    We don't have a choice the lad ain't going to quit thats for sure and I don't want him too but after the past appointments (which the vast majority of fans thought at the time were right for Bradford City) it might have been a good idea if he had asked for advice from outside our club.
    One thing for sure I wont be passing on supporting our club, I could never see that happening until my final whistle.

    I believe we do, as all moneys from home games goes to the home club, where as yesteryears they were split between the two clubs, I think it was changed many years ago as the big clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle,Chelsea who he sell outs most home games thought it not right to be subsidising the likes of Watford, Swindon, etc.

    Ryan needs to go back to the marketing side and we need a proper football CEO.

    On paper both guys were right. Adams and Hughes. What has been wrong is football support and financial planning.

    There were four of us down for the game. To be fair l combined this with meeting up with them as they all live in London.

    The guy next to me said he lived in London and I got talking to a bloke who lives in Exeter and had got the train over (still a significant journey). So a lot of Bantams ‘in exile’.

    Playing at Sutton, was like going to Nethermoor.

    Or someone who knows what he's doing could come in and get us going straightaway .......... We have seen there is a team in there the Swindon and Wrexham game showed that .............. if somehow we are within a shout of the playoffs come January then we may be within a shout ...............sadly I just feel we will end up in midtable a new messiah will be appointed and the circle just goes on

    I said that after the Accrington game and got hammered, especially by @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler .

    I'm absolutely certain he won't respond but we're used to that after criticism from club officials.

    @Bantam-in-Greece@Bantam-in-Greece , how on earth did you "like" this post?

    Cook hit 30 goals last season, is that's not enough to get you promotion in absolutely certain the fault didn't lie with your striker!

    Add it to Afoka being lauded after 1 ok performance and then disappearing without a trace.

    It’s just what some posters do.

    Do we know anything about Pattison and Richards? What injuries do they even have? Getting those two back and in the team should help. Watching LR at left back is awful.

    Carefully Rog, you'll be drowning under all my "winner" emojis if you don't stop with these sensible posts.

    I got pelters for saying he looked a poor signing during pre season. Mind you, I also said Oyegoke looked like a player during some of those games as well so none of us get everything right ;)

    Cook 5 weeks ago after scoring a hat trick,including a goal where he ran half the length of the field
    He has a belly.How could he possibly score goals?

    I especially enjoy the speed at which he puts on and loses "2 stone".

    It's literally 7 days at certain points in the season.

    500 mile round trip in atrocious driving conditions for what?
    No positives to be taken from yesterday's performance at all.
    The long suffering support deserve more on their travels.
    The feeling inside when leaving the ground yesterday I couldn't possibly sum up in words.
    Our club is crying out for something or someone to rescue it before its to late.
    We have to earn the right to win.
    Bums on seats don't win games and never will.
    At this moment in time it's a shambles.

    Hats off to you mate for making the trip.
    We are a broken club and I dont think it's an exageration to say that what happens over the next few weeks could define our future.
    I hope that this is now our rock bottom but with an oversized squad of mediocrity on long term contracts I'm fearful that it could get even worse before it gets better

    That's my point they are not playing in front of 17,000 actual spectators when Sparks talks about the size of the crowd.

    On reflection you are right NM. I have unliked it .

    I was so peed off yesterday with yet another 'no show', a complete lack of effort, desire and determination which gave the bottom team three easy points (after the MKD no show) to make their season record W3 D1 L12
    In my defence I am also very underwhelmed by Andy Cook this season.
    In my opinion he is nothing like the player that he was last season in which he was superb. For me I believe that it was a one off season for him and now? He's gone back to the player that Hughes left out to jog him up, funny how this has happened since he signed a new three year deal too.

    He seems slow, doesn't move for the ball in the box but stands where he is instead of making the ball his.
    Compared to the late, great Bobby Campbell who made every ball his, Cook is not in the same league due to his lacklustre performances.

    We all have our own opinions and this is mine on Andy Cook, I hope that the lad proves me wrong and makes me eat my words, if he doesn't I can see the new manager, (whoever he is) making his own decision on our strike force.

    ps...............just noticed your comments about Oduor which are in the same vein. I agree by the way but again, it shows that it's all about opinions!!! :)
