Have you suddenly had enough Percy ? Or have you been in the Barton camp out a while ? Genuine question it’s just that we seem to agree on most things and I’m starting to really go off him myself after his post match comments yesterday particularly about him wanting the season to end now. |

Lets not get silly,Yes last season was exciting but in his own words he got lucky with Elliot Anderson and he was the reason we went up.This season we have had an unbalanced squad from day 1,a lack of central defenders and experience in those positions has cost us dearly. Then we had the gk fiasco when he signed a rookie keeper to replace Belshaw who is nowhere near div 1 standard.Add to that the jan transfer window fiasco and you could almost call him neglegent.UTG Repeating the "got lucky" line just highlights you as a Barton hater. |

I would'nt say hater,I just don't rate him as a manager.I could'nt give a toss what he is as a person if he does a good job as manager.Tell me if we go down would you expect or want him to stay.

Really quite surprised at how many fans want him to go . I get the fans who just don’t like him for his past misdemeanours but on results alone ? We got promoted and have held our own in a much tougher league . Excellent at times , water poor at others but pretty much what I’d expect in the first season .
Wanting the season to end ? Well , yeah I do . We’re not going up , very doubtful we’re going down. We can’t change any players until the season ends. I’m guessing he’s now got a good idea of which positions he thinks need changing but we’ve just gotta tread water until he can start executing his plan. I’d think he’s eager to get on with the job so I fully understand his comment. Doesn’t mean he just wants to give up on this season , just he’s looking forward.
Think next season is really when we can truly judge him and if he’s got what’s needed to build a promotion side. Let’s be under no illusions, it’ll be a tough job in this division with a middling budget.

The thread is about where we need to improve next season in L1, not what we need to do if we somehow manage to get relegated. If you want to discuss that then why not just start a new thread? |

He has cost us quite a few points and that Exeter game where he made numerous bad decisions probably swung it. Belshaw at best is a mid table 4th Division keeper no more no less. Why do you think Harragate got rid ? |

I’ve never been a lover or hater. He starts with a long list of negatives for me, so needs to be doing a lot right to cancel those out. Obviously last year he did. |

Improvements right now? Up front, without a shadow of a doubt.
Try something different, Sincs off of Marquis in a two. Front pairing of Big John & Bigger Lofty perhaps. Any combination that sees Azza & Coburn take a seat on the bench next game.
Passengers again yesterday for 90% of the match.

Because he is a very poor manager IMHO. Even though he provided us with one of the most entertaining Seasons, certainly the best final game I've ever seen, and got us promoted? So I assume you rated Garner, Tisdale? Ah the old Garner and Tisdale shout. Completely irrelevant to anything happens in the future as both in the past. |
