The Voice - Match preview #8: Harrogate Town vs Bradford City Saturday 28th September 2024 12:30pm

'Loyalty' will be what sinks this club - these leeches need to forced out, and the only way to force this is to stay away and hit them where it hurts.

 

Oh dear sounds like a Stuart McCall type interview where he doesn't know what to do to turn it around

 

Ive been loyal for 34 years but this summer I simply had enough. I told you it was all bullshit but you got on your soapbox and bragged about loyalty in a clear way of masking your naivity. You didnt like Edin, well I dont like Rupp. He is equally as incompetent.

I dont fault fans for reknewing. Its just a hobby at the end of the day but obnoxious fans like you talk down to those that didnt reknew because we were fed up and could smell the bullshit.

We all have a choice.

 

That's one take, unfortunately not one I would take, but as we know some have already gone down that route which is their prerogative, as many have said in the past its not always about the football experience having a beer and banter with friends and family is a big reason why I enjoy watching football, unfortunately being Bradford born I had the choice of City or Avenue and got lucky choosing City.

 

We're TOP of the bottom half of league 4......amazing..!!

 

That team is probably our best chance under a Alexander led 3-5-2 yet shows how poor we are as I couldn't see that line up getting promotion, probably struggle with getting playoffs.

 

The letter influenced those adamant they were not renewing.
Not really sure how you can say it didn’t.
Don’t care if fans renew or not but make your mind up and don’t be a sheep.
I bet some of those protesters also renewed, if not all

 

Most chose Leeds

 

Agree with all of this. I personally thought Rupp cannot possibly renege on his promise to invest, but I was wrong. We needed 1/2 doz QUALITY players, and they have failed us yet again. Quality costs big bucks, but that is what it takes to get out of this league. However, weak you think the league is this season, we never had a choice of trying to take the easy and cheap way out after 6 years! They had to properly invest, if we had players in our sights that we knew to be quality, then we buy them. Yet again our weak leadership of this club, decided to do it on the cheap. I have news for them, buy cheap pay twice. They will also lose my financial support at the end of this season, they may have kept it if promotion was on the cards, but that is already looking decidedly iffy prospect.

We have deliberately brought in players who are vulnerable to injury, now look at us. Several players all out with serious injuries. Plus GA gave a terrible interview that did not inspire anyone. I think I would rather he asked for some time before being interviewed. We can’t possibly sack the manager with the current regime in place, otherwise it will be a repeat of what we have had.

 

No problem, sit back and enjoy the slide into obscurity.
You can always catch up with mates and have beer and banter with the crew when the Odeon becomes the most expensive Wetherspoons ever!

 

Absolute waste of a Saturday following that shite yet again, third consecutive 2-1 away loss, all to relatively mediocre looking teams, and our SEVENTH loss to Harrogate in 10 games. Just shows how pathetic we are under this ownership and the guidance of a clueless CEO. They really do not deserve the fans at all. Investment my arse. Any person who can stand there and say we are a stronger team than last season is an absolute idiot. Cook gets injured and we are well and truly relegation fodder

Feck it, maybe that’s what this club needs. Go down, go bust, reform, fight our way back up. At least we might see some passion for a change

Oh well, like a fool I’ll be doing it again on Tuesday, even booked half days holiday for it. If there are any psychoanalysts out there who can help beat some sense into me, DM me

 

GA in his interview goes on about slow starts in the last 3 away games as though it's something new. If my memory serves me right, it happened in a lot of games last season under him too.

Shall we start a poll?

 

On the positive he seems very pissed off which is what I want from a manager when things aren't going well. On the negative his words sound like the players ain't listening to him in training or just can't be bothered. Injuries have hampered him somewhat but we weren't great before the injuries, goes back to what seemed at the time a poor pre season transfer window where problems weren't addressed adequately.
And a big part of the problem is how he's lining us up. As Vin Weasel alluded to, I'd like to hear how he expected us create chances with that set up?
Pointon is not a wide player in a set up with two strikers, neither is Walker. It's tough on Sanderson but no point going two up top when you create nothing, should have gone 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-1-2.
He's gonna have to get this right quickly because us fans have been here before too many times since McCall left. I really have better things to do than go through it again.

 

I'm far from happy but I'm not sure what some are suggesting will get what they ultimately desire, I'm not trying to defend what we saw (certainly the first 20 minutes) today or Walsall but as a old head like many on here its not something we have just started to see from our team/club it's something many have accepted with regards watching their team Bradford City, Oh for the halcyon days of Phil Parkinson and the odd couple of seasons under Jewell, Cherry, Mulhall, Kennedy, Kamara. maybe more but that suggests the lack of success we've had during our time, fortunately or unfortunately that's the road I chose, I could never be a closet Manchester United/Liverpool supporter as I prefer to support my home town club, and all that goes with it.

 

But……be thankful you have a job to go to just like we are expected to just be happy BCFC exists.

 

Did I expect any more of a reply from yourself, don't you go worrying your head about me I will continue to visit Valley Parade and many other league two grounds until we get promoted with this owner or another/others, I will keep spending my money as I please enjoying company who have a little more humour than yourself, have a good night.

 

You'll be in good company Steve.

 

Listened to the first 10 mins then switched off.

The large number of injuries has shown how weak the squad really is.

From what I have seen so far this season absolutely no way are we promotion material in any way whatsoever. Obvs would like to be completely wrong on that!

Morais was absolutely beside himself with anger at the start we made.

Where are the leaders? None.

I think GA has lost the dressing room -how else can you explain the performance today? Shocking.
