A thoroughly decent man and a thoroughly decent manager. The very best of luck to DC, whoever he manages in the future.

Agree with that Epping. Although he was great for us come the end I thought he was losing the plot and overthinking things too much. I’m of a mind that you should always move forward not back so would not want him back. Wish him every success wherever he goes apart from when against us

David Flitcroft seems to be getting both barrels from Vale supporters. The feeling was DC wasn't really backed in Janaury with them only signing two loanees. It's always quite fun reading the forums when something like this happens though. It almost always comes back to a would you have him back debate. Gasheads and football fans generally rarely can be bothered to look outside their little bubble.

Rovers seem to have a history of appointing former managers.
Gerry the Badger and Wardy spring to mind. Any others I've missed?

I think we have a decent chance of challenging for promotion over the next few seasons with Joe.
I think that would be less likely with Darrell.
We have a very good and dare I say professional set up at Rovers ,in these Joe B***** days.

I guess you could use that argument to support Tisdale, the truth seems to be that the money was there but Tisdale failed to spend it, perhaps that was really the case at PV. Although I can never understand why football clubs are like revolving doors every transfer window. |

Bristol Rovers legend Darrell Clarke leads tributes in support of former Gas captain Tom Lockyer..by Daniel Hargraves.i2-prod.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/article2734822.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_JMP_Coventry_City_v_Bristol_Rovers_RS_126JPG.jpgFormer Bristol Rovers manager and Gas legend Darrell Clarke has led tributes to former Rovers captain Tom Lockyer after the Luton Town centre-back suffered a cardiac arrest during the Hatters' Premier League match at Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. Lockyer, who made just shy of 300 appearances for the Gas between 2012 and 2019, has received widespread support after collapsing at the Vitality Stadium which led to players being taken off of the pitch while the Welshman received treatment before the game was eventually abandoned. Luton's latest statement at the time of writing on Lockyer's condition was released on Sunday afternoon which confirmed that the Hatters captain is "still undergoing tests and scans, and is awaiting the results before the next steps for his recovery are determined." The former Rovers favourite was managed by another modern club legend in Clarke between 2014 and 2018 which saw the Gas secure back-to-back promotions from the Conference to League One before establishment in the third tier. Taking to LinkedIn, Lockyer's former manager wrote: "Sending all my prayers and love to Tom Lockyer my captain at Bristol Rovers. "Managed a lot of players in my time as Manager but Tom was no doubt the best professional I have managed. A true leader and gentleman. "Stay Strong Tom." Bristol Rovers also sent their best wishes to Lockyer on their social media channels, saying: "Praying for you, Tom" while Gas CEO Tom Gorringe also took to X to write: "The euphoria of yesterdays win was dampened when we heard the news post-match. Thinking of Locks and his family and wishing you a speedy recovery my mate." The entire football world have sent tributes to Lockyer and his family, whose privacy was asked to be respected at this time by Luton. An abundance of high profile figures in the game have taken to social media to send their best wishes as have an array of clubs as everyone keeps their fingers crossed for him. Match of the Day host Garry Lineker said at the start of Saturday's programme: “It goes without saying that everyone here at Match of the Day sends their thoughts and best wishes to his family and anyone connected to Luton Town." Former England captain John Terry took to social media platform X, writing: "Praying for Tom Lockyer" while Luton's opponents Bournemouth said: “We’re relieved to hear Tom is responsive. Our thoughts will continue to be with Tom and his family at this time. We’d like to thank all the medical staff for their quick action as well as everyone inside the stadium for their support and unity during a difficult moment.”
