Vaughan and Connolly coming on …. Mama Mia ! Take off our best striking option and strongest defender … Ok ! Quite bemusing, guess we’re playing for the nil.

Joke of a penalty. Guess it counts as a shot.

On iFollow ooks more like a friendly or JPT attendance. Feels like a friendly, tempted to picture the stands and count the dots tomorrow.

I got the midfield spot on but didn't realise Hunt had joined Wilson on the treatment table yet again! Bomb the pair of them out 4500 here today total crowd?

It's easy to say let's get rid of pretty much everyone as we can do better but the reality is this isn't football manager and recruiting a completely new squad in a single window isn't feasible. If as has been reported the playing budget is likely to be reduced then keeping players like Hoole & Gordon who aren't likely to be big earners & also have the potential to improve makes absolute sense. Both of them have rarely been injured which is another consideration after the season we've had. I'm probably contradicting myself but although Rossiter has missed so much football I think he makes such a difference he's worth the gamble. Obviously budget will play a big part in who we keep and what we can offer but a fit Rossiter wouldn't be at Rovers, I'd make an exception in his case If Hoole and Gordon have the potential to improve why have neither improved in the last couple of seasons? The fact they were both dropped and we score and win our first game for weeks surely suggests neither is up to L1 football, and I doubt they ever will be, if we do release them you can virtually guarantee they won't get contract offers from any other clubs in L1. I think Lewis has improved, he’s a consistent 6.5 player, if he ups his game slightly he’d be really good, problem is what he has he had infront of him all season. I think he’s the least of our worries.

I've always been impressed with Hoole. Every game I've seen him he's been one of the top performers. Don't get all the scepticism around him, I think he has real potential. You must be watching different games than me then, he's an average defender, and worse than Leadbetter when going forward, this season in particular I can't recall him putting one decent cross into the box. I thought the last couple of home games he’s looked more than ok, got forward and found space, rather him than Hunt.

How many goals did Cox cost before he was dropped? Ward also made some decent saves Tuesday night. Ward's mistake was school boy stuff, Cox never had any issues organising a defensive wall. Hopefully he's learnt his lesson and won't make any mistakes this afternoon. 🤞 Got to be honest, I was inline with the wall and haven’t bothered to watch any replays from Tuesday for obvious reasons.

Not seen his performance as I’m at the park, but if he can prove his fitness, I’d give him a contract, he’s looked genuinely happy the last two games warming up and committed also a team member, unlike certain subs I’ve seen warming up alone this season, It’s also not bad to be playing today as originally he wasn’t expected back this season. He also looked good last year after his first few games.

No, don’t understand why cox is playing considering the new contract given to Ward. Can’t see us buying him. Ward cost us a goal in the last game, Cox deserves a game like any other loan player. How many goals did Cox cost before he was dropped? Ward also made some decent saves Tuesday night.

Let's not forget the board gave him £500k in the January window . He failed to sign a striker with the cash and most of the players he signed as been dropped. People forget that the bottom 10 clubs would dream of having this sort of money and resources to sign 3 4 5 players in a window. What would cheltenham do with up to £500k in a window ?. He signed Conteh who looks a good bet. The loans were suck it and see. Also Friend is the transfer maestro so not just on Taylor. So let’s wait and see The loans have barely played, or have done nothing, Conteh yes looks good, but then has he got lucky with that signing, guy shouldn’t be trusted in a sweet shop.

Why wait, get someone in now to get the crowds back, even if it’s just for the last four games. Holloway maybe? I’d take Byron and Jak until the end of the season, far more enthusiasm than glum. Taylor has got to go before he ruins next season. but the flip side is how long we take to replace Taylor with and with whom. Sacking him will probably just mean next season is write off anyway . Are you/other fans prepared to give hypothetical new manager a whole season with the possible excuse of having had a chaotic pre-season? I’d rather someone who showed enthusiasm ala DC , GC than this fool, we’ve a longer break before the new season than usual, tbf Taylor was obviously the last choice. I’d take mid table over Taylor relegating us, the guys a depressing joke. His pressers is almost like he wants to be sacked like JB.

Wait til the end of the season, Cheltenham will go down and we’ll nick DC, knowing us we’ll get GC back (still a better option) Why wait, get someone in now to get the crowds back, even if it’s just for the last four games. Holloway maybe? I’d take Byron and Jak until the end of the season, far more enthusiasm than glum. Taylor has got to go before he ruins next season.

Apparently season ticket holders have their attendance counted regardless Can't sell my East stand ticket on anymore via Ticketmaster and had to have an enforced few days away from the world. If the club say 'tickets sold' I wouldn't argue. Saying it's the attendance is wrong. Can I reserve the right to not be counted if I don't go. A bit pedantic I know. East stand v Shrewsbury didn't have a few missing, it was sparse. 1st 2 or 3 rows in my block had more empty seats than occupied. There was nobody near me and my boy on the East last night, tbh I’m struggling to find the motivation to drive home from work and back to Bristol with the boy, that will change when they sack him though. I’ve got more angrier through the day with the performance and his pathetic after match interview, the same dross game after game. Makes you wonder why he applied, I thought Pearson came across bad after matches on Radio Bristol but he’s up and beyond. Also who’s that new guy presenting on Radio Bristol, equally awful with his patronising about the club and fans.

Sack, the crowds have gone, where I stand on the East Terrace was empty last night, the ground looked empty. Mad tactics and constantly changing players around, no idea of a system. The only steady thing about him is his whinging dour tone after every match.

Starts another game with one up front and we wonder why their Keeper hasn’t made a save ! Reading just walk through us, what does Taylor do in training? I’d say he’s got 45 minutes to save his job, guess he doesn’t realise we are the home team.

Christ, I do my fair share of moaning, but it's entirely optional to go watch the team in pre season. And they are for the benefit of the players not really for the supporters. Not sure why some of you are complaining. TBH we’ve been playing like pre season friendlies for the last month so save your money people.
