So if they all buy into his vision, why aren't they out there performing and showing how good this vision is?

As you say, it depends on the player (and their agent) I imagine. I couldn't see a Bennett going without asking for his contract to be fully paid up based on his actions so far. I don't know what sort of character Ogogo is - he might just want to play and so would go for zero or a minimal settlement.

I suppose he would look to be released from his current contract to try to get one elsewhere. My guess would be that Ogogo may well ask for that, Bennett has proved he's happy to just take the money until the contract expires - whether anyone would look at him ever again with that attitude is the risk he takes. Regarding Ogogo, I hope BG sees sense and brings him back into the squad, or the new manager does after Saturday...

That's great news for us (sorry for Anssi of course)

Two transfer windows. 23 games. 2 wins!!!!!! Despite what looked like some reasonable Summer recruitment on paper, no sign that he has recruited the right players to play his way, or can set them up and give them tactics to suit their abilities. No evidence of any understanding of the nature of League one - the opposition, the refs(!), and the way teams have to mix it up a bit to get results. (Despite what he said about having watched every game last season before he joined). No evidence of a tactical brain to make changes from the sidelines when everyone can see we are being overrun/outplayed etc.
He has to go now before we are so far adrift that no manager or player would want to come here - and of course before the transfer window closes in 2 and a half weeks time. Also to be considered is the real possibility of a points per game approach to decide league positions if the season is curtailed around/just after Christmas again.

About 2 and a half minutes in I made a decision - to stop listening to this excuse of a Manager

Sadly I just can't bring myself to watch this rubbish. It's painful and making me so angry and fed up it's not worth it for my health and my relationship!

What did you do to get it working Bideford? I had same symptoms but didn't get it at all. Eventually gave up. Ok last week, but same problem week before. I think it may be to do with varying network speed?? Tried clearing the cache, switching to Firefox, chrome all to no avail. Back to Edge and started working although on my big TV the picture quality was nowhere near as good as before. Even the laptop picture was not the usual standard. Had to be an issue at ifollow I would suggest. Got it working after thirty minutes of the game today but no agent from ifollow got in touch. Hoping for better next Saturday. I'm amazed you even want to try again Dave!

I'd give him to the end of October. Seven games with only 2 against teams that have started well. Five against mostly lower teams. Not unreasonable to expect 3 Wins, 2 Draws, 2 Losses. That would give us W3, D3, L4 from our first 10 games and for me he then stays. Anything less and he needs to go. The transfer window closes on 16th October I think. I suggest he has to go now to give someone else a chance to bring a couple of experienced players in to shore things up

It’s obvious the players brought in cannot play to this system he should go to 4-4- 2 with Little,Gilgour,Harries,Tutonda. Daly ,Agogo.Westbrook,mccormick and Hanson with Ayunga up front The defence is wide open down the flanks.Kymer is a bit of a carthorse,too slow who are Gilgour, Kymer and Hanson?

Garner is right about referees the standard is pathetic in league one True - but that is not the complete reason for us being a shambles. The Manager needs to understand League 1 teams, tactics and Refs quickly or go as he clearly doesn't and we will not beat anyone playing U23 football

I’m not listening so you’ll have to let me know .. Just a whiney little bitch about refs. Pathetic. Look at yourself Garner. This is League 1 Ben, not U23 Premiershit where there is absolutely no contact attempted or made. You cannot expect that in League 1, or the Refs to referee to that style of non-football.

This "team" are playing an U23 meaningless style of football. No real challenges for fear of injury type stuff. BG has recruited a poor football team - individuals with some skilful attributes perhaps, but not ones that blend or play as a team in the nitty gritty style we need to survive in League 1. Time to go

We are now as it stands, rock bottom. BG has to go now so someone else has some transfer window to sort this mess out

Lady presenting on BBC just said,'Get in touch with us Bristol Rovers fans to let us know what's happening to your club.You have only won twice since Christmas Day'!!!!!!!!! That's priceless, and just shows how bad BBC coverage has deteriorated over the years. Well to be fair she's correct. 2 wins in over 3 full months of Football

I think success for us would, realistically, be a solid upper third league 1 team, with the odd foray into the championship lasting three or four seasons at a time. Not dissimilar to what we were before our fall into the bottom division in 2001. Performances should be entertaining and players should fight to the end - remember all those points gained during the 90th minute in our successful years? Off the pitch proper training facilities and of course a better stadium to play in.

Newport 2-0 up after 20 mins Sheehan with 70% passing accuracy in the final third . Would be interesting to see what our passing accuracy has been in the final third these last 9 months. Have we made any passes in the final third?

I keep thinking back to the Tutonda signing when his attribute that BG made the most of was Humility and how that would fit in with the rest of the squad. Meek and mild (my words) humility does not cut it in League 1. Please BG at least bring Ogogo back into the squad until you, or if you can't, recruit similar/better.

I think he does make a massive difference. JVS is a competent keeper who makes few mistakes, but he does not pull off the miracle saves and stops that make such a huge difference. Blackman was a decent keeper - where he has gone this year shows he has a lot of potential, but I honestly feel we would have got more out BG's games last year with Jakkola in goal. Jakkolla definitely played a big part in our league position at the point GC left. Anssi is certainly some keeper. He is third choice for Finland - the other two must be superhuman!
