Hope Nick's speech was recorded. You missed a treat. It was great 2/3 of it was heard in all stands, last third was heard in one. Was a great speech, but the cuts in the audio were embarrassing.

It is pretty incredible that 20 years on from moving to the Mem we still can't get the PA in the blackthorn end to work. Ridiculous how they promised to put in a brand new system during the summer for "noticeable differences." I can see the difference - it doesn't bloody work! The scoreboard system always cuts off after an animation for a good two minutes as well!

Terrible, and embarrassing especially on the occasion that was George Dunford's life achievement celebrations. You couldn't hear what they were saying when it was working, and when it stopped, it was just embarrassing especially as Nick was making a beautiful speech about the man that saved our club. Shocking system. Sort it out. Have to agree, I was sat in the SW stand and it kept cutting in and out then finally it gave up for good. Couldn't even hear the 50:50 numbers at half time! Might have won but I wouldn't know it. Yeah, it cut out for good for everyone (bar the rugby stand) - Here's the results mate:

A team starts from the back & after months of just watching I can safely say with hope many will agree with me that we have completely lost our shape at the back, and are lacking consistency.
This seasons performances makes me wonder: Did Darrell get it all wrong at the back end of last season?
Going in to the final push of the season, with a chance for the playoffs, Darrell decides to announce his retained list which sees many popular leaders leave the team who had contributed to the form of our life & we simply didnt replace them with their attributes, let alone the numbers we let go! The fact that several of our better performers were only on loan didnt help this, and is affecting us badly this year, especially since Sweeney, Telford & Bola are on loan and will leave once more.
It pained me that we didnt sign Lumley permanently & is paining me to this day despite signing two, I quote "able" goalkeepers simply because teams are built from the back, and Lumley was so commanding and put a firm, warm, reassuring hand on the defenders in front of him whereas this year we are having a defensive crisis because of internationals, suspensions and simply too much rotation. We need a settled back four, and goalkeeper and build from there.
Would be nice to have other opinions.

I cant be bothered to pick out the points of this post, but to his statement that "I seem to have lost any motivation to get up for the games at the moment which is very unlike me."
Which is (probably) true for hundreds of others since the attendances are down far lower than that they were last year, and the positivity around the Mem is terrible to what it was last year. Shame really.

I would agree with you, OP. But nobody can slate Darrell because of what he has done in the past otherwise those will be slated themselves.
Anyway, about Darrell's position on a real note:
I dont want fans to have a go at those who have differing opinions on DC than them if you are simply going by what he did in the 14/15 & 15/16 season. That is in the past. However, I dont think Darrell leaving will make a significant impact in the long term. With Darrell you know what you are getting - a team which will have highs and lows, and will end up in the top 10 most seasons without really pushing for that top 6 finish. With a new manager, we would either spiral down this league and back into League Two, or we could possibly be pushing for a playoff position, I couldn't see us staying where we are now - a mid table team.
We need infrastructure off the pitch (well basically, just to the side; the stadium), and the training ground, otherwise we simply wont, & cant go anywhere since the Championship has regulations which we simply aren't meeting at the moment!
So - to all those kids on this forum who act like they're in their 50's: Get a grip. You dont know enough of football to know how it really works financially. Dont let the two promotions be a baseline on what we have to achieve every year. We're Bristol Rovers, not the biggest club in the world; this is reality. We're lucky to be out of the Non League at this point after the terrible start in 14/15 in the Conference!
Stop.

And yet we were the league's top goalscorers at the beginning of the day. Oh Rovers.
