Just to reiterate, I was not alone in this..... August 27th I posted this:
J C H - gone (thread) "Just to add in I think this is a great bit of business from the club. I started a thread a few months back because I alluded jch doesn't seem to command the same reverence as other, more established previous strikers. There appears to be not as much emotional attachment, and I think that's the general consent from both forums today. Good luck to him, but we move on..
Two things. I really, really hope we have negotiated a sell on clause....one thing Peterborough seem to do well is sell on their used wares for a profit.
We definitely need a proven goalscorer at this level or we won't have learned anything from Lambo era. And it could take years to recover if we don't act soon."
Not going to say I told anyone so because I'm disgusted we never replaced JCH, but it's a huge step not to, we are being relegated largely because we cannot score.... especially as the stat we have only scored ONCE after 80 mins this season!?
Now it's not "could", it's" will". It will take years to recover. Because we didn't act. We done, BG..

We were relegated the day Wael, Starnes and Widdrington decided Coughlan didn't fit into their idealogy and decided to replace him with a total charlatan. I hope the people whining about being 4th under Coughlan are satisfied. THIS IS SPOT ON BUT WE DID HAVE JCH THEN..... NOW WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF GUYS WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND HANLON TAKING TO THE PITCH IN HIS ROLLER SKATES

Agree 100%.BG has landed us in it big time with so much mediocrity and the failure by the club to sign a replacement for JCH and AGAIN in the Jan window defies logic.Even the Rose Tinters must see that the club is badly run to the point of being shambolic. Leahy leading scorer? ??

This thread is brilliant!
Basically, it is absolutely everyone who has been involved with BRFC for the last two decade's fault... with the exception of our current manager, who is completely blameless and not only that, but we must also now speak to him and find out how we turn this whole mess around.
Absolutely baffling.
Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not suggesting that JB is to blame for all of this, but he certainly takes his share of the blame.
Ultimately very poor recruitment both in the summer and then again in January have cost us dearly. Who is in ultimate charge of recruitment?

Oh yes,BH,JA and Daley couldn’t lace his boots Ok, worst pound for pound signing since Jeff Hughes and Justin Channing. You have obviously forgotten Micky Evans, Jefferson Louis and Justin Richards who Holloway paid £100,000 for?! god alive they really are bang your head against the wall signings and beg for the white coats.

I basically posted exactly the same thing on the Great Reset thread. It's the Rovers fans' way - blame ourselves.

See oddly I didn’t mind Evans, was never a goal scorer though, I’ll raise you a Scott Jones to that list, purely on that penalty he should have scored.

With the squad he had Garner would have kept us up but I get why he is still getting a kicking on here. The playes were his not Tisdales or Bartons. The board should have stuck with him,if relegated sacked him then. Now Div 2 and down to Barton to buid a team that can put pride back onto our name. Sorry but that is rubbish. There was nothing to suggest that BG would have kept us up.He took us from 4th in L1, had a chance to completely rebuild that winning squad to fit in with his style 🤪🧐🥴 and f**ked up.He was a dull, un-interesting,souless and un-inspiring "quote" filled modern day football coach. Awlful... Why is it rubbish we will never know if Ben Garner could have turned things around. At the time we were doing ok nothing spectacular but as stated before a whole new team were always going to be inconsistent the 1st season it's put together. Garner built his team to his vision and then trained them all pre season to play to a certain style. We panicked and pushed the button way to early and then rushed the appointment of Tisdale through. For me this all lies with the people at the top as they made all the decisions of hiring/firing and changing the way we operate. This should have been phased in gradually not all at once and Garner isn't to blame he was acting on what he was told to do,bring in youth improve them and then sell the odd one or two on for a profit. If BG was still in charge I am pretty sure we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.

Scott jones was awful - the sort of player that should have been given an Ehmer style slating. Did we pay money for Alvin Bubb as well?

Sorry are you throwing stones in your greenhouse again? Dobson never managed again after his failure with us, Garner doesn’t deserve a chance after his abject failure, Dave Penney definitely deserved another chance. Garner sank the team he took control of, stripped morale and set up for the season with three strikers. Two who had barely ever played league football. Yes and he will probably learn from his mistakes,I would like to see BG prove us all wrong one day even though he got it terribly wrong here and I wasn’t happy losing TC or TN or LS but we carry on until JB or whoever gets this club rocking again. You weren't happy losing Tom Nichols? The bloke who scored 4 goals in three seasons and lost DC his job? You think that was £350,000 well spent and wanted to chuck more money at him? Tom Nichols is objectively the worst player Rovers have ever had. That's not my opinion, the stats speak for themselves. We have never had a less worthwhile player in the history of the club.

Hey I'm not ever gonna be the sort of person to tell you so, but... I posted this on September 19th: How long do we give BG? (Thread) Matthew 7:5 " 'You hypocrite! First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.' Well, I've tried... BG should not be our manager at this time. We've wasted another week before transfer window closes and we could have invested more time and money in a different candidate with proven record in this division. All I've (and others) have ever wanted to do, was remove the rose tinted splinter in some of your eyes." Many here wanted to give BG a season or longer. Maybe out of blind loyalty, which I admire. Even watching BG matches were awful, he had no idea in tactics or how to change a game, slow to react. His acquisitions on paper were generally encouraging, but on grass were appalling. As ever we had our chances, we didn't take them when presented and find ourselves where we are.....5 years of improvement on improvement to get to a promotion challenging team to something now that won't amount to a hill of beans. It's been woeful all round. Wasn’t that just before we went on a run of 3 wins and a draw in 4? Without which we’d now be 100% relegated rather than 99.9% relegated.

He was pushed out - you only have to listen to his Pre-match v Ipswich and the way geordie Tommy talks about How he found it hard working With GC who only wanted “1 type of player” to see that. The board had already decided they wanted to take the club in a different direction with our new ‘dna’

Off the top of my head Bennett would need to play about 100% of his current minutes played tally to rival Nichols utter abject shitness ratio.
