I've heard it all now To be fair Wael has given them a new stadium. At least 3 times so far. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Apparently they need 3 new midfield players a right back and a centre half. Wow, last seasons heroes have been brought down to earth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oxford result was a good one, though they’re struggling so far. Prior to that they had lost at home to FGR & beat Burton who played 89 minutes a man short. Barton presumably thinks this nonsense plays well to their deluded fan base but they haven’t played any of that division’s big hitters yet. When they do (& come unstuck) just watch him throw more players under the bus again & all talk of doing things at a standard above their level mysteriously stop.

They're coming for us mind Mind the gap. And just like that... the "six place gap" becomes a 24 place gap. Oh, and an entire division gap as well. Ever looking upwards at a level of football that is a distant memory for most Gasheads. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Joey doesn't like making any excuses, so he only mentioned the state of the Oakwell pitch 15 times in his radio interview. The Gas, who are very similar in style to the Dutch team of the 70s, need a pristine pitch to show their real talents. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it all now You do have to give Barton credit for one thing though - he has worked out their fanbase and literally has them on strings. Say the right things and nothing will ever be has fault as he strings £10K per week from Wally as long as he wants it or until a better offer comes along...........then the moon will be reached elsewhere!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Barton is all boom or bust I have no idea why he is approaching this season in such a manner. Far better to dampen expectations a bit, 'we are newly promoted in a league of some big clubs, a season of consolidation is our aim' rather than all the gung ho nonsense about needing 5 players to compete blah blah blah Gonna end in tears big time As for the Gashead who seems to think we would rather have Barton and Wally... Buddy if that was remotely true we would get Barton and Wael 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy if that was remotely true we would get Barton and Wael Guys an idiot, can’t stand him. Worst thing is he has most our fans wrapped around his little finger. Funny thread awhile ago where a few were claiming they never had an issue with him then a poster went and found threads from his time at Fleetwood with said posters criticising Fleetwood for hiring him and what a nasty piece of work he was etc. He’s been given everything DC asked for and was denied. Publicly came out and said he had been given a big budget for this season but I’m not really sure what he’s done with it other than offer players new contacts then criticise them and want them out after one game. Mental. When he came in I’m sure him and NP were battling for the worse PPG record in the whole EFL. Surprised you lot have been so patient but I’m only looking in from the outside so may be more too it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
