don't you ever give up, bloody boring me to death 👍💙 Gasify he doesn’t have the ability, I often wonder how blokes let him get on in life. Two strikers needed, I’d be trying to offload Marquis in January, might even get a small fee. Unnecessary personal attack? You have a view and it’s valid to share and represent your opinions in a constructive way but no need to attack the person… second line perfectly valid to share… |

You are now feeding into him! I'm not trolling you at all I'm just fed up with you slating our team all the time, and your lauguage towards the last manager has been terrible and it's hard to ignore especially when youg uns come on here like my son, a few hours go by and you apologise then do the same thing again. |

You don't *have* to listen. Just block him. Your comment adds nothing to this thread. Gasify - get the point but personally I don’t see what need there was for Roadman to make his comment in the first place as we all know his views and to me it was just a point scoring comment to be antagonistic…. We all know that there were those who were strong advocates of Barton as a manager and what he achieved, those who were in the middle and those with a complete opposite view - and I say Barton as manager as I’m purposely separating out his personal life stuff from him being a manager as I think you can differentiate between the 2 and have different views. He is no longer with us and we have an interim management team in place and they’ll decide (or the new manager) on what we have, need and will change … bringing up what Barton did or didn’t do when he was manager is pointless and adds no value and just creates unnecessary division. Saying to just block or not read isn’t the answer as the unnecessary comment in the first place is the cause. I like reading Roadmans different views as normally they add value and a different perspective even if I don’t always agree with them and I do think it’s important that we have alternative views so people can widen their perspectives but lately it’s almost a constant obsession and continuous hammering of Barton, the club and over promotion of Oxford who are being successful this season after many inconsistent years on and off the pitch (according to my Oxford Utd season ticket holding mate who’s been supporting them for 30 plus years)… it’s on every thread pretty much and just constantly derails the thread(s) unnecessarily in my opinion… Keep posting and sharing views Roadman but maybe just tone it down or reign it back a bit - just like the criticism put forward to those who over promoted Barton and his ‘successes’ and capabilities as manager ….. Just my view… And i believe it's a view shared by many of us on here, very well put sir. |

We’ve all seen plenty of recent Rovers teams/squads who would have zero chance of getting 4 wins and a draw under Mangs temporary reign.Like many have said,take the result,move on and see what the future holds. Reminds me of when a certain Newport manager took over and grounded out results Let’s be careful what we wish for and not make the same mistake twice. Onwards and upwards |

I am not slating our team all the time, I have a ST, I was at Reading supporting the team and I’ve publicly said Mangs is the best man for the job now. I am not apologising for nothing, Bideford said we need strikers and I agree, we need two but he like you was a supporter of Barton and I’ve just made it clear we are in this position because of him and Jennings. To bring your son into this and put it at more door is quite frankly disturbing and unwarranted, we’ve had posters call Barton c bomb! If you are worried about your son, I suggest you have a family meeting, I never swear on here while others do but you seem to have made up a lie about my language. |

And Kruger, my language towards our ex manager, are we to assume with you being a concerned parent, you also stopped your son listening to his interviews? I mean publicly on air calling an opposition manager a fat weeble and one of your own players an idiot isn’t a great role model or choice of language for you son to hear?

Under GC there was a clear plan and the players knew their job. Plus there were players who could score goals. Awful to watch in my opinion and not substantial. Now we appear to be stumbling to results. Not conceding, probably due to Bonds organisation. After that not convinced there is a plan. As others have stated we have been left short on the striker front and would say in midfield as well. Still not convinced by Mangan |

Just my view… Fair and well thought out reply which I appreciate and I’m not being patronising. It’s the same couple/few I seem to offend, I’m not always right and enjoyed your post where I receive some constructive criticism. Bit the likes of Kruger and Betty don’t seem to be able to handle my posting, I am not affecting one’s child by the way I post, really?! And the last bloke, me solely are ruining his experience on the forum?! When I say someone needs to look at themselves, anyone would think I am Suella Braverman or Andrew Tait! As I said last night, godsend Martin lived in Bristol and was unemployed and was only discussing this wink Gashead81 on the phone this morning. The Crewe game is brilliant for us as it also likely postpones another league game. We could do with some bad weather as well, I’d be happy with a back log of games in 2024, let’s get the window open and back Mangs or whoever on January 1st. Keep your chins up Kruger and Betty, the good times are just around the corner, UTG. |

I'm not asking you to apologise for anything, I really don't know where you got that from, regarding the nasty comments, maybe go back through some old posts you might surprise yourself. Thanks for the family meeting advice, he already knows the rights from wrongs, if I am wrong then I myself apologise, |

Onwards and upwards Interesting view, I personally really liked Cogs, I just loved winning football. Appreciate though attendances went through the floor Its an entertainment industry though. I was happier after losing that game to Oxford than winning against Northampton, as I thought if we played like that most weeks we wouldn't be far off the top. Even Oxford fans said we looked a force. As it is, that performance seems to be a one-off rather than the norm, and is probably the last good performance we have put in despite the result. |

Yep, should have beaten Oxford but that’s why JB has gone. Mangs has got results but do we want results or entertainment?
We want both of course! C’mon you Blues!

Of course we want both, but if only one is available I'll take results. Maybe Mangs has to do it this way with the squad he's now responsible for, since they don't seem capable of getting into their stride playing the pretty stuff. Four wins and a draw including two cup wins (well one cup and a thimble) is excellent. |

Yes you would take a win of the two, but as others said we havent played well and have been very lucky in Mangans games so far. I just watch these games thinking a better team would have us (and our opposition) easily beaten |

Just my view… Full disclosure - I am a Barton Hater I think the issue here is that simple rule: "Attack the post, not the poster" We seem to have forgotten this a little as a group. Roadman did make a comment that was designed to inflame the lovers vs the haters debate and I do thinkbitbis time we start to move on. However, the key to debate is to discuss why his comments are correct or incorrect. At some point, we can stop talking about Barton lovers or haters. We will have a new manager to love (or hate). I just think we should have collective responsibility to attack the post and not the poster. If a post makes a member angry, then maybe it would be an opportunity to take a step back and think about why it makes them angry and respond accordingly. Rather than attack that person. |
