Sounds to me Bartons a bit of a pussy, he is the manager and he tells the players to get ready for game time. Whats going on with this so called saviour manager, maybe a job in Sainsburys would suit better. UTG I wouldn't have used your words but I don't think the players are 100% to blame unless they refuse to warm up when told which isn't what's being said.

Sounds to me like he’s starting to get in his excuses now he’s assessed the squad.
He’s no magician, he can’t get the players ready, and those that aren’t ready aren’t good enough anyway......

The last magician we had just seamed to disappear.

I agree with you,the positivity in those early interviews seem an age ago.He is now saying the same as Mr Tisdale in that infamous post Oxford rant.I do wonder if the super cool PT new exactly what the outcome of that interview would be?.

He is the only hope we have to stay up ... the problem we have is the 'Ugly Sisters' Backroom staff who have somehow managed to stay at the Club ...THEY are the root cause of a lot of the standards issues.

I thought his post match analysis was worrying. He seemed to be saying that he was struggling to find a solution. And the BP interview was no different. What did he mean by saying that none of the subs were ready to come on? Surely the substitution is more exact with one player or two being told to get ready asap. He makes it seem as if it’s a race with the first one ready, getting on. And then we have that old chestnut about players’ decision making being poor. It’s league one Joey or have you not worked that out yet. It’s probably why Coughlan was successful. Keep it simple, play it forward and take your chances when they arrive.

Ozzy featured in the DS again today and might be needed if Sammy is injured. Does not seem to be in JB's thinking at the moment ...might be post-covid issues or the perhaps does not suit the press style he seems to want. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lucas Tomlinson on the bench for Saturday.

Sounds like he's changing his mind after all the praise he was giving them when he first joined. Not much he can do as there not exactly a queue of players pushing for a start in the first team.

There is a lack of like for like replacements which i think JAB is finding frustrating.
As for the subs and overall lethargy he realises he cant just tell players shape up now or you are not part of this team anymore because of the limited squad.
All going well the team will avoid relegation in April. JAB already knows who is leaving the building this summer unless they persuade him otherwise.
I would advise him to print out sheets of paper with contact numbers for all the national league clubs . Then tell the squad , players who dont shape up will be needing these numbers in the summer. Those who shape up can give me the list back in May

We’re in a relegation fight. It would be great if there were players on the bench in Barton’s ear saying they are ready to come on and make a difference, especially when those on the pitch are so obviously knackered. I can well understand his frustration if they aren’t ready to come on.

You know one thing I find interesting/worrying is when Joey says he’s surprised how positive the dressing room is and the foot spirits they’re in. He paints that as a positive.. and it is, but I can’t help but feel with this group it’s a negative. Am I being too harsh? You mean he expected to come into a team watered off at being sh**e, but our team is content to be this bad? Yeah kinda. I expect their heads to drop at being sh**e and under performing. But they seem to be in great spirits? Maybe I’m over analysing it tbf

I think JB has finally realised how poor this squad is with a couple of exceptions. The team is incapable of sustaining a winning run and is characterised by the occassional good win followed by games of abject mediocrity.

The team is incapable of sustaining a winning run and is characterised by the occassional good win followed by games of abject mediocrity. 'Abject Mediocrity' sums it all up.Very poor on the pitch since day one at Ipswich when we were being outplayed and playing Tippy Tappy in our own box. Very poor off it with no ground improvements other than two more tents in 20 years.The new training complex is the only ray of light in our very sad club. Difficult today when my GP asked me which team I supported.We currently don't have a lot to be proud of.

He was speaking from personal experience.
He’s not the most popular player amongst the Boro faithful, but did you know it was a Boro fan that ruined Joey Barton’s debut? The scouse footballer, currently in limbo after falling out of favour at Rangers, hit out at a number of familiar targets in his controversial autobiography, recently published.
It’s been well documented that the midfielder was unhappy with Boro last season - poking fun at the club after his then employers Burnley pipped the Teessiders to the Championship title.
But in the autobiography No Nonsense, Barton tells of his first run in with the club - and how a Boro fan nicking his shirt cost him his first professional appearance.
During Boro’s 3-1 win over Manchester City in 2002, Kevin Keegan was due to give youth teamer Barton his debut from the bench.
Recounting the tale, Barton wrote: “ Middlesbrough established a two goal lead early in the second half. Ugo Ehiogu and Alen Boksic converting crosses from Geremi, after Nico Anelka had pulled one back. That was Keegan’s trigger to turn towards me, and utter the words I had longed to hear: ‘Warm up Joe - you’re going on.’
“I was about to discover that this feel-good film was a disaster movie.
“I leaned down, found my pads, but scraped my fingertips on cold concrete when I reached for my shirt. I began to panic.
“Where is it? How can it have disappeared? How can something like this be happening on my debut? I shot a glance at the crowd beside the dugout and felt bile rise to the back of my throat as intuition kicked in. One of those had reached over and stolen it at half time. He had done me in cold blood.
“I scanned blank faces, started to act my age, and begged: ‘Give us me shirt back. Please, I promise you can have it back at the end of the game.’”
As there wasn’t a spare, and players had to wear their pre-assigned squad number, Keegan opted to bring on Ali Benarbia and Barton didn’t make a squad for the next five months.
He eventually made his debut, and went on to play 130 games for City before moving on to Newcastle United, QPR, Marseille and Burnley.

Doesn't make sense.. how can you be a sub and not be ready to come on, even if it is the last minute? Well it is a real pain when you're having a crafty last fag of the afternoon and the boss calls you back to the office.

Well, I've got some good news, you've only got two months to live.

It’s a very difficult thing for Barton to explain so pegging it onto standards and readiness, preparation is about as far as he can go publicly
He needs to keep the team bouyant, positive , motivated
And clearly every fibre of his being wants to scream the things we all know
They are too inexperienced and the team is generally too green and defensively poor and more than likely not good enough overall
They are just about good enough going forward, can score goals here and there, even ride a bit of luck and gain a 2-0 lead
but how much longer will it be before before the front men really start to detest the back men
This job will be enough to test a saint , let’s hope St Joseph has enough patience to see these 11 games out , remember the potential of this club and ride the storm cos I think he’s ready to rip it up right now . Last night was a massive kick in the teeth , absolutely massive
