Bristol Rob Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Gaschat makes for amusing reading today. There is a split between 'sack the manager' - no win in 15, and 'he is building for the future, give him more time'. That said, most of them seem to think their game this weekend is crucial. One thing the 'sack him' brigade haven't done yet, is go full on OTIB mental which seems to accompany this place after ever home game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 My Gasman source tells me that there's trouble brewing. Some of Cockmans players, who had got them up to 4th place ain't happy they've been binned off. Some of Alf Garner's new signings ain't happy that they're not straight into the team. At least one unused sub at a recent away game refused to go out for the post match fitness session, leading to a massive row with Alf.

Away support was excellent. Fair few Bury fans in the away end too. They proper hate Salford. Didn’t get back to Bristol till 2 so most of the Plymouth fans would have got home around 4am.
