Lol, you know I’m only pulling your waterer! There’s far too much aggression on here lately. If there is one thing I’ve learnt on here, it’s to never take any of your posts seriously. Just saying.

This is another useful and constructive thread? Oh dear, this place has really gone to the dogs lately. 😱 WHY on earth would there be constructive and useful threads with our current situation? People in general are 10x more likely to air negative reviews than positive ones. If your searching for utopia i recommend the Caribbean I've just returned from a 14 day cruise there and will agree with you on that -- But thats the only thing I will agree with you. Just imaging Mark Mghee a better manager than anyone

Why beat around the bush. Edited so you could just say what ya wanted without trying to sound like a dick. You do, btw. New to Rovers? Would probably say our team spirit was at it's peak during our rise from NL to our first season League 1 finish. Also think our best change at play offs was that first season back. Doing well, sell Matty. Can't hit the net for the remainder of the season. Teams like Sheff Utd and Bolton eventual promotion teams were giving us big praise - Bolton fans called us Bareclona! and now Bolton who are about to join League 2 are taking the water out of us for both our efforts this year. GC's negative football was literally just JCH in the form of his life. Would have been dire if we had the current/recent JCH. Have you ever noticed good teams get good luck? bad luck seems to happen all the time to under performers. Coughlan was a SUPERB man manager and someone everyone loved to play for, its a real real shame he had to leave, as i said the best points tally in a year than any of our managers! Yeah that season we were pretty however very volatile, this was our best chance and everyone knows it! All they had to do was pick up the phone to holloway and i have no doubt we would be flying high now speaking about automatic promotion and it being a disapointment if we just get the playoffs. I would bet my house and wife that JCH enjoyed his football 10000x more than ben garner. Ben garner reminds me of a sunday league manager trying to implement tika taka football. HE IS WOEFUL! And will go down as our worst ever manager Actually he wasn't and isn't. He's was a complete bully, whom the players detested. I'm not itk on many things, but this I am, any other business he would have been dismissed on day 2.

thats actually total bollocks. its been mentioned on here before that players themselves have said they couldnt stand coughlan. Oh what Andy from southmead said that the players don't like coughlan haha.. The way they embraced him and worked there socks off for him would suggest something completely different did they work there socks off for him 1st half southend? only reason they came out and won was because party was threatened 2 be cancelled. thats not good man management at all. and no, not from andy, ive spoken to players away from the club with work and they all thought coughlan was a t0sser

I hope he turns it around, however he just strikes me as a bit of a tos**r if im being honest. Why beat around the bush. Edited so you could just say what ya wanted without trying to sound like a dick. You do, btw. Only rovers would be 4th in the league with the best team spirit I have ever seen. Then appoint a man with no experience to see through our best chance of the play offs in league 1 in over a decade. New to Rovers? Would probably say our team spirit was at it's peak during our rise from NL to our first season League 1 finish. Also think our best change at play offs was that first season back. Doing well, sell Matty. Can't hit the net for the remainder of the season. Teams like Sheff Utd and Bolton eventual promotion teams were giving us big praise - Bolton fans called us Bareclona! and now Bolton who are about to join League 2 are taking the water out of us for both our efforts this year. Whats even more worrying is we looked more a goal threat under coughlans 'negative' football than we do under ben garners 'free flowing' football. has anyone seen any free flowing football yet? GC's negative football was literally just JCH in the form of his life. Would have been dire if we had the current/recent JCH. This is patently untrue and JCH missed a number of games including the win at Ipswich. If Coughlin's 4-3 win at Shrewsbury and 4-2 win against Southend was negative then f**k me what are we watching now?

