To be fair, McCormick was starting to play well this season under Barton until he got injured. But that doesn't fit certain posters agendas, the fact LM sort out JB after he scored the winner at Charlton shows how much support he must have been giving him. To be fair- I didn't think Barton should've been sacked. I've stated this. But it's head in the sand to pretend he didn't fall out with people. Yes, LM turned his form around but it took a season. |

He's been brilliant last 2 games for me. It's funny how we all see things differently. To me, McCormick was wasteful, disinterested and lightweight yesterday. Time for a Specsavers trip. I must of been watching the same game as you Dr , thought he was lightweight and very wasteful. |

Like McCormick yesterday.
Hard working. Quietly effective. Shut down play high up the pitch. Found space when not anticipated. Played easy passes.
Twice ran into good goal scoring positions. These surging runs will lead to goals over time.
Needs to link play and wall pass more in midfield at times. Probably capable of making a greater impact when fully match fit.

We've just sent Bogarde & Wood back and lost Ward to injury & Finley to illness?? If Ward hadn't done his hamstring v Norwich we could well be looking forward to a trip to Anfield next week and a win yesterday. It seems always the case at Rovers in recent years in L1, we've a decent first 11 but lack any depth once we lose any players, perhaps that'll always be the case until we ever redevelop the Mem and match the top 8 teams for playing budgets. Have we not had a top eight budget this season? I've no idea how our budget compares to the top 8 when even our own playing budget is never officially disclosed. The top 8, attendance wise, are averaging 2,000 fans more each home game, surely they have got far bigger playing budgets? The attendance table seems to reflect where we are in the league table: www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/attendances |

In full agreement here, high energy, gets around the pitch no problem, but wasteful in front of goal, in possession and clear lack of quality on the ball. |

What’s going on wrong? The lack of seating/tents at the Mem given around 9,000 was probably our capacity for home fans this season? Plus the biggest attendance allowed was around 10,000, so no 12,000+ gates to boost the attendances figures. |

They also have innovative membership schemes that reduce the price to less than £21 per match if you buy a six match package, and you benefit from a £2 per match discount for every match thereafter. Carlisle charge £20 for a terrace ticket if bought in advance or £23 if bought on the day. |

We’ve had limited capacity and multiple sell outs.
The new stand is still in test mode
Agree they need to offer better pricing but let’s give them the chance to do that.

Is it possible that some of these sides have seen increased attendances this year? I know non league football has had a boost in fans? I don’t remember these sides getting more than 6k before.

What’s going on wrong? Obviously the reduced capacity has affected that massively and we would be on nearer 8750 to 9k otherwise imo. However imo we do have a dwindling fan base in general. Unfortunately for the last 5-8 years we have lost the majority of newcomers / neutral support to the sh** due to their facilities. They always had double our crowds but now get triple. The club need to wake up to this and encourage as many children to games as possible as soon as we have the facilities for families to attend and enjoy. |

We seemed to have plenty of fans when there was the prospects of playing Liverpool?
To be fair to the club they are doing something by at last building a decent stand, once that's finally open and we return to playing decent football then there's really no excuse for fans not turning up in numbers, assuming we get the pricing right.

In the first interview with the new owners after sacking Barton, they said: "For that budget, comparing to the other budgets in the league, we should be around the top eight, if not better." That sounds very much like we have a top 8 budget. |

Doesn't my post just repeat what I'm saying now, there's zero evidence we have anything like a top 8 budget. If we have then it's hard to see where the budget was spent when you look at teams like Peterborough and Blackpool. What's ironic is JB was apparently dismissed as we looked like finishing outside the top 8 but we now look like we'll do well to finish in the top 12. |

Those prices are expensive for Northerners who probably only get paid a bag of corn and a pheasant for a days work. Were fkin rolling in it down South. |

You are not remembering that interview correctly. The interview was in October and he said they hoped to start using the South Stand by the end of November. As it turned out, they started using it for the Cheltenham game, our first league game in December. In fact there was only one game in November after planning permission had been given (Tuesday night vs Leyton Orient). So you don't believe the owners because using the stand was just one league game behind something announced in October, before planning permission was granted? It sounds like you are calling the new owners liers? You are saying that they lied about the opening of the South Stand? You are saying that they lied about the budget being worthy of a top eight position? |

What's ironic is JB was apparently dismissed as we looked like finishing outside the top 8 but we now look like we'll do well to finish in the top 12. I have found that everyone says something that turns out to be untrue at some stage - even you - but surely the big question is whether they were sincere in what they said or whether they were deliberately trying to mislead. I think that the owner based his forecast on the new stand upon information provided by people who were day to day on the project and similarly on the budget . Certain people will attend League 1 meetings at which topics will be discussed such as budget. Whether the finer points are true is unimportant as for me he seems like a genuine guy and it is the spirit of what he says that is important not the precise detail. I want us to be in the right hands so that the club survives and is heading in the right direction. As for JB the owner said that at the time that he was dismissed because of results. You however have chosen to say that is not true but that he was “ apparently dismissed as we looked like finishing outside the top6.” Are you now doing what you accuse the owner of doing and misleading people or do you have facts to back up your comment? The relevance of course is tha results show a trend and after nearly 3 years in a job - it is a fair assessment of progress. After a couple of months and with someone else’s players - not so. Is your entire comment hypocritical? |
