I propose my pet cat, Ruby. Cheaper than Ben Garner and can't do any worse. I'll arrange the two potential formations in front of her and she can dab her paw on her preference (only 4-4 f*c*ing 2, or 3-5-3). Then the players are similarly arranged and again we can use her "paw patrol" to pick the starting XI. What's not to like? with a 3 5 3 we would certainly be playing with our tails up. Oopsie. Sorry, 3-5-2. Just me being wildly optimistic. It would soon transcend into a 5-4-1. Tough times. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

Either to be honest, could not do any worse, we are bottom looking up at lesser supported teams on a lot less budgets and they still rise to heights we can only dream of.

I think a Xbox Championship Manager addict would have won more games than this Garner .

He may not be up to the job, but he seems like a nice bloke who’s giving his all to be a success here. It’s not working, but not sure he deserves the tasteless name-calling. it made me laugh though 😁 but doesn’t it look like, the weekly after match wailing and gnashing of teeth by fans, having to wave our little skinny fists at something, is all towards Garner. It’s just a Big Ben boil that needs to be lanced, and then we will get better. the players themselves are making some horrendous errors that pull the rug from any good things they are also doing? If anyone is saying the only issue is Garner, sack him and we are cured, I disagree. This young, inexperienced side will still have to achieve the performances to produce the points to keep us up. We have “de experienced” our squad chasing this invest in youth play Garner Ball dream of the owners. So Garner Outers do need more to assure us than saying all our ills are cured once he’s sacked. Though a rookie manager, he’s not that inexperienced of professional coaching to be honest. However, despite saying that, if we were still playing like we did against Ipswich away and Sunderland away, I would agree with you, and suggest he should go. But we are not. our performances are improving each week this season. Whilst performance progress chart can still show upward curve, and may add results to it, I’m holding my fire. A good performance and win next week, it’s still upward performance curve from start of this season when you draw line through the dots. Tbh i said the same before the season started, tough set of fixtures, I’m ignoring results just want to see performance improve and Garner Ball reveal itself. I think it is. In glimpses last week, and virtually through all today, I have seen Garner Ball. I am not ignoring results now. But I’d like to watch these under Garner Saturday 3rd October LEAGUE ONE Bristol Rovers 15:00 Northampton Tow Saturday 10th October LEAGUE ONE Lincoln City 15:00 Bristol Rover Saturday 17th October LEAGUE ONE Bristol Rovers 15:00 Burton Albio Tuesday 20th October LEAGUE ONE Shrewsbury Town 19:45 Bristol Rover

A true manager will identity the weaknesses in his club even if means it’s a detriment to him personally.
I feel we need an experience strong leader. Cottrell would be my choice though I can’t see him being able to work with Garner or vice versa.

I don't think he could be critcized for JCH leaving, but Tony Craig, Abu Ogogo and Ollie Clarke should all still be at this club.

No respect shown in this thread. Utter contempt shown in a typical social media dog**it way. Shameful but expected

Shameful but expected There has been ONE comment that was uncalled for, which btw was pointed out in the very next post, other than that, there is not one single untoward comment. Watch Ben Garners interview and his comments about referees if you are looking for a lack of respect though.

There has been ONE ... other than that, there is not one... Not one, other than one. English is easily contradicted. Rex is right though, I think. Most criticism here is civil.

Shameful but expected How many forums of teams who's fans feel they are underperforming massively would have a 'Next Boss' thread, before he is gone? All of them I expect It depends where your limit is, Accrington would not have one this season unless Coleman goes, but where is their limit? They are still probably in dreamland, whereas we rightly have higher expectations than that. If we were one division above this wouldn't be happening as that is our dreamland. Whereas I don't understand how Chelsea can play the way they did but club legend Lampard can get away with it. It's not disrespect, just football and opinion.

Are the Cowley brothers fixed up with a job yet? They’d get the best out f this squad.
No to Ollie, Cotterill (shudder) or squeaky Lee from me. Maybe to Pulis if we could get him but there is risk that he would be another Graydon or McGhee. Undecided on Duff, yes to Tisdale

I accept what you're saying, but obviously disagree. Name calling isn't the lowest form of offence. Insulting fans intelligence is worse (decisions? missed opportunities? the journey? not enough training?) and I take great offence at BG talking BS so for me name calling is fair game, class or no class. BG took the gloves off..

There are managers and there are coaches. Trolls excellent coach, nothing without Lenny. Breif go as manager at Cardiff but not looked at again as top man.
So do we need someone above at the moment? No to Coppell.

I was fuming after his interview yesterday, in the cold light of morning , it probably won't do much sacking him now without a Plan B- which I suspect we don't have, but we need to start having some sort of back up plan.
If they don't sack Garner now, they at least need to be having the 'This is where we are, this is where we need to be, in this time frame' kind of conversation with him.

No conversation you can have with Loser Boy will change anything, he isn't capable of doing the job. Let's put it this way, you stand in front of a pure, uncut diamond and have the owner of the mine talk to you for a bit about how to cut that stone. Are you now able to cut it? Wael is every bit as much to blame for this mess as Garner. Who I've never liked. No idea why people on multiple threads here are saying that he seems like a nice bloke. Listen to any of his interviews to get an insight into the bloke, everything is framed around 'I' and 'me', he comes across as horribly self centred.
