I just think that in some of his performances last season and at Northampton this season, he(mildenhall) lacked the trust of the back four. Nicholls doesn't seem like he communicates with the back four either, Newports third goal could of easily been stopped if nicholls shouts to parkes thats he's there but instead it was like parkes wanted to give it back only as a last option and as a result mistimes the header and Newport get a goalscoring oppertunity. Getting a good reliable goalkeeper is an absolute must because it's a position that we have looked shakey, our wingers are decent and we have lots of cover in the CF position even if they can't hit the back of the net if their life depended on it in certain games After all its not like Parkes had a big opposition CF pushing him in the back as he tried to head the ball! Possibly not but he had one pushing him when he scored the own goal,oops not meant to say that am I?Parkes is useless after all and all his mistakes,unlike the keeper,are indefensible

After all its not like Parkes had a big opposition CF pushing him in the back as he tried to head the ball! so is it the goalie or the defenders who don't communicate? Both to be honest, Nicholls is a competent keeper don't get me wrong, in fact some of his distribution is great but he is just too unreliable and lacks the confidence and bravery he needs to be a good loan keeper for us

Not even sure he's a fan? I write a blog free of charge because Rovers are in my blood and I've supported them for 48 years. I don't get paid anything, regardless of "hit rate" and, yes, sometimes my stuff is not rose-tinted and I identify things that can spark a debate. Like this one. All I seem to get out of it is a load of earache from my fellow supporters. What entitles you to describe yourself as 'fans' Baggins, or Curly Wurly, or all the others on here who just want to knock anything that doesn't fit into their way of looking at things? You've just complained vehemently about the Bristol City Post, then knock a Rovers fan for putting up Rovers content that people might read and wish to debate. Yes, I could make it a lovey dovey, boring, "why I love my Rovers" piece every week but what's the point if no one will read it? Fortunately I get enough positive comments from others to make it worthwhile.So you're content to mostly slag off the club in the local rag because you get a bit of praise, problaby from people with hidden agendas like BP's "Old Frank", how sad is that? Strewth talk about someone with an agenda Topper. If you see the Post, which I assume you don't bother with because you hate it so much, you will notice I get slagged off regularly, normally by sh**heads, so I can't be saying anything they approve of either. I write it because I believe in what I say, there is no pressure on me to "get clicks" for advertisers, or for me to deliver every week because James McNamara says I can write what I want, when I want. I have been so frustrated in the past because reporters have to tread so carefully around subjects that should be addressed, that when the Post invited people to blog for them I thought I would take the opportunity. Surely this game is all about debate, otherwise why do we bother? And your regular criticism that I don't get to enough games is wearing pretty thin. People know I work for a Sunday newspaper, therefore have to work on Saturdays. Every chance I get though, including paying more than £600 to see us at Cambridge, I take. I had to book a hotel because I would miss my last train, take two days off work which cost me nearly £500, plus petrol and ticket to get in the ground at Cambridge. Bit much for someone who isn't really a fan, don't you think? I've had enough of this "holier than thou" rubbish you spout. Love to join your "superfan" club but obviously I'm not worthy.

You should write the blog on here or another fan site because you would reach more gasheads and not come under as much criticism from sh*theads, the Bristol post website has so many adverts that I don't think many gasheads use it anyway, keep up the good content and don't listen to the "few" who just like to have a good moan

How can fans debate anything on the awful B Post website? Not sure who suggested you weren't a fan as it wasn't me but you by your own admission you rarely get chance to see Rovers play. The ones that do have no real concerns at the moment Nicholls is up to the goalkeeping task for the next month before his loan spell ends, barring any more howlers.

There is a very good discussion regarding the current goalkeeper on the latest installment of GasCast (Episode 4)- worth checking out if you are interested.
Cheers

Phew, yes, much better. Thanks.

Fortunately I get enough positive comments from others to make it worthwhile. I quoted you directly from the article where you said you were not a fan. Of course you were referring to Nicholls. Truth is if you are willing to dish it out, then you need to be able to take some criticism yourself, even if you don't agree. There are plenty of people that seem to enjoy negative criticism of the team more than supporting. That has been the case for years at the ground and it is something that I have never really understood. You produced a blog one week that took a swipe at Harrison and one a week later had a go at Nicholls, based on limited evidence. Anyway, you'll be pleased to know Nicholls had a good game yesterday.

Some seem to enjoy criticising our players more than others. I guess that is my point.

Being a journalist, don't you think he is writing for what he thinks are the majority on here from what he has read? I haven't read much from others on here but has he written a blog about a Rovers player, Tom Lockyer for example and exploited his flaws? If not then it's just your typical Daily Sport garbage without the tits.

I'm not sure whether this will happen to Nichols.
But- when De Gea went to United he started off very dodgy. Now he's the best keeper in the world.
Back on form yesterday. Let's see how to goes.

Although he had little to do yesterday what he did he did do well, I and it was great to see the Blackthorn give him some good applause when he was almost taken out by the Carlisle player when punching the ball clear.

V pleased about Nicholls, Curly, glad he impressed. My point on the fan criticism was that you weren't debating the point, your criticism was completely personal. Fair enough, I can take it. I would point out though that my piece on Harrison was full of praise for him. I wasn't knocking him as a player I was saying that if he concentrated on the pitch and ignored things going on off it, he might squeeze into Chris Coleman's Wales squad. I tried to choose my words carefully because he's someone we should be lauding for being "One of our own" not knocking because he's been seeing watching a Bristol City match. But, in turn, he needs to understand that you get a small minority at every club who will send you vindictive tweets etc, and he shouldn't view the whole fanbase as against him - which I was afraid he might be doing. Even though he said in an interview he wasn't bothered by the reaction, his actions suggested otherwise. It wasn't a piece meant to "have a go" or knock his confidence, it was an effort to gee him up in what he should view as a very important year. After all, Euro 2016 might be the only chance he gets in his lifetime to go to a major football tournament if Wales past record is anything to go by. Giggs, Hughes, Rush, Southall, Ratcliffe, Yorath, Saunders... none of them every got the opportunity.

Let's see how to goes. Keepers naturally take a bit of time to adjust. The Newport and Chesham errors were just that though, no excuses. My point is that we should see him settle with the back four over the next few weeks, and with increased confidence less mistakes will be made.
