I’m as upset with the result as much as anyone, but calling for MT’s head is just embarrassing.

At least they now get the best part of 2 weeks on the training ground with no match. let's hope they put that time to good use From past experience we'll lose a couple of players to injuries and then play the first 20 mins or so as if the players met just before the kick off, I've never known us play well after an extended break. You really are Mr Optimistic |

All you naysayers, tut tut. He's the Messiah. After all, we've had 2 clean sheets in the last 4 games. Oh yeah, we've scored 1 and conceded 9. Go Matt. 🏴☠️ The only decent player on the pitch was his signing ( Conteh) . Happy to give him the first 6 months of next season. |

Blimey, total over reaction again. We have played Lincoln at a time when they are in a hot streak of form with everything to play for where we have nothing. The stats show there was not much in it (apart from the goals). I agree with previous posters that said 5-0 flattered Lincoln and the worst performances of the day were Sheridan and Keith where their comments often didn't match what I was watching I laughed at this! What a load of rubbish, glad you've excepted such a poor performance, no overreaction, that was unacceptable, just like the Fleetwood game and the first half against Burton and Carlisle. I've seen many a team play like we did today and end up relegated. So what if Lincoln have scored so many in their previous games? I suppose with that logic they are going to win every game 5-0 from now on. From what I watched, Lincoln were for the taking today, very poor at the back and any team that could even half defend and actually score would of been in with a shout. |

I wonder how many teams have lost a match 5-0, but could have won it? That's us all over. I'm afraid. |

Taylor in tears? No, the absolute opposite he sounded very angry and determined to get rid of weak players. There is enough experience in the management team to build a more resilient team than this. Stevenage would be a good benchmark of what is achievable if you recruit well and have a consistent game plan. Barton saw himself as a football master in League One and presided over the assembly of ageing, inconsistent team that flattered to deceive. No pace, power, little structure. Recruitment isn't difficult, as the cuurent weaknesses are so glaringly obvious. Budget will be interesting, but we are realistically 2 seasons away from having a challenging team in League 1. The meltdown tonight is justified. But it is just more nails in this squad's coffin. This is basically what the Manager said. Looking at the starting 11 and ignoring the 3 forward players and goalie, only Taylor and Conteh are likely to be here next season anyway, as Crama, Vale and Baggot will return to their parent clubs and Sinclair is unlikely to be offered a new contract, the only one potentially to be offered a new contract is Finley. Brown who was subbed off early is under contract for next season anyway. If he does send any of the loan players to train alone they'll just be recalled by their own clubs. |

Well that was disappointing. Sorry folks. I’ll not bother again. Bye then. A mid table finish having sacked that mental case with us in 17th at the time will be a good finish. If the board had signed the wrong manager we’d be in the relegation places now. Taylor inherited an injury prone unbalanced side just before the winter months kicked in and has got a better points to game ratio than Barton ever had for us in this division. Taylor has done ok , not great but he has done ok the league table doesn’t lie. I’m happy to give him the summer window and at least 10 games into next season before I really judge him on what he’s done so far and what I feel that he’s going to do at our club. Barton inherited a similar crappy squad in around the same position that Taylor has and took us down bottom that season of league 1. Patience is needed in my opinion but clearly you’ve washed your hands with it , shame as mid table league 1 is riding high compared to the last 25 years. Edit : got the wrong end of the stick , Milton meant he’s out as in starting match day threads . UTG |

The seasons over, rather see performances like this then at the start of next season with everyone sat on fat 2 year deals. Massive clearout coming, going to need a friend to help! It’s hard to see a massive squad clear out leading to a good season. We should have made an effort to sign a couple more permanent players during the past window - the more coming in completely fresh in the summer will just delay the squad jelling. Conteh looks a great signing but I never got the point in signing kids on loan for just 3 or 4 months, plenty of benefit for the parent club but very little in it for us. |

Martin Thomas was only 17 when he became a regular in the 1st team. Ward doesn't have the stature or the presence to be a decent keeper People have been singing his praises, gets picked by England u20’s but now crap. Only football eh To be fair the only person writing him off also wrote off Tom Lockyer (Not good enough for league one etc..) so hopefully Jed will come good in the long term too 😁 |

Probably finish 15/17th. We should be safe from relegation.. thankfully as it looks as though this group don’t want to play for our manager. |

Why not sack him now? It’s a total rebuild in the Summer anyway and the question is, will he be any better at doing that, than any other manager out there? “We have got our Rovers back” has been said on here. Not by me I might add! But who are we going to employ who's going to do better than MT, I can't imagine our new DoF as a list of potential managers we could employ? For all his issues JB held the club together now we're just a total sh1t show again. Did he? Didn't he split the fan base? Didn't he bully staff into leaving? |

I think he is referring to the young lad, Jamie, who Barton ridiculed because he couldn't do a large number of keepy-uppies. The young chap scouts for Aldershot now. |

Anyway, not quite apples for apples... On 22 February 2021, Barton was appointed manager of Bristol Rovers with the club in a relegation battle, sitting just two points outside of the relegation zone. |

I'll start it off Sonny Cox striker at Exeter, swop him for Jevani Brown, release all those out of contract, and have some proper pre season friendlies, some of the players just ain't interested. Raid League 2 clubs for more like Conteh. Ward C Taylor Conteh, Ward, Evans LT Martin Loads of work to be done. |
