Let me explain this for you, as it seems to be a bit difficult for you. I am from Bristol. I live in Bratislava. To break that down even simpler for you, it means I left Bristol (in 2015) and I moved to Bratislava. Does that make sense to you? There are a few others on here such as your best buddy swissgas, nobby, Qatargas, Francegas etc who also live abroad. Speaking of lies: you posted numerous times about takeovers - were they lies? And as usual, you've ignored another of my questions ( do you understand what a question is either?), what would someone from Bratislava have to do with anything anyway? Or are you perhaps someone who looks down on anyone who's slavic? And for my final question, how much did Steve Hamer tell you Wael will spend? Looking forward to your reply. Not sure why you are having a go at me, particularly as far as I am aware we have never met? When you posted you live 'here' I presumed you meant Bristol. As for Bratislava, I cannot comment because I have never been there, and I guess it makes for watching the Rovers difficult? As for Steve Hamer, I have not spoken to him for months, and that was just a 'hello' as we passed in the corridor. In fact I have spoken to Wael, Martyn S and Tom G more than Steve Hamer. You say I have ignored another of your questions, I am unaware that you have asked me any - try again and if I can answer, I will. But please don't just throw insults, there is too much of that on the forum. As for 'you've In his reply to your post which you've quoted the squiggles with the dots beneath them which look like this ? indicate that the sentence which precedes it is a question.

Get in Callum Roberts from Blyth Spartans. Just the sort of creative and goalscoring threat we are crying out for.

Getting in a winger for me is pointless as gc obviously doesn’t like setting up this way he’s had 2 windows already and not one winger bought in tells a story.
That in mind Loan or cut a deal to buyout part of Tom Nichols contract Loan out Ed upson Send back either Tyler or victor Kyle Bennett sell/loan
Bring in a new number 10 (starter) New centre midfielder (starter)
No point bringing in people to make up the numbers at this stage

With signings,in my view its always the manager who makes the signing. That's the bottom line no matter who else is involved.

I found this interesting that TW is taking the credit for JCH. I thought it was actually GC's signing? I swore I read an article that JCH had an offer from Sunderland & someone else, so he text GC on what his opinion was - as soon as GC found out he was available, he said come to Rovers - and he did. Stand to be corrected though This is peak forum. Innocuous comment which mentions a club member of staff's name and within one reply they're "taking the credit". Rather, you're the peak forum. Someone slating something without a clue what they're talking about. I suggest you do you research! TW: Source: www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/exclusive-how-tommy-widdrington-dragged-3535715 Coughlan: Souce: www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-bristol-rovers-brought-best-2711703So yeah, I'd say TW is taking credit. Either him or GC aren't being entirely truthful.

This is an area that I feel would need to improve if we wanted to make a go for top 6. My opinion only tho.

Nil for reading comprehension. Why can only one of the quotes you've posted be true? Like I said, peak.

I would have thought most games Clarke is the missing link not Upson, the latter was poor on Sunday as he had to take a card early on for the team as Little(?) stupidly gave the ball away.

Not meant to be taken too seriously sorry.

I predict we will sell JCH for pittance and struggle to bring any players in, 1 or 2 loans maybe. I agree. Any money gained will be used by the AQ's to offset the losses, with Widdrington told to repeat the act and get a good striker in for nothing. The AQ's will think he's done it once, so do it again. surely Coventry running out of player they are going to let us have?

He got a yellow, but in truth it could have been a red (maybe a harsh red, and later in the game I think it would have been). Clarke over Upson for me all day long. When they are both out of form, at least Clarke tackles and tracks. Clarke better shot, more supportive in the forward link, good tackler (ok mistimes occasionally, but when you put in so many). I agree he has had a poor run of form, but Sunday he was leaps above Upson, and I see this mainly as the norm. The trouble is when you play so defensively you feel the need to have defensive midfield players.

The trouble is when you play so defensively you feel the need to have defensive midfield players. Upson when on form plays well as the defensive CM, whereas OC plays well about 1 game in 5 in the attacking CM role, that's the role we really need to fill, the ACM, not the DCM position. If we do fill it then OC & EU can fight it out for the DCM role.

Clarke I feel is more naturally a defensive style midfield player, he is filling a role as EU and Ogogo are also defensive. He had his best seasons supporting creative players like Linesy, with wide players, tackling well, giving it easy and supporting when we used to attack. It seems like im biased but I would pick him first as my defensive midfielder, but he is asked to play further forward which doesn't overly suit.
