No more boring than people waxing lyrical about us reaching the heady heights of 14th. 14th with 1, 2, 3 games in hand. Better than 24th. So as long as we’re not last in L2, we are successful?

Season not over yet, not that I think we'll hit playoffs, but more than happy to take top half finish this Season. Sure, but saying things could be worse - we could be last suggests it tbf mate. It ain’t over yet, but absolute minimum I expected from this season is top 10. Anything less is a failure IMO

Comparing JB with Buckle is crazy Joey has been there and done it Buckle was a complete Knobhead! UTG I’m sorry but that I have to laugh at!! You’re right, Buckle was a complete... I quite liked the message in a way, accepting that JB might as well put his programme notes out to a wider audience. But over the last few months I’ve stayed out of the Barton out/ Barton in argument and tried to restrict myself to supporting BRFC and the team. I don’t have to like the manager, I just want them to win, I want them to move up the table and I will always go to watch and comment about how they are playing. I just want a competent manager. I’m glad TG is CEO and can begin to see a far more active connection with fans and better communication. Carry on the good work Tom! (and that may include his ideas to spread the positivity.) And I have enjoyed watching us this season far more than at any other time over the past two years. A team that never gives up, it’s really a great spirit. But, to balance all this up: we’ve probably had our best part of the season over the past few months and have moved from lower mid-table to 14th! Loads of positives, goalkeeping very strong, pace in the team, trickery and width. All things we’ve lacked for a few years before. But we were told this time last year that we needed a striker. We got Clark and Pitman in the summer. Then we got Loft. But then we got rid of Pitman and found that Loft and Clark are injured! So we find ourselves back in the position we were at in the Summer, no available strikers. I don’t know whose fault that was but on Tuesday night with balls going into Oldhams box in the last 10 minutes we had no one to finish them off. Unlucky, bad play, poor players, I don’t know you decide. If it was Tis, he’d be accused of negligence!!😉 I don’t want to open up another thread about the manager but in the way we want to support him, the club, the players we need to be honest and that includes mentioning the fact that in the last three matches the opposing keepers have had little to do, we haven’t challenged them at all and until we do all the positivity in the world won’t change us from a mid-table League 2 club. UTG! ps. Win against Sutton and Stevenage and I’ll be thinking well.... maybe. 😉 It’s all about results ain’t it?

Anything less is a failure IMO I remember the Conference. Staying up is good enough for me. Top 10? Reckon we could do that.

Anything less than promotion is failure with all things considered. Like? Budget-we are a big hitter Training facilities-CEO says that some of the set up we have is premier league level and he’d be surprised if other league two sides have the same Staff-the manager has been afforded the luxury of removing anyone he doesn’t want and bringing all his own men in, not something that all managers have been allowed to do. Technology-how many other league 2 sides have access to instant replays in the dugout so they can watch back the game and tweet tactics according to it. Playing surface- we play on the best surface in the division 23 times a year, this should be an advantage for us All this stuff considered I feel that we should be more than capable of getting promoted from a very poor 4th division.

Might be better if JB tweaked tactics!

Personally I am SO happy that we are 14th with up to 3 games in hand! The fact that we have up to 3 games in hand, and if we do the unlikely task and win them all we will still be outside the play offs is crazy to me! Thank you sir Joey Barton for the fantastic job you have done this season! What's especially amazing is how we have only beat 1 of the current top 10 and you can't blame Joey for that at all. Wtf so disgusting that referees are against us because we have Joey in charge!!

Budget doesn't always bring points. Training facilities are a nice thing to have, bringing in your own team to support you is a nice luxury but will take a while to settle in, and having the ability to tweet tactics? Seriously. None of that really guarantees promotion. If that were the case the Prem title would be shared amongst 10 teams.

Your point about the prem is futile because all the teams have these facilities. Not everyone in our division does, it should equate to a leg up for us and an advantage otherwise why are we paying for it all? I don’t think expecting a promotion from a very poor league two is unreasonable tbh.

From the same culprits ! Yawn 🥱💙UTG No more boring than people waxing lyrical about us reaching the heady heights of 14th. Well, I personally have never ‘waxed lyrical’ on our league position, or the prospect of possible promotion. just, personally don’t find it necessary to have a pot shot ‘ at everything JB says or does . 💙UTG

Sometimes it's your Season, sometimes it's not.

Sometimes it's your Season, sometimes it's not. Again though, it’s a level playing field because they all have it. Teams at this level don’t have it and us having it should be giving us an advantage over others. That’s why the owner has paid for it.
