That should give some of the terminally dull who secretly enjoy us losing while Joey Barton is manager, great solace. For the rest of us, we'll not expect much out of Tuesday, but will enjoy the win next Saturday. UTFG and happy birthday baggins old fruit. 👍🏴☠️🍺 Yep. Pretty happy with how it's going. Just need a few more losses and hopefully we will be done with him. No secrets from me good sir. Appreciate your honesty. That's not a popular opinion, but at least you don't duck (see what I did there?) out.

What a great role model and representative of our football club. I'm still none the wiser as I couldn't hear what was said!

Has Barton effectively ended another young player's Rovers career by throwing a massive strop on live radio? Quick pit stop on the way home but I missed this, who did he talk about? Personally I thought we were better with ten men. Loft was having a shocker before he got sent off. Both keepers pulled off some decent saves. Happy that we didn’t spend all game passing it backwards and sideways ineffectively. I think Connollys having a poor season, takes too many touches, plays gordon into trouble a lot and seems to struggle to turn and sort his feet out. Also very noticeable how our left hand side gets bombarded every game. Having said that we stood up to the test for the majority of the game. It looked a foul in the box for their goal and (I need to watch it again) but maybe McCormack could have done better at the back post. Possibly a foul in the box on collins too late on.

Happy with 5 losses on the bounce? I remember a time when we had to play Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby in straight games and we only lost once. What happened to those days? No not happy, but what can I do to cheer myself up? any ideas. I find that copious amounts of alcohol numbs the pain.

Barton can be heard swearing at Lincoln players. It's quite quiet as it's in the background

They are coming out of the woodwork like droves now Happy with 5 losses on the bounce? I remember a time when we had to play Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby in straight games and we only lost once. What happened to those days? Rossiter played in those games and was fantastic. He won man of the match in the sheff weds game on Sky if I remember right too ? I’m not saying we’re a one man team but you’ve got to have players in that midfield that are good enough and in form. Last season we had coutts and Finley there post Christmas along with Evans in a more advanced role who were good enough for league 2 and in form. Rossiter aside and Finley in the odd game here and there this season none of our midfielders have looked up to the standard of league 1 football unfortunately. I can understand why he dropped Coutts today as he’s been poor lately and also apparently was ill last night but I think it was a massive mistake to play a midfield of just 3 of Mc C , Evans and Ward today as two of those have been out of form and the other has only just arrived. Who goes with a three striker formation away from home after four straight defeats ? He could have gone with a back four then a midfield of 5 with Sinclair on the right looking to wip in crosses , Collins on the left looking to cut inside and run at them etc it would have been much more solid and given us a base to start from and maybe even a clean sheet to build from. Bogarde looks a decent young defensive midfielder who could have sat deeper in that 5 to give us balance. I looked at the team sheet today and honestly couldn’t see us getting anything from that game and I’m starting to think Barton has lost the plot tactically. Last season I was pulling my hair out for the first few months it was pretty obvious that the players we had suited a 4231 formation and it took him forever to find it, ok he got there and goes down as a hero fair enough at least he worked it out. So far this season it’s chop and change again without any kind of consistency or real identity regarding our style and that combined with slating the players in the media and dropping our keeper for a loan has really seemed to upset the Apple cart. If he goes with three strikers Ipswich I can see us getting smashed to pieces the way they play- quick counter through ball passing. Time to go back to basics JB.

So now it’s both places that you don’t like. Can you see the common denominator That's harsh and not really relevant to DrF's point above. He is correct, some have actually stated they wanted us to lose if it led to JB's departure.I'm gonna call this out. Who wants us to lose to try and get rid of JB? I'm not a fan of JB the person, but would never want us to lose. Who would say that. I need evidence.

I'm happy to leave again Dave and not come back until he's gone if that's acceptable? In fact, that's what I'll do. Take care everyone. I will return....
