I can confirm that there was indeed a banner across the bridge between the Willy Wicket roundabout and the Bromley Heath roundabout. I say 'was' because at about 11.00am Sunday morning after hearing of said banner on Twitter I walked up there in the watering down rain and cut the f**king thing down! Once more I then chucked it deep into a bush in the hope that the cretin who put it up in the first place would not find it again. I live 5 minutes from that bridge and could not stand the thought of that banner hanging in my neck of the woods. Probably put there by a sheed on a wind up, or possibly a genuinely disgruntled Rovers fan, either way it was hung there by a simpleton and I felt it my duty to get rid of it. That would explain why I didn't see it going through about midday Thought it was a rumour tbh cause a shithead told me about it in the first place You let a shithead talk to you? |

I don't like the bloke and can't wait to see the back of him go on I know what's coming lol You ain’t worth it. Carry on with your sad crusade if it makes you feel better, are you really a Rovers supporter? Because you sure don’t act like one! You don't have to like the manager to support the team or some of the players come to that. I think it's time to let Sinclair and Nichols go, but so many blue tinters will disagree |

Ok the sick joke aside (which I took offence to) the results so far this season would see most managers to be sacked , some are sacked for much less. we cannot continue with him if we want to stay in this division never mind move forward That's not true though is it, when Oxford and Plymouth have both by stood by their managers and they are both below us in the league plus Wimbledon, Gillingham & Shrewsbury are only a point or two better off. From memory only Bradford, who are still below us in the league, and Scunthorpe have sacked their managers so far this season. Stop sprouting your anti DC nonsense and support the club when it needs it most over the next two home games. and where are Scunthorpe in the league? |

Personally, I think Nichols has no future (although would love to be proved wrong) but think Sinclair is an essential member of this squad/team. Maybe rather than being just a "blue tinter", some see qualities in these players that you don't. |

Maybe rather than being just a "blue tinter", some see qualities in these players that you don't. Sinclair is a quality player. Wins the ball more than any other Rovers player. Never gives the ball away. Great Close control, never gets tackled. Great technique brings it down never loses a 50/50. Zero creativity but always finds a Rovers shirt. Great attitude and clearly rubs off on others. Massively underrated by some but not me.. Tom Nichols - water poor really, some good on the ball / passing moments but no where near enough over the last 18 months and 1 goal. sh**e but stuck with him until his contract is up because nobody in their right mind would want him except maybe a struggling conference club that aren’t willing to pay anything. |

That's pretty much how I see it too. I can't understand why Sincs is so underrated by some. All opinions I suppose. I think Sincs is a quality player too. He also represents everything that has been great about our club over the last four years or so. He's a player we as fans can identify with for his absolute commitment and delight in wearing the shirt. And we shouldn't underestimate his off field stuff either - clearly great in the dressing room and has so much time for the fans. |

FWIW I think Sincs is a tremendous player - agree he lacks creativity but he is our engine - does all the hard work and keeps it simple like has been mentioned earlier.
Re Nichols - I think he has the qualities to be a fantastic player (maybe needs to strength up a bit) but he has zero confidence and that stemmed from a poor start and him and then us putting too much pressure on. He said when he joined that he wanted to be the leagues top scorer and as his drought went on the weight on his shoulder has just grown and grown. It’s just not worked for him here and I reckon if he went somewhere else, scored early and got confident we’d see a completely different player.
With Midland, what I don’t get is why he dislikes DC so much - could be he has a valid personal reason to want him out? I’m firmly in the DC in camp but just trying to understand where a different point of view is coming from and why it’s so strong a view?

Is partly personal and partly that he is not up to the job at this level If he is not up to the job at this level how do you explain our two previous midtable finishes at this level? He very clearly is up to the job and is going through a very sticky patch indeed (his first prolonged one for the club it is worth noting). There is not one single manager who has ever walked the earth that has not endured a sticky patch, some pull through and some don't. But lets not confuse a rotten start to a season with being a bad manager here Midland. DC's previous 5 years or so with us prove that he is a good manager, the last 2 months or so prove that he is not immune to rough patches. If we win our next two games (absolutely not beyond the realms of possibility given the opponents) then a lot of this talk will ease again.. Aside of course from you, you will carry on regardless of what happens on the pitch and to be frank, that says far more about you than it does DC. |

If we win our next two games I would say it was a bloody miracle despite the opposition. I would go as far as to say that 3 points will be tough for us to get from the two games based on OUR form. It is not just the results this season but more importantly the amount of possession we have in the opponents half which is not very much at all.

Problem is since Bodin departed we seem to have been on a downward path, we picked up a bit when Craig & Bennett first arrived but since around Feb we've only won 4(?) games, one of those v Coventry we could well have lost if Smith was still in goal. We also beat subsequently relegated Bury and just promoted Wycombe. The last time we beat just a mid table team was Oxford way back in February!! Fail to beat them again on Saturday and you do wonder when we'll next win a league game as we usually struggle against Wimbledon. |

Who cares how many games we've won since February? Much of that was last season, which was a pretty decent one, but has little or no bearing on this.
By all means critique our run of 2 in 12 or whatever it is this season. That's relevant as it determines where we are in the table now.
