We will struggle against Peterborough on Tuesday (if it goes ahead) with their firepower, but the 5-1 win for them today was helped by Shrewsbury having a player sent off on half time and P'boro scoring three lateish goals

A good away point. Lots to improve on though if we are to challenge the better teams in this league.

Now scored in their last 4 consecutive games. Let's hope he doesn't make it 5 on Tuesday. God will he be up for it for sure Maybe he'll be too wound up and get sent off.....

Now that's a good shout. Many, myself included, had hoped he might have stayed on in that capacity.

We look so poor defensively. Anyone know of a good defensive coach that might be available?

Reproduce the first half performance from Tuesday and hopefully, if BG is better prepared to use the subs/change of tactics to keep it fresh, there is no reason why we can't take three points today. We will have to play well though throughout - they held Sunderland 2-2 on Tuesday and so are no pushover.

Hopefully Rochdale won't be too Tricky, and we will have a Treat

I was at Ipswich that day where he was beating his chest in front of us at the final whistle, and announced his departure just an hour or so later. I was annoyed and disappointed with him leaving us as he did, and the subsequent nosedive down the league under BG afterwards only served to amplify that feeling of disappointment/anger. If I am truthful though, the style of football under GC was difficult to watch especially so on TV where you don't get that 'back's to the wall' atmosphere that you do at a live game. Despite something really clicking with GC and the squad we had under him in terms of grinding out results (if not performances) there was no way realistically we would progress footballing wise under GC. Like many I took some sadistic pleasure in seeing Mansfield's poor results under him and saw it as some sort of pay back for him leaving us as he did.
He was, and still is I imagine, a really good defensive coach and I hope for his and his families sake he does get fixed up somewhere before his severance runs out.

Disappointing after the 1st half performance. BG needs to look at how to positively influence games before it's too late, and/or to react to tactical changes and subs made by the opposition.
Onto Rochdale - they won't be a pushover, currently 2-2 v Sunderland

Garner out mob sharpening their pitchforks again Not at all, just pointing out the fact that he struggles to change things tactically during phases of the game when we are struggling, or introduce new faces at the right time to positively influence and avoid losing control. I guess he's learning and we all can see that thnigs are beginning to click, I just hope he is able to see that this is a weakness and address it

Comes from losing control of the game and not making the changes to keep the ball better early enough. It just gave them the momentum and the confidence

No one marking the scorer. Often a triple sub is a sign of desperation - here it has worked as it seems we just didn't know who was picking u the new players Come on Ben get the players on to get control again

They bring on three subs and make an instant impact with one of them scoring. I know we have seen the Garner methods starting to work in the last few games, but he does seem to struggle to make tactical changes during the game when we are up against it

Damn Come on Gas, we can still win this. Come on Ben, show you can change it and get us back in front

That's it then - blow the full time whistle and we'll take the win

Mansfield losing again. Coughlan can't be far off the sack if they lose tonight Been keeping half an eye on their forum. They reckon they could have been 4 or more down with the shambolic performance. Rollin seems to be getting the most stick. Without the calming influence of Craig nearby it seems that he (and Alfie for us?) are both struggling. Their heroic performances in that Plymouth Cup game seem a long time ago for both. stagsnet.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=37619&start=225

I had a “To the occupier” letter arrive this morning. Opened it up and it’s from Bristol City and Mansion - obviously went straight in the bin! I received a letter too. I actually wouldn't care If it was just about the city side of things, if anything what a good way to keep/get in touch with supporters and Bristol in general if it was just about city and latest updates. But as someone who has struggled with gambling problems in the past and in no way shape or form gave consent for MansionBet or any other betting company to send me promotions, I’m disappointed that this letter which is nothing more than a MansionBet promotion, has somehow gotten through the rules and regulations around betting companies sending you marketing information without the individual’s consent. Problem gambling is a major issue. I would report this to the relevant commission and your MP. This is nothing to do with it being about City - it's about the gambling aspect.

Hope they don't try to send him back! Hopefully for his sake, and ours, it is just a lack of match fitness. Perhaps the plan was always just to give him 30 or 40 minutes, it's just he started that a bit earlier than anticipated.
