do you mean only comment on your blog if you agree it? Absolutely not. If you comment on it, whether you agree or not, it means you've read it. It's a topic for debate which is what forums are supposed to be about isn't it? It's just I was accused last week of being boring and wasting my time. So I am trying to spare people from being bored! Take no notice of them. You're not boring or wasting your time, you're a Gashead writing about the Gas. UTG!

Mark, the worrying stat is that we have barely scored a goal per game - 16 goals from 13 games. Our defence, in my view, won't be able to keep clean sheets consistently so we need more goals if promotion is to be achieved. It's clear our forwards need to score more but in my book we still don't create as many chances as we should. The right side of midfield is still a worry - don't like Gosling coming inside onto his left foot. I also think the midfield needs to take the ball from the defence more often rather than the defence being pressured into aimless kicks up field. Yes, true. Let's hope we get a hatful against the two Kent sides. (Although a couple of 1-0's would still be highly acceptable.) Hi Mark, acceptable for sure, but not highly - we want/need exciting football and goals after last season's offerings !

Anyone else feel that Marty Taylor would offer a lot on the right wing? I think he'd play well anywhere in midfield or attack because he's a good footballer. If played in midfield he'd need a hard man next to him though. He is a bit lightweight. I still think that him and Cunnington would both score plenty if we got more crosses in though. We need to get Balanta fit because I'd love to see martin one side and Balanta the other with Cunnington and Taylor up front. Cureton got moved to the right wing earlier in his career with us and it didn't do him any harm. I'd only play MT on the right if moved back into midfield. If Jamie White is the finisher hes meant to be, then MT's pace and skill could help to unlock that.

The comment was aimed at the constant sniping, which the author seems to have back tracked on at least as far as the manager is concerned, and the predictable nature of the content. justified sniping ! there is a lot wrong with how our club is run. We can smile now because the team are on a run but it does not cover up the failings of the board in the last 4 seasons, does it ?

I guess so, until we hit another sticky patch as I can't see there being many "sack the board" chants if we get promoted or reach a Wembly final??

Love the way you continue to comment AMGas. If I bore you, why don't you just ignore my posts. Can't resist can you? As for changing my views, it isn't exactly that but people would find me churlish and criticize me if when the manager does get something right I stay silent. I imagine you'd be the first to say: "Where's Buck Rippers gone now things are going well eh? Only wants to comment when we're in the poo."

Devil's advocate: if I don't read it, how will I know if I don't like it? (for the record I enjoy all the Rovers blogs. Even wee Nathan's on the OS)

Whatever our differences, I'm sure we'll all be leaping about like popcorn in a pan when that Dover net bulges on Saturday afternoon. UTG!

Did you get upset at a bit of criticism ? Poor you. Looks like you managed a post without knocking the board, the manager or the club in general. Well done you. He has played most games, have you watched him play or do you base all your waffle on hearsay ? So, Do you think NH & the board have acted impeccably and are above criticism ? Do you think the changes that have started to happen, are not due to such pressure & criticism ? We are all Rovers fans and want a great football team but when you have the unenviable record of NH then any sane person will question such leadership.

He has played most games, have you watched him play or do you base all your waffle on hearsay ? Sorry, I missed the question in there. I've seen Matty play live at Barnet and on TV against Grimsby and Forest Green. 1. Against Grimsby he was clean through one-on-one with keeper and failed to hit the target. 2. At Barnet he missed a chance from a yard out from a Ryan Brunt cross which might have brought us back into the game. 3. Against Forest Green he had chances to extend our lead but failed to take them. I think he works really hard, is quick and has a decent bit of skill, but the game is about small margins. We need him scoring. As for your criticism it doesn't bother me but I wish you were more specific. If it's just the fact I 'bore' you then why read it? I can assure you I've had plenty of people knocking me in the past for things I've written, particularly where I thought DC went wrong when we were relegated. That happens because I am not afraid to put my head above the parapet. I'm sure the column would be far more boring if I said "nice things" about the Gas all the time.
