I'm not even going to post my thoughts on the match because this forum has become an embarrassment. First defeat in 10 matches and 6 weeks, and some familiar names coming out of the woodwork to relieve themselves with there right hands after a superb run where they had to suck it up shut it up and realise that DC is creating something special. When was the last time we were in the play offs then lost 1 game and the reaction was like this, if i was the manager and the players i would pull down the shutters, turn the lights off and not bother to come back next week. For those that went you would see that for large parts of the game we did okay and should have won the game comfortably against a team with a far superior budget than ours (fan base has nothing to do with anything). Time to get a new striker in, but the bigger picture suggest we are having an excellent season, and if anyone is going to derail it, it will be the supporters that do it.

It's days like these thst I am mightily relieved that I decided not to go this season. I don't care how much stick I get from the "real" fans. I have not spent £22 to get in and £25-30 on beer, food etc and no transport costs. I am not depressed for the rest of the weekend either. I DO feel sorry for those who have gone, to witness another toothless display and in front of a crowd that any FL teams would be envious of. I take my hat off to those who continue to go though. I'll be back ince I see movement in the boardroom and when I can get excited about the possibility of tangible change and when I get the feeling that we will genuinely have people in charge who don't take the fanbase for granted. So why feel the need to post?  ? |

IMO today we were ******* awful. Taylor, Cunnington and Martin were dog ****, why Clarkle does not start Harrison is beyond me. This current team is not good enough, apart from Milldenhall, the rest you could get rid of. Ollie Clark and mansell are pathetic. There is no chance this current manager and squad will get promoted.

B*******, the only people that derail anything to do with BRFC is the board, the manager and the players; this club is ******* lucky to have such brilliant supporters. |

First defeat in what 9 or 10 matches now? And the Clarke our brigade pipe up, what a joke of a post. The board have put us where we are no one else, they are the joke and so are you for critisisng the only person in the building able to get team spirit back after being run by a clown for 6 months. The fan base at Rovers is turning into a laughing stock online, we have the Geoof Dunford love in thread who has ploughed and lost all of his fortune into the club, NOT. Plenty of people who cannot wait for Clarke to fail, absolutely pathetic, short sighted and down right thick. That's the attitude that makes Rovers the club that the supporters deserve. I'll repeat it for you as you seem to have missed what's happening, 1 win in 5 against pub teams. Glad you are happy about that. What has it come to when we are expected to celebrate beating part time park outfits like Woking? There were 2 clowns in charge last year, one didn't want to be here, keeping him on was madness, and Clarke was the other one, that alll worked out well, didn't it. Totally agree , we may have been on a good run but we have not been playing that well during quite a few of them have we ! F.G.R are probably one of the better teams we have played in the last ten games and they are not that great and we looked second rate . D C got the tactics all wrong , lots of long ball over the last few games , and weak in midfield without sinclair in the middle . clarke in midfield adds very little . We must go up at the first attempt or god knows what will happen to this once proud football club |

Time to get a new striker in, but the bigger picture suggest we are having an excellent season, and if anyone is going to derail it, it will be the supporters that do it. the problem WG is that although the run was welcomed - we scraped past part time sides like Southport and Dartford and drew with Dover. We have not played particularly well in many of the 9 games and there's been a lot of debate on here about the quality of Taylor (who was loaned out by FGR for half of last season to a side that were relegated and then reprieved) and the urgent need for a goal scorer from somewhere...... i do agreee however that it is a lot to do with wage budget rather than size of the fan base - which makes it all the more galling for our fantastic supporters. However DC does worry me with comments about JC (not his type of player - well we know that means he's a striker who can score goals) and about his reluctance to give Brunt a proper go or to let Harruson start - who has been the only player I have seen in the past Couple of months to show any real desire / pace and even a little ability at times. |

Lets not go over the top. The fact is that we can't be expected to compete with clubs in this division as we only have gates 5 times bigger than most of them. I think we are actually doing remarkably well to scrape by down here on 5-7k gates. I mean, look at that travelling army of 362 away fans today. When was the last time we had an away following like that? Plus, we're in the middle of nowhere, so players don't want to come to us.  Damn, we do well in the circumstances. That's me convinced. |

Would that be the 1-1 home draw with Dover or the defeat to part time Braintree? As said earlier, Rovers is the club that supporters who stand around congratulating the manager on assembling a squad capable of drawing 1-1 with Eastleigh deserve. |

is it not strange that all the board bashers/dunford haters/clarke castigators come out after one defeat in 10..
I stand by my pervious statement that the club don't deserve "supporters" like that |

Only one loss in 9 etc marathon not a sprint and all that but ultimately Taylor isn't good enough in this vein of form to play for Bristol Rovers Football club. What was it he got for Chester 7 in 7 or something like that? I reckon they played Hyde twice and he had about 13 penalties to have a go at. Pathetic. He can ''get in good positions'' as much as he wants but if you ain't scoring goals you will never be more than an average striker (providing you hold the ball up or something like that etc) Needs to be dropped. Harrisson must be watching him and thinking to himself '' am i so worse than that shower of s***e that he is starting every game ahead of me?''. Ridiculous.

It's the word 'deserve' that pivots the enquiry. I Have no problem with supporters not going to games, that their choice, the term support to me means to be constructive with your critique and praise when praise is due. that's the least a club deserves from supporters All i read on here is people having a pop when things go wrong and a not a constructive comment in sight, but that may be difficult if you get your information 3rd hand. Today we came up against a team that bullied there way to 3 points and we did not know how to cope with it Today i also witnessed a team that did try to play football and came close to winning the game if we had taken those easier chances. If Messi had missed them i would be surprised, but not low paid, 5th level standard players As the old sayings go's "You only get what you pay for" and that was very true today |

I don't think that today really told us anything we didn't know. We came up against a well organised, physical team who didn't look like scoring many but who made life difficult for us. Despite that, we carved out more than enough chances to win the game but couldn't take them because I don't think we have any natural finishers in the side to be honest. Taylor was guilty of missing a couple of good ones but so were Cunnington, Gosling, Martin and Trotman (couldn't believe that header from point blank range went over!).
A very good crowd there, who I felt were more than willing to tolerate some shoddiness in return for a result that we didn't get in the end. I honestly feel that fans at the games are prepared to knuckle down and see us win ugly so long as we win and fight our way out of this horrible league - it doesn't feel like the fans' patience is at breaking point all the time but we can also see exactly where we're falling down.
Hopefully DC is on the way to fixing this problem as he's implied in recent days. On the other hand, he has to try something else up front before any new players come in because what we have isn't working, however much he believes in Matty Taylor's ability.
Forest Green Rovers were a really ugly side with ugly players who have sold their soul and their colours to be a rich man's plaything. Losing to them is embarrassing and miserable but stuff it, I wouldn't want to go down that road to be honest.
Glad to see so many people participating in the anti-racism demo. After the last ten days, a point needed to be made about our club and it was.

Furthermore: we're really missing Sinclair. Also, Danny Coles, you are SUCH a classy person. Nobody was having a go until that little display in front of us.
