JB's still talking about signing players for a promotion push in his post match interview!

Yep. Been obvious since the disastrous summer recruitment And yet we were one of the top form teams prior to Christmas! How could that have happened with such disastrous summer recruitment? Hush you, with your silly facts!

Yes, he's better with a good player like Rossiter alongside but he's outperformed anyone else in our midfield unless I've missed something? Totally agree, Finley definitely hasn’t had lead boots on and has had a cracking season so far, really odd one to criticise. Finley’s looked very leggy to me the last few weeks. The usual energy & intensity isn’t there from what I’ve seen. Certainly not since Rossiter’s injury. Finley + Coutts is getting played through way too easily at this level.

And Collins and Coburn will not be here next season. Barton's recruitment has left the club with a foundation made of sand. If Collins does leave then JB will have a nice transfer kitty to completely rebuild the squad. We were probably always going to have another reset next summer as most players contracts will end/come up for renewal. And, you trust him to do that, from the proceeds of one player? There is zero evidence that he is capable of doing that...is there?

There is zero evidence that he is capable of doing that...is there? Promotion last season seems evidence enough that he can rebuild the squad, our pre Christmas form suggests he's also capable of putting together a decent L1 squad. If Thomas hadn't departed and Rossiter/Gibbons also picked up injuries then we might still be doing OK.

Do you think taking very young players on loan, or signing crocked players, is building a good squad? Really?

Quansah looks like another Clarke-Salter, neat on the ball but physically weak and naive. We need and experienced CB asap Taylor and Connolly excelled in the tier below but youth alone won't cut it at this level. It's only January and we've conceded 50 goals ffs. I'm convinced Barton views loans as a chance to perpetuate the fallacy he's well connected with the upper echelons of football, as opposed to a bog standard 3rd tier manager. Beg to differ. Aside from the last goal, I didn't see him lose the ball all afternoon. Good heading, shoved players off to come forward and won most tackles as well as pace to beat the striker late on in the game Yes, Quansah sounded ok. Because he’s young and inexperienced he must be a problem, like some think JCS was meant to be. It’s a lazy argument imo. It’s why i find it best not to post after such a bad result. Still mid table after a promotion so not all bad. Sounds as if Belshaw has been very unlucky and Balcombe has a mountain to climb now to establish himself. No idea what the reasons are but recruitment not been strong enough for a promotion challenge so a mid table position will be decent. (Though I can understand the anger of those who’ve made a long trip today.) UTG!

I would say combined player wages of Accy and Morecambe are no where near Rovers.
