    I’m afraid we are fecked.

    Week left of the window but even if the chairman was prepared to throw 10 Bob in the kitty where would we spend it?

    In today’s game Watson was excellent. Taft (his best performance for weeks) and O’Malley were adequate. The rest were shite.

    Felt for young Burns just like I used to feel for young Scrimshaw. Work your arse off for 90 minutes without a decent pass coming your way.

    I feel for Hill who is arguably the best manager since Adkins left the building.

    As you have constantly reminded us morons for the last 8 years it’s your football club.

    Hope your proud of yourself.

    Saw Wilson in a couple of pre season games and he was very much at the top end of the effort and commitment scale.

    From what I can see he played right back in his very early days but the bulk of his career has been as a centre back.

    Good post Bucks until the last paragraph.

    Whilst there are one or two that frequent this forum that are very quick to point out “I told you so” that should not be confused with wanting the team to disappear from the EFL.

    Even UTI99 does not really want that despite his claims that it is no big deal.

    By the way if you asked fans of long established League clubs if losing League status is a big deal then I suspect more than 99% of them would say it is a very big deal.

    The raw emotion that we are seeing on the site these days is driven by fear of losing our League status. In manifests itself as anti the chairman simply because he is the only person in a position to influence the outcome.

    A position of total control and responsibility that he himself sought, achieved and then revelled in. He has 2 weeks to take the actions (or not) that will determine the clubs immediate and possibly long term future.

    Bear in mind Peter it will cost a few quid to stay in the League but will cost an awful lot more to get back there. Come on and prove the majority of us wrong here. I won’t even mind you saying “I told you so”.

    For most of Scrimshaw’s starts he was in a team with no method to attack and little inclination to do so.

    He is a young lad trying hard to learn his trade. Personally I think he will make a league player. The lad will score goals if he gets chances. Unlike WG I thought he did get into good areas. The team were not good enough to get the ball to him once he got there.

    Even as loan signings 19 and 20 year olds are no use at the bottom of League 2.

    Good to see family members showing some interest in the club. It’s been a while.

    Message hasn’t changed though. We should tip our hats and be thankful for our sorry slide to the National League and beyond.

    Minimum expectation today:
    Compete and play a bit of football

    Would like:
    We somehow fashion a point against a decent team

    Would love:
    We somehow manage another win – don’t care how but it would give the team a lot of confidence and set our fellow strugglers thinking. It would also be our first and probably only double of the season.

    I would like us to sign players that are fit and can play a bit of football.

    If they are triple jabbed that would be a bit of a bonus.

    After 3 years of dreading match days they get postponed just when you start looking forward to them again.

    Did OK. Should have scored late on.

    Shame we never really saw the lad when he was here.

    Some people still believe the crap he comes out with but part of the reason he isn’t trusted is because he keeps coming out with this stuff – he just likes being on the radio and listening to his own voice – what comes out of his mouth is irrelevant to him

    Reminds me of someone else with a slightly more important job.

    Unless you are playing against a significantly better football team why set up to defend?

    Of course you defend as well as you can when you have to but to do it by choice seems bizarre to me. Southgate is by nature very cautious and I called it on here before the Euros.

    I still believe we had the most talented squad in the competition particularly in attack. Must be a thing with ex Middlesbrough players to try and defend your way to a 1-0 win despite it rarely working.

    I am sure it is a coincidence but it’s funny how these West Country teams find a way to get matches postponed. Only when they have lots of injuries and suspensions of course.

    With Swindon it was the wind and with Bristol Rovers it’s Covid.

    It’s taken us 4 games Cass to get 3 points so I guess getting 3 points in 1 game is a good run.

    Only joking BS.

    Pretty much agree with your ratings other than would have given Green and Onariase 1 less each.

    According to BS we are only playing with 8 players.

    Can’t believe Green gets the nod ahead of Scrimshaw or even Loft. Or even the club cat.

    If Hill can make a footballer out of Devarn he should get the Old Trafford gig at the end of the season.

    Rowe now being reinvented as a defensive midfielder? Will someone play the lad as right back until he gains more experience? He is a decent prospect at full back but he is not ready to play multiple positions.

    As ever I hope Green, Rowe and Hill prove me wrong.

    Sounded refreshingly honest to me. Was proud of his players effort whilst accepting they are not very good. Talked of improving the quality of his hard working less technical players and getting more work out of the more competent players.

    Makes a lot of sense and more interesting than “We trained really well this week”.

    Did not sense the distancing mentioned but let’s face it – Hill did not pick any of the 25 players he has inherited and would have been unlikely to pick more than 4 or 5 of them.
