...or even Steve.
Well they don't run off randomly, and they don't do any friendly-fire damage, so for expert they're probably preferable to most random public servers. To a certain extent they are only as effective as the human player they're paired with. That said, they can't run and gun for ****. Even the most retarded group of noobs would be better than the bots for the rollercoaster.
In the end I did the following:
Move slowly towards alarm structure scaffolding, so the bots can keep up (crouch-walking using the sniper rifle to clear oncoming zombies works well).
Once you reach the alarm structure, throw a bile bomb into the main courtyard, and leg it up to switch off the alarm. the bile bomb should give the bots enough space to clear the zombies around them, and then join you on the scaffolding. Once all four of you are up there, defending against the remaining attack shouldn't be a problem (unless a charger manages to get up there!).
The bots are very annoying at times, but at least they're predictable. Quite an interesting challenge to survive with them I find
Bots are dumb as hell and its been getting gradually worse the longer L4D has been out. Seriously even the original games bots have been getting worse.
My personal favourite is when they stand there like retards getting pounded on from all sides trying to shoot them very very slowly with pistols and never landing a single hit..

wow that gnome takes up half the screen!
Well obviously, why would you be interested in the infected hurtling towards you to tear you apart when you're carrying a gnome with the most gormless look on its face ever
After carrying that ******* thing throughout the whole of Half Life 2: Episode 2 it just adds a whole new era of torment...

Just tried out the Gnome mutation on Dead Centre... Make sure someone's holding him in the elevator, otherwise he disappears, forcing a restart.
And they've removed the ability to throw the little blighter!

What really happened was the guh-nome was actually an alien in disguise (you just need to look at that smile to know he's hiding something) and once in orbit he managed to send off a communication to his fellow guh-nomes indicating that Earth was ready for attack.
Unfortunately, the guh-nomes, when travelling to Earth were caught in the gravitational field of a black-hole but managed to escape by opening a rift to an alternate Universe, one where Gordan Freeman and the Combine don't exist.
Finally, upon arrival at Earth they release a virus into the atmosphere, infecting almost the entire population of Earth overnight. They're currently strategically placing themselves all over the Earth (some even with the unwitting help of surviving Humans) in order to carry out their diabolical plan. They intend to teleport the Earth into orbit around the Guh-nome homeworld where it will provide extra living space for the overpopulated planet.
And you're helping them

Bah! Our netgear router died today so currently using the spare BT Homehub, which d/cs quite often and is slower anyway. So basicly no online games until we have a new one sorted out. And to think I said that we'd need to replace our router in 6 months or so anyway, thought it would still be working when we did!

Unlucky. Its a miracle mine is still working, though i do have half the upload speed which sometimes causes massive lag...

Hmmm...Fixed it. I love netgears.
Needed to completely erase the firmware using the special recovery tool and this guide here: http://dgteam.ilbello.com/index.php?pid=16
Though I think we need a new one now if it's gonna start screwing up like this. So anyway, panic over.
