I think part of the problem is Joey’s critics say he’s a big mouth, he doesn’t put his brain in gear before talking, he says stupid things, you can’t believe a word he says ……..
…… and then go on to hold him to everything he says. 🤦♂️

Rather, he still has to answer the case about domestic abuse - and if found guilty has to go- and the results have been average at best. I hope things improve, but I'm not holding my breath. Onwards and upwards

This won't go down with everyone however I will say this..... JB may not not be everyone's cup of tea. We have had a sh** start in our 21/22 campaign. Recently' despite a a few errors we have started to look like a decent side' iron out those issues possibly with a few decent signings and better discipline then I feel than although promotion maybe a miss this year' then I feel with the nucleaus of a good team and extra strengthening we could be serious contenders next season. Most hate JB, everyone is entitled to their opinion but if we are honest JB seems to be slowly getting things right (apart from discipline) If this is the case then surely he deserves to see this season out!? Can we not all join forces and do our bit for the team despite your political view of JB, when summer comes then bring that question back. Rovers need us strong right now'does that not extend to JB for just 4 more Months? "Think about it please" Some people have a very low bar. I do not 'hate' JB, I just feel he is nowhere near proving that he is a good manger. Since he joined us he has added a relegation to his CV and taken us to the bottom half of League 2. I keep reading things like '....JB seems to be slowly getting thing right....' but the FACT is that we have won once in the last 5 league games - seems more like relegation form to me. I will always support the Gas 100% at matches whoever is the manager - I do not support JB, I support Bristol Rovers.

Think we all know Barton was trying to boost the squads confidence, or his own ego!! Think a lot depend on how we finish the season. If we finish strongly and just miss out on promotion, then we will at least be building for next season. If we carry on being inconsistent, then it's not been good enough. At some stage, we need to stick with a manager though. As it can take a few years to build a decent side, unless you get lucky. Everytime we change managers, a new manager wants their own players. So we have to try and move players on, before replacing them. Here’s another crazy thought, maybe don’t let every new manager smash the club to pieces. I seem to remember that we got promoted with Trolls keeping the nucleus of the club whilst adding a few solid additions That team last year was utter sh**e, Me personally am glad he got rid

I’m just saying you don’t have to let every new manager completely reshape the whole club

why are we writing this year off?
i dont know about anyone else but i have been really surprised at how poor the quality of football is in divison 4 - sorry i am too old to call it anything else.
We have been so poor at times that we probably deserve to be well adrift but we are not and that shows that the quality of this League really is - maybe that is telling us something.
Some of our players are too good to be playing at this level and its a matter of now playing to our strengths and winning most of the games. i still think that we will go up

But what does that say about us that we are 18th in a division with a lot of dross in it?

So we have to try and move players on, before replacing them. I like you and usually enjoy a debate with you but posts like this are to be described stupid at best. Boost the squads and his own confidence in private. Coming out with "I PROMISE I will get Rovers promoted this year" not only sets the bar at a level where we clearly do not have the quality but it invites other managers to use it as motiviation against us. Carry on being inconsistent? We are consistently bad!! Joey Barton has been in charge of 46 matches for us all in. A whole season, with a 1.02 PPG. He has used 53 players. League 2 he has managed 21, W5, D7, L9. League 1 he has managed 18, W3, D2, L13. When considering league form, he has managed 39, W8, D9, L21. 33 points from 39 games. If ANY manager in ANY league for ANY club has THAT form they are correctly fired. Not that it makes a massive difference,but you’ve got the wins and draws this season the wrong way round (W7,D5) so total points would be 37 not 33 if your statistics are correct from last season (can’t be arsed to check).

My bad. Switching from tab to tab on mobile gets me lost. Double checked and last seasons are correct. 37 is still awful

Totally agree!

Barton hasn't dropped a point over the Xmas period. A definite improvement. He's got a 100% record, long time since one of those

A little run in this league can shoot you from mid table to auto promotion chasers very quickly. Just look at Mansfield, hardly won a game after the first 2 wins this season, but have flew up the table recently

A little run in this league can shoot you from mid table to auto promotion chasers very quickly. Just look at Mansfield, hardly won a game for about 2 months but have flew up the table recently For the last 10? games or so I think we've looked pretty decent, entertained me for the first time in more than a few seasons, and the results are slowly but surely coming in.

Yeah thats the way I see it. I said id see how we were come November before judging Barton; I have to admit I was a bit worried during October as we still looked poor, but shoots of improvement are definitely there now
