Right decision regarding Westbrooke and Rodman. The Clarke situation does seem odd. I'm speculating but I wonder if the rumours that Charlton are in for Clarke has caused a bit of tension between the two? Either way, we were and most certain are now short at the back which is a worry I’m not very knowledgeable on this, but I presume we still have to pay him for 2 years if no one signs him?? Correct

Rossiter is injured. Of course. Could be too early for Finley too! Expect Lawerence and Jones to start. Rossiter Great signing that...lose a key midfielder in E Anderson, know that Coutts will be suspended for the start of the season, know that Whelan is going to retire. Solution? Sign a player not fit to play. Genius...surely...🤭🤭🤭

It is incompetent to spend someone else's money on a two year contract in June 2022 for a player who, at the announcement of the signing is praised to high heaven, then sack him in August after one game. But leave the shareholders to foot the contract cost...with absolutely zero benefit. If that is not a prime example of incompetence, what is? How do you know it’s incompetence - unless of course you know the facts and you can enlighten us all. I’m sure the primary shareholder knows the facts and is in agreement. Have you ever asked shareholders for additional funds, told them your reasoning and they buy into your reasoning? Only for you to turn around 6 weeks later and tell them you were wrong and unfortunately their funds have been p*ssed up against the wall. I don't know about you, but I can just imagine the response. Calling it incompetent is actually quite polite.🤭

Are you seriously suggesting a player has his career evaluated on the basis of one game? Christ, on that basis Jason Roberts would have been sacked almost immediately. Let's not just continuously deflect from the point. Barton's judgement is highly questionable. This farce is just one more example.

Gives Clarke a new contract, then bizarrely throws him under the bus and now has to get rid just so he doesn’t look stupid. Christ Only a couple of months ago Joey got the club promoted; he probably knows more about what to do than you. "Christ"

That's another question.

Awarding a player an extended contract in June, telling him he won't be picked again and to find another club, six weeks later. Farce.

Don't forget Whelan could start. If we throw Saunders on from the start then we lose any kind of impact sub we might need to make later on. Saunders has to play, his pace is a constant threat and looks really sharpe after a decent preseason. Could be his year! As any league 1 lump of a cb will tell you, they’d love to see him on the bench.

No one us privy to what goes on a training pitch. The behaviour of a player. Its all assumption. You base your negativity on the manager for anything to do with the club. The bizarre one is you and maybe time for you to go out to pasture

Could be anything going on the background
Could be attitude problem, turning up late for training been caught doing something he shouldn't.
JB not treating him well.
Possibly Clarke being told by JB that he's looking to recruit a new 1st choice left back and it's not gone down well.
Who knows, but surprised Kilgour is still here

Don't you dare say anything about keeping Rossiter on the pitch on Sat after previously JB slagged the previous managers for fitness of players. And do not state that JB's record in L1 with BRFC is not good! The fact you were only talking about Clarke and the bizzare situation, given we don't know the details, some just see you questioning JB, NOT ALLOWED.

Like any other gashead we all are willing the team on regardless of the manager. Regardless of Barton's behaviour I want him to succeed. But he keeps giving reasons to doubt. I doubt the squad he has put together to start this season, but of course I do not know the constraints he has to work under, both internally and externally. And, of course, there is another three weeks to sort out, plug the holes, in the squad.

The Clarke situation is a strange one, however, I don't think anybody knows enoughs of what may have gone behind closed doors to label it as a farce.

Pretty sure Joey would have blurted out any reason (attitude, charlton, whatever) if there was anything other than he’s done a 360 in a few weeks and was too hotheaded to wait to get a replacement in. Still think we’ll be in a good squad place come sept 1st but like others have said, I find his methods at times baffling and a bit embarrassing

Exactly - like I said elsewhere, none of the people commenting on the contract situation have any idea how that contract is structured, unless they happen to be either TC or his agent. I do feel for the bloke having to find another club, but that is something that happens frequently these days, unfortunately. So let’s just see what happens next . . .
