Next Rovers manager. (Official: Matt Taylor)

Wilson was an ever present at Centre Back for the Champions last season.

I loved Pritch as a player, but Jack Hunt is a far better technical player than Pritch. Not even close.

You don't get many players like Mauge anymore, they'd be sent off every week.

I think Anthony Evans is close to the Latvian, his goals and assists record is better in less games.

Mark Walters was superb of course, Cureton, Roberts and Walters in this team, would get promoted imo. I still feel this squad has far more depth overall than the squads Holloway had. Harvey Vale has been shunted at Left Back I think he could be another Eliot Anderson, he's shown glimpses. Luke Thomas has the ability, Aaron Collins is League One Player Of The year remember

Holloways squads just had clinical strikers, who could do something out of nothing.

Which this squad lacks.

Losing to a weak Crawley side as MTs first game in charge is probably the worst result we’ve had in a while. Roll on Saturday so I can wipe this from memory

Wilson was, but played in a 3 with Dan Scarr and Macauley Gillesphey rather than a 2.  At 34 you can see that the level is starting to pass him by.  At the same age Tilson was much more capable.

Pritch was exactly the type of L1 full back you need.  Technical skill at this level is lovely, but not a requirement.  To be fit, chase, tackle and communicate with your winger trumps all else.  Hunt no longer has that in his game on a regular basis or for sustained periods.

You can still be a rock in centre midfield and not be like Finley who collects cards like stamps, if youre looking at Argyle as a reference then Matt Butcher was one who stood out as being a rock in the midfield all last year.  I was hoping Woods would be the better option but so far hes managed one good game.  The others have been very disappointing.

Anthony Evans isn't the same type of midfielder as Vitas was.  You cant ask Evans to sit in the middle and spread play about, knock balls to feet, create space for himself and drive from midfield.  Evans is more of ACM who thrives in the final third,  who gets the ball into his feet to provide the final pass to his strikers, thats why he is often played in the advanced role.  We dont have anyone in the Vitas mould currently.

Agree on Vale, wasted at LB.  Luke Thomas has always been a player I admired since I first saw him at Coventry (F-I-L is a CC fan and I go sometimes) I'd love him to become a gas legend agree again, has the potential.

That was a few seasons before and the move fell through. They came in again and he rejected it

Listened to this yesterday. Interesting that Bobby is good mates with the Notts County manager Luke Williams and even more interesting is that Williams was in our youth team. Doing a great job at County.

I see your thinking mate but I dare say that it was pre-booked and regardless it is good to see players bonding outside training also. Not that it appears to count for a lot at the moment.

Yep, that is what I recall

If we have motivation and morale problems cancelling the Christmas party is not the right thing to be doing.

GC cancelled the party at half time against Southend and it worked. Cancelling a party when the troops are down because the person that hired them that many of them signed to play with because of who they were going to play for is just kicking them when they’re down.

Management (not just in the footballing world) needs to be proportional to the people you’re managing and the situation.

They hid their beers under the table when the cameras approached.
