We got a win, when a draw would have been fair. I went from 54 to retirement age this afternoon. Rovers are not good for the health this season.
Not sure what blinkers some above had on, but (as always) thought Tom Nichols was superb. It's all opinions though.
Bamber, agreed re JCH. Darrell would still be here and I wish he was. That's no sleight on Graham Coughlan who seems a decent bloke.

At his age and with his experience, in a division as tough as this he was always going to hit a rough period.

We may disagree on tbe merits of "free scoring goal machine" Tom Nichols, but of course we all want what's best for the Gas. Is GC any better than DC? Marginal. DC + J C-H. We'll never know. UTG.

We were bobbins to be honest but at this point of the season I don’t care as long as we score more than them.

I disagree it's marginal. Coincidentally, both GC and DC have been in charge this season with exactly the same amount of league games. DC p21 pts17. GC p21 pts32. With Wimbledon and Rochdale yet contested, you can argue GC has had the rougher ride, but it's obvious we've carved out results under GC that we certainly weren't getting with DC. JCH big impact, but I alluded to that above. To me, it was the right time to move on from DC, and I think now with time it was best for both parties as we've flourished, and DC appears to be ready for a new challenge.

Surely it's obvious what we need, just sign any players with 'Clarke' in their name.

[quote author=" gasolder [/quote][br The Bradford team members are playing for their livelihoods next year and a lot of energy will be put into recovery of some personal pride. It could be a rough tough physical battle. We need our better players to be available for the next few games. So cool heads are required from the boys in blue [/quote] We win. But too many yellow cards!!!

Come on we are Rovers' supporters, we don't do it the easy way. And yes I walked away thinking we stole it. Stats show we were slightly ahead on shots etc after all TN had a shot on target. We did have some periods of good play, but we had some extraordinarily bad spells particularly their goals. They had good wide players but we left them so much s;ace, again. They played like they were battling hard to stay up, we played as if we were safe. It must have been bad for their fans, their club has gone down so much recently; it's a good ground to visit and they have excellent community initiatives including encouraging BAME support. Well done the travelling fans and those fans singing' "That's why your going down" are a disgrace and is nearly always responded by a goal - as it was.

My point is the quality is the same. We're harder to beat admittedly (Ogogo). The lack of width, pace and creativity in midfield is the same. Lose J CH in the summer and we're pretty much back to where we were in December. Major work is required in the summer. Sadly it was time for DC to go. But what we have now doesn't really look any better (J CH aside). UTG.

Can’t argue with our resilience and determination but poor quality midfield means little creativity and JCH having to come deep to get the ball and run at them. TL, TC and Ed Upson were the pick of the rest with Craig defending very well and marshalling the defenders as well as he did. Upson tried to pass the ball around and got caught now and again but we are a better midfield with him there. And Bonham had a good game, it’s good to see akeeper try and dominate his area, coming for crosses confidently. Well done the team and GC, keep the nerve for two more matches and we can enjoy the rest of the season. UTG!

it's funny - the highlights make it look like it was a good game! I thought the very same. I now sit in the south west tent and we were talking with many others, they thought we were poor & it’s the lack of any width that makes us look so bad but, as many have said, we won & I was happy leaving the mem, for the first time in awhile.
