I just wanted to point out that after 8 games, the team has achieved the best start since we returned to the EFL.
After 8 games: 2019 11 points 12th place 2018 5 points 22nd place 2017 9 points 15th place 2016 10 points 15th place 2015 (L2) 10 points 15th place
With this squad, I also think we have the capability of improving as we did in most of those seasons.
Thanks for doing that research. Yes it’s been a good start and I guess the more that midfield play together and gel the better. Being older I remember going back to the 60s and 70s when it was the opposite. We used to come flying out of the starting blocks and have a really good Autumn with good cup runs. Late 60s and early 70s it was unusual for us not to make the 3rd round of the cup. Then we would get progressively slower as the season went on. Recently, as you’ve shown, it’s been the opposite so this year it’s good to have a “best” start for ages. UTG! best start in ages - yeah, but overall it's still only an average start - 3 wins and 3 losses. fairly happy with it though.

The Graham Coughlan effect. Early days still but I think this squad is an improvement on the last couple of years. It's a good squad, but a small one. not much left in the (creative) cupboard when Upson and Sercombe didn't play recently.

Bolton signed all those players - and got their first goal of the season - typical !!!

Brilliant Result. I’m not a big fan of OC but I thought he was superb today. Upson and ogogo were good too. I loved Littles enthusiasm to take on players. Only downside is a thought Leahy was poor going forward. Delighted with that! yeah that's the impression I have of him - well, until THD is fit, we have to keep backing him.

Also pleased to see Sercs back on the bench - we've missed him in home games especially when we've needed some composure in midfield.

Unlucky Hare, but he's stepped up 2 levels this season and looked off it last week. Little probably chomping at the bit to show his ability. Great to see Ed back in midfield. Slightly more hopeful of a draw now. UTG !

Inevitably we will lose JCH at some point, I think it’s there for all to see that in this form he is definitely championship standard. I just hope that this time we have him on a contract that when he does move on, most likely this summer, we get his true value unlike losing Bodin at what was probably less than a quarter of what you would expect for a player of that quality. We really found a gem in JCH and I for one will enjoy watching him while he is a BRFC player just like I did with other great strikers of my time watching the gas JCH reminds me of a much better, or at least a more complete version of Jason Roberts when they were both here. I loved Jason but his finishing ability was scrappy and most of his goals bubbled in and were not that of a natural finsher.While JCH scores all type of goals. Both had great attitudes and work hard, and from what Ive seen of JCH he is not as fast as Roberts as Jason was deadly away from home with his goals under Olly,but he was playing with Jamie cureton and the Duke also. I looked at JCH saturday and thought to myself that he is a championship player right now playing for us today.And he has everything to be a premiership player for a mid table side in a few years once he adds abit more to his game. GC found a gem in him. Don't know if this has been asked anywhere else, but who was the last player to score an overhead kick for the Gas before JCH's on Saturday ? If you can put up a vid too !

Jakubiak has been banging them in tbf. I saw a couple of Gills fans moaning a while ago that Evans has been playing him as a winger so they still don't see him as a 'natural goal scorer'/'natural striker' Did we miss a trick with Jakubiak on the wing perhaps? Those Gills fans don't think so

All done. Don’t blame me if it’s sh**, I’m not much of journalist more of a knobhead really. 😜
Are they not the same then?
a certain D.Trump would agree with that. Happy days

Rovers home to Gillingham next Tuesday. Who's going ? A chance to see Steve Evans (Gills boss) blowing several gaskets along with his troop of "coaches" about every decision made by the ref. A side show almost worth the admission money - for some

" even home games are becoming more of a chore each week."
8 goals in last 3 home games - Oxford and Accie games - as entertaining L1 games as I can remember ! Too much negativity Steve - perhaps you shouldn't go and watch every game as it's clear we have no chance of promotion ! Of course we should've won today but full credit to Accie for the way they played and their outstanding no.7.

With Tom Nichols there should be a man full of confidence but yet again he looked like a player completely out of his depth and shot on confidence. If he isn’t going to look good after scoring acouplewhen will he look good? that's just your opinion
