Wardys number one fan writes more s**t about DC. Nothing worth seeing here, remember that DC doesn't write the cheques, can't quite believe people find that so hard to understand.

I think it is a good article and I completely agree with him.

Wow. The point of this article is? To shorten the time even further before the fans get on DC's back. Achieves nothing positive whatsoever. |

I'm fully behind DC and his view on signing the right players at the right price.
There isn't a L2 or Conference footballer in the land worth £1k per week!!!
Kenneth, Gill, Riordan, Clarkson failed miserably - their names should be pinned on the managers door to remind him that the club will not sign the likes again.

usually find something to agree with in these, but nah not this time
1. we were in free fall when DC took over, and many surprised we got as many points as we did. Last 4 games under Ward got one point and that was in a game where we were lucky to get zero goals, and that Southend missed chance after chance.Also 2 goals, which is the reason we got relegated, we didnt sign a striker worth the name striker, and DC was appointed after the last oppertunity to sign one had passed
2. few if any who know mess club is in feel anything but relief we are actually signing blokes we can afford to pay - if it takes a while to build something sustainable at league level so be it, has to be better than annual fight with relegation, boom and bust and watching overpaid, under committed time wasters.
3. hardly any unrest re Smith, 90% of the responses I've seen are along the lines of worked balls off for 3 years, doesn't deserve to be a non league player and wished him nothing but good luck. Cant see that 'mood music' changing.
4. And certainly no rumblings of discontent.It wouldn't be heard over the thunderbolts of discontent which have been going on since May

But in what way does it help? The fact that he brought up Martin Allen is pretty sad, I've seen many Martin Allen sides over the years and the Gillingham side were the only one that really impressed me. I get the feeling that he wants DC to fail and then have Allen brought in as our 'saviour'. |

The unrest thing with Smith made me laugh, Smith was in the front seat of the minibus laughing and joking with Keith Brookman on the way to Cheltenham. He's one character I can't see being a dick towards the club and it's supporters. Christ he's engaged to one of them.

I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment but surely in a free society the guy is entitled to an opinion.
Simply because we don't agree with it doesn't necessarily make it s**t!
People on here were quick to criticise the old OF but this one is going the same way with people sniping at each other and classifying anything they don't agree with as crap.
Need to get a sense of perspective here.

Saying DC is brilliant, he is the saviour, brilliant signings, brilliant team, promotion here we come isn't going to help either.
It's a blog where he gives his opinion, I happen to agree, many people won't.
I'm not convinced by DC at all and I do not like the way this is going, that is my honest opinion and this is a forum for sharing ideas an opinions. I will be behind the team on matchday just like the fans have been all the way through, only to be let down time and time and time again. That positivity and support far and above what they deserved clearly helped didn't it?
Frankly, no I won't have much patience if we don't get off to a reasonable start because automatic promotion should be the only aim for a club like Rovers and I am at the end of my tether. Someone has already posted in all seriousness that 10th would represent a successful season.
Lowered expectations indeed.

10th probably would be successful based on what is or more accurately what doesn't seem to be happening at the club right now, but I agree the only aim should be automatic promotion and DC pretty much said that himself.
P.S
Agree with Chesh, please by all means disagree, but lets try and play nice

I get the feeling that he wants DC to fail and then have Allen brought in as our 'saviour'. Completely the opposite. I really do not want to see Martin Allen here and never have done. All I'm saying is that was the solution many people came up with at times last season, following his "nice" comments about the club and the fans. I've heard plenty of rumblings about DC over the last few weeks. I also know that he has been very dismissive when people have suggested to him that he might struggle to get in the right standard of player by following his current policy. All this tough talk is fine but he can't have it both ways. He can't refuse to pay the market price to players then moan when they go elsewhere. Simple. As for the jibes about Ward - he failed. I say it in the piece. Read it again... And come back to me after 10 games if we are struggling for points and tell me then that people aren't on Darrell's back... Yes, I can right ra ra pieces blinkeredly supporting the club. What's the point? I'll get criticised either way. |

Half of that blog builds up to losing at Barnet. What happens if we win?
P.S I have no problem with the article. It's an opinion that DC has to deal with. He can do this by producing results on the pitch. The same as any other manager, at any other club.

I think that one of the reasons the article got to me is that you are spot on in some respects. For example losing to Barnet would sadly lead to calls for Allen to replace DC. Regarding DC's recruitment drive I am slightly worried but then again these four players could be with us within the next week, I know this is unlikely but I'm trying to look at it in this way during this gloomy period. |

I know these are obviously bad times at BRFC, but it would be nice to see a 'blog post' which isn't merely a dig at someone for once. It's very safe, repetitive writing because it will get clicks. Would much rather see a different type of article than one which just criticises a different person each time. As long as DC has his squad together before the first game of the season (unlike John Ward last year who was obviously lacking in several areas) then I see no problem with his recruitment policy. Why did teams like Accrington, Morecambe and Dagenham prosper in League 2 whilst we failed year on year despite having a bigger budget and squad? Because effort beats quality (and wages) if quality doesn't put in the effort. I don't really care if we miss out on Joe Bloggs because he wants a higher pay packet - it shows the sort of person he is. By the way, not all Rovers fans want - or ever wanted - Martin Allen in charge. The man is a liability and personally I always thought the fans 'calling for him to take over' were very lazy, and didn't really think outside of the box. Just offering my opinion  |
