So if Harrison goes which seems very likely now we will be left with a striker who rarely scores and a Scottish striker unproven at this level and to make matters worse we are off to Holland when the Manager is really going to need to be here and getting at least two strikers in. If the owners do have our interest at heart then they will give DC the money to go for two top strikers at this level or risk flirtation with relegation as we do not have many goals in the squad at the moment. IMO two good strikers and we could head for top six though to be honest DC does not have a great record with signing strikers. We might be better off leaving DC to sort out transfers at home and let Marcus manage in Holland. If we start the season with Nichols as our lone striker then it’ll look like Ricky - over to Kuffour all over again and we know how that scenario ended up. I quite like the 4-3-3 formation but we’ll need a strong Center forward to lead the line and I can’t think of a worse striker to do that job than Tom Nichols. |

If Ellis goes it’s clearly a worry, but it’s not the first time a club have lost a good player towards the end of a transfer window. At least we have those couple of weeks to find the two strikers we undoubtedly will now need. Thought DC look a worried man in his interview today. After losing Gaffers a few weeks ago and rumours for several weeks about Ellis,we clearly have a big problem. Will be very surprised if we can bring in two in the next fortnight. I see Chaplin is still at Portsmouth and likely to stay there unless they can bring in a striker. Has their top target just signed for them across the river? Worrying times . He certainly had that watered off edge to him that we’ve all seen before. To be fair we’d just lost 1-0 and are probably going to lose our best striker. Thing with DC is he always bounces off the ropes and comes back fighting so I trust him to do that again. |

Just listened to DC comments at the end of the for game and I am totally convinced that this bloke does not have a clue what he is on about
In pre season friendlies this is the time to bed in new players and get the squad working together and understand each other's movements and to Ray out set pieces
You get fit in the gym and on the training ground
Here we go again into a new season without a clue what is about to happen
No comment about Ellis why can we not be kept in the picture after all the newspapers know what is going on but it's a big secret to us wow
This coming season I can see is going to be desperate and we will be lucky if we stay up unless there are some big moves before the end of the transfer window otherwise DC 's head is on the chopping block and not before time

For all we know DC could be speaking to 3 or 4 strikers. We had that triallist in at Melksham even if he was crap.
Relax, there’s two weeks to go and a lot can happen in two weeks.

No threat whatsoever. Him and Nichols are not a striking partnership. |

I'm confused on the we haven't replaced Gaffney comments, wasn't that the reason we brought in the fella from St. Mirren?

Not yet. I totally get the concept of bedding in players etc, maybe that's slightly old fashioned? If we make signing or two there won't be time anyway.....if we play all our starting line up, we show our hand too early to potential scouts. We know nothing as fans, so opposition know even less.....if you think dc knows less than all that, good luck to you! I see he's playing a match fitness game, tinkering with formation and different player in different positions ideas....in essence a training module. He'll take away more than as fans we'll ever know.... if he doesn't, we'll be blissfully unaware! Clever guy.. |

Being fit in a gym and being football 90 mins match fit, match sharp, match touch with match vision is what goes on in PSF's. These players haven't played for 2 months. If you had a player out injured for 1 month, and he comes back, he will be ring rusty, he's gym good but not match perfect. The way you get that is on the field playing the game. Tactics and formations are always worked on in training, different scenarios and drills, 5v5 and 11v11, set pieces, team building can all be simulated and worked on behind closed doors. The transfer window is still open and we can't build a side if one or two of our main players is leaving. |

Would have had more fun watching over 55's walking football, praise the creator of devon mist cider for massively improving the day and evening after that experience.

If supporting Rovers with DC in charge is such a hassle just bore off and do something else. |

Surely needs to have had as much success if not more than DC, needs to know he has to become the most successful manager in the history of the club, currently held by DC. And very quickly needs to show passion for the club by the bucket load and be sincere and convince the majority of fans he is genuine. We are, in my opinion LAF to have kept hold of darrell and I'm sure most Gasheads feel he deserves plenty of respect. So let's have your opinion on who would do a better job, and why? |
