Not street wise, and too soft! We’re down in my opinion

Posters saying they don't want Barton simply aren't Gasheads, you just have to listen to any of his interviews to know he has more about him than any of our recent managers. As far as Paul Cook and Nigel Adkins it's pretty clear now we never had a chance of employing either as they'd set their sights higher. Our best hope would have been Duff but I doubt he'd cope with the task Barton faces now and in the summer. Unfortunately, St. Joey isn’t coping with the task he now faces. 7 points from 8 games...if you think he is coping, next we’ll be taking open topped bus tours when we win a point at home. Embarrassing 🤣

I'm not sure anyone can realistically claim Barton is as bad as either Garner or Tisdale as things stand. He's working with a squad made up of 3 separate managers players two of which have playing styles which are polar opposites. Add to that Tisdale telling us all we have nothing up front after having a full transfer window to do something about it and it's no wonder Barton is finding things tough. After hearing his post match interview tonight I'm optimistic he has what it takes to sort us out, whether that's from league 1 or 2 remains to be seen but at least it will be with his own squad. Who says Tisdale didn’t try to get a striker or three in? Barton is spouting the usual rubbish after games, but I bet it’s basically the same squad for Tuesday even after his post match threats. you have spouted the same rubbish in your last three posts! Boring isn’t it?

From what understand the scouting set up is miles behind our beloved rivals. I know a scout from Bridgwater who is part of the junior club my son is at and I help out at and he was scouting for Rovers when I 1st met him. Not long after he left the Rovers set up to link up with City as they would pay him expenses to go and watch junior football where Rovers would only pay you if a player was recruited to the academy. We are losing scouts all the time due to the fact there is nothing in it for them and this needs to change quickly if we want to build a successful academy. Rovers are literally miles behind everyone within a 40 mile radius, no scouting presence in the area the fact that a BIC development team (basically v good grass roots boys) turned over their u13s academy so easily says it all the best unsigned boys in Bristol play for BIC and BIC only feed city..... Thats clearly not true, there are other development groups, much better than BIC, definitely in the U14

Agree Zains quality has started to come to the fore since JB ‘s appointment, I am sure all our midfielders will learn & improve their game considering Joey was a premiership midfielder . IMHO Zain reminds me of a younger Chris Lines with his passing & set piece abilities, let’s hope he goes on & have a long & similar career as Linesy. A bit. Zain is more about clever passing and doesn’t have the driving runs of lines. Hanlans goal against Shrewsbury, would suggest Zain definitely has the capability for driving runs, he needs to be picking the ball up in the right areas

So, were all unified and enjoying our latest win. That will never do, this is a football forum and debate, disagreements and the occasional threat to fill in another poster are the hallmarks of a vibrant forum. While I would appreciate keeping threats of violence to a minimum, I will go out on a limb here and say I think ZW has been excellent recently since JB came here, and he deserved a little appreciation. A goal and an assist last night, a great backheel to set up Rodman (can’t remember which game) and an assist for Hanlans goal v shrews. I think he’s one of the most exciting talents we’ve had now we are seeing the best of him. “Ducks” agree totally with that, I’ve never thought anything else, he’s a great player, but it’s obvious he’s getting pretty clear messages from his manager now. He’s also playing in his right position, very clever footballer, he’s also putting in a proper shift. Long may it continue 👍🏽

we all love this club! at the start of this season most of us thought top 6 is it the players or was it the management,what went wrong its the 10000 dollar question managers came and went in the quest to keep us in div1 i think we will get relegated,but i also believe that jb with all his skill and knowledge will create a team worthy of the gas and supporters going down will make the board of brfc realise the stupidity of giving the managers job to a novice, even though he was a nice chap! so the best thing to do and everyone get behind jb accrington stanley who are they come on the gas show them who we are!!!! Top 6?? Not a chance, but I was pretty positive about mid table.

Ledley has been told he has no future at the club? He has, but imho that decision should be reversed. An experienced and technically good player in the middle is just what we need to take pressure of our defence. Youngsters running around lots are fine, but we need one in there that can dictate play without having to run and run and run. After he played in the reserves game v Bournemouth last week didn't one of the other players say they had never played alongside anyone as good? But If he’s not fit enough, he’s no use to us? We need a player 100% match fit. We’re not in a position to be carrying a player who’s not fit. Had he been ready, I would definitely have had him in 👍🏽

Off to Millwall in the summer according to newspaper reports. It’s a shame, as evidently he’s a bright young player with a big future ahead of him and I know a lot of Gasheads were hoping that he might stay longer than his loan. I guess that’s the risk with loan signings, if they turn out to be decent, the chance of keeping them is always slim. Just hope that for the rest of his time at Rovers, he is a able to play a big part in our battle for L1 survival. footballleagueworld.co.uk/millwall-set-to-secure-transfer-agreement-with-chelsea/what Rag was that reported in?

Next games: 442 Day Williams Kilgour Baldwin Leahy Rodman McCormick Ledley(please) Nicholson Ayunga Daly Obviously means bringing Ledley in. If not then probably Upson there, but I'm not sure he has enough about him Ledley has been told he has no future at the club?

I am an Everton fan so I know it is none of my business but why is there such negativity about the appointment of Joey Barton ? Because we’ve had such little success as a club, many of our supporters, really haven’t got anything better fro moan about 🤣

How sad, that grown adults, are Just waiting for someone to slip up. Just so they can say “told you so”. If he plays up whilst with us, then fair enough! But everyone deserves a chance. This forum certainly has lots of followers, that have never put a foot wrong! Anyway time to move on! UTG

That team showed today what they are capable of, which they have done a couple of times this season but now is the time for consistently and Its up to Barton to install that in them. The desire to win the ball today was a contrast to previous managers for some bizarre reason. Shrewsbury were very poor but Rovers played very well. I don’t think we allowed Shrewsbury to get any foothold in the game, from the first minute to the last. That was down to the organisation of the team. The way we defended as a unit, I’ve not seen since GC. Our shape was superb without the ball. It was obvious to see. More of the same 🤞
