Barton has assembled a very mediocre squad of cast-offs and players well past their sell-by date. We would have been better advised to take a punt on promising Conference players. There is a reason this team isn't gelling, they aren't very good. Let's not kid ourselves we have a squad worthy of promotion, we are poor in most areas. Every goal scored is a surprise as we are as sharp as scissors trying to cut through rock. Fans who thought the win over Crawley was the start of a turnaround are delusional. It was a dire performance; we were very lucky and Belly had a blinder. If that is as good as it gets we will lose many more games than we win. Barton has made some crazy statements, not least the promotion promise. I remember him saying after a rare win last season that we would stay up; that didn't quite work out did it? His football management career is on borrowed time and so are we with the rubbish he has acquired. Garbage out, but garbage in unfortunately.

I think the fact we were better off keeping last seasons squad is alarming.

We were quite capable today. We started the game very well. What concerns me is how the performance levels dropped as the game went on, and the lack of urgency after they scored. I expected more from players under Barton tbh. It was the same against Barrow.

First of all every damn time I click on bloody gas works it jumps up a bit and I end up clicking on f.....g prediction league instead and that puts me in such a bad mood and makes me want to chuck my phone away arrrggghhhhhhhhh π
What is annoying not quite as much as my first statement but annoying is if we would have won today most would have been saying we are going up but because we lost we are sh**e and the club is crap, honestly our fans are so fickle I have never known other fans as bad as ours.
I'm personally giving Barton 10 games, that's what he said and I'm going along with that, I am as gutted as the next person we lost today from yet another defensive mistake I really am but got to give him the 10 games and see where we are then. If we would have drawn today people would have been happy with that.

Walsall could be the first away win. Swindon will be doing a Garner special from now on ...from 4th spot and plummet like a stone. UTG !

The reality is that the current team is showing many of the characteristics of last year's version. We score rarely. We keep few clean sheets. We are dangerously positioned towards the bottom of the table. Question marks about fitness and attitude. I could go on.
One major difference is we are now playing poorer league opposition.
Our decline since that heady win at Ipswich has been calamitoue.

What league two team isn't assembled from cast offs, Cheltenham got promoted with the likes of Sercombe?
Not really sure why Wael/Starnes sanctioned Whelan's signing when JB had so many other oldies but he's the only old player signing you would really question.
We seem to have the same issues as last season, once injury prone Nicholson is out we've no creative flair in the side, nor any strikers capable of creating chances themselves.
