Wow- the tone on here is tough sometimes.
I asked the the original question about the celebration because It reminded me of the goal against Chesterfield, after DC had lost his gran. I apologise for my curiousity. Frankly, i asked out of concern- hoping that similar bad times hadn't come to another. Regardless- kudos to the team. Many felt the season was over and even if the celebration meant little more than: 'we just scored!' - good on them for wanting a winner that much. True enough. I get the impression some on here just sit down and think of ways to make a post look stupid. You'd never think sometimes we all follow the same club. I've almost had enough of it. But not quite. So no need for a "bye then". Agree completely aghast, I've been thinking the same of late.

Please sort the thread title put Mods. Only took 5 pages of slagging the poor guy off before anyone else realized the OP can't spell his name.

Definitely think Ellis will be here next season as I think DC sees him as his own little project.

Ellis will get 2 goals today and then he will be the best thing since sliced bread, well for at least a week anyway.

If DC sees Ellis as work-in-progress then he can be a project and also an asset. We need at least 4 or 5 strikers in the squad for next season so there's room for Ellis and Gaffney and still have room for a couple of additions. I don't think there's room for James if we want to make some signings to boost goal-scoring potential.

It's going to be a gamble trying to bring in a whole new strike force , I think DC will keep Ellis and gaffney and sign 2-3 new strikers to add to them.

Yep...easy peasy...Rovers have been doing it for decades.Not sure why you think big money has to be spent .Don't recall vast fortunes being spent on Hayles,Roberts,Cureton,Lambert,Walker,White,saunders,Beadle, J Taylor M Taylor ,Ipoua ,Ellington ....all signed by rag bag Rovers. DC has managed to sign plenty of strikers so far who did well at the previous levels ,do you doubt his ability to sign a striker or two now ?? Its not like rovers are at twerton park training out of a portakabin at a chocolate factory is it. Don't be such a defeatist.
Not really sure how guy ipoua gets on that list. Did ok at Rovers but did better elsewhere...Scunthorpe he did well didn't he ?

I don't understand the comments on here and elsewhere online about Ellis, supposedly from grown adults. Where would we be without his vital late goals last season against Oxford and Northampton? Where would we be without his vital goal at Wembley amongst his 10 goals in the last 12 games of our conference season? Would we still have a squeak for promotion this year without his excellent goal on Saturday, his late winner against Gillingham or his virtuoso display against Northampton? Like it or not, he has been a major factor in our renaissance and in my opinion he should never have to buy a drink in North Bristol again.

Like it or not, he has been a major factor in our renaissance and in my opinion he should never have to buy a drink in North Bristol again. Can't keep a player based on sentimental value. Did well in the conference for us but has he been that important since? Well done he's scored a few goals, but essentially, it's his job and he should be doing it a lot more. Strikers tend to score goals that win games and he hasn't done it enough since leaving the conference. Your points can be twisted and turned to suit whatever side of the argument, what if we had a striker who found the net more than Ellis? Would we be inside the Playoffs rather than still having a "squeak of promotion"? Yeah Ellis stood out against Northampton but a striker who has a great game in 1 out of 44? We can't keep him because "Where would we be without his goals in the conference", if we're to move on Ellis either has to dramatically improve or he has to go, IMO of course.

Which is the right thing to do, you'll never get two strikers as back-ups that are better than Ellis and Gaffney, in terms of what they provide for a team and squad. Build on the squad, don't destroy it. People need to look at Andy Williams' career, and how long it took him to be a regular goalscorer at L1 level, before dismissing Harrison purely because 'he's been here a while'. Once he gets a bit more consistency to his game like Williams did he'll get regular goals at this level. If not with Rovers then with someone else.

I believe some supporters of Ellis do so as a way of trying to protect him from the boo boys. Nothing wrong with that at all.
But I think it all clouds the fact he hasn't been doing enough and probably needs a change of scenery.

We'd be level on points with Millwall now had he not missed that sitter at Bolton and tried that backpass against Scunthorpe.

Ellis is clearly the best striker we have and there is no sentiment in me wanting to keep him at the club. He has shown the ability to score goals in every division he has played and clearly still has improvement in him. I sense I may be in a minority in thinking this, which I think is a shame, but it's all about opinions.

We'd be level on points with Millwall now had he not missed that sitter at Bolton and tried that backpass against Scunthorpe. Not to mention the other thousands of if's and but's over the season. I don't think you can be that selective, we have lost and gained points in lots of games that could have ended differently.
