If Mansell leaves the club because of Garner I'll be f*cking livid.
I too would feel the same especially what Mansell has done in his time with us. I don't think it will come to that anyway, BG will be gone unless he pulls off a masterstroke tomorrow night and we beat the mackems. It's funny, I know I shouldn't say it but if we lose its another nail in the coffin but another nail for starnes to pull back out. UTG
The thing is, I don’t have much confidence that Garner will motivate the lads in the dressing room at half time. At least with Coughlan, if we had a bad first half, I would have some confidence that we would come out, change things up and look a little better. Can’t say the same at the moment.
Motivation and confidence is a bit part of any sport. I only played at a low level but I know how much team spirit and motivation and a team playing for each other can make a huge difference. BG does not seem to build that mentality.
And that is why DC done so well in his first two promotions, oh how we miss his passion.
Christ alive, I'm listening to the commentary and heard the ice cream van in our street. It's a bit early for that isn't it. Anyways it sounds better than our performance.
Not a bad footballer, lovely lad but certainly not a captain. Too quiet and once we go a goal down there's no ' come on let's get back into this' from him or any of them to be honest. Craig should be captain, vocal, passionate and gives out a bollicking when needed. UTG
No way OC would leave us this late of a transfer window and not even in a January window! The boys Gas and has more loyalty unlike Taylor and co.
Hard to refuse a championship club if they came knocking even if your loyal to the team. It’s like a rival firm offering you a promotion, better salary and better working conditions. Unlikely to turn that down are you?
All depends on certain things, if your happy where you are, prefer to stay in the area and whether you can make that step up.
Hang on, is that right, Mensah, this is Bernard Mensah, was on a staggering amount? I find that hard to believe to be honest, if that is true, DC must have been off his rocker to pay him big bucks, I can't believe it to be honest. Nichols would have been on much much more than Mensah.
Reported by gashead1981 as being on 1.5k which could easily pay for a couple of new signings that are young and out to prove a point.
If that is true, agreed that is staggering for the amount he played for us, I've even forgot what he looks like 😂 Better gone whatever
I think the new players will be rather cheap. Mensah was allegedly on a staggering amount so perhaps they’ve been covered by this? Can’t imagine we’re saving too much on Tommy N. Most are loans though so we’ll be paying a percentage which could be as low as 0%, I doubt we’re paying full whack

I cannot see us letting him go without signing a recognised goal scorer. Shall we just have a little faith in BG and TW to get someone in? After all, they might just working hard behind the scenes to achieve that. UTG
Crikey, all that trust. That is what normally hurts the most, the continuous let downs.
Only a bit of positivity in what is a generally negative subject. UTG
If JCH leaves after midday and we haven't signed a replacement by then, it'll be Abraham's &/or Reilly starting upfront tomorrow!

Yes he does play much better with a strike partner alongside him, one recognised striker up front at home is inexcusable. Maybe it's just he's not happy playing for BG, you have to remember that Nichols is a very popular player in the dressing room and maybe the players aren't happy how Nichols has been treated. Could that be what our form is like it is? To be honest I'd cash in on JCH and if Cardiff are interested and have been watching then let him go, his heart doesn't in for me.
Perhaps January may reveal why GC decided on his move, what ever reason from our board or enforced silence from GC the January transfer window does not lie. Personally not too bothered by his departure because the majority of games i have seen this season have been dire and we have been very lucky in some and that luck has to run out sometime, sadly our squad is nowhere near Championship quality. I hope i am wrong and we continue scraping results but cannot see it happening. UTG !
I totally agree, most of the games I've watched this season have been dross but he did grind out results and got us up to fourth, in league one too but I am the same, not bothered at all and feel he wasn't liked by our fanbase. It was always going to be difficult for him following DC and MS, with the success over the 4 years in charge. The next appointment has to be spot on. UTG
He’s brought back the buzz, excitement and everyone on be same side.
It’s been many a year since I’ve experienced an atmosphere quite like today’s. Before the game kicked off, there’s bloke’s with their tops off all jumping around to Allez allez allez super Darrell Clarke. We sold out the away end at Northampton with many in the home end.
The Darrell Clarke factor has bit us badly.
I thought we were supposed to start off crap though? 😉
Haha maybe it was just us he started crap with!
Honestly I'm delighted for you guys but more importantly DC. The guy will manage at the top one day so enjoy him whilst hes there!
Legend and in my eyes our best ever manager. It still hurts that hes not here.
He'll say it how it is. Scrappy away win? DC will say its scrappy but away from home it's the scrappy kinda win you need. Heck, teams going for promotion win the scrappy games away from home. I'm sure you guys will be at the right end of the table this season.
I managed to watch it on it Instagram, I noticed the picture on page 1 of this thread and it said ukfirmsvids, so I searched on Instagram and it came up with it, videos of them spray painting at the mem.
