Imagine being played off the pitch by Crawley and stealing 3 of those points. And the MOTM was our GK. Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth must be shaking in their boots. Ah..........that explains performances in the Predictions League. Your point Sir? I'm currently 3rd out of 25 in the Predictions League!

I agree, DC seasons never started well, listen to the Gascast podcast with Bodin etc and they confirm this. Would anyone argue we had a better squad this time last season? Remember losing to Alfreton, and our star striker not scoring in the first 2 months. Then scoring 28 league goals the season later in the level above. My point being we have to give this group time. In September 2015 we lost 2 home games and 3 league matches in a row, yet ended up going up with 85 points. We can hope 2015 is repeated and you never know, it might, but there are plenty more examples where a team starts poorly and looks 💩 before going on to have a crap season. Games are worth 3 points in August as well as April and a crap start can only hinder a strong finish. In my view the first step at giving ourselves a chance of good season is sacking JB Having reviewed last season in some detail, and the DC seasons, the disruption is what we need to get away from. Why would anyone worth anything come to Rovers if we sack Barton, our 4th manager in 12 months. Especially if it's for football reasons without giving him a chance with his own squad. We should never have sacked Garner when we did. I wasn't totally sold on the project but he didn't get long enough.

I agree with everything you’ve said in principle and I rarely think sacking a manager is the right approach. But I see this as an exceptional case where a manager who should never have been appointed should be replaced by a proper football manager before any more damage is done.

If it is down to non football reasons then i agree, but football wise we have to give him a chance with his squad. 20 games or even a 2nd window. Where is the sense in sacking him after 6 games when the window has just closed. I know he is not popular and i don't like the circus he brings or his misdemeanours, but he is here and we need to back him purely for football reasons. If he is found guilty of either allegation then sack him, if not we wait until he let's the board sack him for football reasons. The squad went out for a team bonding meal last sunday, all good signs of cohesion and team spirit with a mix of experience and youth. Barton has built this, let's at least allow him the chance to see it through.

7 league games, 7 points, 5 goals.
Thank goodness he's sure we're going up this season.
Barton out now.

He seems a nice bloke and can motivate a group of players, by all accounts. Darrell someone.

It’s not too late to challenge for the top 7 but the first step needs to be Barton out now We have even worse and older players now, this is absolutely terrible and would need more than a good manager. How this was allowed to happen is beyond me. Barton is a fraud and has no managerial skill set or the ability to get a team playing as a unit. It’s schoolboy stuff. I don’t see this ending well and i see Garner laughing, as well he should

I don’t think he’d fall for the same trick twice

5 goals in 7 League 2 games. Barton out. The 'highlights' being two 1-0 wins at home against teams currently 19th and 24th. Barton out. Barton out. Barton out. And for the hard of hearing. BARTON OUT.

BARTON OUT. Epping, you’ve forgotten the win against Cheltenham’s youth team in the Pepperoni Pizza. Without that you don’t have the winning run of 2 which some Gaschatters believed demonstrated we had turned a corner

His record is appalling. There is no avoiding that fact.

Chill out everybody.
Even those who for some inexplicable reason found themselves hypnotised by Punchy didn't ask for anything more than 10 games at the start of the season, so we are only 3 games away from literally nobody being able to defend him any longer.

You don't speak for me - I've never specified a set number of games.

Fair enough, if someone wants to carry on supporting drawing at Barrow when they have 10 players, getting hammered by Exeter, who hadn't scored all season but destroyed us, and now slumping to a limp defeat at Hartlepool, that's your prerogative. Do you know the way to Wealdstone?
