Staggered at the negativity in this thread. We played excellently for 70 minutes. We were intense, there was a lot more passion, pace and energy and the team spirit was clear to see all over the pitch. I thought Hunt made a massive difference and him, Wilson and Sinclair led the team on the front foot from the first minute. Absolutely the subs were an error and it was also fairly obvious that what happened might happen before it did happen. Clearly this is a disappointment and took the gloss off the win to some extent. However, the first 70 minutes needs to be the headline and we move on to Saturday with a great opportunity to build and move forward. Unlike some, I’d love Taylor to succeed and hope this is the turning point. Unlike some you’d love Taylor to succeed? Unlike who? Every fan WANTS the manager to succeed just because they criticise him or think he’s not doing very well doesn’t mean they WANT him to fail. What a daft thing to say You honestly believe every Rovers fan wants Taylor to succeed? Are you a member of any of the Rovers Facebook groups? |

What a daft thing to say “Monotone Matt” “PT2” Some have had it in for him since day one. Might not be many but it isn’t a stretch for some to be desperate for him to fail. Typically because they haven’t let go of his predecessor. |

I see plenty of criticism of him for sure and plenty of others want him sacked but I haven’t ever seen anyone say that they WANT him to fail! |

3 points - check
3 goals - check
Great performance from the starting 11 - check
minutes for the 5 subs - check
We go into the Burton game with a bit of confidence. I predict another 3 points.
It will come good - stop wetting your pants gasheads.

Definitely got the impression tonight quite a few in the Thatchers were disappointed to win and didn't get the chance to boo and scream for Taylor out as they did Saturday, all a bit odd to me although at least we've not had anyone turning up at the training ground yet like we saw in DC's early days ha
Good 3 points tonight now let's follow it up Saturday! UTG

We have a bloke on here who moans about Rovers signing someone he recommended! Let's face it there are some that will never be happy and use Rovers as a medium to take out the frustrations of the shortcomings in their own lives. |

I don't want him to fail, I'd like us to be top of the league but when you have struggled for points and you're 3-0 up at home in a game that could give the whole squad a massive lift what manager would replace almost half the team with substitutes? That's the problem and that's what brings his managerial skills into question.

That's the problem and that's what brings his managerial skills into question. As others have said, making a couple of subs where you are looking to avoid injury to key or older players is understandable. But to change half the team is mad especially when most of the players coming on are more interested in trying to show the manager they should be getting selected rather than boring us all by closing the game out. So instead of us slowing the game down and playing out time with as little drama as possible our subs were running around all over the place trying to impress the manager opening the game right up for the opposition to have a go at us. |

Happy and Mad
so happy to see 3 great goals and IMO total domination.
mad that taylor made 5 changes and totally buggered the rytham of the game.
charltons first was because men were left unmarked at the back. Don't think Hunt would have allowed to happen. Guess what he was replaced by subs.
Charltons 2nd was just lazy defending and not being switched on.
Jury still out on Taylor as i think his game management leaves a lot to be desired.
Happy but frustrated gashead

A few considerations... I think it's good for players to get their fitness up to complete a full 90 mins. There were close battles all over the pitch and we started losing more of them with all the changes. It's understandable the the manager is maybe trying to keep everyone happy by giving them game time.

More of that and we will be more than okay. I understand the subs, but feel they upset the team a bit too much again. Think some players just need t finish the game out and the full 90 and if they aren't fit enough to start the next game make the rotations then Keep that pace, intensity and I thought when we had the ball we kept it pretty well. Keep all that up please Gas. Bretahing room for the manager and a performance that backs up what the manager was asking for/saying he was trying to deliver in the summer |

Rovers came out of the box seemingly with a point to prove and there was a lot of huff and puff, but ultimately it was a first half separated by a worldie from Sincs and a half that should have been 1-1...thankfully for us Lloyd Jones put his header over the bar. Can't fault the effort and we shaded the half with Rovers showing a much better attacking intent, but still a lack of clear cut opportunities and quality.
Started the second half brightly for the first 5 minutes or so, but then just as Charlton seemed to be getting a bit more control and confidence, Lindsay produces another individual moment of brilliance. Two finishes generally out of keeping with the overall quality of the game. Then a fairly even game until Wilson's goal should have killed the contest, but Charlton dominated the last 20 minutes or so after our 5 subs in quick succession. Poor game management and a couple of disappointing goals to give away meant it was a unnecessary nervy end to the game. No matter how poor I thought Charlton were on the night (awful!), you can only beat what is in front of you and after our difficult start to the season that is a big result. Well done Rovers and Matt Taylor.
I'm just delighted we got the win and hoping it can be a catalyst to kick start our season now. Great opportunity to get back-to-back wins on Saturday with the trip to Burton 🤞 Regardless of our differing views on the manager, we are all Rovers fans and want the best for the football club! Onwards and upwards now hopefully. 🙏 UTG. 💙

The defence is still vulnerable and shaky, as emphasised with the nervy win. Sure glad Rovers managed to finally get three points against a poor Charlton side. Have Rovers turned the corner? Can’t say that I am convinced. The upcoming Burton game is likely to be the typical banana-skin outcome for the Gas!

Disregarding the needless end to the game , Im gonna give some credit here for the first time in ages. Fairplay to the boys for a billiant performance.
Up to the 70 min mark the application was great. Again the manager will need to look at himself for the shake up which bought un needed pressure , which was inevitable.
But I think last night was a chance to be happy with this set of players. For all the moaning of MT etc , all I want is the 3 points to be out of the drop zone.
A word on Charlton though , absolute pants , and strange how there form as dropped so bad. Possibly Jones being touted elsewhere so I hear.
Anyway , we move on to Burton ...

I also can't believe how vulnerable we look from any cross into our box be it corners , free kicks, throw ins. It's terrifying. But a wins a win and we desperately needed it. We just have to beat those sides around and below us and finish as far away from that bottom 4 as possible. Utg. |

Onwards and upwards now hopefully. 🙏 UTG. 💙 Agree with this. Watched on the TV with Charlton commentary. A much needed 3 points and some lovely goals. But I can't agree with those who think it was a good performance at all. Charlton were woeful and we shaded them with a touch more effort and desire. You can only beat what's in front of you, granted, but our play is bad. We are terrible in and out of possession of the ball. Poor decisions, missed opportunities to make the correct pass-Soteriou hardly featured but his movement off the ball was unnoticed by our players repeatedly. The CBs are a disaster waiting to happen and both are so careless. Good games for Mola, Lyndsay, Promise, and Sinclair for individual performance and a class above the opposition but we have a long way to go yet. As for the manager, well he needed a win to take the heat off but I think anybody who sees beyond 3 points will be wary of his ability and approach. Those substitutions were wreckless and ill thought. Plus whatever tactics or shape we are working on in training isn't coming through on a matchday. Greatful for the win and points, cautious about the next match. |

MT future will be decided by the results MT can get. If he coaches well and picks the right team with the right tactics, he should be ok. But football is a results business and if the results are bad then he won't have a future here. But based on the performance and result, I am happy to give him a bit longer. |
