I’m having no truck of this relegation talk. I wouldn’t want this type of attitude in my dressing room or on the bus.
So Racing Post had this view. "Bristol Rovers could be forced into a relegation scrap. They finished poorly last season with just two wins in their final 14 against relegated duo Bury and MK Dons - and once a star player has left them.
"You can't keep flogging your better players and expect repercussions somewhere down the line and we're entering the Gas' season of reckoning."
I have faith in our approach. Our expectations might have been lowered by this piece. The target remains the play offs. It’s time for us to aim high and calm the worried amongst us. All aboard for another up and down season.

So i have spent a bit of time looking at the history of our first game of season over last 9 years. The facts are that we have lost 8 of our last 9 season openers, including each of our last 5.
We travel to Peterborough, who’ve have won their last 6 home first games of season.
So it looks like we could expect to lose based on history. Looks like our first ground-breaking result of the season might not be tomorrow.

Ground-Breaking Goal - Champions - Win the league.If we do this from our present position we would all be delighted. Is it possible? Unlikely but with a good start we might be able to dream. debatable. I can name at least 3 on here who wouldn't

It's not your dressing room. Good observation. I’ll run my words past you in future to ensure you can pick up on any errors or remarks. Seem a bit picky so early in the season. Could be a long one for you.

Could be a long one for you. No I'm really looking forward to the season thanks, not sure how telling you that you don't actually have any effect on the players equates to me having a long season, but hey, you are welcome to your opinion.

I agree with you. I’ve never thought that my musings have an impact in the dressing room. My original post was reflective back to a time when I was a manager. I didn’t like negativity and bad attitudes around my dressing room or the club. I’m pleased that our present management team have a similar attitude. Like you, I look forward to the season.

Ah ok, your posts always seem to imply you think that you are setting goals for the club.

I think Liverpool / Man City / Man Utd fans set goals for there teams. I’m sure the majority of our fans have goals too.

I guess I don't think fans set goals, honestly I think they might have an idea where they might finish but not as actual goals, I guess the whole setting goals stuff leaves me cold.

I understand it’s not for you. I’m certain that all clubs and millions of sporting fans have goals for their club or team. I and my friends certainly do. All the best my friend.

Gas heads will be pleased that the bus is in good shape. I’ve had a sore neck looking down this season. No need to look down as we are on the up. This will build confidence. At this stage of season we are only 11ots off play offs. A nice run prior to Christmas and come January we might be in a position that none of us expected a few games ago. Is this the start of something? A season to remember awaits. Strap yourself into the rollercoaster that is supporting Bristol Rovers.
