Gary Caldwell reacts to important win at Cambridge
Gary Caldwell has reacted as Exeter City built on Tuesday’s confidence building FA Cup game to record a 1-0 win on the road at struggling Cambridge United.
Josh Magennis has found form as he registered his fourth goal in three matches in the second as the group used the dogged draw against Nottingham Forest as a springboard in the league.
“We spoke a lot about the high we were on and levels we reached, and the challenge we would face to recover, but we prepared and travelled and did all the right the things and reaped the rewards.”
“The performance wasn’t great from how we wanted to play and different things didn’t work, but the character, desire, and personality to try and win a football match was very similar to Tuesday night and that is the foundation that we need.
“It was great to see a clean sheet as that is always important. Joe was excellent for us, as was big Angus in the back three and that is a really big three points for us.”
Bristol Rovers must rue recent Exeter City transfer mistake along with these 4 others
Bristol Rovers are a club that epitomise the sporadic highs and lows expected of a club that fluctuates between the lower leagues.
Having experienced four promotions and four relegations in the 21st century thus far, it is unsurprising that for every player that may provoke fond memories in the blue-and-white half of Bristol, there have been several players whose mere mention may produce a retrospective wince.
Taking a difficult look back, this article discusses five Pirates transfers that quite simply, didn’t work out.
Having just captained Gillingham to an respectable 10th place finish in League One, the arrival of German centre-half Max Ehmer was viewed as something of a coup for Ben Garner’s Gas in the summer of 2020.
Ehmer was immediately entrusted with the armband, an appointment that quickly appeared out of place, as aside from notably poor performance both technical and physical, his attitude, leadership qualities and general connection with the club were evidently off.
Following the introduction of Joey Barton, Ehmer was stripped of captaincy, with the manager claiming he could not understand why he was ever given the armband.
The Frankfurt-born defender personified the attitudes of one of Rovers’ worst seasons in modern memory, playing his final game in March as the Pirates finished comfortably rock bottom of the third-tier.
His contract was terminated shortly after the season’s conclusion. He would rejoin Gillingham, who would themselves be relegated to League Two that following season.
