What about Silva, Mata, Eriksen, Coutinho etc? They're all small? Do I win a prize. I never mentioned height. Colkett won't play in the prem (firstly not good enough) - secondly he has the wrong shape / build, too bottom-leg heavy. If I'm wrong in the future I'll eat someone's hat. This is satire, right?

Thought I was having an opinion on the game/goal? If Roos had stood on his lin Harrison would of had a direct run at goal as it was Roos seems to have pushed him out wide, the big issue surely is why Locks & Hartley were sleeping to let him get behind them in the 1st place, once he got in that position you'd put money on him to score, rather than a goalie to save the shot? No, Roos hadn't pushed him out wide, because that was the guy's first touch. Are you really saying, take that pic and move Roos to a decent spot near his line, that you'd put money on the bloke to score. We should probably sign him up, then. No one's disputing that the defence were mainly at fault. Roos has been beyond awful since we've signed him, and should have done much better with 90% of the goals he's conceded, but unfortunately he's our only option. There's no future for Puddy at Rovers, and I really don't think he'd fare much better anyway, so DC has no choice but to stick with Kelle. We have to hope that he finds some of the form he apparently displayed at Wimbledon last season. He's still very young and could yet prove to be a decent keeper. As fans I hope that we try and support him as it's clear his confidence is pretty low at present.

Hours when the centre could be used - only after 6 pm in school term and not to be used by " professional sportsmen" The way we've been playing lately it wont be used by professional sportsmen...

* The two trialists played up front. Jae Kim particularly impressed. Good on the ball, good movement off, and slammed home his goal * Cook scored with a powerful well-placed header. Didn't look out of place but tired towards the end. * Moore has undoubted skill but shirks 50/50s. * Broom didn't really seize his chance. OK, but I hoped for more. * Mansell tried to boss things, could be in the running for a recall. Lawrence did a few nice things but I can't see him forcing his way back * Puddy had a tidy, competent match. I'd have him back for Saturday. * Although he scored Bodin flitted in and out of the match * Kilgour went off injured to be replaced by Sam Iles Highlights are up. Fantastic header from Ross Cook. If we don't sign him we should get him in to do some coaching with Gaffney and Harrison who are both absolutely woeful in the air.

I believe picking Roos as man of the match was just sarcasm. He is not the man for the job. His reactions remind me of corporal Jones in dads army , half a second to late when standing to attention, His reactions and anticipation is just to slow. It's like he's been sedated his reactions are that bad:

Well, nobody told Lee Brown! Lee brown is a left back and a very good overlapping left back and one of the best left backs in my 35 years supporting the club.. Ask him to play as a wing back with no winger in front of him and continue to do it and you might as well move him on. If he could tackle he'd be class. Unfortunately he can't.

The manager is under huge pressure now. The current results are woeful. Do shut up you tedious little man.

remember these darlings of the forum? forum users loved them and pleaded with clarke to urgently sign these brilliant players,remember? so where are they now? I'm not sure I've ever heard of Ryan Higgins. When were we linked with him? Personally I have no opinion on LDV or Tubbs but I always liked Dawson and he seemed to like us (he was at Wembley to see us promoted). It's impossible to say how he would have done had he resigned but he played a role in that season so we should be grateful for that. Not really sure I understand the point of this thread. Is it aimed at someone/anyone in particular?

Pay off or move on... Harrison Gosling Manse Roos Macca Puddy Mildy Lawrence Ollie Lucas Malpass James Kilgor Greenslade Would keep Manse, Macca, Ollie Clarke, Luke James and Alfie Kilgour personally. Would then need two keepers, another centre back, another central midfielder, another wide option and another striker. I'd like a left back as well because I feel defensively Lee Brown isn't good enough. Can't imagine we'll see six new signings in January though. Time will tell.

So the manager knows what he needs/wants (after giving players a chance) the board are prepared to back him. We are back in league one Clarke and Wael out And Taylor, the useless penalty merchant. Let him go on the cheap, he's not as good as Stewart was.

Taylor is nowhere near as good as any of the strikers we've ever received decent money for. I would be biting off the hand of any club offering 1m. How do you work that view out? The likes of Stewart and Hayles were sold when we were a Div 1 side from memory so how do you know MT can't score in the Championship? MT could score 20 goals before the end of the year, how many Rovers players have done that in the last couple of decades? It's utterly bizarre. All Taylor has done is score goals and still some on here are desperate for him to fail. Pathetic really.

Taylor will never be like Stewart he was different class,I would put Taylor more in the Hoskins camp Absolutely spot on.Comparing those two is nothing short of ludicrous. Taylor has scored more goals in about 30% fewer appearances for a start...

City paid £1m for a 32-year-old Lee Trundle 8 years ago... If we get anything less than £3m we've been robbed.

Looking at the highlights I think that Roos should have done better with all of the goals. He's come in for some pretty harsh criticism so far this season and I understand that while the goalkeeper is in a much more precarious position in that all mistakes are polarised I can't help but feel that some of that criticism is starting to look justified.
KR looks devoid of any confidence at the moment and it seems to be having a big impact on his game, which I imagine isn't helping the defence in general. Hopefully something can be done about that in the coming weeks.

No. You start by picking your BEST players, then just change any that aren't fully fit. Not tired, just not fit. Just like football has done for over 100 years. As I said before, the league game was much more important, so the rest, if any was required, should have been against Crawley. Haven't you worked it out yet? The reason we are in the top 10 of League 1 with what is fundamentally a Conference squad plus a few loans is because DC DOESNT approach games like every other manager has for the last 100 years. His approach is to win games by finishing them with his strongest attacking team, not starting with his strongest attacking team. Look at when we score our goals, how many points we pick up in the last 15 minutes. That isn't chance. That's what DC does. That's what he did on Saturday with the added complication of some tired legs. Please tell me you don't want DC to stop being DC because that's what I read in your post. Some people will always think that they know best, that's predominantly why football forums are a thing. We are in a fantastic position compared to where we were when DC took charge and we are still on an upward trajectory so personally I have absolutely no reason to question DC’s methods. Yes I stood on the terrace on Saturday somewhat bemused by the team selection but at this point he’s earned more than enough of my trust for me to be happy that the side he puts out and his gameplan give us the best chance of taking three points. For someone to think that they know otherwise indicates an ENOURMOUS amount of self-belief…
