It is a sorry state that the club and the majority of the fans have no ambition but are happy to wallow in the glory of 2 promotions which are now history, can non of you look forward and see that we are going nowhere other than mid / low table league one side. but it seems that is what everyone is happy with

We cant commercially compete with championship clubs in any way no matter who the manager is. |

Somebody better hurry up and tell top 6 clubs Shrewsbury & Scunthorpe fans they won't be going up anytime soon, given there ground don't even have 10,000 capacity's. If we are stuck in Div 1 for the next 5 or 10 years how about we target cup games instead of seemingly so no interest to progress. |

What you will find is a vast majority that are grateful we are where we are rather than where we could have been had Wembley gone the other way. What you seem to be unable to grasp is that not everyone expects us to waltz through this league whilst the club is in its current state. Obviously we have shortcomings at present we can all see that but to suggest changing the best manager we've had for years is the way to rectify that is frankly nonsense. |

Forget bournemouth as they have had massive financial backing from their owners. Its of course possible to have a yeovil,burton or maybe shrewsbury this season type of promotion,it could have been us last year. But those clubs cant compete realistically for very long so until we get a new ground and discover if we really do have potential to become an established championship club then promotion would be just a lovely short term joy. |

DC said prior to the match that the gap between the top L2 and L1 sides is close compared with the gulf between L1 and championship. Would hate for us to get promoted as we would get f**ked in the Championship. Do we have any players that could play in the Championship ? |

A new ground has got to be a minimum of 5 years away if we ever start building stands one by one, are we really going to survive just as a mid table club for that length of time plus how does SH/DC sell that to potential new players, or even Bodin. Locks & Harrison? |

My worry is that DC really doesn't know how to move things on playing-wise from league 1 mid-table mediocrity. Defensive recruitment was woeful and it seems there was no-one around to advise him. Either that, or he is too insecure to recruit players or staff that might just know more than him. I wonder if he has a fear of being undermined. But we can't deny sometimes the Rovers have been excellent this season. However IMO we are not hard to beat with the current tactical policy and players, and if the opposition is only slightly "on-song".

DC, during the post match interview, said the team collectively are weak get bullied and do not defend well, no sh*t sherlock. Dc said he is ruthless, will make changes, "in a few weeks", ffs if he waits that long, we could be in big trouble. Without the snake or Bodin we have no goals in the team. For me the way forward is stop talking about projects and talk about a team that if you play well you will stay in the side. And for starters play Marc Bola, Rollin Meayese along side Tom Broadbent and Dominic Telford and lets have a look at Ryan Broom. Definitely time to drop out of form Tom Lockyer and Ryan Sweeney.

Without going back and counting them all it was about 80% of home games and about 60% of away games more than that in league 2 how about you |

Locks & Harrison? A pretty sad state of affairs really - but it is what it is - and this may well have been one of the problems DC had in the close season. I think the board will now have problems selling this situation to DC if by any chance someone comes sniffing for his services - and frankly could any one blame him if he decides to move. IMO, UWE was our last chance for having a real sustainable go for The Championship in the next couple of years - as you suggest we've been put back at least five years even assuming the Mem is redeveloped. |

Would you really want to see that all come back by sacking a manager who has brought success with him like Trollope? I think I did just about every home game that season (I missed Bath city at home in the FA trophy, thank goodness for that!) |
