I'm not sure whether Taylor is a natural striker, but what I am sure of is that he has been our best striker in a successful team over the last 15 months. I think he deserves an enormous amount of credit for improving himself as a player, proving just as effective in league 2 as he was at the level below. I don't know if the stats for this are there but I'm willing to bet that his goals per chances ratio is much improved this season over last. In the last 12 years our top goalscorers (league only, including play-offs) are: R.Lambert: 52 goals from 117 starts R.Walker 50 goals from 118 starts J.Agogo: 41 goals from 109 starts J.Kuffour: 32 goals from 104 starts M.Taylor: 27 goals from 55 starts Taylor has the best goals per game ratio of all of the above. Doesn't make him the best of that bunch by a long way, but when we complain about him not being a natural striker, well natural or not, he's getting the job required of him done. Cracking stuff if the above stats are correct. Matty can be incredibly frustrating to watch but he's 25 years old and has played the square root of f*ck all in terms of league football so there's still lots of time for him to hone his goal-scoring talents. He's not going to set the world alight but he's good enough.

Strewth talk about someone with an agenda Topper. If you see the Post, which I assume you don't bother with because you hate it so much, you will notice I get slagged off regularly, normally by sh**heads, so I can't be saying anything they approve of either. I write it because I believe in what I say, there is no pressure on me to "get clicks" for advertisers, or for me to deliver every week because James McNamara says I can write what I want, when I want. I have been so frustrated in the past because reporters have to tread so carefully around subjects that should be addressed, that when the Post invited people to blog for them I thought I would take the opportunity. Surely this game is all about debate, otherwise why do we bother? And your regular criticism that I don't get to enough games is wearing pretty thin. People know I work for a Sunday newspaper, therefore have to work on Saturdays. Every chance I get though, including paying more than £600 to see us at Cambridge, I take. I had to book a hotel because I would miss my last train, take two days off work which cost me nearly £500, plus petrol and ticket to get in the ground at Cambridge. Bit much for someone who isn't really a fan, don't you think? I've had enough of this "holier than thou" rubbish you spout. Love to join your "superfan" club but obviously I'm not worthy. How can fans debate anything on the awful B Post website? Not sure who suggested you weren't a fan as it wasn't me but you by your own admission you rarely get chance to see Rovers play. The ones that do have no real concerns at the moment Nicholls is up to the goalkeeping task for the next month before his loan spell ends, barring any more howlers. Speak for yourself.

Why can't they just leave the multi screen up? To much talk in the studio and not enough action. It's all absolute drivel as well. Says something when it's Kevin Kilbane being the most insightful. God knows why they can't just put the various streams on the red button, it very much feels like it's set up for the benefit of those in front of the camera rather than those who are watching.

Based on last years average home league attendance of 6793 and a (very) generous estimate of £20 per head match day ticket price, if you were willing to take a £3,124,780 hit on ticket prices you could make all home league games free for a year. That could very well put a few more on the gate and if you had already brought our merchandise and catering into the 21st century you could probably afford to subsidise the following season as well. It's almost surprising that the likes of Man City haven't built a 100,000 capacity stadium and done something similar just to see how many would turn up. Instead they've just piddled away money on sh!t centre-backs

With the luxury of a Friday win, and needing something to worry about this afternoon, this is how I hope the results go. Crawley 0 _ 1 York Keeps Crawley away from us, also ends their revival. Wimbledon 0 _ 1 Hartlepool Wimbledon stay below us Barnet 1 _ 1 Exeter Barnet finding form so a blip would help. Exeter stay below Carlisle 0 _ 1 Yeovil Carlisle stay below Ley O 0 _ 0 Accrington Best option Mansfield 3 _ 0 Wycombe Just don't like Wycombe; Don't like Mansfield either Newport 1 - 0 Northhampton Better result for us. Notts C 0 - 1 Portsmouth Not going to worry about Portsmouth, hope they beat everyone, except us of course. Plymouth 4 - 0 Morecambe Plymouth almost the same reason as Portsmouth, but a 4-0 puts Rovers above Morecambe Stevenage 2 - 0 Oxford Got to leave one automatic available. We're only 9 behind Plymouth and a very achievable 5 behind Portsmouth. Should they both lose today we'll be 9 points of the top of the table with a game in hand. I still think it's early enough in the season to be looking up towards the top of the table and hoping the teams up there drop points. If it's looking as it is now in January then I'd agree with you in that I'd want the top two to run away with it as that gives us a better chance of nicking 3rd or securing a place in the play-offs but at the minute we're still very much in this so why not dream?

