As much as I like Mansell, it would now be a mistake to hire him. Most of this squad now arrived after he was released by the club. Would be different if he knew all the players already and worked them as would already have something to go on. But coming in now and with no actual 1st team managerial experience, it is too much of a gamble.
Need a proper manager. I was dead against Sol Campbell when his name was being mentioned before JB was appointed but Campbell knows how to do miracles. Not my choice but I would have him right now and back him to basically get the best out of these players.
If Campbell's the only option then I'd sooner stick with JB and hope he turns things around! I didn't say he was the only option. I even said he is not my choice, but I would take him over JB in a heartbeat.

Still its 4 points from 3 games. Promotion form plays on the average of 2 pts/game. Based on win at home and draw away. So not as catastrophic as the panickers are making out. Its 4 points from 5 games.... So borderline relegation form in this league.....

First half was good..only going to be one winner and that was Rovers. The sending off seemed in Rovers favour and likely to lead to gaps that could be exploited. 3 or 4 nil looked on the cards. Then a high bounce..2 players facing away from goal stretch out a leg to the side to try to reach the ball. The barrow mans foot makes contact and it goes in the top corner. Total fluke of a goal, that changed the game. Barrow could then have 2 banks of 4 sat deep Allowing no space then try to hit rovers on the counter when things broke down. Maybe if there is no space try some long distance shots (on target) and look for rebounds and spills ? Still its 4 points from 3 games. Promotion form plays on the average of 2 pts/game. Based on win at home and draw away. So the target would have been 5 points from those 3 games. So not as catastrophic as the panickers are making out.Shaking my head in disbelief. Honestly playtowin, fair shout to your positivity you have.

Reasoned comment not welcome it’s much more fun to run around shouting don’t panic Mr Mainwaring!!

So not as catastrophic as the panickers are making out. Ignoring the other two league matches is a bit cheeky. It's actually 4pts from 5 games, which is abject relegation form. Looking at performances we've got a win against a club in perpetual crisis and a draw against 10 men having been a goal up.

If we hadn't messing about passing the ball across our backline trying to play keep ball then we wouldn't have conceded the throw in which led to the goal.

5 points from 5 games in the conference season. A new league needs to be adapted to. Not backing or criticising anyone. DC is a Gas hero. His starting record in the Conference wasn't great. Turned out ok in the end. Need to reserve judgement here for a little while longer. Keep the faith.

Looking at performances we've got a win against a club in perpetual crisis and a draw against 10 men having been a goal up. Well form is current return..else just always look at the league table at any stage in the season. If by chance the team had won the first 3 and lost the last 2 im sure the form would be what had happened in the last 3 games.... Rovers were by far the better team for virtually all the first half . A fluke goal in the dying seconds completely changes the game. Had Rovers gone in 1-0 up ,the second half would not have seen barrow defending a defeat. Despite the disappointment of a draw ,an away point is still an away point. I could see signs things are starting to come together. The wins will come. Fans need to hold their nerve for a few more games.

I would say give him until end of October thats 9 league games if we are struggling still get him gone.

Fair shout to his positivity but if you look at the current projected table for this season, we are down to finish bottom. This is the current up to date live projected table following today's game.
But not so catastrophic apparently! I just want to cry.

To get his 1st ten games to look like the promised promotion form, he now needs 4 wins and a draw. Doable? Or he can lose the next 5 then go on a run of 25 wins out of the final 36, should be fine as the squad will have clicked by then, right?! After today can’t help feeling he’s gonna struggle to get the 15 wins we now need for safety. Hope I’m wrong

What an awful argument. The Premier League table on the same website lists Everton 3rd, Man City 6th and Arsenal bottom. If you think any of those will happen then I’m happy to have a bet with you!! Not saying we’re not awful but basing it on this is odd at best.

Your post is based around a nonsense projected table which means literally nothing. No merit at all.

This line from the post match press conference irked me in particular. He makes it all about himself.
“I’ve got my professional life at stake here because if I can’t get Bristol Rovers promoted out of this division, I’m not going to get the top jobs I want, I’m not going to get to work up the food chain for these big clubs, so I’ve got a lot invested.”

Agree, but I fear Wael is in balls deep with the guy and won’t bail until a guilty verdict or Christmas

We should be his one and only worry where all his attention is focused. We know he sees us as a stepping stone onto bigger & better things but play the bloody game Joey 🙄
