Give us Leeds,Wigan and saints in the first 5 games and I'll judge him then. Can he adapt tactics to change a game, that's my worry.

If bulls got the 6 points back We'd still be in the same position would we ?

If Bulls got the 6 points back you'd all be bricking it

Could, he said. Could.

And as I stated we would have been in the same position . No COULD about it !!!

The fact Chris has been given a 3 year deal shows that they trust him far more than they ever did with Sandercock.



Its way too early. He's still living with his predecessors squad but tge signings for next year look a definate improvement in our back line.



He may not last for 3 years but at least give him a decent crack of tge whip before judging him.

How would I know if any one aplied for the job? what I do know is that I can't see any good coaches without a job down under or here. As for due process our chairman owns the club & bankrolls it he can apoint his grany if he wants. He obviously thinks he deserves a chance & my point is that he has come through the ranks at one of the best run clubs in the world (Wigan) wether he is up to it is to be seen but I will go with the clubs call untill proved diferent.

Well said, when people on hear are saying he has not done very well in the short time he has had since he took over, give him a chance Rome was not built in a day wait till next season when he has had pre season training then lets see what he can do

Hopefully things will start off better next year when Chester has the back line players in place who can defend and not make mistakes. I think 3 years is far too long for an inexperienced coach . Fortunately NH is too shrewd a business man to employ his granny , the club belongs to the fans at the end of the day and will be still in existence for years to come.



Up the robins

Do we know who his No2 will be? I would offer it to Stanley, who has done a decent job at Gateshead coping extremely well with the complexities of being a feeder club and dual registrations coupled with his other duties at Rovers. He has worked wonders with Beharrel and a few others, and I have to say this, Stan seems destined to be part of Rovers future.



Perhaps there is a strong case to promote Pete Grayburn, who is doing a sterling job with the u19s in what is a very strong competition. The club might not want to lose him in that area though, it is imperative Rovers u19s start to compete regularly in the play-offs and Pete has just about secured that aim, so continuity might be a stumbling block.



I wouldn't want Shaun Briscoe of Dave Hodgson to be leapfrogged into the role although they do have the qualities and experience to take on the role. I would prefer a seamless move, a pathway from boot room to head coach (Alah Liverpool with Shanks, Paisley et al), and Stan fits that profile.

I've read rumours that Willie Poaching may be heading our way as No.2

Good game that, bit risque but a lot of fun.
