Discovered a great set of ear plugs to drown out that bloody awful racket coming from the speakers before the game. Some may call it music, but not many. Nick please come back!!! This is what happens when we win!

Last night Twentyman had a "guest speaker " the first on, who said, I didn't like Coughlins team, they just won one nil all the time. Just like to say there was just one 1-0 win in the league. Away at Lincoln. So if you are the person that was on the phone...…..wrong Who is Coughlin or is that wrong too?

When is the next election for the SC representative on the board? Hopefully we can elect a new rep and resolve this problem Only if the SC want to appoint one. Sounds like they are standing by their man for now. I understood the position was by election and held for a term. When is his current term up? If it's not soon, can the membership move to have him impeached?

In your opinion, not mine. It’s naive to list those managers, they may have done it at higher level, but that would have been with players of the likes we would never see at Bristol Rovers. They are also the ilk of manager we would never see here either. You do realise Warnock has managed the likes of Gainsborough Trinity, Burton Albion, Scarborough, Notts County, Torquay United, Plymouth Argyle, Oldham, Bury and recently said about his next role: "I might have to go to League Two or something like that, but why not? It doesn't bother me what division I am managing in," he added in an interview with BBC Radio Wales breakfast. I haven't lived on another planet during Colin's career!

I thought yesterday was a step in the right direction, ok far from the improvement we want, but still a start towards improvement. When you get in a rut you go back to getting the basics right and build from the back. Pleased to see a return to a back four and we got the clean sheet. If we can concentrate on consolidating that work in the next couple of games, then I expect to see more building of how we go forward and hopefully more expansive football. In all honesty, even in the play off zone I thought we were fortunate to be there and playing the way we were was never going to have longevity and certainly would never work a division higher. Coughlan was right, he had taken us as far as he could, I think he was being honest. If we are to be successful we have to do it playing the right way otherwise it is just not sustainable. I have a suspicion and hope that Garner is on the right track. Turn up and back him.. The "coughlan method" worked perfectly well higher up the ladder for numerous managers including warnock,allardyce and pulis. Its fine to dislike that method but nonsense to say it "would never work higher". In your opinion, not mine. It’s naive to list those managers, they may have done it at higher level, but that would have been with players of the likes we would never see at Bristol Rovers. They are also the ilk of manager we would never see here either.

We have had a tough run of fixtures along with all the manager upheaval and several injuries. All that together means we are not picking up the points. Of course Steve, we should be doing more and creating more at home especially. Fleetwood were another very well -organised team, who can also play a bit. They've only lost 7 this season and you could see why. And yet if the pen had been tucked a way we would have had 3 pts. I would expect us to get some wins against teams in the bottom half of the table and when we can get a settled 11 on the pitch we can also turn over some of the big boys. There were a few promising signs out there - Davies, new keeper, Ginnelly's pace to utilise. But somebody in the Taylor mould upfront would be great ! So when do you think our next win is coming against a bottom half team? Bolton totally outplayed us at home, Tranmere away won't be easy, Shrewsbury are usually also well marshalled, not until we play Rochdale at home on 28 March do any games against bottom half sides look any easier than yesterday's opponents. Not even sure Taylor would have made much difference yesterday as he would have most likely been played instead of Barrett in a deep lying No 10 position. Yeah, we’re doomed! 🙄

Disagree with your title. Everything to look forward to. I enjoyed the game yesterday, it was a good 0-0 as they go.
Garner is on a rebuild because, as I've said elsewhere, what we were doing was unsustainable. He's trying to turn us into footballing side and I applaud him for that and look forward to the games ahead.
Some people on here seem to enjoy the doom and gloom periods and are totally incapable of being positive.
Back this, turn up and support what Garner is trying to do.

And it didn’t last. Cracks were appearing before Coughlan left. Towards the end, sometimes we got lucky, sometimes we got found out. It was not sustainable. If you want promotion then you have to do it playing football that will keep you up there when you get there, otherwise it’s false dawn a big blow to the club. How do you get to the conclusion it didnt last, GCs last game we beat Ipswich away to go 4th, boxing day we went 1 nil up to go second at that point before the shambles in the second half which has pretty much stayed since. Because you could see opposition teams figuring it out and it becoming less and less effective, we were heading towards the bubble bursting and GC knew he couldn't take it further and said so. I admire him for his honesty.

It wasnt pretty at times but it was effective. And it didn’t last. Cracks were appearing before Coughlan left. Towards the end, sometimes we got lucky, sometimes we got found out. It was not sustainable. If you want promotion then you have to do it playing football that will keep you up there when you get there, otherwise it’s false dawn a big blow to the club.

Funny our last goals from open play were at Ipswich, and Coughlin was in charge. I personally think Green should have kept the same players and tactics until the end of the season. Making changes now, and trying new formations and tippy tappy football isn't going to work mid season. Think we can already put this season down as lower mid table. Coughlan. Green?
