Usually puffed-up bullies don't handle sustained pressure at all well. It needles them so that they blow up after a bit
Joeybag has got his mates in to protect him, but a combination of 2 very public court cases, an unsettled fanbase who don't accept that it's the fault of others, 3 wins in 6 months/0.45 points per game, and a pedestrian almost soul-destroying playing style will likely be eating away at him
What's your prognosis - a total turnaround, months of more of the same before others intervene, some sort of big bang, or other?

Apparently he needs to do a bit more wheeling and dealing then with everyone fit the performances will be so much better?
Whats not to believe!

I wonder if he ever smiles? He's creeping further and further under his elongated cap visor and will soon become just a silhouette.

Whilst I want him gone, and 10 defeats in 10 games would be a small price to pay, I wouldn't read too much in to last Saturday and yesterday evening.
The Conference season started terribly, so unfortunately it isn't possible to predict with any accuracy when it will be morally reasonable to attend Rovers' matches again, not quite yet.

I think Bristol Rovers manager spoke very well post Cheltenham game.
Told me all I want to know at the moment.
Nothing so far makes me concerned about us challenging this season.

I've just seen his post-match interview. Didn't expect much as regards content, and it delivered on that, but it wasn't as tonally deficient as I was expecting

It did strike me, watching an early video, on return after the break between seasons, that JB's brow seemed a lot more furrowed.

I support Barton until at least the second court case concludes. If he is innocent then he is really holding things together well, especially given the faint support from a large section of gasheads. As it stands he is just one employee of many. We should be supporting the club firstly so I hope the staff and players click and deliver results on the field.
