I actually don’t think McGhee is that bad a manager. He came in after the Buckle debacle (deBuckle, heh) and turned things around nicely. I wouldn’t be surprised if, having previously been at clubs like Wolves, Leicester, Motherwell, even Millwall, he became disillusioned with his position over the summer of 2012 when faced with the reality of how things operated at Bristol Rovers under the previous regime. If you look at MM’s managerial record it’s not terrible.

Thinking of doing the gas dashboard, so you'll be able to view fixtures, results, hightlights, interviews and articles all on one page. Anyone think this would be of use? This would be amazing, especially if mobile optimised. Sometimes I get so frustrated trying to use the official site or BBC website for fixtures/results/tables that my eyes bleed. Something along the lines of what you've suggested above would be much appreciated by many, I have no doubt.

Monty changed the game when he came on I think. We looked so much sharper going forward and he and Brown linked up very well down the left hand side. I think Moore had his best game in a Rovers shirt as well, although he still looks unfit/lacking match sharpness. I was baffled that Sinclair came off and Gaffney stayed on as we lost our bite in the middle with Sinclair’s departure and Gaffney was beyond awful for 85 of the 90+ minutes he was on the pitch. Sinclair played well as always last night, but surely we had a best period of the game after he went off? Not sure that would have happened if we'd lot our bite in the middle? UTG Well we went 4-4-2 which definitely had an effect. I don’t think we were better because Sinclair came off but rather because Monty came on and had Monty replaced Gaffney instead of Sincs then I think we would have been better still. However that’s nothing more than speculation and there’s no way of knowing what would have happened had that change been made. What I do know is that it was a cracker of a match and 12/13 of our boys had really good games and I don’t think you can ask for much more than that against the league leaders.

I thought he was excellent when he came on. Very impressive especially against a top team. Ball control, thinking, passing, running off the ball, tackling back and a great shot which produced a great save. Well done Monty Monty changed the game when he came on I think. We looked so much sharper going forward and he and Brown linked up very well down the left hand side. I think Moore had his best game in a Rovers shirt as well, although he still looks unfit/lacking match sharpness.

9/10 write up. Would have been 10/10 but it all got a bit '50 Shades' when you started talking about Pre-Season '16.
Makes me laugh when people don't see the value of Sincs when we lose but rave about him when we win. His game up at the Bescot was as good, if not better, than his game against Swindon but he got hammered by some in the crowd and on here after the Walsall game.
Absolute legend is our Stuey and I'd be very interested to know our win percentage with him vs without over the last three seasons.

Phillips Leadbitter, Elliott, Lockyer, Brown Disley, Campbell, Lines (Mk 2) Lambert, Judas Ollie Clarke is playing brilliantly at the moment but Campbell was immense for us for a long time. Also based on the couple of games he has played Sweeney may be our best Centre Half since Tilson and could edge it over Elliot for me. However Brunt looked a world beater in his first few games and Roberts and Lambert looked crap in theirs therefore I didn't want to put him in a best 11 as too early to judge. Starting with 9 I see. That's fairly unorthodox.

Was 07/08 the promotion season or the first season in league 1? The latter.

Such a scummy club. It genuinely baffles me that they can justify their existence, let alone take the moral high ground like they do.

If they didn't know the release fee they would not have offered 300 k, it is bent and they should pay the other 1.2 million to reach market value. I wouldn't be surprised if the release fee is something like £311,111 and that is what City offered. Which would be a hilarious mistake on their behalf as it would indicate prior knowledge. Sadly I can't see that a) we'd be smart enough to make the release clause an obscure amount like that, nor b) that C*ty would be foolish enough to match it exactly. We live in hope though, as that really would be divine justice.

He actually was quoted as saying he had watched Luke James video of goals for Hartlepool and that he scored some good 1 on 1s something Taylor never did - have to say he has a point ..... Anyone who doubts James can score goals given a run should watch the video. ) Two against us in 13/14. Luke James sent the Gas down... As has been said elsewhere, there's something of the Marcus Stewart about him, and it's not just the floppy hair. Would love it if he started scoring for fun. Bloody love it.

Sheffield United fans on Facebook seem to rate him tbf. Nothing but positivity on tw@tter either. Could be a very useful acquisition. At the very least we now have cover for our weakest link defensively.

In the summer of 2014 young Matty Taylor found an old pair of Geoff Bradford's boots in his attic. Late for a training session with FGR and unable to find his Adidas Predators, Matty was forced to wear the old, heavy, brown leather boots. And miraculously, wearing those boots, instead of the inept, Conference wannabe he had been for his entire career previously, Matty was suddenly a dead shot in front of goal, and through the mysterious boots, the supernatural inheritor of Geoff's goalscoring powers. Tipped off by a psychic tea lady, Nick Higgs got Darrell to check out the young lad up at Nailsworth, and Darrell was suitably impressed. The rest is history. Until, that is, over Christmas inscrutable Chinese government agents in search of new talent for the emerging Chinese League decided to kidnap Matty and force him to play for Chiang Yuan Dragons. They forced their way into his home and tried to bundle him and his boots into their black Range Rover. Unfortunately for them, Locks and Manse were making their way back from an evening at the Willy Wicket, and were passing Matty's house at exactly that time. They waded into the fray and managed to save Matty. However, the Chinese agents escaped and took Geoff Bradford's boots with them. Darrell, realising that without his magic boots, Matty would be just another non-league journeyman, decided to accidentally on purpose tip off Ashton Gate to the striker's availability, in the process, sabotage their plans to stave off inevitable relegation. And they fell for it, hook, line and sinker. So, BCFC1982 have sent agents scouring the length and breadth of China looking for Geoff's boots, in a desperate effort to find them in time for Matty to come on in the last five minutes against Rotherham. That's what I heard, any way. I've heard something similar. This rumour could have legs.
