Brian Dutton has been brought in to "identify players from abroad who would suit Rovers' playing style." Ok well that sounds like a start 👍 Do you know Dutton or anything about his knowledge of affordable decent foreign players ? Nope, know nothing. |

DC's philosophy is to treat every game as a different project and pick his team accordingly and its served us well with two promotions and nicely consolidated back in our traditional home of the third tier. I presume you would advocate a change in manager if you don't like his methods? Personally I'm happy to trust him to get things right in the long run with backing from the owners. Two words Alan Pardew Three Words. Are you serious? |

Assuming Leads returns before the end of the season w/o further issues, are we really going to get better than him & Parts? Left back can be sorted as both Brown and Bola are out of contract, CB wise we have Rollin, Locks, Craig and TB do we really need another one plus JC will probably still be here? DCM is a requirement plus a winger whilst Telford must be odds on to sign although I'd release Gaffers and spend the bulk of any transfer funds on his replacement. Yes, I think we probably could do better than Leads and Parts. I also think Bola and Brown could be improved upon. We are well stocked for CB'S, but I don't think they are necessarily of the quality required for a genuine promotion push just yet. Absolutely spot on. |

Not really. Blaming solely the referee just because we lose is a cop out. Of course you can feel agrieved at a bad decision from the referee, but over the course of a 90 minute Football match players make far more. The saying "It evens itself out over a season" is absolute nonsense, it doesn't. Its just a Football cliche. The better teams are more clinical, and like you said don't need to rely on the decisions of a referee to win a Football match. At the end of the day we're not quite good enough, nothing to do with Referee's. You seem to be agreeing with me. I don't think anyone is blaming the referee because we lost. In cases where a decision is clearly wrong and impacts on the outcome of the game (Plymouth) it seems perfectly reasonable to express anger and disappointment at that. I think its the other way round. You've agreed with me. |

Today's result is disappointing, but to be fair our promotion chances ended weeks ago. We simply are not good enough this season and had it not been for Bodin's goals we would have struggled. Last season was similar had we not had the snake we would have struggled. We have a hard working squad, but we lack quality in key areas especially in attack. I think we might struggle next season unless either the forwards we have improve massively or we can bring in quality strikers.

Shrewsbury up there on modest crowds so there are examples of good management.Accrington too will be up next season on miniscule attendances.Higher up Bournemouth and Burnley do well on small crowds.Need more quality all round but agree Locks has reached his pinnacle and won't go higher.Anyway think we can relax now.Neither us or the other Bristol club-sorry forgotten their name-will go up or down.Time to reflect on which youngsters should be given a run out and which players should be released.We all have opinions and all wanted to see Dom Telford start but seems he wasn't the star we thought he'd be.Don't think him,TN or Gaffers are good enough so need to recruit up front and midfield especially. Anyway ,pressure off now so roll on August. Telford not the star we thought he'd be ? Behave , he's hardly had a look in , he could hardly play to his full capability when we were reduced to ten men could he? Daft comment to make |

That’s not a side that’s going to win promotion obviously but its great that we’re still mathematically in it with six games left. DC has worked wonders at our club I just hope there’s enough going on off the pitch to keep him here longer. UTG |

There is no reason why he shouldn't step up another notch next term. Gaffney is nowhere near the standard to push on. We don't know about little Dom, because he has been wasted all season. If Nichols wants a lift anywhere in the U.K., I will be the first in line of possible chauffeurs. |

I was waiting for you to start posting , we've lost a game so like magic you miraculously appear spouting more horse sh** ! After today's game our season is over regardless what the mathematicians say with what we have we are stagnant and need big changes at the club to move us forward in the right direction it seems that me and tbone and one or two others are the only ones who have ambition to move this club forward the rest of you are just happy to wallow in this league as long as you have your precious D C in charge for goodness sake look at the bigger picture |

From now until the end of the season I'd play Broadbent in every game. What the lad needs more than anything else is experience, and you only get that by playing. I also think there is now an opportunity to play some of the youngsters. Just one or two, but once again, the experience would be ideal for them going into next season. This season is effectively over, so planning has to start now for next season. I think the Lockyer/Craig combination lacks physicality, and in Div One we need one big strong centre-half. For me, it has to be Broadbent plus one other for next season. Not only that, but the lad, despite being a gurt big unit, can also play football. Is he your secret love child being you both served in the army..... just saying like  |

Behave , he's hardly had a look in , he could hardly play to his full capability when we were reduced to ten men could he? Daft comment to make I’d start him up front every game left with Harrison to try and build a partnership and offer him a good contract now, yeah I know it’s tapping a player up but a quiet word in his ear about what we could offer him wouldn’t be that bad, tell him if he plays well and scores goals between now and the end of the season the deals on the table. Sign him on a free and hopefully get Nichols out on loan and find a better replacement and we’d be sorted up front I feel. Still need another one maybe two good wide players as we’ve only got one currently and a ball winning midfielder of championship standard likewise a Center half to play alongside Broadbent ( Craig 3 years ago would have been it) Sell Lockyer and have Craig as coach / Center half sub and we’d be ready for play offs next season. Probably harsh on Lockyer and perhaps that’s one statement that’s wrong because I know he’s captain and DC likes him but we would get good money for him and he makes too many mistakes he’s a liability too often for me. How many times have we said this season that he looked solid apart from the mistake for the goal ?. |

If Gordon Ramsay wasn't any good at cooking he'd have struggled to be a Michelin starred chef. If Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't have massive muscles he'd have struggled to be Mr Universe and if Neil Armstrong hadn't got in that rocket he'd have struggled to be the first man on the moon. Haven't we scored more since Bodin left than with him? Wasn't it the same when Taylor left? |

Worst away performance of the season are people having a laugh?! Did they forget Wigan, Shrewsbury, Bradford, Wimbledon?! We were dominating that game before the red card. Just comparing it against one of our play off contenders playing as we speak (Portsmouth v Wigan) we are very poor quality....... |

My issue is with pathetic posts like yours , all you do is come on here after a defeat and try and wind people up with utter drivel. Why were you not on here posting after our victory on Friday ? You might be a lovely bloke in person but you come across as a total twat on here. |
