Not convinced but heβs done enough so far this season not to get the chop. Weβve had some tidy wins but far from enough. Big red flags though, and extrapolate our form from the first ten and youβre looking at narrowly avoiding relegation. GC style monthly league tables for me with targets based on the opposition. If he doesnβt perform, he should go. Bear in mind with extrapolating points that we've played 5 of the current top 6. I've seen an improvement game on game under BG. I don't think we'll be in any real danger of relegation this season. We look destined for mid table mediocrity.

Mets caught up with Dean from RochdaleAFC.com to look ahead to Saturdays game at the Crown Oil Arena. Rovers come into this game off the back of a 3-1 loss against Hull on Tuesday night. Despite going 1-0 up after all of 2 minutes on the clock through James Daly, Rovers conceded 3 in the second half. Unusually all three players who came on in a triple substitution got on the scoresheet. This included former Rovers man Tom Eaves. Rochdale battled back twice to secure a 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Tuesday night at home. Both goals coming from the returning Matty Lund. Dean talks about the system manager Brian Barry-Murphy has deployed this season which has seen them sit in mid-table after 9 games. He talks about the ins and outs for Dale this summer. Most notably Ian Henderson out and Matty Lund in and how this has precipitated a change in style for Dale. Both give their match predictions and for once a Dale fan is optimistic!

We'd all had a few to drink during the game. Apologies for that outburst ππ To be fair, there's a decent argument that OC for Grant could be the missing link in midfield you were talking about. Grant certainly offers almost nothing going forward compared to OC. That being said I can't count the amount of times that I got annoyed at OC for running away from the ball. Grant is always open for a pass even if he usually goes sideways or back...

This week Max is joined by Ollie and Mets fresh from the full time whistle of the Hull game to discuss a disappointing collapse for Ben Garner's men. After a bright start where James Daly put Rovers ahead, Hull completed a perfect comeback to win the game 3-1, with all three substitutes getting on the scoresheet. Mets is frustrated at Rovers' sit deep, invite pressure tactics. Ollie analyses the weaknesses in Garner's 5-3-2 formation. Max is frustrated at the midfield three's inconsistencies. The boys also talk about the move to the new training ground, aptly named "The Quarters", as well as briefly discussing new signings Ryan Jones and Ali Koiki.

Until we move away from the mem or redevelop it we won't be 'ready' for championship football.
Saying that I'd take promotion this season. Even if we did a Wycombe and got beat most weeks I'd take it for new away days, Bristol derbies and seeing the big teams rocking up to the Mem.
As mentioned earlier. If managed right it could set us up to challenge at the top of league one when we come back down.

Itβs is. But unfortunately the majority of the voting public voted in a bunch of vile money grabbing bastards to run this country. Remember next time you vote folks. Whilst I fully agree with Baggins, but food banks were around way before our current Government. So don't think it's just been a problem under the Tories. Wasn't the UK's largest food bank opened under Labour? fullfact.org/economy/why-are-more-people-using-food-banks/Yes there we're food banks under labor but use has risen hugely

Alfie for me still. He's struggling to get in the team at the moment, but he's class and he's only going to get better.

Got no problem with that. He's obviously a ted and not just saying what he thinks the fans want him to say.
Being completely honest hearing a Bristolian talk like that about their club is lush to hear, even if I don't like the team.

Woke up this morning and had to remind myself this wasn't actually a dream and we've signed him.
Was always the best player on the pitch when I saw him play against us, would have bitten your hand off to sign him at any point.
Ben's got a fantastic headache now of where to fit him in. Does he change a winning team now?

Caz is joined by Bristol Rovers legend Phil 'Percy' Purnell in a special throwback 'A Chat With' episode. From supporting Rovers at a young age on the Eastville terraces, to scoring - not one - but TWO of the most important goals in Bristol Rovers' history. Phil touches on the moment he kept us up by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win over Newport, beating Bristol City 3-0 to secure promotion AND that all important goal in the 3-0 win over Blackpool to beat our rivals to the title. Phil discusses the 5,000+ Gasheads who travelled with them to Bloomfield Road and the role they played in the promotion season. We also discuss his relationship with his team-mates, The Tote End, the move from Eastville and what it was like to be a professional footballer in the 80s & 90s compared to present day. Finally, we talk about the career-ending leg break and what that then meant for Phil's life going forward. listen.gascastpodcast.co.uk/276671/5699728-a-chat-with-phil-percy-purnell

In all seriousness, I think we should discuss what we as a fanbase can feasibly do to try to nip this in the bud. Granted it would have to go to a vote between the EFL clubs, but I actually struggle to put into words how strongly opposed I am to this without just f-ing and blinding about it, and I would want us to do whatever we can to ensure that the vote from Bristol Rovers FC is a firm NO. For me, if it were to happen, I don't think I could bring myself to continue following football. The immorality is absolutely disgusting, of PL clubs first stitching us up with the EPPP, then scrapping emergency loans, then hijacking the Football League Trophy. If that wasn't enough, we now have to listen to the likes of these pricks mooting the possibly of using the demise of lower league clubs in the face of a global pandemic to further their own selfish agendas, by replacing folded EFL clubs with their academies, rather than to actually spread the wealth and help clubs and their communities. The opportunity to nip it in the bud has passed. The opportunity to show the EFL/PL that we didn't want B teams was when they were introduced to the trophy. I know it's all a bit doom and gloom, but I can't see any way that fans can counter this without being strict about boycotts. Which I don't think will ever happen.

Mets caught up with Gary Hutchinson from The Stacey West website and podcast to look ahead to Saturdays game at Sincil Bank. Lincoln have a 100% record in the league and are currently top. Rovers go into the game after a 2-0 win against Northampton at home which lifted them off the foot of the table. Gary talks about the change in style the Micheal Appleton has instigated and how it is showing fruit so far. Lincoln have scored 9 goals in the four league games so far and Gary feels there is more to come. Gary also talks about his time as Poacher the Imp and the book he wrote about his time in the suit. Both have predicted a Lincoln win unfortunately. www.buzzsprout.com/276671/episodes/5787118-scout-report-lincoln-city-a
