Just out of interest, Reading appointed a manager with experience of only managing at Conference level and they are not doing too badly are they. Whatever you make of Saunders credentials, I dont think you can argue the fact he was manageing in the conference should stop him being sucessful at this level.

Quote from: \"ditch_drfc\" post=228084How can you be calling for Saunders to go? At such a crucial time. We're back in the same situation on this forum as we were before we sacked SOD. Who's going to manage us better? It's alright saying \"Saunders Out\", but tell me, who right at this moment will manage us better. And before anyone suggests it, Mark Wilson, Dave Penney and Neil Sullivan are pathetic answers!Suanders has had 30 games incharge of rovers and got us 30 points any manager with that record would be sacked end of

Between January and December 2007, O'Driscoll won 45 points from 38 games in League 1, with one of the best and most expensive squads in the Division. We looked a shambles for much of that time, with slow, ponderous, apparently punch less football regularly served up. I personally, and several thousand others thought the manager was clueless and was adopting a strategy that could not possibly succeed.5 months later we beat Leeds at Wembley.May I politely suggest that those who are now calling for Saunders to go reflect on the above facts and shut the fcuk up for a couple of days.
I think we'll turn it around. Starting Saturday. Saunders in for me. Review at the end of the season.
Bit different when the football looks to be getting progressively worse, despite the calibre of the players we've draughted in and we look to be heading for certain relegation.
Saunders has a lot to contend with none more so than Diouff and his prima dona antics. Then we have a few decisions which dont make sense namely taking off strikers for midfield or defenders. Yes his strategy of long ball game cannot work at our place. When the ball was on the floor we walked all over Milwall but they cant stick to it any more. Saunders as a squad that should be capable of putting us mid table but for whatever reason they dont want to perform. Can anyone recall over last 6 weeks or so when we have had an unchanged side?Should Saunders be sacked? Not in my opinion but I do think he needs to drop Diouff and Copps for a game or three. In fact Copps to me looks a ot like Mcindoe did before he left. Oh and for those who keep saying SOD was fired he wasn't he was placed on gardening leave until he left for Forest. He was the one who told Ryan he had taken the team as far as he could (check the minutes posted by the VSC after a convo with Ryan if you think I am wrong). What has gone wrong this season? One word Mckay

Whatever made John Ryan think that Dean Saunders (managing a conference side) would be able to manage a Championship side as in my opinion he seems well out of his depth. On Tuesday nights evidence there seems little team spirit with one of the worst performances I have witnessed in a long time, and agree totally with the thoughts of '1-0 to the Doncaster'. Everything we have built over the last few years has now been totally destroyed with the incoming of loanee players who were out of work and are now playing for Doncaster in the hope of rekindling their own careers. Diouf attempts to run the show on the field and does not provide any team spirit. Just look at Coppinger - he looks like someone who has had the wind well and truly took out his sails. The future at Rovers looks a little bleak this morning and the thought of Saunders and Mckay taking us into League One and beyond worries me.
Quote from: \"River Don\" post=228421Bit different when the football looks to be getting progressively worse, despite the calibre of the players we've draughted in and we look to be heading for certain relegation.RD: Have you forgotten how woeful we were back in Oct/Dec 07? The games against Walsall, Tranmere, Brighton, Yeovil? And that with a squad that was hugely expensive by the standards of the division. A squad with Stock, Wellens, Coppinger, Sullivan, Hayter, Price, Heffernan, Green, O'Connor looking like mid-table flounderers at best. At the time, it felt like a bloody awful 10 months was getting rapidly worse despite utterly unprecedented investment from Ryan.
