Wycombe (Cheats) v Bristol Rovers (Gas) Match Day Thread

I didn't go yesterday so it's difficult to give a qualified opinion. However listening to the RB commentary, it would seem that we conspired to lose the game because we had a number of chances from open play.

The commentary team were also critical of the referee who they thought failed to award us a couple of penalties. Just one, if scored, would have made a big difference, but of course we'll never know. It seems to me we never have a lot of luck, or success against Wycombe, they're just one of those horrible bastard sides with a Banned word manager.

Can you imagine the weekly stuffings they would get in the Championship? There's hardly an average sized club gets promoted that doesn't come straight back down, or may struggle to survive for a season or 2 before being relegated.

Personally I think we should stick for a while longer...

You think differently. Some reasoned articulation would be better than abject ignorance on maths followed by sarcasm.

If it helps, I'll flip it into direct question: what's the case for getting a new manager?

Lively

Everyone has their own particular relationship with rovers.
I went with my dad at eastville as a child.
I played for 30 years and just followed rovers in the media.
Then when i stopped playing i mixed up watch local football and rovers.
I got a season ticket for the conference season but now i have switched back to mixing local football at my last club shirehampton and rovers.

You live your life and i will live mine.

A while longer, or until the end of the season?

As I've said a few times, but you like to ignore those posts, we have to win at Tranmere or Ben should go IMO. What's the case for a new manager?

- We've conceded 22 goals in 12 games. Nearly 2 goals per game.
- We've scored 6 goals in 12 games. 
- We have failed to score in 7 of those 12 games and we were 30 seconds away from breaking a record of not scoring a goal.
- Only 3 of those goals have been from open play, 2 from penalties and one a set piece.
- We've picked up 3 points since the 26th December.
- We're bottom of the L1 form table in 10 games.
- The crowds are dropping to lower than they have been since relegation to the conference
- We were 4th at the beginning of Ben's reign. We're now 13th. 
- We were 4/5pts ahead of 7th, but now find ourselves 10 points from 6th.
- Our GD is 12 worse than when Ben took over.
- Every 2nd half Ben can't adapt to the game and change tactics, we come out worse. That or his half time team talks just don't motivate the players.
- He said he wouldn't change anything/rock the boat as what we're doing it working, but immediately we played a different style and now we're crap.

Ultimately, if we can't beat Tranmere on Tuesday then we really have no chance of winning another game all season, which for me is unacceptable and Ben should go if we don't win. I'd rather bring someone new in, we cannot get any worse than we are now. Ben's completely out of his depth and he needs help.

If we were to bring in someone to assist him, EG Warnock or Coppell etc. then I'd give him until the end of the season no doubt. 

Win at Tranmere and he's bought himself another 5 games to build on that, but the results have to come quick because ultimately he his management has been f*cking useless.

Absolutely. Just strikes me as strange you've withdrawn the support for the club due to the midfield selected.

Well i just think that selecting 3 defensive midfield players as coughlan often did,hardly encourages fans to want to go to games.
Strange thing is towards the end of the coughlan era he seldom played the 3 of them and i was starting to warm to the more aggressive and even a little bit more attack minded football we had played under him.

At least we have got two and a half years to get barrett fit.

Just had a thought, I didn’t see the new CB (from Swansea) or the striker (from palace) on the team sheet.

Any reason?
