We probably have a top 10 budget and possibly a top 8 transfer budget this summer, I'd say we're massively under performing, having said that Rotherham are just as bad. If you push Peterboro up to 10th . Do you honestly think we got a bigger budget than these teams ?. I think we are a pretty average club admittedly under performing. www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/attendancesI doubt Reading with all their financial issues are still a top 10 club, so we could well be around 10th, at worst mid table but then we out paid virtually every side up to Wrexham (plus Posh) for transfer fees, so combined fees with playing budget we're easily in the top 10. |

It’s just not inspiring in any way is it x Were the stats really ever going to improve after Huddersfield away? If we win on Tuesday you can guarantee we won't see any more stats this week. |

I’d call him in and sack him tomorrow morning.
Sick to death of his negative post match interviews now. No ownership, terrified to lose games and set us up that way. Only uses his trusted pros, we play like we are in chains!
Even if we win Tuesday night, he isn’t the man long term.

All the remaining Taylor supporters what you thinking give him til Jan?
I’m hoping he finds his best 11 (for the third time), a formation that works and develops a style of football we can enjoy

Carlisle did is at Rotherham, we’ve had Shaun North do it, Wilson could do it, it’s how Trollope got the job being a player at the time! Topper, go and get some fresh air mate. |

Byron Anthony is more than capable of holding the fort for a game or two. I'd even have more confidence over Taylor in someone like Chris Martin to get the players playing for him for a game or two, I don't think either could be worse than the abysmal results, performances and underlying data that Taylor is producing. |

I very much doubt we have a top 10 budget. I reckon it’s probably lower midtable, which is where we finished last season and where we’re most likely to finish this season. I don’t think we’re under or over performing currently. don't forget that Evans and Collins were sold. |

I can't see Friend wanting to step down to being a manager, Carlise flopped at Rotherham and Horsman's hardly set the world alight in the past. |

We just are what we are , a lower / mid table league 1 side in a league 2 stadium with 7/8,000 crowds.
I don’t know where all this expectancy has come from tbh and before anyone says our new owner said we could be premier league one day , it was a loaded question , itv asked “ do you think Rovers could ever get to the Premier league “?
What was he supposed to say.
I’m looking forward to Tuesday nights game because it’s a chance to pull clear of the bottom pack in to mid table and I can’t think of many times we’ve been that high after 10/12 games in league 1 since DC left , if at all ?

That was awful today. Not going to call out the players who were generally not putting in a shift.
By half time supporters were calling for him to be gone.
Calling for Joey to come back.
At the end of the match he ran off down the tunnel without even looking at the fantastic travelling support.
He does not ever acknowledge the support.
Excepts no blame himself.
On we go to Tuesday, I really hope he knows what he is doing, because at the moment not many of us do. Utg

Luton and Oxford hardly have better stadium and they've managed to progress so it's not that holding us back, plus the owners have been content to right off £3m/£4m a season so that 7/8K crowds effectively becomes 12K+ turnover wise, we should be competing with the likes of Blackpool & Lincoln not the Shrewsbury's of L1. Regardless it would be OK if we were a mid table club with the hope we could push on but we a club just outside the bottom 4 with a good chance a couple of bad results could plunge us into a relegation fight, plus what enjoyment does any fan, even the biggest happy clappers, get from watching us lose virtually every away game? It's baffling how any fan can try and make out MT's having a good season when he's probably a loss or two away from getting sacked. |

I'd love to know who thought PC was worth £500K. |

Wilson has been part of the defence which has been abysmal for the past couple of seasons , who anybody thinks he's management material is the one who needs some feah air. Trollope wasn’t even getting a game, I worry about you Topper. The defence issue isn’t one man’s fault, if anything Wilson has been our player of the season so far. When Barton stormed out at half time, he took the team talk and we scored second half to make it 1-1. He was the one recently with Sinclair who addressed the players. You said no one in the club could do the caretaker role, we all know someone can, probably 6 or 7 who can and that includes Byron. Please have a rest now, clear your mind for your 12 hours on here again brother. |
