Sad when that's all you have left. If it were the case then how embarrassing for such an established club with all your tradition to be being beaten on and off the pitch by us new boys !

Fickle bunch aren't they, when we were beating them regular they didn't want to know the derby games, now it's different. If they'd have had their way earlier this season with the 'Radford out' demands where would they be now.

This coming from the lot that caved in to the Chester Out demands?
Seems to be doing an unbelievable job at Wakey. Where could you have been?...

He had his chance......He failed. If he is that good a coach, then where was this miracle he's achieving at Wakefield when he was with us?
We'll see how good he is next season when he signs his own players and gives them his type of pre-season.

He didn't buy into peacocks 5 year grand plan, seems to be doing ok at wakey, maybe the dobbins got rid of the wrong one?

First and foremost he was the coach. Future planning is not of interested to him regardless, that peacocks role. He had a first team fully assembled and a pre season upon him......... He failed spectacularly.

Some coaches and clubs just aren't the right fit. For whatever reason Chester at Rovers didn't work, he's gone to a new club with probably a similar squad in terms of ability, and everything has just clicked. They scraped a couple of good wins and have ridden a wave of confidence since.

I don't think it was a bad decision to get rid, although that depends on who his long term replacement is I guess.

Pretty much spot on, he was rubbish with us well before Peacock came along and the team has showed improvement since he left. I got the feeling he lacked respect with us and seemed lost in the role. He's gone into a team that has been set up and had to just instill a bit of belief. The proof will be how he handles adversity and if he can build for next year. Don;t begrudge the guy his current success but him staying with us was not an option.
