You know what? It took a lot of persuading here on this forum to overturn the support he had....the sychophants giving it to the next transfer window, or some that even said if he'd take us down he would have support....? Hey, he may well turn things around at Colchester. Who knows? Today, as it stands, there's two sequential away matches where the loyal travelling fans have sung "you're not fit to wear the shirt", remonstrated with players and called for change. BG is no where to answer. Ring bells anyone? This is a proud club. Colchester. With their big match shows and always a tough match away for us!? JK can testify to that!? Where's carlts? Just asking...? Carlts is now on the Colchester forum, they have been seen on the Swindon and Charlton ones but oddly when Garner leaves they’re never seen again. Thanks....says it all. Hiding coward. |

Been watching FGR Vs Colchester Garner’s U’s make Garners Gas look like Man City, not sure I’ve ever seen a worse football league team in my 30 years. A performance that could see him sacked (again) Can’t see Garner lasting now. FGR have been shocking all season! They have been but I look at their strikers. Taylor, Deeney, Stevens and Morton. Then we know Belshaw is decent at that level. They have Dabo who was playing regular championship football last season for a play off side. Bernard was a regular when they watered this league a couple of seasons ago. I'm guessing the rest of their team isn't that good but I don't really know them. I know they have enough there though that they shouldn't be near the bottom. |

In fact he took the job when they never even had a full team and got them to the play off final, if i remember correctly. Also, do not forget the brief he was given when he was employed with us. Yes, it was a terrible decision i agree but those who run the club wished to buy young players, develop and sell. He was on a hiding to nothing. It’s ironic how the same people bemoaned his tippy tippy football, that now praise our latest incumbent |

Yes, it was a terrible decision i agree but those who run the club wished to buy young players, develop and sell. He was on a hiding to nothing. It’s ironic how the same people bemoaned his tippy tippy football, that now praise our latest incumbent Because the implementation is completely different. Garner let our best players go who were on a trajectory which could have seen us promoted into the championship. I was only a baby when that last happened, and many rovers supporters won’t have ever seen us at that level. He then signed players that the selling clubs were desperate to get rid of, many of whom today play at a lower level than ourselves if at all in the league system. They then were played with a possession style which barely saw us get out of our own half. We were already sliding down the league because of the failures of Garner and Tisdale in recruitment and match day performance when JB came in. I don’t think any manager could have saved that squad. JB then signed players who are looking up in their careers and the players which come from bigger clubs and sign permanently are often because we make the selling club an agreeable offer. They don’t want to let the players we get from them go for nothing. Yes our style now is a bit tippy tappy but we go for it and play an exciting attacking style of football. Some of the performances are the best football I have seen down the Mem in my adult life. For Garner, Swindon is the exception to a dire history at ourselves, Charlton and now Colchester. And even then he didn’t get them promoted and a lot of the talk was that it was the recruitment guy who make the difference there. |

BG seemed to get lucky at Swindon as he had a very good DoF in Ben Chorley, who signed players like McKirdy, and Head Coach Scott Lindsey, who's now turned Crawley around this season.
It appears at Colchester he's got more of a free reign and just mirroring what he did at Rovers, just signing youngsters and just letting the more experienced players leave.
No idea where he goes if he gets the sack at Colchester, as surely no other league club will risk appointing him.
GC also seems to be struggling at Newport and you fear his days could be numbered.

No way about GC. His budget is way, way less than any other team in the league. (Might change if they fully approve the move from a fans owned club) and the ex Swansea chairman is ratified. They have suffered many injuries to experienced players like Bogle and our ex defender James Clarke at the start of the season and have have to rely on about 5-6 ex league of Wales players in their match day squad ie equivalent of Hulbert and Tomlinson on peanuts. Avoiding relegation in those circumstances would be a contender for league 2 manager of the year. |

I can't see any club standing by a manager when they go 10 or more games without a win. Next week's Walsall game is looking a must win for GC.

It’s ironic how the same people bemoaned his tippy tippy football, that now praise our latest incumbent Yes, he did well at Swindon with support around him to get into the play-offs (semi-finals not final). But if he fails at Colchester I’m not sure there’s a way back for him in the EFL and he’ll end up on the London/Home Counties non league circuit. 3 fails out of 4 managing posts isn’t the best look. Hindsight is always easy but when he had done well at Swindon he was badly advised or perhaps delusional to take the Charlton job in the circumstances at the time. (Charlton were being taken over and everyone knew that it needed an experienced manager like the new man Michael Appleton. Dean Holden, just sacked, was the same as BG had no chance there) I know Swindon were still in a financial hole and were probably pleased to get the compo money for him but he should have stayed there. After a good season he would have had some goodwill to give him time to build something. But yesterday losing to FGR 0-5 was an awful sign. I don’t think he’ll recover from that. But come on KP, to compare the football of BG which was tippy-tippy with no purpose to that we play now is way off. We do play possession football but we have a squad which is suited to that with experience and pace in the team. It is about how we use the possession-based football and that is just years above what BG was trying to do. Irrespective of what I think about JB, the football I’ve seen is far better although it must be said he’s been allowed to collect the best squad for some time for which he is now under pressure to achieve. I still wonder on occasions but when it works it has been excellent, Wigan, Port Vale, occasions at Pompey, Charlton and last week for large chunks of the Oxford match. JB has to find some consistency which I’m sure he’s aware of. But compare JB to BG, no, no, no. UTG! |

View AttachmentBeer Albion v North Molton.Richard Walker there and playing again for their reserves.1-1.They have a 'Sin Bin' in their league where players guilty of dissent go off for ten minutes. In some cases I'd be happy to give the ref my full and Frank opinion in exchange a 10 minute chill out |
