[quote="DevonYellow"]Sounds like Lee Mansell has reverted to type at the Gas
"Mansell: 5. Average. Worked hard, but to no effect."
And to think we now have Young and Richards in the middle! No wonder there's a feel good factor

I should tell Rovers fans not to worry. If Luton Town can survive five years in the Conference, then I'm sure Bristol Rovers can. After all, Rovers are a big club, aren't they? But perhaps they ought to consider inviting Paul Buckle back as manager at some stage.. ;-)

And also to be fair against Gateshead[b] Maddison was the only one that really tore us apart, since he's moved to Peterborough[/b], Gateshead only just beat Chester 2-1 and today lost to Kidderminster 2-1, think without Maddison they're quite an ordinary side.[/quote]Started for them and scored the first goal today as well.

[quote="brucie"]The measure for me is Aldershot - they looked good against Eastleigh but I thought we made them look average.
We could actually have won all our games bar Gateshead and could have been top of the league by now.
I think the league is quite average to be honest.[/quote]

well we hope the atmosphere is returning. but will the crowds return to match it.?

Not convinced that Lincoln and Aldershot will finish bottom half tbh. Also should be noted that Nuneaton were pretty decent last season and racked up 66 points. Only a late season collapse seen them slip down the table. Was an all round excellent performance today with no negatives. Confidence is on the up and the team will go to Chester more expecting to perform well than hoping.

After our opening day defeat, we are now 6 games unbeaten. 1 point off a playoff place, a healthy +7 GD, 4 clean sheets in the last 6 games, atmosphere by all accounts is vocal unlike like the previous 2 seasons at Plainmoor. The team is gelling and has a togetherness. Surely the confidence will breed more confidence and set us up for a promotion push. Yes, our first 7 games apart from Gateshead have been against teams who we would expect to be in bottom half of table, but we have shown improvement in every game played. I feel we must acknowledge the hard work by CH in what was a tight budget, and the players he has brought have fight, ambition and more importantly appear to play as a team. The future looks very promising. COYY :scarf:
