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. You might be right, maybe it just feels that way and the extreme views (from both sides) are the loudest. I completely understand where your coming from but I just dont see Wael sacking another manager especially when hes allowed him to completely revamp the squad with possibly another 1 or 2 to come. Of course there's a possibility a change may be forced on us should he be found guilty come Nov/Dec but I genuinely dont see a change prior to that unless we're in danger of being cut adrift.

sh** to get stuffed but youve got to give barton the chance to turn it around and find solutions until the window ends. Once the window ends, ill give him a month and by then i expect to see a settled, competitive squad capable of a mid table finish. Lots of work to be done but a change now would be absolute madness.

Garner got given time, I believe anyway because he was given 'A project' apparently to give us some kind of 'DNA'. Tisdale and now Barton were appointments made with no thinking whatsoever behind them. Tisdale was shown the door because he was sh*t, but Barton has been considerably worse. This clown has been a divisive appointment from day one. Sack him now, cut our losses and move on.

After bringing Bond in would be a strange decision not buying that

After bringing Bond in would be a strange decision not buying that Perhaps Bond's got the quickest promotion in football history, assistant to caretaker manager before he's even joined us. Although, as you say, why would an Exeter fan know anyway.

Honestly there's just no reasoning with you is there. I said Barton out crew but also said the same thing happened with the pro Barton supporters after Tues, you conveniently ignored that part My point is you're full of it - pretending you're not trying to antagonise people and bring people together, when you're intentionally using divisive language. Sorry RD, but I know Worrelstirlingalbion irl and you couldn't be more wrong. He is probably one of the most objective and even handed people you could meet and I think his posts have consistently reflected that.

This thread should be called judge Barton by any metric you care to and you'd probably reach the same conclusion. Unless its judge Barton by the size of my erection when he talks about fighting. I judged Barton by his off field conduct. I judged him by how he handled last seasons squad. I judged his signings. I judged his start to the season. I judged your errection. It doesn't look good.

Hugo the Younger and I were in the car this afternoon and we tuned into the first 15-20 mins of the game before he asked me to turn it off.
He looked at me and said, "Dad, I miss proper Bristol Rovers like when Darrell Clarke was in charge".
Me too, son. Me too.

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... I haven't seen anyone revelling. Despairing, maybe, but virtually no-one is happy with the way things are. I said on Tuesday that the win might just kick-start our season, and I've been very pessimistic about Joey's chances of success here. Turns out it didn't kick-start anything. It got worse. It also doesn't help one single bit, in my opinion, that Barton comes out with nonsense after the match like "We'll definitely get promoted this season" and especially "We're going to be everyone's cup final this season". Not only is the latter totally untrue nowadays, but both statements put pressure on the players when they are at a low ebb. That isn't motivation. It's just delusional and unproductive.
