Awful. Worst performance of the season (though I would give an exception to Leahy). The only thing worse than the players performance was Barton's body language.

That was a total lesson in how to play football by one team and how not to by the other. I think that is the worst match this season.I won't care if I never see Kilgour,Harries,Baldwin again.They are what a nightmare defence is made of- can't defend and as for clearing the ball it is a disgrace. No organisation back there and really should have been about 5-0 tonight. I won't get started on the strikers because we have just been totally outclassed tonight. Hanlan should have scored first half but thats about it really. Didn’t watch it and just came on here got the first time tonight. After spending over £400 on Rovers this season I haven’t watched the last two and feel in a much better place for it. I did buy the game on Saturday just because I wanted to support the club financially but actually forgot we were even playing tonight ! I don’t think I’ve ever done that. Good riddance to a horrible season.

Unfortunately Chief, I can't see us being in L2 for 5-10+, I can see us going down again. If Hanlan starts the season as our main striker and Harries and Baldwin and still somehow getting games at the back then we will be in big, big trouble, regardless of who we sign. It is a genuine genuine concern. We've seen other clubs get sucked into the danger zone in L2 after getting relegated from L1, it happens a lot. Tranmere a few years back, Scunthorpe, Southend. I very much see us being one of them. It's a tough league and we have a very weak team. I desperately hope I'm wrong.

Well for a start those out of contract who the management know by now will not be offered a new deal shouldn’t play again this season. I would even say don’t bother playing those on loan either. The likes of Hargreaves, Mehew should be starting.

Just listened to Barton's comments pre-match saying he wouldn't have signed a single one of our players when he was at Fleetwood.
"And that's not being disrespectful to the players here...."
Not much Joey. Disgraceful comments and guaranteed to demotivate the team.
Now THAT'S being negligent.

There’s a far greater chance of going down again than there will be of making the play offs

Well that all went jolly well tonight, to cap it all those selfish Prem teams ,with no consideration for our plight, go and ruin the new super league by pulling out and therefore destroy our last chance of avoiding relegation! As for tonight's game if you have a team of players who have proved themselves incapable of winning few football matches over 42 games and you keep selecting a variation on those same players then the odds are you will lose again and hey presto! not rocket science imho.

Because he looked as though he cared....and was caught out of position because he was trying to do 2 or 3 jobs.

How the f**k is that going to inspire them? Barton has the hump he's going down and he's taking it out on all around him. But this is OUR club Joey - you don't get to do that.

The problem I have is that the majority of these players will still be here next season so these sorts of comments will not help.

Terrifying body language from Barton for the majority of that second half too.

Honesty is fine up to a point, but too much honesty and your role will be compromised and the whole thing can fall apart. You don't have to lie either, just check yourself before you say anything dangerous. Barton simply lets words come out before he thinks about what the consequences of those words will be. He has to motivate his players, that's his job. To state to the press that he wouldn't have signed a single one of them, is basically throwing them under the bus. THAT is when honesty becomes carelessness. And that's putting it mildly.
