Can't help but love JB'S positivity, hands up who laughed when he said we would get promoted post last season's Exeter debacle? those who mock him do so at their peril!

Why does that make him a bellend? It’s not like he’s said “we’re going to get automatic promotion by the end of next week” or anything similarly outlandish, is it? Just reiterating his belief that we will get to the Championship with him at the helm. I’d much rather have a manager who is positive and forward-looking than someone like Dave Penney, for instance. |

Imagine the Championship in our embarrassing sh** pit of a stadium 😢 And then in Premier League the year after. Can't wait for some plastic fans to visit a proper open air terrace ! Seriously, at what point would we have to improve facilities to be allowed to play at home at that level ? We are going up, we are going up ! |

Seriously, at what point would we have to improve facilities to be allowed to play at home at that level ? We are going up, we are going up ! Usually three years with an extension being possible if we are 'in build'. Mind you, likely we'll be back down in that time anyway. |

Bellend indeed. I couldn't believe this statement "I think somebody pointed out if we have one or two of our starters, our key components, out, the people who are coming in to do the job behind them at this moment in time aren't capable of doing it at the level of Boreham Wood, never mind Bolton Wanderers, and we need to get them up to speed. "If they can't get up to speed they'll leave and we'll bring in new people who can do the job." You what?? Who recruited those players then? You know what Barton, just shut the fu*k up and concentrate on coaching the team. |

Imagine the Championship in our embarrassing sh** pit of a stadium 😢 We managed it at Twerton (though admittedly the quality of other grounds to compare us with has since raced ahead). Back then, it wasn’t a place many teams fancied coming and we beat some big names. I think the Mem would provide a similar advantage. |

Haha he’s riled a few haters again 😂👍 Not worthy of being riled. His utterances are an embarrassment to the club. If he just let's the football do the talking he would be fine. |

If he just let's the football do the talking he would be fine. 7 points off playoffs, in the first Season after promotion, not even Christmas, football doing all the talking as far as I'm concerned. |

If you followed the football a little more closely instead of popping up with snidey comments at any and every opportunity you would understand that not all players at Bristol Rovers were recruited by Joey Barton. But don't let the facts get in your way. |

I thought I'd read the article before responding. Totally sensible article, no specific deadlines just our manager being sincere. What would people prefer, "I aim to mosey along with no ambition - - -" The only bellends are the haters on here who must struggle to sleep every night JB is in charge. Let's hope they are insomniacs for a few more seasons!

Nothing wrong with the Championship comments at all. Hope he is right.
I always dont like the comments he makes having digs directly or indirectly at players, but used to that now. He wont change.
I just hope he's done his job and has them up for this and maybe after 3 months has worked on our set piece defending a bit!
January needs a couple of new additions and a couple of underperforming squad players to step up. At the moment, as soon as we have 2 or 3 first teamers missing, we really struggle

But don't let the facts get in your way. I do get your view. I decided a while back, to not comment on anything but the football. My response was to Barton's words in the article quoted. On a more positive note I sat next to Josh Coburn's mother at the Fleetwood game. Lovely lady and very proud mother. We didn't talk about the detail but she seemed very happy that he was at Rovers. We joked about son's and their lack of domesticity . |
