[Southampton Gull]

I think he should stop breaking mirrors and kicking black cats

[Dave_Pougher]

Youve gotta laugh, listened to the interview esp.love the bit about "we're not going to blame one person or system" in other words " we defintely won't blame me or my system!"

Talking to a Rovers mate of mine last night he says he just can't see where the inspiration is going to come from, says its like it was when Atkins was there with high balls hoofed up field. Do you remember when we all felt Buckle was one game away from the sack? He always played a win out of the bag can't help feel it will be the same at the Gas, although I think they are commited to giving him a season whatever the results or what supporters feel.

Jeepers really think he did us a favour by leaving, can you imagine where we would be this season with him his cluesness the financial constraints?

LONG LIVE THE LING !!!!!

[Southampton Gull]

It'll be the fans fault next, wait and see

[BritishGAS]

In all fairness, he is right.

The Crawley game aside in which we were absolutely abysmal, the other games we were unlucky, It is nothing to do with his system, but the players inability to put the ball in the net after creating good opportunities, You cant blame Buckle for that.

We are missing some key crucial players notably Joe Anyinsah and Gary Sawyer, and Jo Kuffour who wants to f*ck off back to London, and also young Cian Bolger who is our best centre back despite being only 18.

The football on offer has been pretty dire of late but it can only improve.

We are a team in progress, and as I have said previously, with so many new players and a brand new team we are going to be inconsistent but we still have the required quality to be where we want to be in May, It is still only September and it is silly season, I still feel we will take some stopping when everybody is fit and we start to gel.

The result last night doesn't bother us Gasheads, yes it would of been nice to win I suppose to gain some momentum, but the early rounds of the paint pot are pretty sh*t there was only 700 there last night and that was with about 300 Gasheads, people only tend to take an interest in the latter rounds. The league is far mire important to us.

We beat Wycombe 6-2 at Adams Park in the paintpot quarter finals last year, but we lost to Exeter in the semis and then got relegated in May.

The league is what we need to concentrate on. Lets hope Bradford feel the wrath on Saturday :~D

You keep telling yourself that, mate. You make your own luck and he lost the recipe a long time ago................

See the problem I have with this?

Im sorry but you cant go around saying we were unlucky for the reason for losing football matches. I bet the teams playing you are unlucky not to score more.
If we were lucky we would be top of the league so would every other side in the world.

If your strikers cant finish their dinner, then you send them out for extra training at what there doing wrong, not stand there and say well maybe next week we may get lucky and one will take 15 deflections and go in.

I agree you have loads of new players and will take time, but how much time do you want exactly? Everyone has had 6 league games and you had 3 cup games. These guys live and train with each other every day for the last 2 months. They will know each other well enough to play football, there all pros. Ive i started a sunday team, id expect everyone to know everyone and be settled after 2 months. Just to add we got quite a few new players and we seem to have settled all right.

Talking to a few rovers fans they are suprised how many good sides there are in the league as they all thought they would walk the league with 100+ points.

I kind of agree that you make your own luck, but we totally outplayed Orient and lost, totally outplayed Hereford and only drew, and against Wycombe we made more chances but failed to put the ball in the net, they had 4 shots at goal and scored 3 goals, you can call it luck if you want but ultimaly it was down to poor finishing, So yes we are the architects of our own downfall but the signs are there that we are getting closer to how we want to play and apart from the Crawley disgrace where we were absolute garbage, the other games have been a fine line. Buckle has called the players in for extra training, especially after the Crawley defeat.

We need at least 10-15 games, we are still only in September, for me the league table doesn't really take shape until Nov-Dec time, that is when we should look at ourselves to see how we are playing and what the results are.

2 years ago in League one Norwich lost the opening game 7-1 at home to Colchester and they were struggling in mid table until October, in October that season we had won something like 12 of our first 14 games and were sat at the top of the table after just beating Southampton at St Mary's, we then play Norwich at Carrow Rd, they spank us 5-1 and then they went on an unbelievable run and romped the league, while we on the other hand went the other way and crumbled after that defeat and finished about 10th. I dont mind doing something like Norwich did, as long as it gets us to where we want to be.

The season is a marathon not a sprint, I dont think many Gasheads were surprised at the actual quality in this division as we had witnessed it last time we were here, and it took us 5 years to get back out. This time though our squad on paper looked a lot better than it did last time, and I think a few Gasheads got carried away with our prospects, but it is still early day's and I fully expect us to be challenging come the end.

[Southampton Gull]

Something to do with Buckle buying Harrold ??

I know of at least one of our mob who said ages ago that he wouldn't score enough

[ferrarilover]

I said the same about Harrod of AC Northampton, can I buy you a pint?

Matt.

No mate. Kind offer as it is, I must insist that I buy the beers, since you, in every way, are a superior human being to me, and I, therefore, must be subservient to you at all times.






Two can play at this game, David!

[Dave_Pougher]

I'm starting to feel sorry for gasheds. They don't deserve this. I know they wouldn't feel sorry for us if the situation was reversed but it's the whole "give him time" attitude.

He's going to ruin a decent club. Their board should take some responsability here, he's not experienced at this level which is one of the reasons they signed him. OK emotions aside (I'm not a gas head I promise) reading their forum he seems to be targeting Joe K, (that may not be his fault as he's a high wage earner) and Caryol. If he had any mangement nonus he would get these two onside regardless of what the board think, we know theres two players that could get you out of the sh1t but his man management skills (or lack of) won't let him do that. (and we all know why that is!)

Hey ho their problem not ours..

Do we want them to beat Bradford on Sat or not or do we want Buckles side to become the whipping boys of L2?

Gotta feel for them though.

Harrold is proving everybody wrong Dave, He has 5 goals to his name and is the only one pulling his weight and putting the ball in the net, he has already halved his goal tally of last year in about 8 games.

Zebroski on the other hand :B

[Southampton Gull]

I'd have thought he would be scoring more though, what with you totally outplaying everyone
