Tried to contact Ticketmaster about my tickets last week. My email bounced back and the phone number given was ‘not recognised’. Rang Rovers ticket office and no reply so emailed tickets@bristolrovers and retail@bristolrovers - no reply from either.Luckily the tickets have arrived in the post. Not an impressive experience. With this, and lack of official official media news, dare i say its all gone back to tinpot Rovers since Joey left? Joeys customer support experience is proving a major loss at the club

Grant Ward was PHENOMENAL No exaggeration. Imo this guy is the unsung hero. He is absolute class. Great on the ball, does the dirty work, turns and breaks. I absolutely love him. Never has a bad game.

Wayne Carlisle has left Rotherham No idea if he fancies being assistant again, but MT needs someone and would be very pleased if its him Feels inevitable really

I still genuinely believe that the new owners deliberately sabotaged the signing of JCH. I think they knew Barton wouldn't be here much longer and didn't want to spend £800,000 (or however much it would be) on a player that maybe the new Manager didn't want. If Taylor decides he doesn't fit in with his model then he will then have a reasonable budget to buy someone who does. Had Rovers bought JCH Taylor would be stuck with him and not be able to buy anyone else (well, not a decent player). I have absolutely no confirmation of this and it is only my theory...but it certainly fits and could well be true. If they didn't believe Joey would be here, they would have sacked him at the time.

I’m pretty sure the players have downed tools and he’s lost the dressing room Agree. Disgusting the lads were forced to commute 3 hours today too, it's caused us problems in this first half

So glad to see this. Think there have been some massive overreactions from fans in the last few weeks. Hopefully we can build on this (and not collapse second half ofc!)

Good chance for some fringe players tonight. Hope we see some fight!! Yep and they should still be good enough to win this game. A good opportunity for them to stake a claim.

Hate to hear half-time boos. New manager’s first home game. We’re better than that. Do we literally give him no time whatsoever to implement his methods? Pretty sure the boos are for the players who are putting in an awful shift Agreed. And the boos were justified imo. That was pathetic. I hope Taylor would agree!

That was abysmal. We’ve gone massively backwards, we’re nowhere near the standard we were at earlier in the season.
That’s not meant as a defence of Joey, fwiw. But the players clearly are not reacting well to the change of management.
Hopefully Taylor can get into them and get their heads in gear. Fast.
I desperately hope that wasn’t the game plan he set out with as I have no idea what we were trying to do. The players seem to have forgotten how to play football!

Bit of an overreaction by people to a tinpot trophy game. Couldn't really give a sh** tbh. Onto the next one.

An excellent appointment that I think is a major coup.
Has a point to prove which is a good thing.
The process may have been a bit of a shambles, but we have fallen on our feet here imo.
His biggest challenge will be getting that group of players onside given Mangan leaving. But hopefully, that won't be as challenging as it may seem.

I’m sure MT will be confirmed today. I believe Mangan, Whelan and Bond have all left. Understand Mangan, as sad as that is. Disappointed if Whelan and Bond also left as hoped they could bring some continuity. Guess we will be paying lots of compo to Rotherham for their coaches?! Do we want continuity? Serious Q. The players were openly ignoring and arguing back with coaching staff on the pitch on Tues. IMHO as nice as I’m sure they all are, that coaching team does not have the respect of the players that is necessary. Any manager will want their own staff. The club were deluded to think otherwise. If we believe MT is the man for the job, and personally I would agree with that on paper, he has to be backed with his own staff. And on the compensation for staff thing, I’m not so sure. Perhaps Rotherham want rid of them all anyway? Wouldn’t surprise me, if they’re gonna get Jones or whoever in they’re gonna want their own team.

For me Robinson or Monk stand out. Looking at Robinsons league one record it’s hard to look past him, I hadn’t realised his experience until I did.
I like Mangs but think giving him the job would be an emotional choice not a sensible one.. I would still back him ofc.

Weird atmosphere incoming Saturday? Not entirely sure what to expect with such a mixed reaction at the news. All relative I suppose, hit the net without reply and it’s limbs/everyone going home happy Was always the case before, during and after him!

Well so what, we have spent some money at long last, so we are now a club that can just sack managers because we aren't at the top of the table. What a silly place this has become. We've played 13 games, we have 1 or 2 games in hand on some teams above us, 7 points off playoffs. We have indeed played 13 games and only won 4 , in as I keep saying a crap league one , on top of our awful results since January , sackable? Yes! Sackable, yeah. Whether that means that’s the correct call… much less clear.

Really interested to know who we might actually have lined up as a replacement that has been successful elsewhere in recent years. Wilder - Not happening. Monk - Has he been successful anywhere? Warnock -not happening, too old Struggling to think of a successful manager that is free to come manage us and take us up to those play off spots we should be in already. I think Nathan Jones would be my choice, whether he'd even answer the phone is another question. A few mentions of Rowett, again probably an optimistic one!

I'm very surprised and very disappointed. I believe he would have turned the tide. I hope the club don't live to regret this, the wrong appointment could lead to disaster this season.
I hope this proves to be a real statement of intent and not a total bottle job.