Looking at his goal-scoring record and the videos of him on YouTube he looks a very exciting prospect! But then so did Wayne Brown...
Having said that I'd be more than happy if DC decided he was good enough and we managed to get him in, although as said above looking at that tweet from Dundalk FC it seems unlikely.

F*cking hate this "can't even do x, y or z" attitude. No you can't you little brat, not when you're on stupid money for kicking a ball about because one of the only things you have to do as a footballer is try and have even a modicum of respect for the people that pay through the nose to watch you do something you love doing for very good financial reward. I've always stuck up for Ellis, I've argued (literally) his case on the terrace countless times and I want to like the boy, I really do, but this really makes us look like c*nts and does he give a toss? Does he f*ck. Maybe he should spend less time trying to prove the "haters" wrong and a little more proving those that have supported him right. They are not "born and bred" Gasheads though! If they stay here a while, like Vaughan Jones or Pete Aitken for instance, then maybe their attitudes will change but they are only young and although they may be Rovers players they have still not got the dislike/hatred for those who float. The fact that derby matches have not really existed for far too long does not help to foster a strong us and them relationship. He's played in a derby match that ended with 50 arrests. He's been at the club for at least six years, in around the first team for nearly five of those. He knows where we stand with City. Like I said before I want to like him, and I keep giving him the benefit of the doubt but I think it's misplaced.

Does he f*ck. Maybe he should spend less time trying to prove the "haters" wrong and a little more proving those that have supported him right. I can't believe everyone is so worked up about this. Wes Burns is his team mate in the Welsh Squad. Is he supposed to hate him as soon as he comes back to Bristol. Or should he pretend to hate him to make the haters feel better? His only mistake was to tweet about it rather than just keep his head down but that is hardly crime of the century. His options aren't restricted to; -Watch him play -Hate him He could have (amongst other things) chosen to politely decline the tickets (if it was the case that they were complimentary tickets supplied by his Under-21 international team mate) on the grounds that it wouldn't be appropriate to watch his club's biggest rivals two days after losing to the side bottom of the division at home. I agree that it was a mistake to tweet about it though. I don't know about anyone else but for me none of this is "crime of the century" stuff, it's an accumulation of smaller things that paint a picture that Ellis is way more interested in doing whatever-the-f*ck-he-pleases in order to demonstrate that he's not perturbed by the so-called "haters" than he is about showing little consideration or respect to people who support him week in week out.

A couple of weeks ago this looked like the fixture to get our season going at the Mem. Now with a new manager and a win against the cheats under their belts, I can't help getting the feeling that we're not playing Newport at the right time. Wycombe have won once and drawn once in their last 8 games, I think the fact that they are so shockingly bad has as much to do with Newport's win as the new manager does. I think Newport are still there for the taking, but I think we made a mistake in rearranging the Wycombe game.

Haven't had a chance to keep up with the football today but had a feeling Rovers would win (away, again!) and Wycombe would lose so had a fiver double on Rovers and Stevenage (result and BTTS) - returned £178. Well would you bloody believe it? What a result. Praise be Matty T.

Jamie Lucas scores for Boreham wood again Big fan of DC and even as a very wary, cynical Gashead I trust his decision making almost implicitly but I really can't understand what's happening with Lucas. He came in for the Plymouth game and his flicked header put Ellis through for the penalty (memory is a bit hazy but was it Lucas who headed the ball back across for Harrison in the dying seconds, as well?) and then he's gone again. Seems very strange. Makes me wonder if the budget is that tight that with Bliss back Lucas has to go back out on loan to balance the books. Sad if true.
