I think it's actually the best team we've had in years. It's about more than stats. GC had great stats but an awful team, Blimey richie, that’s a bit of a stretch. But you’re entitled to your opinion. I’d say it was a very different team with a different approach but I bet GC’s team and probably DC’s wouldn’t have given away so many points from leading positions as this lot do. And until this lot sit 4th in League 1 I’ll need a lot of convincing to think to think that you’re right that that team was an ‘awful team’, certainly a very different style but as a team they were very resilient. And of course the goals of JCH helped a lot. UTG! |

Gcs rovers were solid and effective a bit like Wycombe but god they were awful to watch. I came out of every game thinking how the hell did we win that. It wasn’t enjoyable at all. A bit like the teds now under Pearson.my ted mates are hating the style of football even when they sneak wins like we did under gc. I’d never want to watch rovers play that way again. 4th in league one or not. Give me Barton’s style of play any day. Just need to start winning consistently. 😅🙏

You'll hurt heads quoting facts on here. 😆 To be fair you’re a fine one to make digs about facts at other posters on here with some of your recent posts Mr Pirate. |

I feel exactly the same equaliser. Really enjoying going to watch the gas again. First time in many years. |

Really enjoying going to watch the gas again. First time in many years. Whilst I agree there are enjoyable games, people seem to forget that for every Oxford(h) or Rochdale(h) performance we have a Newport(h) or Swindon(h) performance. We just can't seem to get a decent run together. Even the other day when we had "turned a corner" we were throwing away leads against Tranmere, 9-man Salford and losing to 10-man Forest Green. It would be nice to see some good players brought in in January (and keep hold of Nicholson, Evans etc) and really go for it in 2022.. but I wonder if we have given ourselves too much to do because of our poor/inconsistent start this season  |

I dont even think we need to spend vast amounts, we did alright with a non league manager and players like Stewey once upon a time. (I'm not saying that would work at Championship level). Ingredient that appears to be missing is picking players that can player together with a longer term plan for the future. It all seems a bit throw it together for the next game to me. |

I think we all have cause to be grateful that GC here when he was, he got the very best out of what he had to work with and saved us from relegation, his tough and uncompromising style ruffled the feathers of one or two who did not buy in to his methods but the end justified the means IMHO. I am one who did not think our form under GC would last long term but who knows what he could have achieved with the backing of the club to strengthen the squad, we will never know!
The present squad under JB are indeed playing some lovely stuff and for the most part are a joy to watch with flowing moves and goals flying in from many quarters BUT if that style does nothing more than keep us hovering in the lower reaches of league 2, fans will soon start clamouring for a change, the JB style is not at the moment getting us to where we need to be because individuals keep making very costly school boy errors. Solution, get GC back as defensive coach( his original role) see , this football management lark is a piece of cake! job done!

I don’t think Wel Make top 7 I think the start to the season and injuries will leave us falling just short. Then as you say the worry is the players we will then lose as a result of not going up 😢 |

We have a bunch of players that turn up inconsistently, can't hold a lead, and have very poor discipline. GC showed himself to be a far superior manager to JB. He inherited someone else's players, didn't whinge, motivated them , and got us up the table. JB inherited someone else's players, blamed everyone and everything apart from himself, produced some dire performances and results, and got us relegated. You don't get to 4th in League 1 with an awful team. But you do get relegated with an awful manager. |
