You know how it works. Win a few and he’s the almighty himself. Lose a few and he’s a deadbeat. Football really is that fickle. Get us into the top 6 rapidly, and you’ll find the “he’s an awful man etc” will be a very isolated and small group. It really is that simple. As with any workplace, all that matters is merit and results. Got to be honest I think Rovers fans are more fickle than other teams fans these days, I really hqve to try hard to stop myself commenting on some posts these days, what you say is exactly right I think we obviously have a middle ground of fickle fans who sway with the recent results like any club, but JB brings more than that to the table. The idea that the only argument against JB is a few recent results is bizarre, and I suspect you're being wilfully ignorant. Talking of stopping yourself commenting, did you ever come up with an answer to my question last week, when you said we shouldn't call for JB's sacking coz we should always back Rovers managers, and I asked you why you had called for BG and PT to be sacked. Did you think of an answer or were you just trying hard to stop yourself commenting? Kinda ironic that you're accusing others of fickleness.

I missed that, I was not ignoring you I just didn't see it, I'm not perfect and I do miss a few things on here because believe it or not I have a life away from Gaschat. JB said from the start that its going to be a slow start and maybe even Christmas before the team gels, a win tonight and things will look alot better, BG signed some sh**e and I could never see it getting any better, he had no passion I used to watch his reactions on the side line he was like others have said a PE teacher and no fight, PT I thought he wasn't interested in the job from the start, I did support them both but I don't think they were that interested in us.

I voted he should go after the Swindon game and I wanted him gone last season.. However recent results Swindon excepted have been better so maybe he’s earned a chance to prove me wrong.

Get him gone FFS!
4 wins in 14 games in the bottom division and 8 wins from 34 games in total.
Abysmal.

Improvements of late but that’s from a sh** base. We’re not good enough. Won’t ever be on Barton.
Time to go.
Will he? Doubt it very much.

He's got to go.
His ego and narcissism won't see him walk, I suspect.
So Wael, do the honourable thing and pull the plug.
PLEASE.

1 defeat in 4 games...must be time for a sack the manager thread... Miracle to get anything out of the Bradford game. We didn’t deserve anything from it. We chucked away a win against Colchester with some criminal game management Carlisle were poor. Those three results paper over the cracks How much longer must we keep getting dicked at home? No thanks.

Here's the current position of teams we've played and the results. Clearly haven't done much against top half teams, and played more lower teams than top ones.
1- 2- 3- 4-L 5- 6-L 7-L 8- 9-L 10- 11-D 12-L 13-D 14-W 15- 16-W 17- 18--- 19-D 20-L 21-W 22-W 23-L 24-

Why don't the board get rid of Barton now , he is going to go eventually so what is the point of carrying on with him Continously plays with three at the back, which doesn't work and only one central midfielder , so we are often outplayed in the midfield.

Someone made a good point before that we don’t hear from anyone on the board since his appointment - with the suggestion that Starnes & Co aren’t in favour of his position. Perhaps the board want him out but Wael is enthralled still and thus Barton is currently immovable.
