We are going to miss the keeper big time, he has kept us in so many games. As for the post match St George's coaches manuel interview from our fella, it reminded me of the manager at Franchise FC when we last played them and he was shown the door sharpish, stereotype crap, look what Ollie did for Grimsby today and he was just there, not in charge. Lower division football is about passion not analytics

We've been dominated all over the pitch in every game since this new manager arrived. Early days, but so far he's taken a team that was hard to beat and turned them into a soft touch that gets around 40% possession. Something is very wrong in the dressing room. Early doors I know but am starting to think you may be right. First half we had chances. Second half was as poor a Rovers performance as I can remember - equivalent to the dross we were served up under Graydon, Buckle and McGhee. No shape, no obvious game plan and comedy defending that gifted three goals. We were truly lucky to get nil based on that. |

Kelly and Tomlinson on for leahy (tired) and Ogogo(slow), back four with menayese left back. sercombe centre mdifield with upson tomlinson and rodman wide, push nicholls in front of clark hariis . Menayese has had a poor game. Don't think him playing there will help... Hargreaves on for Ogogo? Don't have a problem with that... He was the best of the back 3 today. Kilgour and Rodman were the two who had shockers. |

Having had time to digest that debacle, why on earth did Ogogo declare himself fit to play when he was apparently suffering from a 'loss of feeling' in his legs, he was way off the pace as he was in the last match, I THOUGHT we had a team of Medical Experts who made decisions on who is fit to play and who is not?. Our Wingbacks are exhausted, we have no cover and our game plan is known by every team in this division. If he was not our only true Striker JCH should be dropped, his attitude towards everybody on the pitch is woeful, and surely this is evident to the opposition and can only give THEM confidence. Sure we have been punching above our weight, and our high pressing and physical game has worked when we had everybody fit, but it is not possible to keep this up with the bare bones and injury ravaged squad we have right now, BG in every interview is talking about the players he is going to bring in, I would very much like to know if WAQ and Starnes are going to give him anything to work with.

Happy New Year, you cheery bunch. spot on! If you think it’s downbeat here then have a quick browse on the other place. Talk about meltdown. Terrible stuff and we are supposed to be the better fans ! We were going to have a run like this sometime but to give the new guy such abuse, well it’s beyond me. Injuries, games played plus a manager who had had little to no time with the players and we took a beating. A fair few need to get realistic about this. We were often riding our luck as I see it. Meeting being held today with the manager and hope he can get the best out of a mediocre squad. |

We never played a high pressing game under Coughlan. We often surrendered midfield. No pace and certainly no pressing. Bang average and dull.

I don't think we were riding our luck I think GC got the very best out of an average group of players and made us difficult to beat, unless our new man is cut from the same cloth we are in a lot of trouble. |

I don't think we were riding our luck I think GC got the very best out of an average group of players and made us difficult to beat, unless our new man is cut from the same cloth we are in a lot of trouble. I’ve missed one home game and I can say that, apart from the recent Peterborough game ( they missed 3 sitters) we have been easy to run through in the middle & have played poorly but haven’t been heavily beaten but the away matches seem to have shown a different team. I think it’s way too early to say we will be in a lot of trouble as the team has been, injuries apart, the same as under Coughlan. Ben Garner has had little to no time to give any coaching and has set up as before. It’s the players who aren’t performing & I think many are just being too quick to condemn Garner. JCH’s inclusion seems to have coincided with the xmas and New Year’s Day results. Yes, he has been pivotal in saving us last season but he’s been petulant and sulky & this wont help anyone. We are only goal difference off of the pack and have a game in hand. I don’t know about you but I had said that the teams that we had already played, will have worked us out and I expected this but obviously hoped for better. Let’s not get too downbeat yet, I never had promotion as a reality given the squad & injuries. We must get behind the manager & team & give them some support. It really is a funny old game eh. |
