Some on here can critisise a new signing when never having seen him play.
Imagine if Internet forums were around in the 1980s...
"we've signed Gary Penrice and Phil Purnell from Mangotsfield, underwhelmed by these signings"
"where the hell is St Blazey anyway?"
"he's an electrician who couldn't even get in Boston United's first team ffs"
Gasheads have sadly changed. Gone are the days when the team/manager received our full support.

Because decision makers can no longer hide behind disinformation. And the results of previous decisions are laid bare. Your analogy is false, those were good players from a large number. The true analysis is to nake a comparison between the numbers in the pipeline then and now. We dont even have a reserve team. |

ill say things have changed . . . and mostly, not for the better neither. I think that it's called evolution, and I remain optimistic that things will indeed evolve. |

Gone are the days when the team/manager received our full support.In 40+ years of following Rovers, there have always been plenty who have voiced an opinion against the team and manager. We might have heard them at the match, or in the pub, but now the internet provides much wider dissemination of the dissenting view. |

Spot on mate and optimised by the replies below your post. The continued bitterness towards Darrel Clarke and the Rovers,especially seeing as progress is being made in the right direction regarding many issues from previous seasons,is mind boggling. Clarke is paying the full price for the demise of the Rovers from the Holloway days right through to McGhee! At least this young and inexperienced manager is getting Rovers on an even keel and taking us in the right direction. |

GK. Tea lady recommended him from n leagues lower than us... RB. Converted winger from Cyprus, can he tackle? LB. He is a right back. Central defence. A youngster and a has been. Mid. When was the last time we had a good local player, the other from non league. .. Shall I go on. The Internet would have gone into meltdown then. But the sum of the parts........... That is what he was saying, oh and yes the crowd played their part. |

Problem is the BoD's tight fistedness always as to raise it's head, if the Mauge/Sinclair situation don't seem similar then you want to take your head out of the sand. TW didn't realise what relegation would cost now you sense it hasn't worked out what another season in the Conference will cost the club. Back to the OP I bet fans did say the say things in the past the only difference is it's now on a forum instead of in a pub/at work/to family/friends etc. |

We dont even have a reserve team.and went don't have a loyal support base either Well maybe 6,000 home and 800 away in the Conference might disagree, but the few on the forum know better? |

The difference is the forums.
You wouldn't know if someone was pissed off at a signing in the 80s unless they told you.
Agree though, slagging a player off before he's pulled on the shirt is a joke and shouldn't happen.
Let's not dignify the claims that some want the club to fail with any response.
