Barton is proving to be a costly gamble. The offloaded players appear good enough judging by their new destination. I bet Darrell Clarke would have got a tune out of at least some of them.

Delegation of Responsibility.
It's early days this season. Imaging the culture of the first team if we are still losing after a dozen matches and with Barton thinking more and more about his meetings with the Judge (and I don't mean Billy Clark).

Higgs had huge bags under his eyes back then. If he found the chairmanship of Rovers that stressful I wonder why Wael maintains quite a relaxed and optimistic exterior?

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.

It’s early days, Joeybag will find a rhythm. I think he desperately wants as many players from last year gone. I bet any incoming players will be northern with a common surname from yesteryear - a smith, Dixon, Wilmot or Evans.
Joey bag likes graft, football from the streets, heart on his sleeve. McKeever, Low and Ramasur wouldn’t have lasted a second here.

Joey bag talks about having to play players last night that have been told to leave during this transfer window.
The only players that had played last night but were signed prior to Joeybag is Kilgour, Baldwin, Liddle, Grant and Westbrook.
So who’s been told to go?

This management lark is not rocket science.
Cheltenham progress in the cup lotto, maybe they’ll earn a big draw and a decent payday earning a cash injection.that funds a stockley-type loan signing during the winter transfer window.
Barton still has time. Were today’s players inept, demotivated, lacking direction or outclassed but worth persisting?

Thanks for confirming. I’ll pass on the live commentary and just check the scores as I wake up.
Why have I suddenly got a taste for a carabao ‘energy’ drink? Is it popular in England?

Does anyone know if you can buy a match pass on iFollow but watch the game on a delayed time?
Tonight’s match starts at 4:45am down under so I’d prefer to watch a pre-recorded match from 6am.
I’m not getting up that early to watch the reserves against the second best spa town in southwest England in the tinpot trophy

On the suject of Barton/Rovers flags,some Rovers fans will love Bartons notoriety,certain people love anything notorious or outrageous,Stone Island clothing,certain breeds or types of dogs,facial tattoo's or piercings anything that will get them associated with 'badness'. I’d love to sit into Stone Island’s marketing meetings. They have identified a market and know they don’t have to spend that much on advertising as they have the sheep loyalty of their followers. They don’t even need designers - just someone who can sew a ribbon on the arm of a coat ot jumper.

Sounded an eventful game. Frustrating! It was clearly a tough opener. We'll improve,feeling quite confident. I think there is hope for this season. Pundits like our signings, bookies reckon we end up top 3. We played a back 4 today, conceded a corner leaving 2 up, and that is a positive, the sort of take it to opponents game after game you need to force your way into promotion. Sounds like Hughes is quality, despite penalty and going to ref on final whistle. Those in ground, mark out of ten for Hughe’s overall? Sounds like our defence is better than last season. 5 of next six matches are against sides tipped for relegation, so here is opportunity to demonstrate our quality going forward and scoring goals now and justify our tag. Bring on these next 6 league fixtures and show what we got. I watched iFollow. Hughes is like an Andy Tilson. Good signing. We will be ok. Our captain is suspended for three games. What a Coutt.

There was a tussle between Hughes and Hawkins in the penalty area in the first half which the ref ignored. The ref decided not to ignore a tussle in the second half injury time. Awful refereeing, absolutely dreadful. The result isn’t Barton’s fault, the referee has had an absolute shocker. But we expect that, in this league. We have had enough experience of it Aside from the ref, we didn’t really have that many attempts on target or off target. Westbrook continued his reluctance to tackle. The wingers looked good in spells. With Nicholson, Rodman, Pittman, Hanlan and Collins to come back I think we’d eat Mansfield if we had a near strength team. Ollie Clarke played well, should have scored in the first half.

Please give me some hope for the season guys! Hoole had a good game. Reminds me of daniel leadbitter with the tenacity of Jason Perry. Injured a few opposition players today!!

Sounds like a Rovers team in Barton’s image: they are all at Ref at final whistle 😂 Did you watch it? To be fair to Barton he was ordering all his players away from the ref. Let’s hope joeybag doesn’t pay the ref a visit on the way out of the stadium!!

Basel - note our bet about Rovers having a terrible disciplinary record. Coutts red carded and Andy Mangan (the coach) yellow carded in terms of 3 match suspension though, Grantt will smoothly slot into anchor role and may even have a better midfield without two anchors in there. And Hughes maybe a better leader on pitch. 3 yellows (outfield players) 1 red (outfield player) Another yellow (assistant coach)

Lee Brown (Portsmouth) and Andy Williams (Cheltenham) both score. Harries with a great goal, great technique to hit a left volley that arced into the goal. Garners Swindle 2-1 up away from home. McCormick nets for AFC Dons He’s a mercurial manager that Ben Garner though, the Rovers side we had last season Tommy and Starnes put together even looked half capable of staying up under him. Definitely. In hindsight we could have been selling off those young players for a transfer fee this season had we stuck with the plan!!
