I really don’t understand Hanlan. Makes a good run, beats the offside trap, holds the ball up, stops and assesses his options (all good so far) and then despite having 2 or 3 players open to square it to (and create a goal scoring chance) he just waits for the entire defence to recover and then plays a simple ball backwards, out of the box and then we’re tackled or forced to go back to the GK. Time after time. The bloke is utterly useless When we had Nichols at least he helped in creating goals despite his lack of goals. Hanlan just doesn’t contribute to anything. If he is not scoring goals then there really is no point in him playing.

First team to be relegated in the football league this season. Only the 2nd club to be relegated after Sheffield United. Awful. We all knew this was coming, but it's still a hard pill to swallow. I'm devastated, and will now drink myself into Oblivion. Hopefully I'll sober up by the end of july After 45 years suffering nothing would surprise me with rovers,I'm gutted we are going down but after covid and all that misery I'm not going to get depressed about it,just enjoy life it's only football FTC

I wonder if we’ll score again this season? Unlikely. We certainly won’t score at Blackpool.

Let's hope we can recruit someone a lot better than both of them in the summer.

Watch the players pretend to look devastated at relegation when the whistle goes.
As if they give a sh**.

Nichols is actually a decent league two striker though and he will again score far more goals than Hanlan will next season.

Another huge disappointment Agree but wondered why he’s playing a part today if he won’t be with us next season. I suppose maybe we’re so stretched with injuries there was no choice, Barton logic "Confucius say, play crap player when he leaving you in couple weeks"

Its not just Hanlan is it ?. What have Daly done scored a header late last summer and Rodman I think scored once all season. Ayunga is no better than a national division players . And Otz loaning side on big wages been wasteful.
It be easier to ask who is worth a starting place . Nichs Annsi leahy and MC. That's 4 out of 34...

Goodnight Irene I’ll see you in my dreams.
I’ll be there in august with my season ticket giving the backing to whoever is in the dugout and whoever wears the shirt.
After all, when all is said and done we cheer the shirt, not the individuals.
UTG.

"An improved performance on Tuesday night" says the commentator which was not difficult but we never ever looked like getting anything from that game.
Another side on a poor run and we roll over yet again.

Has to be one of the worse seasons in the history of the club. Gutted that our club is so poorly represented in the professional game. I cannot pretend I have any faith, nor reason to believe, that we will be any better next season.

Down with hardly a whimper. So very sad. Thank you BG and TW, the pair of you carry the main responsibility for this debacle of a season. How on earth JB can be blamed for this is beyond me. Anyone who watched that toothless display will surely agree. Roll on next season with hopefully JB in charge. UTG!

It’s amazing isn’t it! Nichols is actually a decent league two striker though and he will again score far more goals than Hanlan will next season. I'm trying not to be too over the top when I say this, but Hanlan I think is one of my least favourite ever Bristol Rovers strikers. I know we've had some proper stinkers like Riordan, Payne, Ross Weare, Beardsley, and many more, and Hanlan isn't worse than them, and he has more potential. However, Hanlan being given so many minutes and doing so little with them, in fact he's more like a 12th player for the opposition. It's just maddening watching him for me.
