāt suggesting that Houghton hasnāt been successful as a manager ? Heās managed at the top level and had a decent career with the majority of teams that heās managed. I may of read this post wrong , so forgive me if I have.

I believe Houghton in now unemployed?Since departing Rovers he's been first-team coach/assistant at Birmingham, Norwich and Brighton under Chris Hughton as well as managing Cardiff and working for Wales. Safe to say he's done fine for himself since and will no doubt land another Championship role at some point this season when Hughton does.

PT's one managerial stint at Cardiff was a disaster, a point you managed to studiously ignore. He seems a decent coach, which I have never denied. The point I also made is that is probably how DC will stay in the game. If, of course, he could take his ego sufficiently to accept being a number 2. Cue assorted lavatorial jokes.

I don't think DC will replicate his early success at Rovers. I don't think he has the ability to manage long-tern in L1. I believe he will become a journeyman manager in the lower leagues, Conference and L2. I do believe he would have relegated us. He had lost his mojo. The players weren't playing for him. He had turned against his players and started to criticise them, making them train on days off. That is the start of the end for all managers. It was the end of DC. But where have I said Hughton hasn't been successful. He has, by and large, and he has carried PT along on his coat tails. The evidence shows PT is not a successful manager IN HIS OWN RIGHT. That is all I said.

I'm not "studiously ignoring" anything... just saying that he's not only managed in the Championship since (successful or not) but also had numerous coaching roles in the top two tiers plus internationally. If DC had the same post-Rovers career I'd call that a success and I'm sure he would too. Trollope's done fine for himself. FWIW, I think DC will end up back in the conference long-term and he'll end up being another Martin Allen of sorts - an "expert" in non-league but can't quite cut the mustard in the EFL. Hope I'm wrong but just my two cents.

Hi Oldgas hope you are well ? , in reference to Chris houghton , i said , ā surely youāre not suggesting houghton hasnāt been successful as a manager?ā I read that as , you didnāt think he was a success. That obviously isnāt what you meant so apologies for misinterpreting that part of the post.

He should have gone to Notts County, he would have brought them up. Like us if County hit a run of form and they hit the top two then their crowds would probably be the best in the National League
