Curle asked us to judge him after he gets players that fit his jigsaw .....
I’m not sure we will learn anything from this transfer window where expediency seems to be the order of the day with a host of loan players .

In fairness this window was never going to be his judgement day.  You only have to look at all the other deals to understand how difficult January is.

Window shut.  We are where we are it's time to pull together and see this season through now.

Agreed , the supporters have a part to play in this but the club and the manager needs to connect with us more and be a lot more transparent.
We are treated as idiots at times - just be honest with us !

I shudder to think what permutations KC can come up with around Hoskins and Taylor for Saturday's squad.

Hmmmm . I’m not so sure .
KT is ruthless and we have gone nowhere .
Let’s see shall we

You have got to be joking. Curle took over when we had 7 points in 10 matches (were we sitting in the bottom two?) and turned it around pretty quickly.

We have been massively unfortunate with injuries recently meaning we have faced a tricky few weeks made more difficult due to the sale of Crooks and VV followed by a gap between us being able to bring in extra reinforcements. With Crooks sold and JJOT, McWilliams and Foley injured, we essentially lost our entire central midfield. This situation has harmed our form in the last few games without a doubt.

However, we have claimed 27 points in a total of 19 league matches and are still unbeaten at home under his watch.

If we claim a similar point-per-game ratio in the final 17 as we did in Curle's first 19 games, we will finish not far off 60 points. With players returning from injury and the new signings I see no reason to disbelieve that we will reach that target.

Curle is massive step-up from JED, Page, JFH and Austin IMO and he needs another year to see what he can do.

His jigsaw puzzle looks further from completion than ever.

Odd team selections, and persistence with the 352.

Jesus wept, so you want yet another manager sacked as he’s not up to it.  His record suggests he is capable of delivering the target I assume the board set him.

Think it's safe to say after the Transfer window and now today, I want him out.

Of our 27 points gained under KC, 13 came from his first 7 matches. That means we've now taken 14 points from our last 13 matches, which is relegation form. We've had injuries (like most sides) and it's true our central midfield has been hard-hit. But vV and Matt Crooks were here while we got relegated last year and left when we were well into the bottom half of the table this year so I don't see them as a great loss.

The problem is that, after a good start, his team now seems just as clueless as it did under the other managers you mention. I hope KC is a step up, but he's yet to prove it.

His insistence on playing 3-5-2 when we don't have any wing backs, I'm afraid, will cost us our League status. Today was embarrassing, In the 2nd half Goode came over and basically asked KC "What the **** is going on?" The midfield was non existent, I don't think anyone got a tackle in at all in the 2nd half. He either needs to play players in the correct positions or go, some of the things he does you wouldn't get a schoolboys teams doing.

How many minutes of the season were Bristol Rovers in the bottom two when they got relegated? We need to be careful and not complacent

At this stage of the season, in 2014 Bristol Rovers had 34 points from 30 games......were in 18th place.....and went down on the last day with 50 points!

And we were bottom.....with 26 points and ended up surviving with 53.

Curle staring there is a rift in the changing room is deflecting attention from himself .
No player on that bench deserves automatic selection.
He can only be referring to Buchanan , Williams and Williams . No one else except Hoskins could possibly have a voice .
The truth is , none of them have been shining lights and no one can complain at being left out .
Only Cornell , Bridge and Turnbull have a right to be in that side currently

In my opinion the man is obstinate and narccistic, a common trait in many football managers at all levels. He’s got his system and by hell or high water the players will fit into it - or don’t get selected.  Half the team will continue to play like strangers because he’ll continue to experiment with them within his system, inabling them to form any kind of rapport.  Once in a while he’ll get lucky and the selection will work, but rather than build on it, it just makes him more arrogant to experiment (moving Bridge wing back after his performance in the middle is a typical example).

He’s an intelligent manager, but can’t take criticism or accept blame.  He has a selective view of a game so doesn’t recognise (or refuses to acknowledge) the issues, as shown by his ‘fine margins’ comments yesterday.

I think we’ll stay up but probably due more to the deficiencies of other teams than anything Keith Curle does...

Williams twice? Surely you're not suggesting Jay Williams.

There is a lot of negativity towards KC at the moment - and in my opinion correctly so.

His insistence on a formation that doesn't work for the players we have, playing Taylor when the statistics of performance with or without are compelling, bizarre substitutions and favoring the likes of Powell over better players has been discussed at length here.

Of course we will get the "voices of reason" that say who are we to judge a professional football manager with years of experience - well my answer to that one is close to Buster's comments - tactical ability is only one aspect of a successful manager but character and people management being a much larger part. Currently KC is clearly seriously failing on that - however given our 2 year track record this clearly goes deeper than the simple ability of the actual manager - something is seriously wrong at our football club - KC in my opinion is never going to take this club forward but his inevitable departure will change nothing until we have a fundamental change on the heart (ownership) of our football club.
