Sercombe is a great player. But more goals this season and last season from Rodman and a better goals to minutes played ratio, I think my glasses are fine. In any event I know who Rodman definitely is better than - the bloke you want him dropped to accommodate just because you can't back down from backing a nag after three seasons of nothingness. In your opinion Bit like our friends in Govt, we backed them for 9 years, they are not the best but we are going to back them for another 5 years because they are better nags then whats on offer Not my opinion. Statistical fact. Nothing to do with politics. You want Rodman dropped to accommodate a dud to try and prove he's not a dud. Despite him having been a dud for three seasons.

Regarding the top 6 but? There are 2 coughlan teams.
1] the static,passive,boring but organised team that gets some points but are clearly not going to get promoted. 2] The team that plays with high intensity and puts opponents under constant pressure and even works the ball out wide to good effect. I reckon if we play like team 2 more often we might make the play-offs.
I reckon that coughlan himself and the players just need to truly believe they can be that intense dare i say it "warnock" like team and who knows what can happen?

So in your considered opinion has Rodman fulfilled his potential he showed at his previous club ?

Rodman: Best attacking midfielder in the team at present. Nicholls: Statistically the worst striker we've ever had.

You would like to think if Wael and Co are invested in the club, then they might free up some cash to allow us to bring a player or 2 in to help with a push for playoffs.

By my calculations 71 points should be competitive for 6th place this year. Last 10 seasons with 24 teams an average of 73.5 points would see 6th spot secured. With 23 teams the average is 70.31. We need to average 1.53 points a game till the end of the season. 11 wins 7 draws 8 losses. Interested what others think? I'm off to find that bus.

It is that 'belief' that is the key. The vast majority of teams that win promotion score a lot of late goals. It's because they have that 'belief'. You cannot bottle it nor really define it. It's just one of those things you either have, or you don't. I still feel Rovers don't yet have that 'belief', but the mood is changing. I think last week's second half will go a long way to providing that 'belief'. Also, when players look at the league table, and see the position they are in, that can also help in growing that 'belief'. Once you've got it, instead of settling for a draw the team will push on for a win in the last ten minutes of a game. Maybe Ipswich will provide the final block? Dare I say it, but sometimes it's good to get battered in a game, and come away with a 1-0 win!

I only watch Rovers so I don't know or care about other clubs. In any case it's irrelevant to whether or not we should drop him just to accommodate a striker who doesn't score game in game out for three seasons.

The next 2 games will be a great yardstick as to where we are in my opinion. Lose them both - Out come the doom & gloom merchants. 2 draws - Not bad, keeps us in the mix. 1 win, 1 draw - excellent we can start believing. 2 wins - Groundbreaking, get that Dam bus out! A very interesting couple of games coming up UTG!

In your opinion do you think he will have his contract renewed ? Rodman? I hope so. Nichols? I hope not but I have a horrible feeling we will be talking about how great a midfielder he might one day be and how brilliant it is that he only ever scores one league goal a season and how every other league club should have a player just like him who blanks every game for some amazing reason that no one is quite able to properly express and that anyone who thinks goals are good is too stupid to understand in 2023. And when one day in the distant future when he finally scores the 10 league goals that he should be scoring as pretty much a minimum to keep his job there will be worship at the specially renamed Memorial "Flood" Gates.
