Following a disasterous start ot the season bristolrovers.vitalfootball.co.uk has revealed that chairman Nick Higgs has put manager Paul Trollope under pressure, giving the Rovers gaffer 'a limited amount of time' to turn results around for the better.
In their last eight games, spread over the end of last season and the start of this, Rovers have won only one game from their last ten, with only one draw included in that sequence. The poor run has spread into this season with two heavy defeats for Rovers, going down 3-0 away at Peterborough before a humiliating 6-1 loss to League 2 side Oxford United in the Carling Cup.
It is thought that Trollope will have two games to change the course of the season, the two fixtures being against Yeovil Town in a local derby and away at Exeter City, the first game the Grecians will play since the sad death of striker Adam Stansfield. With the following match being at home to highly rated Southampton the gas will want to get at least four points from these two games before heading into battle with the Saints.
Fans have also been questioning the Rovers manager due to his continuing innability to sign a targetman, something that was commented on by Nick Higgs in his chairmans report this week.
'Unfortunately, Paul has yet to find anyone who he feels fits the bill, but we remain committed to bringing a big striker to club as soon as possible', Higgs wrote in his weekly column.
He also addressed fears from fans that they may have to wait for the exit of striker Darryl Duffy before any further new players can be signed.
