Peter Taylor would be just as bad an appointment as Kean and Berg were. The man is burnt out, over the hill. Surely it has to be Billy Davies?
4:24pm
I can only describe Rovers' goal as it happened. Rochina's goal was a deflection off his shins after he had been tackled

BRFC0808 says
I wonder how Peter Taylor comes in to contention when he doesn't have " Lot of PL Experience" as said by the Venkys'
Atleast there should be some basis to panic, even if venkys dont keep their word!!
My guess is Hughes bcuz nowhere he has officially rejected it and there wont be any PL team to take him as even the Bottomers of PL rejected him!!

Irishroverfan says
It is quite an attacking line up with Rhodes, Rochina, King and Kazim all potential strikers. Would be good to know once they take to the field what the formation is? Same as last time with 4-3-2-1 or is it a straight 4-4-2? Come on Rovers get another win - we need the confidence,
3:02pm
@CryerRovers Tell shebby/venkys WE DO NOT WANT PETER TAYLOR AS MANAGER! Be a fans backlash if he gets appointed. Want davies!

Happy new year! Hope 2013 is better for all rovers fans! It can't be worse surely?
— @CryerRovers 01 January 2013
In todays lt. No green light given to move for any manager. Talks as we speak - hope to decide on one before end of game. Far from definite
— @CryerRovers 01 January 2013
Anyone expecting a managerial announcement early tmrw at rovers, don't. Decision not even made. Details in lt tmrw

@CryerRovers sorry if already stated but what are yr thoughts on Robinson's omission? And what do you think of Peter Taylor strong rumour?

As for Peter Taylor, he can't be any worse than Kean and Berg. He got the Gills promoted, so as a Gills fan as well as Rovers, I do admit to being a bit biased!
I thnk the club needs someone with a strong personality that could steady the ship and work in conjunction with Gary Bowyer.
Whilst I am no fan of the owners and shebby, it seems to me that no matter who they appoint someone is going to moan. As they say, you can please some of the people some of the time................

Tom F's bedroom probably has Keano pics and newspaper cut out, blood stained on the Kean Out chants in a darkened room in his council flat or parents house. Let him be or else that guy you keep seeing when you walk down the street? just maybe looking for a few bodies to cut up and make himself a keano body suit...

Keans one handed save at 1 -0 won the game, and won over the fans as well, good to hear all sides of the ground getting behind the team, it's been a long, long time coming.
Not happy with the "Shebby is a ****" chants though, there are an awful lot of self respecting **** out there who will be pretty upset at that.

Prospects look good...!
ok
I have tried to look at the 1st team squad and analyzed what players are ok and what potential we have and those that should be moved on.
I would like to hear what other fans views are?
List those who you want out?
What players would you like to see playing at BRFC ?
Have you seen any players you think could do the business for Rovers?
Let’s hear your views?
Paul Robinson - OK: let go if he wants out.
Grzegorz Sandomierski - Untried
Jake Kean –YOUNG Ok: Potential
Martin Olsson- OK Keep if motivated
Nuno Henrique- Untried Potential
Gael Givet- sell ; Ok Keep if motivated
Scott Dann- Ok Keep; sell if money is right
Josh Morris- YOUNG Ok Potential
Adam Henley- YOUNG Ok Potential
Grant Hanley- ok for squad not 1st team
Bruno Ribeiro- ok for squad; Potential
Jason Lowe- YOUNG Ok as squad member
David Dunn- past it; let go
Mauro Formica- Not good enough, sell if possible
Morten Gamst Pedersen- past it; let go
Danny Murphy- past it; let go
Marcus Olsson- ok for squad
Paulo Jorge- YOUNG Untried Potential
Dickson Etuhu- past it; let go
Simon Vukcevic- Ok Potential
Diogo Rosado- YOUNG OK Potential
Fabio Nunes- YOUNG OK Potential
Leon Best- ??? Hopefully ok
Jordan Rhodes- Keep of course
Joshua King- OK Buy Potential
Nuno Gomes- Ok Keep
Ruben Rochina- OK keep if motivated
Colin Kazim-Richards- OK Keep
Bradley Orr – Crap; sell
David Goodwillie ok But sell if money refunded.
we now require a midfield general, a leader, a box to box player someone who can command the team and motivate them.
& we require a good strong central defender to play alongside Dann as he lacks confident and cannot distribute the ball well.
Hopefully with a commanding figure in defence, Dann will be okay alongside.
