I think we can all agree; we cannot score goals, we do not have an instinctive goal scorer. I just wish the Matt Taylor love-in would stop,how many chances does he need to score a goal ? answer, too many. And in defence, Parkes has no confidence, currently no form, was suppose to have been working with marcus in training to improve his goal scoring ratio from corners, really !. Happy to give Nicholls a bit more time, but currently, I am not convinced. And Darrells grovelling on BBC Bristol radio, I was cringing, don't talk to me about the supporters, we will be with the club forever, need to look at yourself and work out why BRFC look like rabbits in head-lights at home. UTG Won't be joining in with your 'I think we can all agree' comment. We can score goals which is why prior to yesterday we won 4 on the bounce. You want the MT love in to stop, so we should be howling at his every miss then, if I was going to do that I would be in BS3 wearing red. How difficult is it to grasp that if MT was banging on goals on a more regular basis he would be playing in league 1 or championship? As for your comments about DC the best man manager we have had in many a year who is holding together the club in a very fragile state well words fail. Next you will be saying piggy Higgs has made decent funds available for the manager but he just isn't spending.

I am sick to my bloody back teeth of all this bollicks about, if Taylor was banging goals in regularly he would be playing in league 1. Its time to see him for what he is. A very poor excuse for a striker.

A very poor excuse for a striker. I think that's a bit unfair. It's consistency that he lacks. He has scored some really great goals and at acute angles but he just seems to lack the mental fortitude to do this regularly & I genuinely believe a session with Glenn Catley woukd help. Glenn is gas through & through and my bet is he would be happy to help. I believe sports psychologists can play an important role. I believe Matty could do better if he had the confidence to take his chances. I also think he does a good job other than in his striker role.

Interesting to see the doom merchants out in force again, slagging off the manager, players etc...
Yesterday was very very poor, definitely. But 4 straight wins and still one defeat in 26 on the road prior to kick off. Just where have you all been?!
Nobody likes a shocking home performance/result but some of the over reactions being thrown around as per usual, are once again embarrassing.
See you again after our next unbeaten run, I'll bring the noose.

Never wanted the Clueless One as manager and never rated the useless striker.

Same posters, same hating, no idea of how to support, one reason for leaving the Blackthorn end a couple of seasons ago, full of whingers who don't understand what support means.

I like Matty Taylor,he scores some great goals and although he should score more he makes up for that with his work for the team imo. Best goal for me was at FGR in the play offs,superb finish. Rovers supporters have never been unanimous in their support for forwards,I heard Biggs,Stubbs,White,Withey and even Paul Randall get stick,its nothing new.

Never in thr 60 odd years I have been supporting the Gas have we had such a poor team and poor manager supported by so many. Very very strange.

Rovers supporters have never been unanimous in their support for forwards, I heard Biggs,Stubbs,White,Withey and even Paul Randall get stick,its nothing new.But aren't all players given stick at some time or another? It's part and parcel of the game isn't it, and not just restricted to Rovers players (or crowds) neither. Why not extend the list to players like Geoff Bradford or George Petherbridge, or even non forwards? Goalkeepers even. Surely they must be one of the positions most likely to be given some advice in the form of ''stick.'' After all we don't live in isolation, and the list is endless of players who have received a little advice from the terraces, Matty Taylor included. Mind you I'm still drooling over the last minute header that he scored against Mansfield, that really was an excellent cross and finish, so he can do it on occasions. We just need more glimpses of it on a regular basis. But with the best will in the world, he'll be unlikely to rise to the heights of the players that you mention . . . even Steve White, and my goodness me did he ever receive ''advice'' by the bucket full. But he never complained, he just got on with it.

I am not quite old enough to remember Bradford or Petherbridge get abuse,Alfie Biggs is my first memory of a Rovers forward. Yes a great header at Mansfield and I agree a lovely cross. I think Steve White got a lot of stick because he took over when Paul Randall had been sold,it was unfair,he did react once with a v sign towards the North stand moaners when he scored ( its on Youtube somewhere) I cant say that I blame him. Sadly I don't think that we will see players of the calibre that I mentioned playing for Rovers again...sorry to be negative.

Utmost respect for this post in it's entirety. Such a shame, especially as (at least) Paul Paul Paul Randall is not just a striker, he's a GasHead...

I always felt a bit sorry for Steve White, and I really don't know why he attracted the reaction that he did from the assembled faithfull at Eastville. After all his strike rate was very good, as was his general play, and the other teams that he played for in his career must show that he had something about him. I think it was just a case of us loving to hate him, but it was clearly character forming for him. Without a shadow of a doubt, if he were playing for us now he would be the star of the show. As for Alf he rarely attracted any barracking, perhaps the occasional ''come on Alfie'' by way of encouragement. I think the reason for that was twofold, firstly he (generally speaking) didn't merit it, and secondly it would have been like water off a ducks back anyway. I very seldom saw him get too excited about anything, whether it was scoring a goal or being sent off.

Na, trymer, you got the bit about Steve White spot on. Shameful how he was treated. A great striker through no fault of his own, in shadow of a great. No excuse. I was a kid at the time and thought his movements and goals with energy was fantastic! Shame we never championed him like Swindle and Luton did...

The main reason White was not appreciated was due to the fact that Randall had been sold to Stoke City and White was his replacement coming up through the youth/ reserve team. Randall was a young star more pacey and brilliant on one on ones with keepers whereas White was a good finisher but in a different mould. Check his away goals record was superb for Rovers and he was sold to Luton Town for more money than Randall and longer term a much better scoring record and a long career in league football whereas Randall went part time with Yeovil and Bath City.

I agree with most of that,however you seem to have forgotten Paul Randall coming back to Rovers and his legendary contribution in the one nil down three one up game at ashton gate in the FA cup.. Also you possibly don't understand how Paul being sold to Stoke affected some of the Rovers supporters at the time,I was talking to a bloke at Mansfield about it and he told me that he cried when Rovers sold Paul !..I was gutted myself, poor Steve White coming into that situation.

Massive overreaction. For me it was a freak game, maybe will stop people getting overexcited by our recent run. 5 points of playoffs with a game inhand and I think we have a lot more upside than downside going for is. Chill, alls pretty goo

That bloke at Mansfield summed it up for me.. At least I gave my 50p pocket money in the bucket for his return...F O P R Friends Of Paul Randall....whomever organised that , I am forever grateful :-)

I don't think people acknowledge the effect that Mark McChrystal has on this side. Why was he missing yesterday? We are much harder to beat when he is playing, as has been seen since his return to fitness. His record this season, including the JPT, is played 4, won 3, drawn 1, lost 0. He came back into the side after a very poor run of four defeats and one draw. Maybe DC thinks he isn't quite ready to play three games in seven days but I think his influence might have helped to steady the ship yesterday. Seeing the goals on TV I also worry about Nicholls. Is he commanding enough and does he communicate well with the other players? I really liked the big Chesterfield keeper and thought it was a shame when he went back. Also, are we back to the era of relying on loan keepers?

The same bloke at Mansfield said to me,"not many clubs fans would have been so loyal as Rovers fans with what we have had to put up with"...and I think that's true. For me,I considered myself a fanatic but when Paul Randall was sold it was as if everything negative that had been said to me about Rovers came true,they will always sell anyone any good,they will never get anywhere etc etc,gradually I attended less and eventually stopped going altogether. After a long period of not going to games I started to go again when I knew that they would be relegated from the league,and last season I came to admire the team and manager (maybe not all the directors)..I know that they aren't the greatest players that we have seen play for Rovers but they do give 100% and Morecambe and Mansfield were great games,I consider myself lucky to have been at both.
