No chance of an Uber in this City, tell him to get in the queue outside the station like the rest of us

On a more serious note, id give him a bit more time but its worrying that he doesnt know his strongest team and seems to be playing the big names just because

I'm wondering if he is under pressure from AP to play the big earners we've had a huge chunk of the salary cap sat in the stands at various times this season . Just can't see why he is persisting with Reynolds and gale it's so obviously not working

I'm hoping the international break gives us time to work on a few thinks. All the attack ran through Connor. We need a plan B and fast.

If we change coach, it can't be another inexperienced coach, needs to be someone with a lot of experience, high standards and can get results out of the squad they inherit, not the cycle we seem to get into of giving each coach a 2-3 year grace period to build their own team . when Agar was at the helm, he got 2-3 years to build his own team, then Gentle comes in and has time to rebuild from Agar, Radford comes in and has 2-3 years to get his own team, now hodgson is rebuilding from Radford...if a new coach comes in he can't have 2 years to rebuild from hodgson, it just gives the impression that some seasons are pointless but next season will be better etc etc...eventually fans patience will run out and they'll stop attending

Spot on. We seem to have a habit of employing Assistants and hoping for the best.

And yes patience is wearing thin with the fans, post-Covid we are now down to the hardcore passholders and due to the size of the ground there is no fear of not getting a ticket, throw in a cost of living crisis and I can see more just picking and choosing games next season.

Also the stupid loop games arent attractive, I could do without seeing Toulouse at home again and a 2nd pasting at home from Saints for example, thats about 40quid of my pass money wasted.

Lack of money will protect him. The injuries to the squad will protect, as it can be used as an excuse.
Seems a good guy, and I’d like him to do well.
Some of his team selections, and use of interchanges, puts doubts in your mind though.
He’s very guarded in what he says, and that’s not a bad thing. Just when you’ve been poor it doesn’t translate very well to supporters.
Think he’ll still be here until the end of his contract. Tony Smith being available is interesting. Think he got the Dobbins playing above themselves, but does his coaching record come up to scrutiny?

Tony Smith is top class and id have him at the club any day of the week. He was building a long term plan for Rovers until his surprise announcement, a young team with far better use of the salary cap than what we have right now. They have dropped off because it never works when a coach (or any manager) says they are working their notice.

Brett is as inconsistent as Justin Bieber’s left eye wink

Not afraid to drop underperforming big name players either.
