It’s a disgrace is what it is. You'd better start a protest then, with all your mates who just won't stand for such a disgrace. I won't hold my breath, mind. Haha spoken like a true soft touch I wouldn’t disagree with you “mind” ... not sure anyone can be arsed at the club these days |

Come on, if it's so bad, something needs to be done. Go on, do it, you hero. You can't rely on soft touches like me, you need to do it. Do it. |

Do it. I couldn’t take the stress. I remember the trauma of the Sainsbury’s protest when the Horfield Six had those orange t shirts made. But even worse remember those nights we stuck it to the EFL when everyone stayed at home to watch the Champions League on the telly to terrify them into abandoning the EFL Troplhy |

Putting yourself above us soft touches means you need to be the hero to save the club. You are a hero, I can tell by your posting, and how you have placed yourself above all the soft touches, and boldly rode up to the Checkatrade trophy in your white stetson, so you need to do it, to save us all, you big god damn hero. |

[br if only I possessed such bravery but as you will have read in my post I did say. WE must have become the softest touch in soccer. I’m not sure if it a Bristol thing, comfortable part of the world and all that. In all my years of following Rovers I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than a bit of a sulk amongst us fans. I’m the same “mind” wouldnt disagree with that. I think we’re a thoroughly nice bunch. Maybe we could apply for charitable status. |

Perhaps read what I said? Daly hasn’t played for ages until Saturday, McC hasn’t always been selected recently, Baldwin missed a few matches recently, Hanlan and Nicholson I agree with you. But I’m sure you’d agree we need than 2 regulars and 3 maybes to be trying all the time. Blimey, and I’m a rose-tinter! 😉 UTG! Who do you believe / feel doesn’t try in our current team / match day squad? On a regular basis who lets us down effort wise and doesn’t give 100%? There are players, imo, who haven’t busted a gut in certain matches. You may have a different opinion, after all it’s a forum. 😉 UTG! |

Anyone know if we are watching the opposition like Fleetwood did with us last week? Double training sessions? I think some players need a break. Luke L has played 13 league games in just over two months after coming back from injury plus 2 trophy games and 2 fa cup games. 17 games in 9 weeks after 3 weeks injured. He has played well offensively but must be shattered. He needs a break |

 Tis must stay. Our best players are Jak, Nicholson, Daly and Hanlon. Last Saturday was the first league game Daly was fit to play under Tis. Jak is one of the best keepers in the league and played through injury throughout Tis reign, Nicholson has missed loads and due to a bad summer transfer window, Hanlon had being running on empty. You only have to.look at how much Kilgour has benefited from having Tis around. Hopefully the above can stay injury free and Rodman can improve his match fitness along with Daly as these two will almost seem like new signings.

If we go down then the board is to blame, especially Starne. He should have been sacked weeks ago

Daly got injured playing against Darlington on his first game back from injury when were 4-0 up - Tis has himself to blame on this. Jakkola got injured playing in a trophy game against Leyton Orient - Again Tis has caused his own problems here. Kilgour has definitely looked better in patches and Nicholson has had injuries on and off under both managers |

You're joking right? Relegation to the Conference was greeted with a collective shrug. Most apathetic fanbase in world football. I couldn’t disagree with that at all. In the last twenty years we must have become the softest touch in soccer. I bet the three stooges ( Starnes/Widdington/Tisdale ) can’t believe they can pick up their salaries with so little grief. I don't think it's that Rovers fans are soft touches. It's more that we put up with s##t because that is all we have ever had. As we have never experienced success we can't mourn having none now. As the saying goes you can't miss what you've never had. |

Also, where does Rodman fit in with Williams at RWB? We don’t play a right mid / right winger.

You’re looking for me to give you names but after many years on here most will know I rarely “scapegoat” players which is what I’d be doing if I said individuals were not trying. But I stand by my opinion that some players have not busted a gut for Tis. The matches against Oxford, Accrington, the first goal from the corner against Rochdale, the away goal at Rochdale, the goal at Swindon off the top of my head are down to players giving less than their best imo. I’m sure there are more. Btw I agree with your opinion on Leahy, typical League 1 defender perhaps, good sometimes but lacks consistency. He may need a rest but Hanlan certainly does, though we probably can’t give him one. UTG! |

Ayunga bashing people with Daly and Nico grabbing scraps could really work and has the added bonus or freshening Hanlan up |

Ayunga bashing people with Daly and Nico grabbing scraps could really work and has the added bonus or freshening Hanlan up Hanlon hasn't scored in 10 games so definitely needs a rest for a couple of games minimum. Ayunga gets lots of abuse and I can understand people's frustrations it hasn't gone well for him since he arrived. I would start him though and give him a couple of full games just to see if there is a partnership with Daly/Nicholson as he can do no worse. |

But Tis would be brave to do that but perhaps it’s worth a go as Hanlan does need a rest. Perhaps hope Hanlan in the last half hour could have an impact. UTG! |

You could be right although it could be a generation thing too. My formative years were the 70’’s so the benchmark was playing against the likes of Spurs, Southampton, Wolves, Chelsea, Newcastle et al often in front of crowds in excess of 20,000. I suppose I thought that going to be what was normal. Someone who’s Rovers career began in the last 20 years probably thinks we’re doing ok right now |
