Bristol Rovers vs Gills Match Thread (7pm Kick Off)

If I was Tisdale I don't even know what I would say to the players at FT.

I'd probably wouldn't say anything, walk in throw my flat peak on the floor in front of them and just walk out.

Dear Garner boys.

Tisdales form does not mean Garner was a good manager. It does not mean the clubs decision to get rid of him was a bad idea. If anything, it validates it. This squad is probably the most unbalanced, inexperienced, most disorganised and inept squad I've seen as a gashead. That lies at Garner's feet. And yeah, probably Widdrington's too. His promotion seems misplaced right now.

I don't blame Tisdale one jot for the last three league performances. I can see signs of improvement. But we're going to have to hold on for January and hope he can work with Widdrington to right the wrongs over the last two windows.

Would offload grant asap. He brings nothing to the party and just seems disinterested until the final whistle. Get ogogo back in jan if we can't sign a guy in the middle who shows a bit of commitment

One signing we could make now is a defensive coach. Everyone got dragged towards the ball for their second and once again we've conceded a free header. Nobody is taking any responsibility in this team.

We'll thats 3 league games against teams in the bottom half of the table (270mins) without scoring a goal....

How on earth are we gonna score against the better sides?

Up the dirty river without an oar springs to mind....

I have to be honest I turned off when we conceded the second. I felt positive at half time that we would get something from the game but second half we didn’t perform. I know people have said about inexperience but there are plenty of experienced pros out there tonight. What we lack is steel, fight and pride.
I didn’t understand the change back to a back three at half time. If McCormick was injured surely we could of made a like for like replacement as I felt we looked in the game playing 4231. Hargreaves must be wondering what he has to do to get a game at the moment

Come on guys, we're all Gas and we're all pi55ed off at what we are seeing happening, but let's not start having a go at each other

I didn’t think we were that bad tonight, it was a fairly even game that on another day might have ended as a draw. Two lapses of concentration ultimately punished us, the first goal in particular was very frustrating to concede.

The real achilles heel of this team is that they don’t create or score enough goals, we’ve scored the 2nd least amount of goals in L1, managing to score only 1 more than strugglers Wigan.

Hanlan’s a very decent footballer but I’m yet to see evidence that he’s got the final product to turn him into a good league one striker, he’s only scored one goal from open play in the league so far this season.

Same goes for Nicholson and Oztumer, I’ve been impressed by their technical ability but they haven’t chipped in with enough goals so far to get us into games when either Hanlan/Daly hasn’t scored.

I think Tisdale has a decent squad to work with but we’ll continue to struggle unless we fix our problems in front of goal.

How many times are we going to hear this 🙄 people were saying the same when we went down to the conference but amazingly we’re still here! City have been in the top flight before and amazingly we’re still here 🤷‍♂️ We will always have a loyal 6-9 thousand backing what ever happens
