Let’s face it! DC is responsible for the ill feeling at our club still now! He drove the wedge and wound us all up about the owners etc.. selfish prick! blamed the owners time and again to save his own skin. Cogs is on a smaller budget and is making it work. He did this and as Oldie agreed with me, he did dig at us. We have people saying he’s the best ever, wind your necks in!!!! Did Gerry moan at Twerton every week to the media, did Ollie moan when he took us to the play offs in a 2 sided ground? He said to the media he never knew if Nichols would recover from his lack of goals and he hasn’t. You will have to ask the BBC or EP why this was leaked. I’m sorry but like Oldie said, 2 great promotions but he left us in a right mess, 4 points adrift from 5th place and with our highest wage bill ever. He has just said his players will be other managers problem in January, really good motivation and unity Darryl, no wonder you have lost the dressing room............Always others fault, the training ground and Mem and now the Walsall players, he can’t blame their training ground and ground, your tactics mate and motivation

I wish this would stop.
DC was a very good Rovers manager who struggled the longer he was a L1 manager but he still got 2 promotions for us and 2 comfortable L1 finishes. I would only wish him success at Walsall - so I'm sad for him he's struggling and some Gasheads giving him stick - this is INSANE !!!!
On the other side of the coin. GC has come in and did a brilliant job to keep us up AND he has carried this on this season. He has had massive bad luck with the long list of injuries and yet we are in a healthy mid table position. Let's not compare the 2 managers BUT support GC and the Rovers boys - get our injured players back and we can still challenge for the top 6 and have a very exciting finish to the season.

DC did a great job in getting us back to a respectable position in the third tier but we should recognise that he'd reached his level and gone past his sell by date as all managers do at some stage. It all depends on when you started following Rovers, but his achievements are nowhere near those of managers Bert Tann, Don Megson and Gerry Francis who took us to the second tier without having to scrape through on penalties or with a last minute goal to secure promotion in the final game. Its all relative though because the promotion i wanted more than any of the others in my time was achieved by dc and then he did it again something none of the others managed. PS only bert tann is before me. But hey haters always hate so keep it up by all means. Did you write the last line with any sense of irony?

We've seriously got a 15 page thread on Wallsal? Nope. Warsaw and Walsall but not "Wallsal Should we start one on Wallsal? What league are they in? Is their manager a Gas Legend? How well is he doing this season? WYHHB? Do any of our ex players play there? These are the things we need to know. And quickly.

Sensible post . Markczgas Why some people on here have to constantly make snide and nasty comments about DC . I really don’t know . Serves no purpose whatsoever . Just concentrate on GC —- he is what we should be focused on now . Not DC. Utg

I’ve been a Gashead for 36 years and have lots of memories and that includes some brilliant ones with DC. But a club established in 1883 deserves some honour and respect like Holloway and Trollope gave us when they left and no man is ever bigger than the club. If you think it’s acceptable in his first press conference with Walsall to mention this great club and ridicule our training ground and ground then that’s your choice, he never needed to do this.

Hey up boys i come in peace, I know you've moved on from DC and stuff but i was hoping for a little advice. As a few have said we are looking shocking atm, i mean 1 goal in 10 hours of play, Set up very very defensive, playing players in odd positions, playing odd formations, never sticks with the same team, I just dont understand his ideas on it all and was hoping you boys could show me a bit more light on him. I mean hes come into a rotten club but hes got off to the worst start you could imagine and knowing you boys been thru this already i was wanted too ask your opinion on it all? Weve got boos after games and a few people saying he should go already, completely over the top but hey when you dont win these things happen, Cheers for any words, and good luck this season boys! Firstly it will take at least 13 games for him to decide on who are his best players. For him to be defensive is a strange one, he always said he didn't mind letting in goals as long as we scored more and won. Still it depends on what players you have and what you can expect to get in January. as for changing the team each week, that's what he does, it drove me crazy. And yes players all over the place. I think he thinks more about the opposition than his own team. anyway, if he takes you down, he will bring you straight up again

He also never needed to behave like he did in his last 12 months in this job, he said in a recent presser he liked that Walsall spend in the right way, why did you need to say the budget was an issue every week then mate? For me I started to lose a bit of respect for him when he told me at the Radio Bristol event at Ashton Gate last summer he doesn’t have a player on more than 2 grand a week, you only have to look at the wages on the accounts to see he was lying. I’ll ALWAYS love the man for the success he bought here HOWEVER I can see he played a part in dragging a black cloud over the club and driving a wedge with his constant sniping and slating of everything when it was clear he couldn’t solve the problems on the pitch anymore and as much as I loved DC I’ll always love Bristol Rovers more.
