Big Jock and Tilly.You both all right? Yes, thanks for asking. My Mum passed away before Christmas, and I've been a bit off kilter since then, been reading the Forum but haven't really felt like posting. Sorry for your loss, Tills

Hope you dont mind Wally, but I quoted this in a reply to that tweet from the club. Couldn’t improve on what you said. No problem at all mate. I've emailed gorringe everything I've said on here. I hope someone takes the graph posted previously, along to the planned supporters club meeting at the end of this month. In fact what I'd do is put them on every seat at the meeting then walk out and allow the owners to view and see what a massive mistake they have made. That’s a great idea - I’m going to try to get to the meeting if I’m not working.

Quit being a cheapskate. I bet people whinging about it still spend money on sky tv and scratchcards. Every pound spent goes to the club. This isn’t a charity. We don’t want fans who want it on the cheap. There’s plenty more who will be happy to pay for entertainment. If 50 new children can come and watch the gas next season for £15 like Shrewsbury have done then il pay whatever they want me to pay for my adult season ticket next year. Charge me what you want and il make other sacrifices in my life to attend. But don't make the cheapest season ticket for a 5 year old to stand in some of the worst facilities in the football league £129. That is unforgivable and a massive massive own goal by this football club yet again. It's getting to the point where I can't forgive the mistakes these owners are making now. Hope you dont mind Wally, but I quoted this in a reply to that tweet from the club. Couldn’t improve on what you said.

It really is, shows how out of touch the Club is from the fan base. If the board had young children, they would understand that it's not a cheap day out, my 11 year old has an adult meal and if we get an East stand seat for him to come occasionally its £20, glad he plays for an academy! No they wouldn’t, they’re millionaires, ffs

For those of you who keep banging on that he just crosses his arms and watches the game. If you were listening tonight, like if you stand behind him on the East terrace, you'd have heard him shouting instructions all night to his players in the background behind Sheridan's waffle or the home commentary. Can't remember if anyone has said this on the forum but it has definitely been said on the socials. Sorry but what a load of sh**e. Guy is the biggest talker we've had since at least Coughlan, possibly further than that. I said this the other day on here - every home game I stand on the east terrace between the dugouts and he is constantly cajoling, encouraging & directing his players. Very animated.

“full backing” - that’s what we call a part-time asst manager and no scouting network now, is it? Our assistant manager is full time. I do apologise - I meant Wayne Carlisle, not McAllister

It's a nothing letter without anything of substance. Talk is cheap. How do we expect to build a "competitive first team" when we don't have any scouting or recruitment support staff? Unbelievable it hasn't been addressed yet. "We are committed to providing Matt with full backing and the resources needed to make this vision a reality". As always at this football club, I'll believe it when I see it! “full backing” - that’s what we call a part-time asst manager and no scouting network now, is it?

I think there are much more pertinent and worrisome things to bother about, maybe do something about over a stupid chant but that’s me. What next, we live in a nanny state as it is. That bothers me more than any song/chant Great idea! "When I was young, I had no sense, I bought a flute for 50 pence, The only tune, I could create, Was f**k the city and the Nanny State!" You’re on a roll here . . .

We've got Mono Matty Taylor, He's trying to figure what we need, Costa Rican at the back, Marquis in attack, Whilst the players actually need 3 grams of speed.. Aaaahhhh - haaaahhhh - haaaahhhhh . . . That made I spit me drink out!!! Simon, that was class 😁

I'm not convinced we will end the season with him in charge now .... if this sh**e footballing lack of effort continues he will be gone in March and then the owners son will probably step in and try and keep us in L1. Talk of a huge hike in season ticket prices as well for next season - Fans are truly being tested by this awful new leadership regime. This bunch of clowns are going to be the literal death of our club

How motivated would you be at work if the boss kept repeating you were useless? I don't believe they are mentally weak, they just can't cope with the physical nature of the game, which is hardly their fault. To be fair to Taylor, he didn’t say they were useless, or that it was the players’ fault. He just pointed out that they are collectively not able to cope with the more physical teams in this league, which we can all see with our own eyes. Yes, we do have individual players like C Taylor, Finley, Conteh, Martin, etc who are up to it and up for it, but that’s not enough, which is why we keep losing to the teams below us. The fact is that most of the players we currently have were brought in to play tippy-tappy, out from the back, possession-based football; it’s not their fault that half the teams in this league will knock you all over the park while you’re trying to do that.

I don’t get this gaschat fact of Taylor not being interested. Stood behind the dugout he was far from sulking. Encouraging the players as best as he could. Far more vocal than JB ever was. Couldn’t go today as I’m at work until midnight, but every game I’ve seen so far under Taylor he’s been on the touchline constantly directing, encouraging and giving instruction to the players pretty much all game.

We and Matt are learning so much about this squad of players. Many have been given a chance today to impress and just maybe not taken their opportunity. We have some talent not available today and when they are I’m sure we play better. Time for cool heads, for sure, but today has not been a performance we need to see, whatever the final result. I get the feeling that MT isn't going to get the time Barton had from the fans. Many Barton fans want him gone already. Rovers fans have certainly changed. Doesn’t make a scrap of difference does it? It’s down to what our esteemed owners want, you know, the ones that failed to get us a striker . . .

It’s not short - it’s just the way we sing it unfortunately - in a very lazy manner , needs more oomph ! 💙 It’s synonymous with Rovers and something the 82 are jealous AF of. Sung properly, it’s the pledge we make to the club. The first part is that pledge. Needs to be sung with gusto and at right pace Absolutely bang on Jools - I hate it when the Thatchers yoof mangle the verse so it goes from “So, goodnight Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams” to “G’nyereeseeyimmadree”. It’s disrespectful.

"Sometimes I have a great notion to jump in the river and drown". We just can't have something that glorifies suicide. The young uns with their ticky toky fun videos are showing us the way. This is what we should sing, it shows the team that we have belief and is lots more encouraging: I was hoping this was sarcasm . . .

We could change the colour of the kit? That proved to be a popular opinion in the past. Aha - the return of the Red kit question?
