Can't blame the gaffer, part of the reason any manager gets sent on gardening leave is the players, it's them the cross the white line, so one manager loses his job and another comes in and works with the same players. If it's still crap, who or what is the common denominator?
I'll take a couple of windows to sort this mess out.
Let's hope the recruitment and scouting are getting stuck into their jobs.

Shrewsbury must really fancy this because we are ripe for them to get 3 points on the road.
About time we turned up...no idea what we will get today

Manager clueless team totally lacking motivation. Keeper- Not strong enough or tall enough Non league standard Full backs both League Two standard Hoole and Gordon Centre halves Taylor and Wilson look totally disinterested Midfield we have some decent players but with only one player up front they have little to do but to defend. Tactics under Taylor are a total embarrassment. Owners- A bag of wind started with the 1m JCH scandal and I have seen nothing to make me believe anything other than League 2 football looking a lot closer than the Championship. With the football shown under Taylor there will be no need for any increased capacity.Clueless from top to bottom. So a lot to be excited about then

Nobody wants this poisoned chalice so I might as well start. What version of Taylor ball is going to turn out today. Bolton away version or Lincoln away? With a few more bodies back I’m hoping for the former with a nervous 2-1 win after going 1 down. Evans to star hopefully. UTG. 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️ It doesn't matter who starts it, the result will be the same. 1-1 I hope we have put the time out on the grass to good use and leant how to defend

At least move it to general chat. He’s got sod all to do with Rovers. Please don't contaminate General Chat. 😶 Fair enough, Gentleman’s Lounge with other filth then?

At least they now get the best part of 2 weeks on the training ground with no match. let's hope they put that time to good use From past experience we'll lose a couple of players to injuries and then play the first 20 mins or so as if the players met just before the kick off, I've never known us play well after an extended break. You really are Mr Optimistic

The famous one is Mansfield in 2014 at home when the relegated us out of the league on the last day of the season….. they’d brought the wrong kit and it was deemed a clash by the ref so we had to lend them our away shirts…. (or in my head I think that’s one!?!) I forgot that one!

After last nights WSL debacle over socks, here’s one…
What game did we lend the opposition our away kit? 2000’s? One of the first home games in the season from memory?
Date, team, result?

South Stand Ultras? Really? That’s just embarrassing!
Some fans should have experienced the days of non segregation where largely fans had to respect each other a bit more…obviously not everyone…but you certainly couldn’t chant what you wanted from the safety of your own zone.

On paper and in reality Derby were going to be the better side and they were, but we really did not help ourselves out there. Lack of care of the ball in possession, too many times we gave it away cheap, some inexplicable hopeful long balls but also some really careless passes or choice of passes. Gift after gift to a Derby side who were already going to be a big enough challenge. And another bug bearer of mine. Why do we (and other teams) play wide players on their unnatural side? Later in the second half we finally saw Vale on the left and Sinclair on the right and actually got some balls into the box wide in the final third. I just don't get why teams do it! So players can cut in and score with their stronger foot, LT can do it but I've not seen Sinclair nor Vale do it all season. Edit Apart from our last home game! So just a nice idea that doesn't happen. After Sinclair and Vale swapped sides later into the second half we started getting crosses in.

Er - Matty Taylor anyone? Maybe we'll see how our fans react when Azza is down with Bolton - my reaction will be applause prior to the game after his great season and a half and silence about him during the game. Will applaud him as he leaves the pitch at the end of the game. And give him grief when he takes a dive

Definitely affecting local football
Undeniable pattern of mild wet winters which is adding to various issues causing the decline in participation of the 11v11 game at grassroots level
