Last season is exactly that......history.

You're doing that thing where you see a team gets ten grand through the doors and assuming that makes them good. Bradford are PROPER useless. We walked (and I do mean, strolled about in the sun) past them 3-0 at their gaff last season and that was the best I've seen them play.

Also, I'm a little offended that BR fans in general were predicting a rout against us (PO finalists) yet appear to be quaking in their boots at the thought of a visit of the 'mighty' Northampton Town, who, quite rightly, finished 1273 places below us last year and were lucky to be that high up. They have signed Jake Robinson and that's about it. They have won, maybe, three games in the last 30, you REALLY ought to be giving them a proper hiding.

Taiwo Aiteno being a Kenya international at senior level.

And not forgetting Kevin Nicholson and Chris McPhee, capped internationals for England C.



Now we have a management team that have played at the highest domestic level and have the nous about them to play players in their "pwopper" positions, I'm hoping to see our "relegation fodder squad" play to their full potential.

Wevver he speaks pwopper or not, Dinger (L)ING DIRECT.

A good investment to be sure.

The game saturday played out how you would expect (if you werent a Rovers supporter) it looked very much like a " Play off team last season who had replaced four key players wisely" versus " a team with 15 new players who are still to gel" We were hoping it would all come together niucely and I still think it will (Rome wasnt built in a day)
I think you will have a good season and we will be there or thereabouts come the ten game mark when I think that you will find we will have a very good spell. We've got some very tough games coming up starting tomorrow and have to visit Creepy crawley and Bradford soon. Its gonna be a roller coaster ride but I'm sure it will be exciting for both of us.

You watch the management and the players there...... they will get at your players and ground staff from the moment they walk on the pitch for the warm ups. You will see they are not that good a team over all, but what they are good at is getting under the skin of the players and stopping them from playing by winding them up. Once that happens they sneak in and take advantage of your team not playing properly.

Buckle isn't very good tactically against Crawley (just as a warning).
