Sorry guys & gals im not sure if this is the appropriate thread thread really? I had no interest in the game today as my brother passed away last night. Iβm devestated he was a true gashead for 50 years +, Iβm not after sympathy I just wondered how I would go about getting his name mentioned at next weeks game? I will be there out of respect for him, another true gashead gone the tote end in the sky! Would anyone be able to put in touch with the right person for a shout out next week? Please PM if you can? UTG. Sorry to hear that. π₯ Usually it would be Keith for the programme and nick day for the PA. Now it's best to try Dylansmart@bristolrovers.co.uk for the programme and Lance Cook for the PA. Lance is on twitter. If I can find his number / email in my contacts I'll PM you.

Amadou Bakayoko sounds like a Poundland signing. Still, that's better than last year, Nichols is Charity Shop. Amadou Bagayoko (note slightly different spelling) is a pretty famous blind singer / guitarist. No jokes please...

Why donβt we sign doidge, bagged 2 today FGR want Β£1m+ for him. Not a chance of us signing a player for that money. And nor should we. We've got to do a posh and almost set our stall out that we are a feeder / development club for clubs higher up the food chain. Be open that we are good at getting bargains, improving them & then letting them go to higher teams with higher wages. We might as well openly admit it rather than hide it under a bushel. Then attract players on that understanding until we get a stadium / trg ground where we can keep hold of them & make them want to stay

One goal. Meltdown averted momentarily. Hmmm. No points though for a late goal.

Doidge scoring for fun today - surely the Harrison and Bodin funds should go towards a marquee signing or are we in for a winter of discontent? Adds a few more quid to the asking price! Doesn't sound like they'd given DC the required money for even signing a player from Forest Green anyway. Looks like we'll only be able to afford other peoples cast offs. At the risk of sounding obvious, for a club like us the time to pick up Doidge was a couple of years ago & give him a try. Or maybe when his contract runs out / down, but even then it's a bit late for VFM. Pointless buying a player on fire, 1 div below us. That's just not us at the moment (well, hardly ever has been).

Gone quiet on the game front in the last couple of minutes. What's happening? In modern parlance it sounds like 'game management'. 2-0 up. Posh don't need to do anything. And they're doing nothing quite well π Also very hot TBF.

Craig was absolute class last season. Nichols I'll give you. All about opinions. Yeah, only opinions. I thought Craig was weak in the air, slow, weak against a big man and non existent at organising the back 4. What little I saw of him I'd give him a bit of the final point but agree with the first 3. He seems to know the dark arts but those will be negated in some games, when his weaknesses are exposed in other ways (e.g. height or pace). A very strange signing. Very old school signing - experience but not sure what else. And very much against our usual transfer policy - a long contract for an older guy & said he'd come for game time (clearly expects it, and gets it). Mass majority of Lge 1 teams seem to have 2 big, physical CBs. Physiology of CBs has changed a lot since Craig was a lad. He's very small really. The only 1 we have is young & mysteriously has hardly got used since the winter.

Ha, Hamer just used another aircraft analogy, 'Peterborough are like a big jumbo jet.' Beat me to it. He loves an aerial analogy.

Hamer on radio - "95% finalised a player for Monday.
He's a big lad. I think we need height"
Dare I suggest that news was mentioned now (2-0 down - 30 mins left) due to th feeling of pressure ...

What annoys me is that defending counts as part of the game.
And scoring goals.
If only the midfield counted we'd be fine. π€

Judging by the mood on here the last few weeks haven't we been relegated already? I'm waiting for 25th to be added to the poll

Waelβs first word was thank you and the words inshallah (god willing) and yanni (you know) were used a lot! Was there any mention of Devante Cole? He talks about the unemployment system in the Eastern Mediterranean a lot. Levante Dole

Would anyone like to see Tom Nichols with his head shaved? Would look like a new player and might scare the opposition as a potential "hardman". Would stop all this playing around with his hair during games. Big gamble Samson lost all his power when Delilah cut off his locks. Nichols would lose all of his... Oh... Er, yeah

Iβm not sure they realised the size of the job that they encountered. Iβm sticking by them in the hope rather than expectancy that they will deliver. I think the unexpected promotion in their first year bought them some time. There was such a feel-good factor about the place but a couple of years on and we are all sitting and waiting for the next step. At the minute, it feels like if anything, the step might be backwards. No new stadium, best players sold, no training ground etc. You could argue though that the unexpected promotion raised expectations, leading to more pressure on off the pitch issues.

When I saw the thread title I thought we were being asked to help erect the stands.
Or will that be next week?

Another pointless management role imo. DC said that he and Widdrington had given the owners our list of targets. As yet nowt has happened. I can understand a club like Peterborough having a head of recruitment (although they seem to be doing quite nicely as it is) whereas for us given how sporadic we are in making signings it seems like another waste of a wage that could go towards the playing budget. I'm sorry, but this absolute nonsense. Apart from the manager, the 'head of recruitment' or 'chief scout' has to be one of the most important positions at any football club. Agreed. And just because we haven't had one, doesn't mean we shouldn't have had one. Anyway, many clubs have a head coach / director of football arrangement - we don't so a head of recruitment is actually partly filling one of the gaps, just like a DOF fills gaps.
