Anyone disagree now that three games is a rediculous amount of time to judge anyone to the extent that they should be sacked?

Sacking him would have been ridicilous, the only really, really bad result with no excuse was Altrincham.

I have had my doubts. Not fully dispelled yet, but a more settled side and points on the board sees a much needed improvement.

I'm not claiming he is a success or a failure, it's far too early to tell. Just pointing out that 3 games is madness, and as for the person that went to the trouble of making a Twitter account with 'Clarke Out' in the name...

Now he is settled on a side, we have looked an awful lot better. I never wanted him sacked but I would be lying if I said doubts weren't starting to creep in...

Six may still be a little early Funnily enough, despite being a supporter of Clarke from day one I think today was one of our poorer performances. Some of the tactics in the second half weren't fantastic, and I think we got a little lucky in the end. We sat too deep for a looonnngg time (which played right into Halifax's hands), and it was only in the last 10 minutes that we really took control again. Having said that, they do say that successful teams win when they perform poorly, and that was what we did today. Took a lot of mental strength to come back and win that where other Rovers teams would have fell apart and lost. I also need to remember there is a reason Halifax had a 100% record before today, they're a good side. Well done DC and the players (particularly pleased for Ellis), but I'm not getting carried away just yet

I've still got my doubts that he's the leader we need but we are improving for sure. We still need a playmaker though, so many have been talking for years about how we need a striker regardless of how many strikers we've brought in but we just need someone who will take a touch , look up, and play a killer pass. Hopefully Clarke will bring one in because without one I think the play offs are unlikely.

Anyone disagree now that three games is a rediculous amount of time to judge anyone to the extent that they should be sacked? But nobody was making it on 3 games. They were making it on a season as assistant, 8 disasterous games as manager that resulted in non league football, a very worrying pre season and an appauling first 3 games. That is the fact centenary. The last 3 games have been a big improvement and long may it continue. He deserves massive praise if he can pull this off and in particular because of all the criticism. His appointment as manager was an odd one but the benefit of a luck and chemistry approach is that sometimes you get both.

Then he was shafted by being appointed after the window and we were in trouble. Then Twatola kept changing his budget making signing players a difficulty. Two sides to it really.

Im not saying its right or wrong just that its far too simplistic so claim people wanted Clarke sacked becaae of 3 games of football. Clarke admits making big mistakes last season and the circumstances we are in means it will take a while for him to win people over.

You will always get idiots involved in Twitter, Face Boog etc, thats why I never been involved with this type of media.

Well as you've asked I actually do not think it was ridiculous to form such an opinion of a manager who saw Rovers relegated from a position of safety, followed by a mediocre close season and three disastrous results that left us near the bottom of this league. I am not ashamed to say I held those views after three terrible results this season, however I would love to be proved wrong and see Darrell Clarke take us out of this league. Surely the forum is about exchanging views and I do not believe people should be ridiculed for their views as this post seems to do.

Anybody who actually watch today's game would know we were very fortunate to win, if we hadn't it would have been one win in 6 which is hardly great form. If we are to become serious challengers under DC then we need to put in a decent performances in the next couple of games, and not slip back to win one. lose one performances. At least things are finally looking up and we finally had a bit of luck this afternoon.
