Can we all just think, dream and aim high?
I've been dreaming for a few years and even I can see a bright future ahead. The positivity and cool head of our manager gives me confidence. This for example:
"We've had a couple of great years and dreaming is what fans do. That's why they follow their team. I'm not going to stop them from dreaming."

Its not a dream We are on the up. I would be happy with 10th position at the end of the season as this would be all part of building a side that could survive in the Championship when we get promoted in line with our owners plans If we went up this season would we survive as some of the better teams we have played this season have shown us we have work to do. As for our ground being of Championship standard that is open to much debate

As for our ground being of Championship standard that is open to much debate Hmm, the Ground. It's all in place, DC, who could want a better Manager, Team outstanding and no question about the spirit, go ahead for the Training facilities, money to spend if we need to in the next 4 weeks, but this UWE scenario has gone from great expectations to it's not going to happen. Bit of a bummer really. Still, we're having fun and that's the main thing. |

From that end of season implosion in 2000 until DC brought us back up first time, we have had some really crap times [the period from the end of 06 until about 09 was a break from that]. For a large part of that time we were a basket case; how many times did we finish a season in the lower half of league 2, whilst watching other clubs get promoted via autos or playoffs and having been entertained? how many times did we wonder how teams came and made us look silly at our own ground?
Now I find we are looking up with our ambition and long past the mentality of trying to tread water (we couldnt even do that when we finally got found out and fell out of the league). We are top of the promoted bunch. We are in the top half of this league and moving forward in all ways. The main thing is that we retain DC's services and that when we have a bad run we don't get too wound up.
Great times to be a Rovers supporter.

We've always been pretty great as a Club but now there's that slight twinge that we could almost do something, I mean really do something. |

Just a note of caution. Our home form is looking good, although we've picked up wins recently against teams who were really struggling or below us in the table. On the other hand, our away form has really fallen away - losing to bottom sides Shrewsbury and Chesterfield. So a big test against a big club tomorrow - I think we need at least a point to show we are turning our away form round.
DC still needs to shore up our defence - we play 5 of the top 6 in Feb. So far our form against the top 7 teams is poor - 3 draws and 4 defeats.
If DC can get a couple more quality players who will be starters in all games then yes TOP 6 is ON !!!
UTG !

Got a feeling, we'll do Charlton tomorrow. |
