The other Bristol Club must be laughing out loud.Think a lot of us are in despair.Even the Rose Tinters are fast disappearing. Sadly they are now so far ahead of us on and off the field, I doubt they give us much thought at all these days.

Generally enjoy listening to the podcast but what is up with Jack swearing so much in this one? Had to turn it off. Every other word is f**k. Jack - sorry, but in the context of a podcast it makes you sound like a with limited vocabulary. Diddums Come on LJG has made a valid point. The swearing has clearly spoilt something that he normally enjoys listening to.

We really need to start seeing some indication that we are going to be able to hold our own in this league soon. I don't think weal will just let us slide headlong towards the bottom. A transitional period was to be expected, but no wins and two goals in 10 is worrying.

I think having an aim of wanting to play attractive football is admirable and fantastic if achievable,but for me we don't have the players here at this time. True Ben is bringing in players and they hopefully will help towards creating a more attractive style of play. However in the mean time Ben needs to find a way to get the best use of what we have here. At the end of the day football is results based and we need some good results before confidence starts draining out of the side. Ben has a vision of what he wants and I'm all for it, but we need to steady the ship a bit before we start building the grand vision. In short we have to get some points on the board short term before we start building the dream. The thing that worries me about BG is his lack of flexibility I think a managers needs to have more than one plan.

Hope he does well scores a hatfull and away from the unnapreciative rovers fans. His amazing talent will shine through for all to see attracting interest from all corners resulting a lucrative transfer and us getting some of our money back.

Just as this wonderful thread had slipper onto page 2 Bristol Live are still claiming to be ITK.... Barney in Shirehampton asks: Last update, the fruit market situation MIGHT be resolved end of January. Are we about to be enlightened with positive news any time soon? Sam’s reply: We understand the situation is still positive and open, Barney. An offer for the site was presented before Christmas, and it remains on the table, but as with all deals like this there are lots of legal arguments to be had. The buyers wanted a resolution by the end of this month, but it may drag on into February. or in the case of this thread Fibruary.

How do you know that he doesn't care about us and why shouldn't we get sentimental about a player who's goals saved us last season and helped propel us to 4th this season. imho Your post is totally disrespectful of a player who has done so much for this club whatever happens in the future. Respect is, or should be, a mutual concept. It is very easy to consider that that HIS recent demeanour is one of lack of respect for the club (and by its association) the fans. Once a player adopts a lackadaisical attitude to playing for Rovers my respect towards him disappears regardless of previous heroics. No that would be mutual respect and something given to equals I would not expect respect from JCH as he does not know me. However he was totally respectful when he spoke to those of us in the hospitality after the Blackpool game last year. Fair enough, if you cant see past half a dozen poor games from a player who's goals kept us up last season and contributed for our highest position for twenty plus years. Good luck to you and your expectations.

How would we know if he plays better with another recognised striker as we have never had another one since in his time here. This is the problem JCH is our main goal threat the one everyone looks to to score goals and when he's not producing the goods we aren't getting results. Whatever the reason for his lack of form recently we need him to get it back and running him down blaming him for our situation is not going to help. Recognised or not GC always played another striker alongside him, I'd put money on GC knowing how to get the best out of him compared to BG. Agreed I think the influence of GC transformed JCH into the striker he became we just have to hope BG can find a way to get him performing again. I think JCH needs striker, but more importantly another goal threat alongside to take some of the pressure off. JCH has been our main goal threat and with other teams giving him priority should have allowed others chances to chip in with goals this the players we have haven't been able to so it's doubtful any of them will without the JCH's presence.

Yes he does play much better with a strike partner alongside him, one recognised striker up front at home is inexcusable. Maybe it's just he's not happy playing for BG, you have to remember that Nichols is a very popular player in the dressing room and maybe the players aren't happy how Nichols has been treated. Could that be what our form is like it is? To be honest I'd cash in on JCH and if Cardiff are interested and have been watching then let him go, his heart doesn't in for me.

JCH doesn’t care about us and we shouldn’t get attached and sentimental about him. Okay, yes he may care whilst he’s here but when a bigger club comes along he will jump ship like 99% of the others have in the past. He came here because our contract offer was one that would “set him up for life”. How do you know that he doesn't care about us and why shouldn't we get sentimental about a player who's goals saved us last season and helped propel us to 4th this season. imho Your post is totally disrespectful of a player who has done so much for this club whatever happens in the future.

I remember similar comments about Akinde when he was here,but he found his mark elsewhere. Hopefully similar will happen for this guy. Couldn't fault his effort and I wish him all the best. I would suggest we were right about Akinde too. When he was with us, we were in L1. Now, while Akinde has done well at league 2 and conference level, he has never done it at a higher level. That wasn't really my point I don't dispute it was right to release him at the time, but he has done well since. Don't forget we were in league 2 when he was with us he is now playing in league 1. My point was for whatever reason sometimes players may struggle here, but can thrive esewhere and vice versa

Sorry to tell you all.but In two years we will be owned by a new board who have * all but like the club we will be paying rent to play at the mem and then we will be forced out back to twerton with very little chance of returning to bristol the writing is on the wall gasheads. So according to you our current owners are taking us to hell and the new owners are taking us to Twerton. Tough choice.

How far were you from Tulsa (in terms of time, not distance) do you think? I guess around 8-10 hours. It could be 24 hours if aircraft don’t run on time 🤪 In the middle of nowhere

Could have been us if it wasn't for the shyster Wael. Thanks for nothing Waely. I don't really think it ever could have. Much as it pains me to say Bristol sport is a slick professional business. and everything we are not.

I don't think we ever looked a solid bet for promotion. Even at 4th. Performance was not good, hence why people wanted Coughlan out and why attendances were down. To me, it was just a matter of time when the wheels come off, even if Coughlan was still here in charge. We've never ever looked a solid bet for promotion even when we actually won promotion.
