Resigned to relegation now. Even if we play some nice stuff we can't score, and will always concede at least 1 or 2 soft goals. We're looking at League 2 sad to say. BG and TW's experiment with kids will have cost this club a fortune Surely it is Wael's vision and his fault we have the squad we have? Wael may have had, or might still have, a vision of beautiful flowing football but the two Football people he trusted to put it into practice have let him and us all down. It could have been saved if PT had brought in a few older tougher heads in January, but he failed us too

Just reinforces what a missed opportunity Tuesday was - we were more than matching them until the stupid sending off...

If Hanlon is playing with an injury that is affecting his play then why on earth doesn't JB just get him off and Daly on

A little bit of a stuck record here, but JB says that Ledley isn't fit enough for a League 1 relegation battle - well I'd rather him for 60 or so minutes per game than our existing naïve players. I think he could do a good job in firming up and protecting the defence

If Grant is injured then I think JB needs to reverse the Ledley decision.....

Probably sign for Swindle and keep them up at our expense....

All makes sense.... but I still feel that someone of his experience to help the younger players for 60 minutes of a game could have been invaluable

Premature embarkation I'm afraid.....

Hopefully we can take the first half performance into the upcoming games. Yes the Ref has been inconsistent and really should not have sent off McCormick for an offence that has gone unpunished for every other player committing similar - but he knew he was on a yellow and really shouldn't have given the Ref the option. Hopefully he will learn from that.

Will Day be out for the next game or two - head injury/concussion rules?

Thank goodness for that. As for the defence not concentrating for a whole match - Baldwin only had to focus for about 8 minutes!

Cant we have a spare set of unsponsored and unbadged kits to give watertakers who forget their kits or aren't clever enough to have a non clashing kit? Great idea. An unwashed smelly pink polka dot kit......

I think Westbrooke will play a big role today and we'll nick a 3-2 win. Where does this stupid optimism keep coming from? A good single Malt?

That has really tipped me over the edge today, how can the incompetent Football league allow them three kits and they all clash. Me too. Hopefully we can use it as extra motivation to rub their noses in it. We could have lent them our away kit - oh no, hang on that didn't go well last time..... Edit - oops, hadn't seen Gas-Ed's comment on the previous page...

That’s what he’s been employed to do, save us from relegation, if that’s not the case we may as well have left Tisdale or better still Garner, in charge. Garner and his unbalanced U23 squad had been found out and the performances were only getting worse and worse. Tisdale came in and I really thought he could change things with the transfer window available to him, but he failed to recruit anyone other than Williams to plug the numerous and obvious gaps all through the squad. Barton is, imho, a panic move and I'm not comfortable with it at all. Whether he and Clint Hill can get a tune out of this unbalanced and gap ridden rabble of a squad I don't know. I hope so, but I fear we are doomed to relegation unless there are a couple at least of out of contract gems out there that they, with their contacts, can find to save us.

Dear oh dear! Barton and his team know now, if they didn't before, how appallingly naïve we are at defending set pieces and defending generally.
Maybe he has some contacts to find an out of contract defender, and/or maybe we can get Davies back from Barrow?
We will go down now I fear as this was a six pointer, others around us are improving, and we are just cr4p

I'm finding it very hard to welcome this appointment. Having seen the numerous disgraceful actions of Barton over recent years and his apparent inability to learn from his mistakes or rein in his temper, I can't say I am in the 'give him another chance' camp. He's had loads and always let himself, and those that have trusted him, down. I wonder if/hope the contract he has been given has a get out clause for BRFC if he is convicted in his delayed court case as I can't see us wanting to be without a manager for a period (if he gets a custodial sentence) or associated with him at all in that situation.
Of course I hope he is successful in keeping us up (I also wonder if there is a relegation get out clause for either party), but I can't be enthusiastic about him being our manager. He isn't the sort of character that I personally would want to be associated with. I hope he can change so I can change my view.

Think the next 3 games - Wigan. Shrewsbury and Burton- will decide our fate. Need at least 6 points from them to give us a chance. If we don't get at least a couple of wins from those 3 games then we are probably just not good enough to stay up whoever is manager. Agree totally ... and let’s be honest if we can’t beat Wigan and Burton we probably deserve to be relegated. As you and others have said, the next three games are absolutely pivotal. Wigan at home, Shrews at home, Burton away - we have to be looking at 7 points from these games. After these three, it's Hull away, Accy at home and Wimbledon at home. can only see 3 or 4 points there. Yesterday could have been different if one of those first half chances had gone in. Hopefully we will see chances being taken at least in the home games coming up.
