I don’t really want to go down the Barton road again as I’ll be set upon by the same old faces but I felt he lost interest soon after the new owners come in. I get it bud, Personally I liked Barton but the players did seem to have a lot of time off and yeah something wasn’t right when the new owners came in. But we can only look ahead now and hope for better things to come. UTG Is there any evidence that the players were getting more days off under Barton than they would usually get?

Jones is also one of the favourites for the Rotherham post

Whereabouts in the US are you? Near Charlotte,NC. And no I am not a Panthers fan if anyone cares haha. Vikings are my NFL team. Assumed you were somewhere in the East Coast, a bit too early for beer here on the West!

Myself and some other Americans(Well one is a British expat haha) will be watching with some good beer on hand! Tough way to drop points last time out, but confident we can take all 3 in this one. Key will be to finish our chances when we get them. Whereabouts in the US are you?

Would expect The Gas to win this one, but you always have that .. but we are Bristol Rovers and we mess these type of fixtures up big time. Fingers crossed we see a great performance and the start of a winning run. Medication love, thank you 💊 UTG Continuation of a winning run!

If it's to be Harris, I'd like to see Tony Craig join the coaching team.

What fantastic news this is for Ollie and his family. Giving an academy player an early opportunity to shine or just pick up the atmosphere is just so inspiring. Ollie has been in the academy since he was 9 and has recently been offered a two-year scholarship with the club. He has represented Wales at both u15 and u16 age groups, scoring in the previous fixture against France. Last week Ollie was selected in the Wales u16 squad to participate in the famous Victory Shield competition. Ollie is a forward player who can play down the middle or out wide and likes to play on the shoulder making runs in behind the opposition's back line. What an opportunity for the lad. Great for the lad, even if it's only to soak in the atmosphere and be part of the changing room on matchday. Hoping we continue filling the bench going forward this season. Not sure what the thought was earlier in the season behind not filling the bench.

I just can’t see us signing JCH Well three league one clubs are apparently in for him at the moment, so statistically there's a fair chance we're one of them. When you consider most won't be able to afford him. Not much to suggest we can afford him but I'd love to be proven wrong. A think a club would need to be paying 7 figures and I don't see that club being us.

Think there is, more to it than that as they are now majority shareholders. I can't work it out are these two just the front for the bank, or have we gone from being owned by one family who couldn't finance a new stadium to another one who we haven't got a clue about their wealth? Two families, the Al-Qadi's still own a sizeable portion let's not forget.

Great piece of memorabilia. Would have had him down for size M at most though.

Barton quote: "unless his attitude and application improves in the short term, he will be away from the group for the forseeable"

He was a good player next to Craig and MOTM a fair few times. I think we will regret this and he will go onto better things. I wish the lad well in anything he does from here on in, yet would bet everything I have he doesn’t play higher than league one before he jacks it in. I mean, it's not that likely we'll play any higher by the time he jacks it in either.

Wiki says he hasn’t made an appearance for Stockport. Wiki is wrong. 10 appearances this season in the league.

Are you going to level the same criticism against Brentford and rovers over our potential new signing which has obviously been discussed some time before his loan at Crawley was terminated It's totally different scenarios Brentford have given Crawley a week's notice to get a new keeper in, whereas it seems we were given virtually no warning given that Thomas travelled up with the players for the match. Do you find anything positive about Rovers at present? It's also not unreasonable for the parent club to want the player to be playing at the highest possible level, as is the case with the Brentford/Crawley situation. Thomas being recalled and then sent to a League One rival leaves a bad taste.

For me it's the Oxford cup game I think that's where our season actually kicked off and where things started to click within the side, and to come back the way we did and win the game against a higher opposition it spoke volumes. 2021 I think

Remember one game at the mem which was abandoned after 15 mins for a frozen pitch. Possibly vs Scunthorpe. What year was that as I can't ever recall seeing a Rovers home game abandoned whilst I've been watching them? From an era we all try to forget... www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/7090197.pools-match-abandoned/
