16 away league matches since our win at AFC Wimbledon in Dec 2020.
Club record is 29 away matches without a win. Covering end of 1928/29 season to Sept 1930.

3 - 0 to Barrow today.
We're currently sleepwalking our way towards some very big problems. Just like last season, we're barely have any strikers on the books - and two of those aren't fit.
It's JB's game tactics that are the issue, rather than the squad as a whole. Why did we set up 3-5-2 last week? Although he did belatedly change it (after we'd shipped all the goals) and has acknowledged as such in his most recent interview.
Surely this season can't be a carbon copy of the last?

Can't see anything but another embarrassing defeat today, our manager appears clueless.

Going by the resounding confidence in the guy..( cough cough) apart from what could be a spell away from the game 🙄, do we think that if things do not improve by then and into December will he get the chop, or is Wael so confident of him being the great saviour he won't Remove him

Well, would make my day if he wore that instead of the tired baseball cap.  Attachments:

Hopefully things WILL improve...
I also do not have any confidence that JB will be able to turn it around. Hopefully I am wrong on that one.
On the surface, it appears that we have once again sold the goals out of the team. Not many goals, I will grant you, but goals nonetheless.
I really, really hope we can beat Barrow today. When the manager of Bristol Rovers publicaly says that Barrow will be a tough game, then we know how low we have sunk as a football club. Just consider that...

I don't understand why he is not wearing a Bristol Rovers cap? Why? |

I still help be buzzing for every time Rovers play, even though we are going through a bad period.

Good to see the back of players that don't want to be at Rovers.
Useless flops!
Joey has spoken about getting back to playing a system these players have been signed to play in.Round pegs in round holes.Etc.
Maybe a week on the training ground will see good form today.
The chap who scored our fantastic goal at St James,he seems a good signing.
I'll go Barrow 0 Rovers 1

Sadly I already have and I have repeatedly said I think we have not seen the worst but I genuinely think it’s a managed decline. If many still wish to heap praise on the nice Mr Wael then that’s their prerogative and good luck to them We’re this Higgs , can you imagine the vitriol on here and gaschat Some are bewitched but the man because they have been allowed to be close to him. I think we are in a very dangerous and destructive place but then you all know I have said this, I just don’t think he has the nous to run a FC. As always, I could be wrong |

I don’t think I could stomach a draw at Barrow-in-Furness of all places, it has to be a win, nothing else will be acceptable and I hope they all know that after the start that we have had.

Barrow are 4th favourites for relegation (4-1). And people think a draw would be a decent result.
Just look how far we have fallen in the last couple of years. That win away to Ipswich seems like it belongs to a bygone era.

That win away to Ipswich seems like it belongs to a bygone era. So if I consider your point Epping and our current predicament, trying to bed in players,unfit players,injuries and as yet unsigned players,I would'nt be disapointed with a draw. It's a long old season as we know even if some conveniently forget now and again. |
