That’s one way to get their attention.

Another point is that the fear of dropping/farming out is also a potent motivator. I work in a field where it’s similar. If you don’t perform you can get managed out pretty quickly. You have to have it spelled out, the implications. You realise these players probably have raised their own bars several notches. The first job in management is to get them working hard. If that doesn’t work then you look at what they are doing, if neither of these work then it’s the player. We just witnessed step one. Strawberries or Cabbages? Excellent

The team he selects has got to man up and get on with it, after all they are all playing for their places. Can someone please tell them that. I suspect JB already has . . .

You will be ok you have got Joey and Jesus on the case they will sort it out I’d be a lot more confident if we had Joey in midfield and Jesus up front! I used to live in Wandsworth when I was a much younger man, and on the main roadbridge was written "Jesus saves, but Keegan nods in the rebound"

Assuming JB's referring to Upson not being ready then it does make you wonder what our coaching staff do during games, isn't it their jobs ensure the subs are all warmed up and ready to play if called upon, not just the players themselves?
As far as mistakes, I don't feel Leahy or Ayunga v Wigan, deliberately made mistakes they are just not up to the quality required, Ayunga is hopefully young enough to learn.

I think Ayunga is a great prospect for the future, needs advice and playing time, could be our next big transfer. But think we need to keep him here.

A damning verdict from Barton on many of the Players. The malaise and complacency exactly mirrored my post Feb 1st when Tisdale challenged Hanlan and Oz to "play better, win the game". I hoped that Tisdale would get under their skin to make a difference but perhaps he could not command their attention as they Tweeted the day away. Look back through many games this season and you will see examples of our defenders ambling back towards our goal as the opposition mount meaningful attacks and play head tennis in our 6 yard box with minimal challenge. It really has been pathetic and tolerated for too long. What was that from Leahey v Hull - an atrocious example of defending that you will ever witness. We have become a laughing stock and Barton has my full support as he sets about instilling discipline with this bunch of "soft lads".

I think the reason for the “double standard” with JB and Tis is that the football is much better under JB. Under Tis we were playing aimless hoofball. Barton we look tons better. Tis was losing all our easy games. JB has lost 2, one of which we were never expected to get points from and one in which we were essentially the victim of a freak ref decision. Perhaps partly true. The football over the past 6 games (incl 2 for TW) is better than we’ve seen since Christmas. But tbf to Tis the football before Christmas was ok and included our best 90 minutes at Wimbledon. The CV outbreak appeared to have a bad effect on the players who caught it and on the rhythm of the club and team. Unfortunately this caused some strange formations from him in Jan and Feb and he seemed to have lost the confidence of the players. The fact that JB has his own team with him must make it easier rather than Tis on his own or with just the one of his own team. Unfortunately individual errors are still making it hard to turn decent displays into wins or draws. This week is pretty crucial to our survival. UTG!

I still think Mesure and Maher should be released... let JB and his guys have full rein. I really think they are a root cause of some players attitudes and performance issues this season. We talk of three different managers but the constant is still present in these two.
You cannot cure a wound unless the cause of the infection is treated properly.

Strangely for a game we lost 6-1i saw enough in the last game to suggest we can cause them plenty of problems going forward. Avoid the mistakes at the back and we’ll win. 3-1 Rovers.

He's lost 3, but he only had a day's training before Wigan, and were unlucky to lose that in the last minute. He's saying the right things, but lose again tomorrow and it's 4 defeats in five which is a poor start however you look at it. Come on gas, let's see another Shrewsburyesque performance!

To borrow a line from a great film:
“F—- Accrington. We bury those cack-a-roaches. What Accrington ever do for us, Huh?”

Is JB religious? Did I hear him say "I went into the garden yesterday and spoke to the Lord"?

I trust he was speaking figuratively. He was soul searching and that was the answer which came forth. Either that, or the desperate times we are in have made him vulnerable and a Baptist church have pounced on him. Many confirmed atheists have turned to God when faced with the despair of Bristol Rovers.

Jonah has the required attributes to make it at this level or higher, but his decision making and composure are questionable. These are things that can be coached into him. What he does is skill, power and a hell of a shot on him. If he can be coached to be more canny on the pitch, then he'll be a good player for us.
