Rovers for a late run into the playoffs?
« on January 06, 2018, 08:36:39 pm by Michael McIndoe »
Hi Rovers fans. Michael McIndoe here. I'm taking some time out to interact with some of my old club supporters and it wouldn't be right if I didn't come on here to chat to the fans of a team I loved playing for!  :thumbsup:

With 20 games of the season left and 7 points off the playoffs - what are your thoughts on sneaking into the top 6?

Michael McIndoe my a**e

It genuinely is. He tweeted other week he was going to start posting on the vsc.

He is also a member on Bristol forums.

Next to no chance. But it's been done...

2 weeks ago we were looking like being involved in a relegation battle. I can't see us mounting a play off challenge.
If the season ended tonight I'd be happy with our final league position

Hi Michael. Nice to hear from you. I always enjoyed watching you play for us.

To answer your question - not a chance. We don't score enough goals. I am hopeful we will avoid the drop zone with something to spare but no way are we a top six side.

With some new signings next season we might be able to kick on though.

Do you think you could win 10 out of your next 20 matches because if so I think you’ve got a good chance of sneaking into the playoffs?

Where do you think you need strengthening right now?

Not enough up front for the play offs I’m afraid Michael.

Hi The Red Baron. Interesting to hear that. Is Copps still your best player?

Mid-table would be an good result for this season, given injuries and  age of squad.

Yes I did go to a couple when I was at Wolves. I wanted to see the new stadium. It’s a bit of a regret for me not having played at Keepmoat in a Rovers shirt.

Macca, a number of rovers fans have picked up on you mentioning in your book a bit if a 'drinking culture' existed at rovers in your time. Care to elaborate? It didn't seem to be detrimental to performances, or was it?

We've every chance of winning 10 games but we've also every chance of losing 10. We're in great form at the minute with some tough games ahead this month so see where we are on the 1st Feb.

We need some pace and we need some experience in the middle of the park. Someone who loves a tackle

Unfair question to ask Michael to elaborate further on the broad statement he made in his book.

I would agree that we are short of an enforcer in midfielder someone akin to John Doolan who was highly skilful and good dish out some pain to others who were unwise to mix it with him

We haven’t had a good full back pairing since Paul Quinn & Tommy Spurr in the 13/14 Championship campaign

Back in 2003 there was still a small drinking culture throughout football. Physically some players struggled in League One and I don’t think it was to do with their footballing ability it was more to do with how they lived their lives. It was about 20% of the old Rovers squad and without naming names most of those players were binned within 18 months.. It wasn’t detrimental as most of those players didn’t play a major part in the time I was there.
