I’m starting to think leave TW in charge till the end of the season and reevaluate then. Don’t see how anyone else will make much difference at this point. TW seems to have got some fight in us and that’s about as much as we can hope for. Hopefully that will be enough.
Any new man now might just be a knee jerk of those who are available.

Frsutrating game.
For 67 minutes I felt we were the better team. McCormick came within a whisker with his free kick off the bar, Hanlan should have scored with his effort off the post, Williams had a ver presentable opportunity and McCormick had a good chance seconds before we went behind.
After conceding we looked more vulnerable but even then Baldwin glanced a header wide when he probably should have scored.
Wigan and Northampton also lost with stats very much in their favour.

UTG That would be the logical thing to do in the circumstances but the man Widderington will not agree to that as it doesn’t suit his agenda,IMO. I would gladly Put up with his Coughlan style football, which goes totally against the mans vision and ethics, if it kept Rovers up. I haven’t listened to his after match interview and analysis yet but it should be interesting. |

Marketeers: dont think the majority of Britains support the Prem teams. It's the teams like us you are falling short on.
Look at that hierarchy, the Premiership is just the top, there is this whole Pyramid thing you're ignoring!

Im no manager, but sticking on Hargreaves and Tutonda to try and force an equaliser in the 91st minute was a strange one

There are some poor poor teams in this division. We’ve lost so many games since the Blackpool home fixture and still sit a few points above the relegation zone despite averaging less than a point per game over the the course of the season. Yeah, though, the law of averages says that sooner or later 2 or 3 of the teams will put a decent run together. It's so much easier to avoid the drop than to get promoted. Promotion chasing sides have to win week in, week out. To not go down, all you have to is lose a few, draw a few and occasionally win. But somehow or other, four teams manage to cock it up every season. Since the new manager effect no longer seems to affect us, I'm worried a bit. |

That game just said to me we are lacking quality up front. Regardless of what Widdrington says

I guess it's a clever ploy by Steve Evans AKA cheating b......d as he that knows most teams will have to travel early, I don't understand why we agree to it as players must be familiar with their routines for a 3pm kick off, even at the Mem we are generally poor when we kick off around midday. Suggest you forget about your cloud cuckoo land ideas. Gillingham have played 11 games at home on Saturday. Won 4, drawn 2 and lost 5. On the flip side if the players get up early, they are home earlier. I think you are just clutching at straws, face up to the fact we are a very poor team, worse than Gillingham, yet another team to get six points off us this season. Somebody at Gillingham clearly feels they are gaining something from 1:30pm kick offs, or they wouldn't have moved the kicks off forward. |

Then within a minute of the changes we let in the killer second goal. I still don't understand why Walker isn't on the bench, as at least he can run with some pace at tiring defenders. Where's Oztumer disappeared to again? |

Why would they down tools for Barton, if they do then they'll probably do similar next season when we finally appoint a manager. TW is part of the problem not the answer to the problem,given that our summer recruitment was so poor, no pace in defence/leader to replace Craig, no obvious midfield play maker/speedy wide players and no obvious replacement for JCH, goals wise. TW and BG between must have blown all the proceeds from JCH's transfer funds. They might not be here next season (with any luck). We’re in a transitional phase in a relegation battle, that is an awful place to be especially for a club like us who had notions of a long term vision and DNA not so long ago. We should only be committing to the end of the season on all fronts, manager, players, board members and no more because we simply don’t know where we go from there. Rushing into an appointment now when we are in such a dire position will see us handing out another 2 year contract to someone who might not keep us up and might not be appropriate for a struggle in league 2. Given the above, there is far more that could go wrong with a new manager vs keeping with people the players are familiar with just til the end of the season imo. Given BG signed a number of youngsters last January and this summer I assume they will be all here next season, unless we can somehow find another team to take them off our hands. The only players probably definitely leaving are the likes of Little, Rodman and Clarke who hardly figure now anyway. In the summer probably only Duff will be added to the managers presently available, if Cheltenham miss out on promotion, so I can't see the advantage in waiting. |

Your forever speculating, why not phone Gillingham up and ask them. If its a problem I am sure if the other clubs object they will have to kick off at 1500. I think you will find that clubs can travel when they like and some hotels are available, so that is a decision up to individual clubs. It would seem your are trying to find reasons why losing is a regular habit for us. I would suggest it's because we are simply not good enough. |

Last season we had Kilgour and Craig centre half? No leaders? We replaced a 35 year old Tony Craig with 27 and 28 year old Baldwin and Ehmer who have over 500 appearances at league one between them with Ehmer captaining Gillinham. No midfield playmaker? Nicholson? oztumer? |

We had the better chances first half but could not finish, thought second half not as good never created as much.
Thought we were going to get something after Day saved the pen.
Need Nicho back asap, big week UTG.

There always has to be a hierachy accessible to anyone What is live content? It is the thing that is running around our minds all the times. Even tho the Rovers are sh** I think about them everyday. A Marketmans' dream... I should probably send Wael an email on Monday But then again I am sure he has thought of this in the Masterplan Well said. I have no idea what you're writing about, but a fine effort. |

Calm down, I was just responding to G365's post after he mentioned it, if you want to take exception to his original post then feel free to do so. |

Going off track but how did TAA not get a card for that penalty? Should have been a red.

Nicholson? oztumer? Craig clearly made up for his lack of pace with his ability to read the game. As far as leadership I wouldn't employ Ehmer or Baldwin to lead me along the Bristol to Bath cycle path, as they'd probably both get lost, hence why Leahy is now our captain. Finally neither Nicholson not Ozt are central midfield playmakers in the Lines etc mould. Although when did anyone last see Ozt in a Rovers shirt at the Mem? |
