I think it's more of the case that the JB out campaign have been dealt with badly and personally by people (Inc yourself) that they have been accused of being sh'eds. Been numerous threads here about the divide and how they only come out after we lose. Then the JB Happy Campers start on the other side when we win, it's just a waste of time calling JB out once again. But please don't take our silence as a vote for JB. I would be happy for him to be removed before the next game. Who would I bring in, Manse that is who. But your in the minority if 5pm last Saturday at the Mem is anything to go by, when the whole ground cheered the players off. Nobody then was chanting "Barton out" nor booing him off at the final whistle. For fans demanding Barton's sacked who are they expecting Wael to appoint who's guaranteed to be any better? Paul Cook was always mentioned on here but he's also having a nightmare at Ipswich. There's nobody internally now Clint Hill's gone who look capable of stepping into the hot seat. You have a very short memory. I think after the Crawley game, everyone said 3pts is 3pts. We were second best for 70-80 minutes that game and managed to sneak a win. Everyone was cheering last week only because we had won 3 points at home. Who in their right mind would jump onto a forum after gaining 3pts to ask for the manager to be sacked? Let's say we lose at home on Saturday and people boo and chant JB out, would that be the majority then? Or is the 1000 fans that sing and chant on the Thatchers the majority as they are vocal? There is no manager that will guarantee success, it just doesn't work like that, does it? So it's not a fair question to ask. I have already said that Manse would have been a better option than JB and maybe JB saw him as a threat and got rid of him. We need a manager who played for us, who understands the dynamic between the two Bristol clubs and is prepared to motivate the players to wear their heart on their sleave. I think that is the most disappointing thing about JB. He tells us he is passionate, he tells us he doesn't like losing. However, he doesn't seem to have built the team in that mould. Where are the crunching tackles? If we are to play route 1 football, that is fine as long as there is a player alongside the big striker to run off the ball. There just seems to be a massive disconnect between what JB says and what we see on the pitch. Yesterday, he blamed an individual mistake for the loss. We'll, last season There were lots of losses that were individual mistakes, so is that not the managers fault? I think it is. I have been very careful to be consistent with my view of JB. For me 10 games and a minimum of 15pts or we get rid. We currently have 7 positions from 7 games. For his performance as manager to be acceptable this season then we have to win the next three games. Anything less than 15pts just confirms he doesn't know what he's doing.

How can JB be blamed for Saunders and Anderson failing to clear the ball between themselves, it's a bit like blaming a Tesco manager if a shop worker drops a wine bottle.
As far as Manse apart from playing for Rovers he has nothing on his CV to suggest he can manage a L2 football club, when he's not even coached at league level.

We're not talking about one or two specific incidents though. We're talking of a run over half a season where JB has shown an inability to set up a team to win games of football. And as the manager, he's responsible. Do you seriously believe Manse would do any worse than JB?

Manse has said, he does not want to be manager of a football club.

Probably not, re Saunders and Anderson, but when similar mistakes are made every week this then begs the question of where is the coaching, if they are properly coached then are the players competent at this level? If not why were they recruited? It appears all roads lead to the managers door.

Since r Joey came in nothing is the manager's fault. It's not difficult to understand is it?

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. 🤣🤣

To be fair to the original poster, we still sit in 14th position in League Two. There are promising signs, yes, but we are still nowhere near where we expected to be this season. Hopefully we will be come May.
