@bbcbristolsport@Official_BRFC My question:
Steve mentioned in a club interview upon signing his new contract that there would be some ‘exciting’ recruitment this summer. How confident is he that he can bring in the quality he’s looking for?
Please thank Steve for such an enjoyable end to the season!

@calcology It’s a worry that Evans doesn’t seem to have a plan. This XI looks pretty desperate and random. Obviously hope we win and it’s proven to be a masterstroke, but we’ve been Gasheads long enough to fear the worst.
@calcology@JoshLoud1@LP15393 Don’t waste your energy, the fact people automatically think you’re writing players off just because you question the strategy says it all about some of our fanbase.
@Bristoldelboy2@Official_BRFC I hoped DC would be that man but it hasn’t happened. I don’t know which way we turn now unfortunately. The whole thing is a mess.
@Bristoldelboy2@Official_BRFC Recruitment is everything, I agree. But I’d hazard a guess 30%+ of our wage bill is taken up by a few players signed in 2024 that have been a monumental waste of money, and that has hamstrung our recruitment efforts this year.
@Bristoldelboy2@Official_BRFC I think DC has to go, no doubt about it now. But the bigger picture shows there’s more to it than just the manager. They have gone through several managers in two years and nothing has worked. The common denominator? Them.
@calcology@bs4_gas Spot on. He had no choice but to sign ‘dross’ because that’s all the remaining budget would allow. Do people really think he’d sign some of the players he did if more of the budget was available for him to spend? It’s embarrassing that some fans can’t see that.
@mancgas I’m not doubting that but we have players who aren’t good enough that DC would want to get rid of but can’t who are hamstringing us. It’s a contributing factor. There are clearly other issues but I don’t think a new manager can muster anything different.
@mancgas@Im_sprouticus I can’t understand what has changed since half time in that game. We were largely uninspiring during most of the winning run but we were resolute if nothing else. Now we don’t even have that. I don’t know how or if DC can switch that back on.
@mancgas My point about the legacy players is more that their contracts are hamstringing us. We’ve had to retain them and that has limited what we’ve been able to do in the market. I too would be concerned if we continue in this vain with our strongest XI fully fit.
Grimsby can beat Manchester United but they can’t beat Bristol Rovers 🥲
After failing to win on the road for 12 league games, The Pirates are sailing ⛴️ #BristolRovers
@HARD_FI@musicalpictures It was a brilliant set lads. The tunes sounded as good as ever. Looking forward to watching you again soon when you announce new dates 😁
@BBCBristol@JoeSims10 That guy near the end had his 10 seconds of fame and used it to talk about Rovers. You know, that team that are apparently irrelevant to them now. Priceless.
