Pretty sure that one of our promotion seasons was off the back of goals coming from all over the team and having no stand out striker scoring the lions share of the goals for the season, complete faith in the most successful manager ever at BRFC to deliver an entertaining and positive season, just hope he doesn't read this forum, if you do DC remember many people back you, ignore the doom mongers and whingers showing no faith in besides your track record. Not sure I get your point to be honest.
2014/15 promotion season - Taylor scored 20.
2015/16 promotion season - Taylor scored 27.
Not sure either that anyone is doom mongers and whingers either and showing no faith, unless you are talking about 0.00001% of the forum, who for some dumb reason, wants DC gone! Otherwise, don't confuse those including me who think we will struggle this season (based on the current squad) as us being doom and gloom with no faith. Its just being realistic with what we got. However, if we improve our striking options, which I believe and I am sure many other will believe too, that DC will improve our striking options, that will change the predictions to a better season and possibly a great season.
Anyway, I am off to buy some more biscuits No doom mongers or whingers you say? Oh dear, hope you enjoyed the biscuits, and the mushrooms!

Those of us who can understand football can see that our current squad will struggle because we lack firepower. That is a realistic statement.
We need at least 2 more strikers who can actually score. That will make a big difference to our fortunes. That is a realistic statement. Yesterdays horror show is exactly what we can expect to see from our current squad on a regular basis this coming season. That is a realistic statement.
However, somehow you cannot grasp this and instead call other gasheads who have realism (because they can see the glaringly obvious) a doom monger and whinger. I would have thought what happened yesterday would be real with yourself but no. After the game you instead come back and call us doom mongers and whingers again! Crazy!
One last point as I cant be assed to go around in further circles with you about this. I take it you also think DC is a doom monger and whinger too as admits we are in need for strikers? I am sure he will know the upcoming struggles of this season without more firepower, hence why he is desperately trying to get these strikers in.
Current squad will struggle. More firepower is needed. Yesterday was proof. If you really can't see this then for your sake, I truly hope DC gets in 2 decent strikers because if he don't, at some point realism will hit you and you will have a big fall from that cloud 9 that you are currently residing on.
Good day to you.

Oh I understand a little bit about football, as a level 1 qualified football coach, a youth team manager for 7 years and somewhere in the region of between 6-700 Rovers matches home and away over 30 years iv'e watched quite a bit of football as it goes. Point out where I said we do not need additional firepower? It's pretty clear a couple of strikers are required, which will hopefully arrive in good time, they will have to click quickly and stay injury free for most if not all of the season to stop people moaning on here, what I definitely understand is droning on an internet football forum does not produce the desired results, never has done and never will, and reading the same dross is depressing as F##k. Yesterdays 'horror show' as you call it was a pre-season friendly, and since the day I was born they have never been reflective of the capability of any given squad, it wasn't too many season's ago when pre-season got off to a flyer under Trollope and we couldn't buy a win when the season began. A little more about my understanding of the game, this season has not yet kicked off, the transfer window is open until the 9th of August, every season there is a flurry of last minute activity and there is barring one game played an entire season ahead, no one has ever been promoted in August, these are not realistic points, these are stone cold facts. I do not see DC as a doom monger, he knows exactly how to play the game and I have complete faith in the best manager in our clubs history to deliver a decent season, and if we have to wait until we get the right striker at the right price in the building then I'm happy to do that as I have been in over 3 decades, because that is football, and we should support the manager. I understand that as supporters we have to wait until Christmas to get some kind of little sneak preview into who is realistically looking at a good chance of promotion, even then in previous seasons under DC we have faltered up until the mid season then had a stormer from Christmas onwards. So as today is 29th July I will not be whinging or panicking about the fact we haven't bought an expensive striker, seen plenty of expensive flops at the Mem and Twerton over the years. If things are looking bleak in February then perhaps then I will start to panic, but under the best manager the club has ever had and the most progressive owners we have ever had I don't expect to be flustering around then. 24 teams in this league again this season, only 3 will be successful, not an easy feat by anyone's imagination, even more so building off the back of two quick promotions in recent seasons, looking forward to seeing how we do without the need to start throwing about negativity by the bucket load before the ref has had the chance to blow his whistle for the first game of the season.

I said 6-700 games over a 30 year period. I was a level one coach who ran a Sunday morning youth side for 7 years, yes it was a time consuming, thankless and frustrating period with a few rewards along the way but I still had plenty of time to work Monday to Friday with coaching on a Thursday night. Would never ever manage a football team ever again, there are plenty on the sidelines who know better, although they never seem to want to step up to the plate and put in the thankless work.

If we can get a big nasty striker that the little 'un's can feed off, then top eight, if not bottom eight.

I agree with you. A couple of tweaks still needed to the squad but we do look to have lots of good options in midfield this year. Play offs here we come!

I think 16th or 17th. It will be a mixture of a lack of goals and our inability to keep goals out as usual. Al Quadis to sell the club in January, but keeping the land. We end up sharing with FGR and being owned by a local business man who will tell us his first priority is to get a new training ground sorted followed by a stadium. In 2021 we slip out of the league in to the National league, the assistant manager takes over and guides us back in to the league at the first attempt.

He had an injury and missed some games but their manager rates him highly. He always looks decent to me. On the 2 or 3 times ive seen cole and doidge they looked poor. Maybe i need to watch some youtube highlights so i can better judge a footballer? So, not only can he not score goals but he also can't stay fit. Brilliant. Not a big fame of Doidge myself. Perhaps you do need to watch a bit more football if a 6 goal in 67 injury prone striker is the best you can come up with. Ryan Taylor. Any thoughts on Mikael Mandron at Colchester, Pirate? Doesn’t seem prolific from his Wiki but 6ft 3 and 23 years old. Scored 10 in 44 League Two games last season - which isn’t terrible if he’s good at holding it up and bringing midfielders into the game high up the pitch. Just guessing, but I imagine the fee for Mandron would be considerably lower than what Stockley and Doidge are likely to go for.
