Congratulations to JC who today overtakes Fred Emery's record of 417 regular season League appearances.
That made me realise there's another set of records in appearances - league starts. Back in the day they had no subs, so starts is where it's at. Come on Copps, keep going, not there yet :boxing:

It's the best option. In the big scheme of things, I can live with it.
As an exile, I couldnt really follow Rovers without it. I think there are a few issues with the service but its better than following on twitter/teletext.

Sorry folks - I understand that some of you use (or try to use) player for updates but to be honest the discussion of player issues is getting in the way of the football updates. Would it be better to have a separate thread for player?
Good point - please post player issues here: http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=255160.0

fifteen wins and 7 defeats (Fergie doesnt draw many does he) could see us get in there.

The form over the last 10 games (1.7 ppg) would see us on 68 pts at the end of the season. Just outside the play-offs. So we need to go on a bit of a run but we're capable of doing that.
Might happen if Fergie recruits well in January. Maybe there is a player exchange involved in the deals for either Forrester or Wellens?
Post by: Copps is Magic on December 28, 2015, 05:35:27 pm
We havent beaten anyone in top half of table yet,is that right?
I don't know but we've drawn against Burton, Coventry and Wigan away so I don't read too much into it.

I don't think anyone is being pessimistic, but being realistic. We are not a top 6 team at the moment, but with a consistent winning run then we could be looking towards a top 6 finish. With PD incharge, most including myself were predicting relegation, no one is suggesting that now. I think we've moved along a lot since the arrival of Fergie.

I was at the Scunny game, i am a STH and sit with the BB.
You may have misunderstood my comment.
CiM had said that the faxt that we have already played the top six away and was making positive noises about our chances of pushing for top six.
I was agreeing with him, hence my "i love it when people are optimistic".
Les, to be fair we are not far away from being in with a shout of top six, i just hope DF brings the right players in in January.
We have lost just two of our last ten fixtures in League and Cup so that indicates we are going in the right direction.
Three or four consecutive league wins is not impossible and that would put us right up there amongst it.