I hope he turns it around, however he just strikes me as uninspiring and someone I would easily switch off from. Seems like a bit of a tos**r if im being honest. Only rovers would be 4th in the league with the best team spirit I have ever seen. Then appoint a man with no experience to see through our best chance of the play offs in league 1 in over a decade. Has anyone ever seen such a fall from grace this side of the millennium? Whats even more worrying is we looked more a goal threat under coughlans 'negative' football than we do under ben garners 'free flowing' football. has anyone seen any free flowing football yet? Why does he seem like a "tosser"? What constitutes a tosser in your world.. or are you just unable to articulate yourself like an adult and find yourself forced to dish out insults like a kid in a playground? Getting really bored of all this crying that "we were 4th" at some point in the season; as if that gives us some entitlement to finish in the playoffs or something. Were we even halfway through the season? Do you get awards for being top 6 at Christmas? Did GC actually win us anything? He managed to steady the sinking ship and save us from relegation last season, but whatever credit he earned from that feat (and the good start we had this season) was totally lost when he aborted the project and dropped down the leagues to be a bit closer to home... We have a new, young, highly thought of (yet inexperienced) manager who wants to play attractive football and win football matches. He inherited a small squad with injuries in key areas and was faced with a challenging set of fixtures over a short space of time. Coupled with the personal issues he unfortunately faced very early into his tenure I would love to see a bit of patience from our fan base (who are allegedly "supporters" but not sure who they are supporting when they are calling our very own manager a "tosser" with no justification). He's had a transfer window now in which it looks like our owners have backed him and he will get a bit of time now to hopefully get his team playing his way - why can't we all just enjoy the ride now.. a few more points and we might well be officially safe from relegation and the season is likely to be a free hit now - so just sit back and be entertained! It wasn't just "4th in the league" it was the highest that this club has been in 25 years, that's the importance of it. Regarding the transfer window, how many of his "signings have league experience?" Very few and you can count the games on 2 hands. if he thinks he will get us out of this league by playing tippy tappy football then he is woefully wrong. If he is still here in August I will be surprised.

GC was such a great man manager all our loan signings were desperate to sign for us permanently at the end of the season. How many of our out of contract players signed on the dotted line? for us I mean?

No he did not and Linsey is a good mate of mine, we went to the same primary and high school together and he thought the guy was an asshole to say the least. GC had no respect for him as player who played 500 games for his hometown club and then f**ks us off to join Mansfield mid season.

Imagine the end of the season headlines "Bullied players win promotion!!" Ha, what a joke. I see snowflakes

GC had no respect for him as player who played 500 games for his hometown club and then f**ks us off to join Mansfield mid season. Lines became too old and slow to play in division One, plus he couldnt tackle. But it is interesting, perhaps we have forgot all the abuse (on here) that he took when he went to Wednesday. He was called every name under the sun, but when he did come back all that was forgotten and it was "good old Linsey" Football is a hard profession and sentiment should not get in the way but at Rovers its "lets get Lines back, Lets get Holloway back" Always looking backwards to a better time that really wasn't better (Well not in the past 25 years).

This threads a joke posters trying to say GC was just a bully etc when he managed to get to within a home win of 2nd, meanwhile the joker who has taken his place hasn't come close to winning a single game and seems only interested in making us a development team for the big boys, rather than actually achieving anything ourselves in the league.

yet another thread with a variation on the same theme, must be 6/7 now!look BG is our manager ,he has a long term vision on the way to take us forward, the powers that be seem to be backing his judgement and so should we ,lets see where we are start of next season and then we will have a better idea of who is right, my moneys on the manager so lets get on with it and see what evolves, meanwhile how about getting off his back and have some different threads eg FA CUP is alive and kicking, great games last night especially at Cardiff, Brum(sorry for Coventry losing like that after 2 injury time equalisers from Brum)watched the Oxford game ,great game ,great goals ,great fightback by them, kept an eye on Taylor, thought his all round game and lay offs were excellent, still cant stand the bloke though! prob at right level now on twice the money, is he on loan or did they sign him?

People throwing their rattle out of the pram because we were doing so well and got to 4th, I get it, things are so fun when you are losing. I see BG long term plan and would happily bet on us being a much better side next season. I don't think he was appointed and told not to worry about trying for promotion, but can see that BG is bring in better footballers with some technical ability he can coach. I have accepted we where we are and to be honest we would have been an absolute shambles in the Championship if we went under GC. If players didn't want to play for BG and more Importantly the club, I would tell them to do one, fortunately right now I don't believe that is the case.

Only rovers would be 4th in the league with the best team spirit I have ever seen. Then appoint a man with no experience to see through our best chance of the play offs in league 1 in over a decade. Has anyone ever seen such a fall from grace this side of the millennium? Whats even more worrying is we looked more a goal threat under coughlans 'negative' football than we do under ben garners 'free flowing' football. has anyone seen any free flowing football yet? I think the question should be "Would Ben Garner want you playing for him"
