22 points from 17 league games. This from the manager who said: "...there's a reason why I took this job and that group of players is one of the main ones." OK then. Remember when you predicted top 6 under your hero twice , maybe Taylor had the same daytime drinking session you had ..😂😂👌🏻 Rolling around here giggling, shoulders going as well, if Taylor had been drinking, any top 6 must have been under the influence of class A drugs, crack! |

22 points from 17 league games. This from the manager who said: "...there's a reason why I took this job and that group of players is one of the main ones." OK then. 25 points. Plus we're higher in the table than we were 17 games ago (one place admittedly, but that's still a *bit* better) Who knows what's actually going on with the current group of players in the dressing room? Not us, as Taylor keeps it all in-house, which is a good thing - far better than the previous regime - but Taylor leading this group of players has not seen the club fall down the table into the relegation battle that many on here were predicting... Apologies. 25 from 18, which is 64 points over a season. Who predicted we'd get relegated? Absolutely right it's better keeping it in house as opposed to Barton's shenanigans. Still hardly inspiring though. |

Over a season that PPG would put us on 73 points. Plays offs or just outside. Taylor’s done a pretty good job in my opinion. If he can get to the play offs or just outside next season then I’ll be pretty happy about that , obviously there’s always going to be some that don’t like him, even DC had a few. How can Taylor have done "a pretty good job" when he's just carried on a similar run to Mangan, who had no previous managerial experience? The owners admitted they had a poor January, what was that down to, a poor scouting network etc, if so then why on earth was Chris Spendlove promoted? (Roady seems to have totally ignored JB's dodgy mate getting promoted) or the fact no senior players were interested in playing for MT? We now face a massive summer rebuild, I'm not convinced GF & MT are up to the task, looking at Rotherham this season then MT messed up totally last summer with the biggest budget they'd ever spent. |

While on the train home, really Enid Blyton hahaha. Only Gordons and Hoole's nearest and dearest would think either could be classed as being a footballer, the pair are absolutely shocking, and watching them yesterday I am sure, even good old monotone Matty, must be thinking I cannot play these two clowns in the first 10 games of next season, or I will be back looking out of the sunny window with Mr Tisdale by November. Perfectly entitled to your opinion, but you may have witnessed Gordon walking round the pitch and receive very warm applause by supporters all around the areas he walked. Both very young with scope to improve physically and mentally to professional football and a chance to learn about the dark arts and gain vital experience and know how. The FACT that thousands of youngsters don't make it by the age of 16 and both Hoole and Gordon have been signed on by clubs and then have contracts renewed and selected by several different managers, perhaps show they may have some ability? Both have only recently recovered from injury and have not been included in settled sides. I would guess that if they were playing full back for a confident, quality side like Derby, who have various fast forward minded players that give their defenders many passing options, some open minded Rovers fans would be thinking, if only we could develop young players like that. When Hoole and Gordon got the ball and looked up, what options did they have? Forward to Martin, who was superbly marshalled all game and didn't get a sniff, a Beckenbauer wonder ball to the opposite wing, or a sideways pass to the midfielders who were quite often level(or behind them), or an easy ball back to retain possession? If he had EA in front of him to come and show for the ball, I would imagine a lot more people would rate Gordon. I like Vale but he seems to have been badly affected by his illness and concentration seems to have suffered. It maybe easy in hindsight but several times Gordon had to stick or twist, meaning go to the player that ran past Vale or stay with his own man, or when he made ground upfield and then have to backtrack to get back into position after Finley gave the ball away. Good sides like Derby take advantage of those slips. Just mark it down as a bad day at the office. No shame in losing to a quality team, but a big learning curve for Hoole and Gordon. I for one was glad to see Gordon communicating to older more experienced colleagues - asking them to show for a pass, or why they did not shout that he had time, when he just headed the ball out for a throw. To me it shows he cares and that he is developing, as he always appeared quiet before. As I said before, Gordon at age 24, with 50 to 100 plus appearances is going to be a different player to Gordon at 21. Oh and I am not his or Luca's nearest or dearest! |

Will MT offer both Gordon and Hoole new contracts as add Connolly and McCormick to those two and that's four squad places taken already for next season for just young fringe players this season in just a mid-table L1 side.
Can MT do better for the money getting in a couple of more experienced FB's, or better performing youngsters, than those two?

Oh and I am not his or Luca's nearest or dearest! even though we concdeded 3 thought the defence was the best part yesterday. As you said no one in front of them wanted the ball and options were limited up top with a lack of pace to make them uncomfortable. Too defensive a set up from the beginning. |

Mangan did a pretty good job and then Taylor took over and has done a pretty good job. Perhaps it feels like they’ve done better than they have because we were so awful under Barton other than a short spell were we won promotion and then there was garner , Tisdale before that. Taylor’s PPG is decent enough considering he’s only had a jan window where there were no staff in the building to aid him. |

How can a team get promoted over a "short spell" pretty certain that spell lasted at least a year from when we turned the corner in L2 to the demise set in around late December in L1. Since then we've had the best part of 18 months of mainly MEH football. |

The facts remain that Barton couldn't get us higher than 17th in league one , where as MT has kept us mid table , and that with the unsettled team due to injury / illness |

Time to start looking forward, this season has given us
1. New Owners
2. New Manager
3. New Coaches
4. New structure, especially around recruitment.
Lets see if they all work well together.

I doubt fans will be so accepting this time next season if we're still only around mid table. |

This summer will be interesting as we must be looking at a dozen plus new players? New GK/Ward New RB (Hoole?) CT/Wilson(?) New CB New LB/(Gordon?) LT (New LW) Evo/Ward Conteh (Finley?) New LW (x2) New Striker (LM) Martin |

People are predicting a similar season , but if he gets in players in HIS mould , we may be pleasantly surprised.
The football has been pretty turgid , but if its non pretty promotion winning footie , I'll take that.
No second tier football in 31 years FFS
