Big Mistake by Wael-BG needed time to build something for the future which he would have done over 12/18 months. Rovers have a very young squad who joined because of Garner. We now go back on the merry go round looking for journey men to come and start again then get the sack if he screws up or moves on if he is sucessful. Names like Ollie and DC are just a joke. Relegation nailed on this year so Div 2 football when eventually allowed back in to watch. All those wanted him out should be happpy but wait and see what the future holds, we are going backwards and building for the future has gone. keep up the positivity 👍🏽

So BG has gone and we all eagerly await the next managerial appointment. I would like who ever gets the job to not dismiss some of the things the team have learned. on the floor, passing the ball has to be the part of the way we play. Woukd hate us to change drastically and go back to long ball as this, IMO, would be a step backwards. Thoughts my darlings ? This is obviously a joke post. Since when did we give up the long ball? Did you watch any of the games this season? What we need is some experience in the team, but the clown we've just got rid of did the exact opposite and got rid of most of them. Now we are stuck until at least January. totally agree👍🏽

Years ago a small team could go into Div2 or the championship and survive, sometimes quite comfortably. That is no longer the case. When you have teams spending 20k per week on wages, sometimes more, with big all seater stadia, then the best you can hope for, for someone like Wycombe, Burton or Yeovil is to survive for 2-3 seasons to give you a chance to build. I would say the only club to have bucked the trend in the championship would be Brentford who have grown year on year, mainly through shrewd signings and a conveyor belt of home grown talent. I think if we got to the championship now, we would struggle. Once our training ground is complete, including putting the youth team in, we could be a Brentford. We are comparably similar in terms of size. it wasn’t home grown talent? They got rid of there Acadamy, and replaced it with sh** a sh** hot scouting system. They obviously made the right decision 👍🏽

That looked like a load of blokes , coming down from a night on pills, but to be fair, they probably had a good night! All the best Graham 👍🏽

Is it me? Every decent player that leaves us ( lambert , Clarke Harris) who are a little bigger in size. Within a couple of months of leaving, seem to be the size required for a pro footballer??. I think most fans will think this, JCH looks a good stone lighter already.

I've gone for undecided. Problem for me is that I secretly agree with what everybody's saying... For & Against 🤷♂️ im the same mate, I’d like to see his philosophy work, but as it stands, it’s punch less

We desperately need a striker that actually has an eye for goal and a midfielder in the Sercombe mould. We look so toothless and a poor side. I can't see where the goals are coming from. So disheartened. We’re as punchless as an alcohol free punch

I don’t think the blame lies with the midfield; we haven’t got a decent striker at the club, if you’ve got a threat up front it takes away massive pressure, from the defence and midfield. We haven’t got one striker that will score 10 goals this season

Does anyone remember this show from the 80s? Roger Malone would interview a former player and show highlights from a memorable game with the two discussing it. It alternated between City, Rovers and Swindon. So in that spirit (and aside from the obvious ones like 2nd May 1990 or the Dagenham match) which game would you like to see repeated and which player would you have in to be interviewed? The Sunderland match where we won 4-0 with Kenny Hibbitt being stretchered off is one I'd look at. It seemed to kick-start the Francis era eventually leading to a play off final and the championship in later seasons. Bristol rovers v Doncaster 3-0 home win about 1982,ish with Terry Cooper as manager David Williams scored a free kick, and Doncaster wore green!

Someone on Newports forum claims his mate asked their manager about Sheehan and was told there is no truth in the transfer rumours: "Just rumours from a Twitter feed called EFL Hub. Never true when they predict a transfer. A mate of mine actually got the truth from Flynn. Just rumours. None of it true." Is it not possible for clubs to get these twitter sites shut down or something? There's free speech, then there's literally just making stuff up and at best wasting people's time, at worst acting as a destabilising influence for clubs. Some fans read made up stories and then throw their toys out of the pram when the club doesn't sign someone they were never in for in the first place. how about not reading it? Or just taking it for what it is? The bible, full of lies😂

Like others have said, willing to give whoever it is a chance but Hanlon would be not have been in my top 5 targets. 13 goals in 74 appearances for the Gills, 66 of those starts. That's only a little better than 1 in 6 and Gills fans would not be sorry to see him go which is not usually a good sign. Southend fans would be devastated to lose Humphrys and already consider him a club legend after just 18 months. Hanlon didn't fair any better with his first league club Colchester scoring just 2 goals in 18 appearances. Considering how few goals we've got in the team I personally feel we needed someone better, particularly if he's the only striker we're looking to sign. Agreed - on paper Hanlon would be a massively underwhelming signing and the statistics would point to him failing to get anywhere close to the goals needed to replace JCH. If he was 1 of 2 strikers coming in (and perhaps the lesser of the two) I could maybe live with it. But if Hanlon is expected to fill the gap of JCH..... well.... we would be utterly f**ked IMO. were you massively overwhelmed when JCH was signed?

The whole thing is load of bollocks! I like how the government has asked the virus to have the weekend off, and come back Monday, as it’s only 6 people together at a time.
