Need new CBS, and the bearded 1. Leads should play R.M. Everyone else is out of position, I think this could actually work. Think leads should be in the box for our corners too, he’s got a bit more height and I reckon he can leap high with them spangly legs.

Nice to see d.c relaxed for a change. I certainly am not. 2 new c.bs needed, we signed nudder. Defending has been awful, for far too long now and we quite simply are not addressing it. Rolling still here and not been sent out on loan as far as I have seen, maybe a soloution.
But please just drop Lockyer. Awful awful awful.

Looking at results , other fans comments on games and how players performances are rated is more than enough for me to make a comment, and it is very rarely I would criticise the players it is DC who picked the team,the tactics the formation and plays people out of position so the buck stops with him. Nah, I'm not having that. Other people's opinions on games are exactly that, other people's opinions. All you are doing is recycling the ones that fit your DC Out agenda, whilst ignoring the other views, of which there are still plenty. Why would you trust someone else's opinion more than mine, and indeed vice versa? Sorry, when people are prevented from watching the Gas first hand for whatever reason, I have every sympathy (although against Southend they were the fortunate ones!), but choosing not to go removes your right and capability to give valid criticism based on what you've seen with your own eyes. You say you rarely criticise players and that the buck stops with DC. What about when we win? Is that also nothing to do with players and all down to DC? Of course it's not. The players have to play well to win games. They also have to take some of the responsibility when we don't, as does DC. Win, lose or draw, it is always the result of a combined effort and performance. The manager has to get selection, motivation, tactics, substitutions etc right and the players have to perform on the pitch by making the right decisions and executing their skills well. Sometimes the manager gets it right, sometimes not. Sometimes a player gets it right, sometimes not. Sometimes it all comes together, sometimes not. But to just blithely say it's the manager's fault when you have chosen not to watch the games and not to form your own opinion is ridiculous. Great post. Midland Rubbish head has no mind of his own. Think you may regret admitting that 1 midland💩.

I cant see any point or gain in taking each and every player apart. Hopefully this sad forum dosnt represent the majority of rovers fans. Confidence is low and the team is struggling whats the point of putting the boot in when the team is at a low ebb? He got high praise from me last week which I felt the need to state after the game but, I didn’t start a negative against him, and stated that he took the brunt from the fans, but feel Matthews isolated him. With praise comes criticism. Look 4wd to bumping it again next week with a more glowing report on J.c but that’s down to him and his team mates.

Which of the following will cost the least? Sacking DC Relegation to League 2 Bringing in a CB on loan. New skipper and c.b ‘sssssss?

yes, fair enough comments, but we’re powder puff, all over the pitch in a nutshell. He was a backup defender in the conference and somehow this season dc thinks he’s a regular starter. Might be wrong but think we signed him when we were league 2?

Well I started this thread last week, so I will bump it with a almost complete opposite view to last week, but to be fair Matthews wasn’t any help. J.c got a lot of stick from crowd tonight but I thought he was doing the right thing standing up to there quality winger and not getting a foot in trying to hold them up. Lacked any support but ultimately not great. Kelly played alrighty.

Another couple of goals where Tom Lockyer is not doing his job. Time to drop him for good. Free up the budget.

Who gives a f**k if he acted like every other away player last night, he served us superbly over 321 games and seven years AND SENT US UP. Sir Rickie scored twice at the Mem the season he joined Saints and celebrated both of them, we still laud him. Browner could kick the ball away all he wants, he is still and will forever be a Gas legend after *that* goal on May 7, 2016. I agree but was there any need to shout f**k off to the crowd? He wasn’t getting any stick, just poor in my opinion. But yes still Gas legend and always will be. He swore at leads, not the crowd. Was a corner. That Lino had a great view of the hand ball (I was directly behind him) but still waited for the ref to award the pen. That makes my water boil.

Mcburnie only ever came on for the last five or ten minutes of games, hardly surprising he did not do a lot. Another loan signing wasted by our manager. Well when mcburnie was here we were on a long winning run with gaffney and taylor scoring for fun. Which one would you have dropped during the promotion run in? O. Mc B would have got twice as many as nob Rott without pens. Obviously .......

I think its an awkward arrangement having james clarke and liam sercombe struggling to make light of playing in a position which isnt natural to them. Totally agree that jc played well and gave everything but hes not really comfortable there and affects it the balance of the team. Only one left footed player in a professional football team is very rare and a recipe for disaster imo. Looks comfortable along the whole back line. Once new lads fit (lb forgive I forget his name) I hope j.c can then challenge at c.b as I see that position is a priority x2 that needs addressing. Rumour is lumley is joining us on loan with a view to a perm deal. Far from reliable info but would make sense after today’s transfer dealings. And ultimately smith was awful with not just his distribution tonight and last week v accy. Keep them on there toes. Lumley fingers crossed 🤞

Not the most disastrous but ultimately disappointing evening, but a huge positive not just tonight but, so far this season is James Clarke. Missed pretty much all last season, but I think he is playing really well at l.b, He can play anywhere in the back line and I’ve always thought he’s a decent squad (cover/sub) player. I now think with his start to the season he is a hell of a lot more better than I gave him credit for. What is his natural position because I genuinely don’t know? Keep it up James. 🤜

Greetings gasheads You host us tomorrow and it’s a game we now look forward to. A quick rundown on our team as it stands. Week 1. We got played off Fratton Park by Luton but our defence was resilient and we won the game 1-0 No one was happy with the performance but everyone was happy with the result. We won playing badly, what’s the old adage? Sign of s good side winning when playing badly! Week2. We took the game to Blackpool for 75mins and deserved a 0-2 shoreline. They came back at the end but we managed a 1-2 win. Week3. Oxford came to Fratton Park and were absolutely blown away in the first 75 mins. Ben Thompson, our recent loan signing knitted everything together and oxford got out lightly. Onto Tuesday night. Hawkins is a tall centre forward who has yet to score but has 4/5 assists already. Behind him you’ll find both flanks with our game winners. Lowe and Curtis. Lowe was the torturer of oxford and Curtis did the same to Blackpool. Both have real pace, really good engines and give their markers no time. We press high up the park and could be a reason sides come into the game about minute 75. A real weakness after the strength. Thompson put in s man of the match award performance on his debut and is a real live wire who flies into tackles like his life depends upon it. Naylor and Evans make up our midfield with Naylor, lured from Burton a particularly good signing for us. Our own Jack and Matt Clarke are the CBs. Clarke is the jewel in the crown and rated very highly. The fullbacks are Walkes, a signing from Spurs who is pacy and a good understanding with Lowe already. Brown needs no introduction to you. He seems steady at the back and good going forward. His lack of pace is covered by Curtis who has enabled him to push forward well. It’s a good combination with much expected of it. Mac in goal has proved to be a good signing and commands his area well. With a strong bench including Pitman, Burgess and the recently signed Wheeler from QPR previously Exeter we boast a good back up. We as fans are not sure whether we are yet the real deal but a winning start and improving displays each time bode well. We’ve always had a good atmosphere between our sides and a healthy respect for each other’s fans. We have travelled better to you than you have at fratton but our last visit wasn’t my favourite I’ll admit. Here’s hoping for a great game and advert for league 1 football. How’s Kyle getting on with you? He always had talent but it was realised too little too often with us. Regards Bob Cool 😎 story bro. Can’t wait for the end.

I tend to stare at Alex 💕 Lovell on bbc. Can’t change me team but can certainly change the channel.
