Some of us support the same team and want it to be successful. That's wrong. Everyone wants us to be successful, we just disagree on how to go about it. Thinking only the people who agree with you want it to be successful, is exactly part of the problem. I don’t think only people who share my views want us to be successful. There will be plenty who will have disagreed with JB’s appointment but still back WAQ and the players week in week out. There have been managers who I’ve not liked and never wanted appointed but I still want the club to succeed. The gleeful nature and volume of posts following defeats from some on this forum make me very suspicious - I suspect they hope for more defeats to achieve their aim of seeing the latest manager sacked.

Well JB will know anything less than victory at Barrow will mean he has lost the fans. Thats a tough one as Barrow isnt an easy away game. He wanted to put faith in his tried and tested pkayers. Trouble is they are not upto match peak yet and are inconsistent. Should not have brought in Coutts as a starter Thomas played well first half against oldham and should have started today.

It wasn't mad as there were no better candidates around at the time, what's mad is how bad he's been. TW until the end of the season would have been a far better shout. He believed in the players, they clearly responded and he wouldn't have thrown in the towel with 20+ points still to play for. Even though TW made it absolutely clear he didn't want the job? Plus he lost his second game to Gillingham once the Tisdale out bounce had faded.

Thomas is a lightweight winger I doubt we conceded 4 goals due to him being dropped?

Maybe they rationalise that the best way to get us success is to have JB sacked as soon as possible. I've already said, looking back at BG's win against Sunderland, looks like it might have given him a lifeline into the close-season last year. I didn't think so at the time, but with the benefit of hindsight, I kinda wish we'd lost that game, after all. Then BG could have been gone, and a brand new manager would have been given the pre-season, and maybe everything would have been different.

The team were slow and disjointed. Coutts whilst being a good player has been awful in the games he has played so far.

He's done more than talk in his managerial career, which puts him ahead of Barton. True, we lost at Gillingham but performance wasn't a disaster. The outcome may well have been the same, who knows, but I think we would have been a lot more competitive.

Judge Barton by his players?
Guilty.

I wouldn't say I've been pro or anti Barton since he joined but given the lack of options and his experience managing in L1, I thought he might be a good appointment at the time. I was willing to overlook last seasons form as he inheritated a poor squad, low on confidence and had injuries to key players. We also had some pretty poor refereering decisions go against us. I have always said he deserved the opportunity to sign his own players, so was against firing him last season. This season however, it's his team. I've said he should get 10 league games but my patience is wearing thin after todays performance. I know it's early days but if we don't see some real improvement over the next 2 league games then I think he's got to go. I know we were sh*t but how impressive did Exeter look in the first half. If Barton goes Matt Taylor would be my first choice to replace him.

I really thought all the promotion talk at the start of the season was a bit unrealistic.... We're a club that needs to sort a lot of things both on and off the pitch, so just building some unity, playing some decent football, a mid table finish and a place to push on from would've done.... But even that's looking like its going to be a challenge now.... When Barton joined us he was talking about the championship FFS, I really think its all been a bit arrogant, and we'll end up with egg on our face.... Again....

So Grant is now right side of a back three going forward and we are going to get promoted. Another month till we are consistent.. It's coming.. Joe Barton's words.... The problem is a rodman finley grant anderson midfield with thomas linking to attack worked far better . That leaves coutts in the cold. You cant really have grant and Coutts in a midfield and expect attacking football. But grant hasnt done anything warranting being dropped. When anderson isnt fully fit gaps are huge down his side of the pitch. That wasnt addressed and Exeter had a field day. May have been better starting Harries at left back. With a 4231 formation. Would have meant grant and coutts sitting deeper. The 3 of finley rodman anderson With just collins upfront. Less running about for non matchfit players like rodman etc. Anyway its all waffle as we lost 4-1 and nothing can change that.

Here we go again, terrible first half and all the Barton out crew pipe up just as on Tues all the pro Barton posters did. I'm sick and tired of all this bickering if you didnt know better you would think we supported different teams, absolutely ridiculous Quite. Some seem to be revelling in us getting absolutely dicked by Exeter. Not sure anyone is revelling, especially if like me you actually went to the game. The defence were at least two yards off the pace, don't understand how professionals can be so unprofessional...

It will remain like this until Barton departs. As you might of already guessed, there is a fair number of us on here that don’t like the bloke very much. Hate to see the division at the club at the moment but the root cause is Barton. Completely understand that there are a number of people that dont like Barton and never wanted him in the first place and they are perfectly entitled to their opinion. What I cant stand is that virtually every thread and certainly every match day thread turns into a them and us slinging match. I dont know about others but it's certainly putting me off this forum especially the minority who seem to want Barton (and therefore the team) to fail I'm not sure it is a them vs US situation. I still think that all fans want what's best for the club. I travelled to Exeter today, paid my money to get in and the first half wasn't good enough. The second half we look good because the game was already won/lost. As a JB hater, U still maintain that he needs 10 games. He had had 4 and we have won 1. I want to see another 4 wins in the next 6. If he gets that, he stays. If he doesn't, he goes. I have been pretty consistent with this view. If he can't get us 5 wins in the first 10 games then he should walk.

I'm not having a dig at anyone, only you seem to think I am you just seem to want to make a big thing out of the Barton out crew part of my original post, if people want him sacked they're perfectly entitled to that opinion. At the end of the day we all support the same team and just want us to be successful. Some of us support the same team and want it to be successful. I think we all support Bristol Rovers and want them to be successful.
