The JB sides of last season (2nd half) & this season so far (all be it 3 league games) are the best drilled Rover's side's I have ever seen after the GF Promotion side of 1990.
It's everything. In offence, in defence, set plays. Game management with the ball. Game management without the ball. Game management in stoppages.
Quite something to say better but better than the PT & DC Promotion x2 but it is!
Very much enjoying the the JB Era! Long made it continue!

To Axegas and anyone else. My apologies for my rant last night and myself and Axe had a chat and everything is cool. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. We are all sorted with no hard feelings.... Sun & drink is a lethal combination You have no need to apologise; fortunately we live in a democracy where freedom of speech is a right. Some support the right for a person to be innocent until proven guilty, others prefer to make up their own mind before a court hearing from behind a keyboard on social media. Generally the only real common denominator is the love and support of BRFC. No idea if that is aimed at people like me but.... for clarification: I will wait for the judicial process to be completed. I hope that JB is found not guilty for his sake, his wife’s sake and his children’s sake. (And also, though the football side of it is relatively unimportant, for BRFC and WAQ who has put his trust in JB) But please don’t conflate having a different opinion on an important issue and freedom of speech. I have seen too many results, wives and children (and in one case a husband) of domestic violence to say it’s not important. ( I know you’re not saying that.) And on several of those occasions I was certainly not hiding behind anything but dealing with the situation face to face. Whenever it happens it needs to be followed through and investigated and the correct result arrived at. I hope that happens. As ever UTG!

I've never understood why we have appointed so many managers who weren't high level players. The last one was Gerry Francis and he got us to the old league 1. Swindon had Hoddle and Ardiles and got to the top flight Martin Dobson? Holloway? Russell Osman would also fit into that category although he was just caretaker. Could mean his second stint.

Can’t believe I’m reading people say JB is a better manager for us than DC. Won about 4 games at League 1 level whilst managing us.

We look more professional on and off the pitch than we have in years recruitment seems to be better than what is use to be and as JB has said we aren't being ripped off by clubs/players anymore who want extortionate money for average players. Your hatred off the man is more embarrassing and you can't bring yourself to see what many others can.

Did you see the video from pre season on the technical analysis team? I was amazed at how much detail they go into. JB seems to cover every angle and just so pleased everything is coming together - and it all steams from the top.

joey is the best manager we have had in last 15 years tactics spot on recruitment brilliant yes dc done a good job but joey is head and shoulders above him Imo, simply because he is so passionate, so strategically astute, has a clear plan, knows how to get to the next level, Joey is the best modern day manager BRFC have had. We are lucky to have him in charge; I am simply loving the style of football and look forward to watching every match, win or lose. We will miss him when he finally leaves. I think when you look at his managerial record against Karl Robinson, won 5 drawn 2 and lost none you can see that he must be very tactically aware, as Robinson is no mug and knows how to win matches.

Our set-up behind the scenes has improved immensley since JB came, and that is feeding through to what happens on the pitch now. DC will always be a Rovers legend in my eyes.

Yeah totally agree with all that , things definitely look on the up but he’ll need to get us promoted to the championship to become a leg end . I wouldn’t bet against it .

Good early signs but ultimately he’s achieved bugger all so far. But I stress …. Good early signs . Depends on the benchmark being set. DC and GF both had us a division higher than when they took over. JB has done a great job this calendar year and possibly has the better quality, possibly with the Ollie reign being the best I've seen, closely followed by David Williams' tenure (Malcolm Allison's period was too short to really be comparable but was great for the few games he was here). With team spirit increasing towards the level of the GF and DC eras and quality matching Ollie's squad, he's in with a shout but needs to deliver this over a longer period.

At the same time, Barton pushing us on to potential great things doesn’t revoke DC’s legend status by any stretch. I guess some may find it hard to swallow when JB finally manages to surpass DC’s Rovers achievements👀😁
