That sometimes happens. I remember being at the Den on the last game of the season. Rovers were already relegated. We got a pretty good result that day (and some free seats/turf/goal posts). Shows how much of the game is mentality. No more anxiety or stress on making mistakes that being in a releagtion fight has. They can play with no fear of any more negative consequences from another bad result now so play more freely. But why cant we when we wont go up or down?...equally no pressure We should have a group of lads playing to stay here or earn another contract elsewhere. Should... |

won't call dragging a team to the bottom of the championship managing *Shock* *Horror* the team with the smallest budget in the Championship gets relegated. The team with the worst team gets relegated from the championship, this years casualty happens to have been assembled by Monotone (a very apt name given to him by the Rotherham supporters) the Clown Taylorrrr, which if you watched them play last week against Argyle, is unsurprising, as Rotherham were playing in disguise like Rovers are now, common denominator the incompetent Mattster. Budgets do not win football matches, skilful well organised players with team ethics and a wanting to win on a regular basis will get you up the league and possibly promoted. If you do not believe it ask any Luton, Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford supporter. |

That's why I propose Bristol Rovers Football Club go AMATEUR right away and our new band of players with "team ethics" and "wanting to win on a regular basis" will fly through the leagues! Please DM if interested. |

If you are saying that he is to blame for their performance in that game and that they are relegated because of MT, then based on that argument, Barton is to blame for where we are and that last night's performance and loss was due to Barton. You can't have it every way just to suit your agenda against MT. Either he is to blame for last night's game or on your above post about Rotherham Barton is to blame. Which is it? |

Yes. agree with all of this. Also, how is it that Rovers have so many players in the box when goals are conceded. The first goal from the long throwing, Rovers had all 11 players in the box against Reading's 5. Rovers had 7 of those players stood in a line waiting for the ball against 3 Reading's players. Yet it was 2 of those Reading players that managed to win the headers and score. Inevitably when goals are conceded, because there are so many defenders, no one takes any individual responsibility. This is where I find it a bit hard to decide whether Taylor is at fault. Obviously fingers will and should be pointed his way a bit as he is ultimately the manager but surely he won't be telling the players to not be competing for the first, second, third ball etc. Doesnt matter how you organise the players into positions in the box if they dont then take it upon themsleves to compete effectively once there? So is it the players lack of ability and desire to win those balls that is in question too, Taylor must be as frustrated with that as all of us especially being a defender himself. Basically because Brown was marking the Reading player the ball was thrown to, so once he won that header virtually unchallenged it set the move in motion for the goal. If Martin had been on the pitch you assume he would have put in a stronger challenge and so stopped the move. Resting Martin & Wilson made no sense last night. |

After watching on iFollow last night, I broke it to the kids that we had tickets for Cheltenham on Saturday. The look on their faces was as if I’d told them I’d run over the cat. I may well be going on my own.

The Slough of Despond.Just wish the season was over now.That was truly awful.No light at the end of the tunnel. I too was remembering the Ray Graydon management while enduring yet another weak uninspiring performance. Something is very badly wrong with the Rovers. Lots of excuses but little in the way of solutions. Everything was awful. No obvious game plan. No obvious tactics. No obvious team spirit. Just nothing even remotely good. I was okay about the appointment of MT having been most unhappy with Barton. But I have come to the rapid conclusion that something needs to change. Whether that is now or after he has had a chance to bring in some of his players. But I don't have a great deal of confidence in him. |
