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 How can supporters have ambition. We can only watch what is provided the rest is hopes and dreams. |

Bored of our tactics, bored of our players, bored of our stadium, bored at us never improving anything. Season ticket for 20 odd years but feeling we’ve reached our level and the only way is back down again! Flat and disillusioned and I’m blaming the money men for their false dawn! I should have known better with our experiences but I finally thought things were going to change! The lack of hope is the killer! Meh.....

I personally blame the people that went to the West Ham game. For everything? Bit harsh. Ok most things  . Read a lot but don't post a lot on here. God it's a depressing place following a loss. Win next week and it's the opposite on here!! Joys of following the gas |

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 ? Right now you would only think billy bodin and maybe liam sercombe? |

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? This is why the evolution thing dosnt quite add up to me. |

Until he got shafted by Sainsburys we were looking good for a new stadium. When the new owners came in, can we honestly say...."oh great!! Now we can get that new training ground!!" No. We thought that this new multi millionaire would start spending some serious money on players to get us out of Div 1, and if necessary bankroll us while we sort a decent stadium out. Hence the surge in season ticket sales! It would appear the new owner has as much or maybe even less ambition than the previous board. I think Bill Dodgin had more ambition after the south stand burnt down! I'm getting a Paul Trollope feeling coming on... |

The most worrying thing is that from his latest interview DC doesn't seem to have a clue what to do about the inconsistency.
As he says, the buck stops with him as he assembled these players but he has done more than enough to be given the chance to rectify this, not be sacked at the first bump in the road.

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. I was a bit concerned that "a few weeks" referred to the January transfer window - I'd prefer to give the likes of Meayese a couple of games before then. |

If we sacked DC and brought Grayson in I would seriously have to consider if it's worth going anymore. |

I am happy with just waking up on Saturday mornings to see it in the football league. It could be a massive amount different without DC. History is what makes the club, this club, any club, not a projection of the future according to a few deluded fans. Going nowhere? I think not, your views are just as valid but you can get instant gratification here........http://shop.mancity.com/stores/mancity/en/c/football-kits Otherwise, just get out, support the gas and hope that DC doesn't leave, that is a scenario which I for one would not want. As for Grayson, what could he offer over God? |

I am continually hearing opinions from a divided club. I am sure some of these views are not from people who have the best interests of Bristol Rovers at heart. It wasn't just DC which led our rebirth from non league but a unity throughout the club. We signed up to having our Rovers back warts and all. If we want to progress we need to unite again. Players, staff and fans. Lets do this. UTG!!

Our frustration is perhaps magnified as many of us expected a quicker change due to the wealth of our new owners, the failure of UWE and a dip in form following two promotions. |

Yes he has made mistakes but who doesn’t. We need stability and realism as even Holloways 99-00 side who were the most talented i have seen didn’t make it to the championship. We have 1 player in our squad who could play at a higher level and ge will be off. Without investment DC is performing miracles staying in this league. |

You can't blame Clarke he has not had much money to spend. You gotta Larf. Clarke has spent half a million in recent times on players, which is about half a million more than JW on his return. He also has a higher budget than JW had, so get a bit closer with the facts please. One of the biggest issues for a manager in our position is the ability to spend money wisely. DC doesn't know players at our level, never mind at Leeds level. He badgered the board for money to buy a player near to his home, and when told he could go ahead, he bottled it. He is now leaving his comfort zone. |
