Blackman Little Davies. Kilgour. THD Rodman. Sercs. Agogo. Ginnelly Reily. JCH hmm, candidate for player of the season Tony Craig not in your team ? Ogogo surely not back yet ??

Quite simply not good enough for L1. Not sure he's good enough for L2 either, but happy to be proved wrong. Good luck to him, can't fault his effort tbf He never made an impact in any game I saw him in. Although he always tried his best. He was even worse when coming on as a sub. Smith was better.

Too many people watch too much football on sky & expect to see the same in L1. First thing I want ,when going to see Rovers play, is a win. Whether we play good football or not is secondary to me, and always has been. I wasn’t all for Coughlan at first, but admit he got the players playing to their strengths & got results. Whether or not the form would have dipped had he stayed, no one knows, it’s a bit like saying we would have gone down if DC stayed. What we see now is that the change in tactics has either highlighted our shortcomings or perhaps we don’t have the players capable or we have hit a poor run of form, either way we are not getting results, so I feel grumpy. Just as well we had a good first half of the season. It amazes me that people moan about the style of football when we are winning, but then when we go on a losing streak, we all look forward to a win at any cost, irrespective of the style. I don’t believe crowds were down due to the standard of football, I’m more inclined to look at whether or not attendances are down in general & look then at the surroundings at the Mem. One of the questions on the survey was what time do you arrive on match days, I put 2:30, then was asked what could they do to encourage me to arrive earlier. Really? Why would I want to spend more time inside the stadium? I might need to take a sh1t, and then what? It's not just this. If at home, you get pounded by most teams then you know - relegation is on the cards. You can get pounded a few times and sneak a win but over a season it means your team are going to struggle. Performances count big time - as good ones will reap more wins than losses. Only at crunch times near the end of the season - when nerves and pressure for points can be massive should you stomach crap performances that get you points. p.s. I don't support any Prem team !

So not only is it a gaschatfact that our form wouldn't have continued, it's now a gascastpodcastfact. No reason why it couldn’t have continued. I think some may be in denial of what could have been, and some may have disliked GC that much they’re convinced this could have been the case! I love what GC instilled into our squad - but we were no way 4th best in the league - that was after 19 games or so ....... without strengthening I think most Gasheads would have told you being in top 6 after 44 with that squad and injuries wasn't going to happen. Now BG is here, we still have lots of key injuries : Jaakkola, Hare and for me the main one Ogogo, and he has brought in 3 new outfield players and probably getting rid of a similar number - it's become almost like pre-season. But I understand why he's done it - more flair going forward. It's going to take time to bed in. So yeah MASSES of patience needed. Would be happy with a scoring draw on Saturday and then hopefully a win soon - maybe Tranmere or Blackpool coming up.

Excellent signing for us ...Nice surprise as well ! Think he could do very well for us .... nice to see the link with Chelsea is still open after the Colkett / Clarke Salter /DC disaster. If blackman performs like clarke-salter and colkett this will be a disaster as well. But on paper this one looks a good signing. but Clarke-Salter and Colkett weren't a disaster. They did ok, maybe even more than ok for a while. Why this slating of every ex-player deemed not a success ??

Thanks Steve. No point putting Nichols in your team for next week as he's on his way out, isn't he ? So either Reilly again or play a different formation without Reilly - 4- 5 -1 or 4 - 3 -3 etc !

Be raining a lot lately (since about October !!), could that be the reason for training pitches being dodgy ? or does that have no bearing on any club's facilities ? I think you're missing the point, if we had our own decent training facilities with proper drainage like the Mem then it wouldn't be an issue. No Topper, not missing the point. I have been as outraged as anyone about our own training ground standstill, but trying to put a bit of balance in the conversation. I'm sure there are other clubs who have had issues with training pitches with the very wet weather in the last few months - imagine using these pitches 4 or 5 days per week in the recent weather !

Rovers - 2 draws and 4 defeats in their last 6 games Moneybags Peterboro under Duncan Ferguson 2 draws and 4 defeats Moneybags Blackpool under Simon Grayson 2 draws and 4 defeats Should they be sacked too ? I’d sack Darren Ferguson for his surly attitude, I don’t think I’d have the balls to sack Big Dunc ! ha ha - yes Darren, not as memorable as his dad, is he ?

Once we've shifted on a few players to make room in budget, we're in need of another right back option until end of season, a creative central midfielder with an eye for a pass, a centre back with a bit more pace and a striker or two. Maybe even decent GK cover until Anssi is back. So about 5 or 6. Is that all ?

Glad Reilly is besides JCH. JCH plays much better when he has a striker next to him. I also worry about the midfield though, we need Ogogo back ASAP to offer some cover in front of the defence. Yes Gassy Ogogo has been amazing for us but we have to dig in and cope best we can. Likewise Hare has been a massive loss. Unlucky with injuries this season. Hopefully Reilly and new boys can play their part today. UTG !

Hmmmm ... on the bench !!! If he played 45 Tuesday should build him up to 60 mins or so today not drop his playing time down ffs depends how he played - if he was blowing out of his ass after 10 then no. Anyone coaching staff know better than us.

That side makes sense. Decent bench too with different options. I hope Rodman can get up the pitch more. We deservedly beat Rotherham earlier in season - keep that in their heads.
C'mon Gas !!!

Topper mate, what's with all the negativity? If you were moaning about on the pitch, I'd tend to agree with you. But if you'd had told me 3 signings in by EoD 16th January, I'd have been over the moon. Anyone can make signings, it's the quality of signing that counts. Exactly Wes !

No. What we need is some continuity right now. Maher is the man Is Maher a leader ? How much experience does he have ? Not sure he's even been an Assistant Manager. If the club know Garner is not going to be around for several weeks I'd look to get somebody in - even Warnock ! He said he doesn't mind if it's even in L2 ! He's not my type of manager but nor was Coughlan ( playing style) - but he has all that experience and will ensure players are organised and focused every game !
