I have had some Very Disappointing days following the Gas - Can't say this one comes anywhere near. absolutely toddy. Looks like we're hanging on to our best player also.

Think of keeping Bodin as signing a player like Bodin having not had him before and you'll feel a hell of a lot better

Maybe work in progress four hours to go! Four hours to go you never know! Keeping Billy Bob is the main thing, I'm happy. Billy is better than any potential signing we could have made, so happy too.

Well if 5 wins from 7 games is masking a problem lets hope the same masking continues all season. It would leave Rovers on approx. 99 points. You seem to be overlooking the fact we have played four league games and won two and lost two. As far as I am aware cup games don't add points to your league total. That would equate to 69 points at the end of the season, if our present league form continues. Shame no one told DC the cup games were pointless. Although, personally, a couple of goals each for Harrison, Sercombe, Telford, Broom and two more for Billy were worth something, plus the game time for a few others; and I'd say winning away at a championship team must do something for the boys. In answer to the original point of this thread I've just one question, When were Rovers ever not a selling club? Today is seminal in my lifetime.

Disappointing but not surprising - I really don't feel the owners are prepared to invest more than is absolutely necessary to msintain 1st division status. The club is not equipped infrastructure wise to even think about Championship Football. As long as they can retain the status quo through the team without spending vast amounts of money they will be reasonably comfortable until they decide what they want to do with our club. I would imagine DC must be totally frustrated but I have to question.why he decided to release Montano when clearly we are seriously lacking in that position and he was unable to attract the players he wanted to the club. Looks to me that funds were just not available - money talks unfortunately in this business.

I think that the marque signings that the Chairman talked about haven't really materialised but I guess that was more about selling season tickets. DC also talked about a greater number of signings but the market for permanent and then loan signings has not totally worked out for him.
That said I am delighted that BB remains with us but I am also very interested to see if any of the development squad can progress and become part of the first team squad.
I am sure DC will have some ideas for January dependant on where we are in the league and I don't knock him for keeping back funds for that.

I think people are being a bit harsh on Steve here. We all have different transfer hopes, although I think we'll all agree we are happy that Billy B has not left (yet). It is understandable to be wary of injuries during the closed window. It was not long ago that Sinclair had been injured for long periods, and considering he played in Leadbitters position recently I think it is fair to want some extra cover in weaker areas. We have no pace on the left wing, which is fine because it is working right now but it also leaves the team vulnerable to predictability playing it down the middle. I can see why people would be disappointed not having a winger. So, although I am happy with no transfers - let's try to see things from another perspective

What perspective? We generate huge amounts of cash flow to fund great players and back up in every position? Really?

Looking through my rose-tinted glasses I assume that there would be nothing to stop us signing free agents next week on a contract or non-contract basis - if it was felt desirable to.

We have had the whole summer to get a decent defensive midfielder and a winger and yet we leave it to the last minute as usual and then the usual excuses. i find your lack of faith disturbing

So have far bigger clubs than Bristol Rovers. I trust DC to do the right thing. As long as we keep hold of Bodin, I am sure DC knows what he's doing. He keeps proving the doubters and forum managers wrong. Time and again.

Thanks in advance.Quite right Mr Moderator. I think Steve has gone a little over the top with his reaction but no need for nasty personal stuff like that Oldie.

My God. When did we become a self help group for manic depressives? Sure we won 5-1 a few days ago, don't need to sell our best player, have a decent development squad, have won our last 4 and other managers praise our squad, team ethos and we have Stoke praising our style of play etc. But hey ho, let's find a reason to flog ourselves. I want more!! Actually your right...stay cool Steve
