How can you say "stupid mistake" until this season's over? I'd imagine they were poor last Saturday if they lost to Lincoln who've been struggling since the Cowley brothers left. Appointing a manager with no EFL experience always seemed an odd one. DC....? Ian Holloway ?

It's funny you should say that ......... as all Bristol's MPs are from The Labour Party.

Thanks for your messages of good luck and support. After the initial devastation of losing our membership I am actually looking forward to the non league. I hope we don't have to start right at the bottom but if we do then so be it, I just hope we can somehow retain Gigg Lane , otherwise it will feel like starting a brand new club. It's quite sad that Gigg Lane is actually looking superb at the moment, the groundsman is not being paid but is looking after the pitch, and the other 2 groundsmen are taking care of Carrington, the training ground that Man City own, again with no pay. We still have Paul Wilkinson as manager, we have an assistant manager and a goalkeeping coach but no players!! apparently they have to turn up every day in order to claim compensation from the LMA , videos have been posted of the Manager hoovering the offices and he also been painting and decorating. I personally hope that we get a new owner and the Manager is given a chance. I feel sorry for the squad of players that the Manager assembled and they trained for several weeks without pay in the hope of getting contracts, we actually looked quite decent in pre season and I am sure they would not have been promised big wages, it shows what you can assemble without paying silly money. Local businesses have been badly affected as well, some supporters have set up a rota for people to attend various pubs and social clubs that used to benefit from match day, they meet on a Saturday at 1pm and then watch old videos of our matches, I think we are unbeaten lol. Another group have organised a Bury FC legends team against a Bury FC eleven, it was supposed to be against a team of celebrities but they pulled out because they didn't want any negative publicity while Steve Dale is still in charge. It's being held at a local non league ground because we don't want Dale to get any money and so far they have sold just under 2000 tickets,it will be a bit of squeeze . It's good to see everyone pulling together. Good luck mate. This is pretty painful to read I'm sure, for any passionate, loyal supporter of a club.

Was it comfortable? We won by one goal and from the commentary it sounded like it was all Rotherham. That’s part of my issue with Coughlan, it seems like we play like the away team even when at home so our opponents will routinely have the better of the game. Whilst we are winning it’s not a problem, but it’s hard to sustain that situation for 46 games and come out at the end of it massively in credit in the wins column. It wasn’t all Rotherham and yes it was fairly comfortable as I don’t remember many Rotherham chances that threatened us. They were a decent team but just lacked in end product. We aren’t where we are down to luck, look at the stats for most of the games that we’ve played this season. With the exception of a couple of the away defeats, we’ve had more possession and created more chances. Coughlan’s style may not be pleasing on the eye but it’s giving us the edge over our opponents and long may that continue. Gas365 you really need to get off your sofa and go to a few Gas home games. The highlighted comment of yours was true for the previous manager (in his last 6 months or so) who was in charge before GC. What's been pleasing is that we definitely look to get on the front foot in home games this season. However, we are not entitled to roll teams over and in my opinion, Rotherham finished the first half strongly. 2nd half was pretty much all us and a 2 -0 result would've been fair. Are you coming on Saturday ?

Pompey's form will surely pick up - their forward line is up there with Peterboro's - Marqiuis, Pitman, Harrison and that Irish lad who did so well in his breakthrough season last season. They have Pompey away tomorrow - I’m hoping for a draw there as they have 3 games in hand on us and Doncaster one. Ellis fires the winner. It's going to be a tasty match coming up against ellis and Brown in tow. Can't wait.

With the possible exception of Ipswich, there isn't a team in this league that we should be scared of. Just look at last weeks opponents Rotherham, we comfortably beat them in the end and they've just gone and put 4 past Coventry. When you consider that we've got JCH banging them in up top and a solid defence, this is the best chance since we've been back in L1 of reaching the playoffs. Long way to go of course but things are going well so far. Don't think you should be scared of anyone after 11 games. Ipswich also are winning games by narrow margins. However, that's going some - only conceding 5 in those games.

Away to Doncaster I would take a point all day long. Home against MK Dons, Bolton & Pompey I can honestly see a minimum of 7 points there. Pompey's form will surely pick up - their forward line is up there with Peterboro's - Marqiuis, Pitman, Harrison and that Irish lad who did so well in his breakthrough season last season.

I just wish Hare was fit. add Holmes-Dennis to this list - the best Left back in the division. Anyway, that's football - injuries/suspensions you just hope you don't have your key players out for long or at all.

“Season Ticket holders can take advantage of a special ticket offer for the visit of MK Dons and bring two friends to the Mem for £10 each!” After all the doom and gloom the past few months, the manager and these lads have earned our support and I hope we reward their efforts with our attendance. So contacting the club and asking does work sometimes - hopefully we'll get an 8,000 + crowd for MK game - the least the players deserve ! UTG !

Interesting that this thread has become more about when JCH is going to be sold instead of celebrating a Rovers striker who's banging them in ! Almost as if we’re resigned to never progressing in our current state. That's lower league football, in it ? The dream has gone ....................

this thread was also about cheap offers to swell the crowd like Notts County did on Saturday. I have sent it to Steve Hamer and he thought it was a good idea. Would be so much better to have a full Mem backing the team in some of the games coming up, e.g. Mk Dons in 2 weeks.

Agree with you about Ed being outshone by Sercs and Abu, and yet as you say he played well. He had a difficult 1st half - think he was targeted by Roth - roughing him up and getting very close to him. Overall, our midfield was much better than theirs.

GC has carried on playing the same sort of football we were known for last year, but it is looking for fluid through the midfield now Sercombe is back to match fitness. Att yesterday was 7300, that’s an improvement on recent weeks and if he keeps pulling results together, that will only increase further. If I could sum up a GC game at the moment it’s about 75 mins of graft, structured and possession football, 10 mins of attacking chances and 5 mins of absolute quality football. In that 15 mins we often get a goal or 2 and have become very difficult to break down and to score against. I’m actually quite enjoying the football at the moment. There is something really refreshing about watching the team fighting for each other again. Without Rotherham supporters it would've been 6,800 so it's a shame we can't even get to 8,000 after a 5 game unbeaten run with some quality goals in there too this season.

Seeing Ogogo, Upson, Leahy etc...reactions at full time yesterday is just brilliant. Long may it continue. yep, I thought the biggest roar was from Tom Davies !!
