The Voice - Match preview Notts County vs Bradford City Saturday 21st December 3:00pm

Surprised you couldn’t remember it onside. It’s been regurgitated many times every season for the last 7 years

 

I read most of your posts Dave. I don’t think I have blamed the fans at any time for our current situation. I think BCAFC are extremely lucky beyond belief to have the amount and loyal fans they do period.

It doesn’t appear that our support for the club is valued or indeed given the respect we deserve. I can just about manage to watch us play badly and have done over the years. However being lied to constantly is too much for me. I also realise that putting the club under pressure by withdrawing financial support may result in the club being unable to operate. However, as I said they have been lucky so far, now they have to think of other ways to survive. You disagree I know but we have been doing the full support no matter what for 8 years! Time to try a bit of leverage.

 

Apparently Baldwin was giving the fans a load of shit after the game? I didn’t see anything cos I was straight out when the final whistle went. Cheeky bastard. All 3 goals were on the players yesterday. One shite away performance after another, If they can’t take criticism after witnessing such shite then they should feck off

 

What an utterly embarrassing comment, you really think it is the fans who were responsible for that (a numerous other) weedy displays and not our dreadfully inept manager and the mediocre players?!
Remember it was Alexander himself who just on Friday was talking up the big characters, bolshy voices in training etc
To the 2000 + fans who yet again spent good money just before Christmas only to be totally let down AGAIN I am not surprised they reacted!

 

That’s the only way he will go, the rest of your comments I have zero interest in commenting on because if there was this “ interested” buyer waiting on the sidelines it would have happened before now. It’s all pie in the sky b/s that some magic Xmas fairy will trot down to VP and offer Rupp even half of what he wants for the “ Franchise” , never mind the full amount, unless of course Rhodes and Lawn ride up on their white charger. Then what, no investment and massive outgoings to fund the loans that helped them buy the club in the first place. That’s exactly what will happen, we all know it and we all have the video? A sad state of affairs at the moment BL?

 

So he has dropped him, just wanted to clarify .

 

No concessions for a woman of a certain age then

 

Our fault silver yeah?
They are quick to milk the praise, take the rough with the smooth

 

The test is when Pattison and Evans are fit and available.

Stockport in the cup was arguably our best performance and he was not in the starting team.
We looked more mobile and Pattison did what we thought he could do when we signed him by running beyond the front men.

If he persists with Smallwood when the others are fit then I don’t get how he can’t see his weaknesses.

 

Baldwin is one of the worst footballers I've seen since Rehman.

Admittedly Benn went completely missing all game but every time Baldwin got close to Tsaroula he both failed to get in a tackle and also failed to block the cross. You can't just Jockey someone until they whip it over and think job done! It's similar to his effort for the second goal, no challenge, no anticipation no point even being on the pitch.

Absolute non league standard performance from a non league standard player.

 

I'd only be watching it on TV as you know if my club are playing I'd want to either be there or watching on TV none participation as you know is not what I do.

 

One second the club laud the fans, the next were all monsters ruining the club lmao

 

Likewise. My friends have said that they are considering not buying a ST next season but they enjoy where they are sitting as I do, but I think I am at the point of sacrificing a seat to make my point. If there was a legal way out of cancelling my DD I would.

 

We've probably seen the last of him. You know how it goes at City. We get a decent game from an injury prone new recruit...and then they are out for the season.

 

How many times have we been in this position? Shite start, shite January transfer window, results continue to be shite, sack manager, supporter unrest, open letter - wash, rinse, repeat shite.

Stuart McCall - Feb 2018 - SACKED
David Hopkin - Feb 2019 - SACKED
Gary Bowyer - Feb 2020 - SACKED
Derek Adams - Feb 2022 - SACKED

We can all see it coming. And then folk have the gall to tell us stop been negative, get behind the lads and just be happy we have a team to support.

 

What is about to happen over the next couple of months couldn't be more obvious Serg. The same idiots will make the same idiotic decisions, and then some will blame the fans...

 

Absolutely right.

 

Not sure how or who is blaming the fans, not seen any evidence other than Uncle Derek a while back now . If anyone actually believes starving a football club of funds somehow gains success ……I’m glad they don’t hold my bank accounts . Delusion . Rupp has written off his investment by now , the real big issue that everyone is missing…… nobody wants to “ invest “, no matter the price because not one club outside the Prem makes a profit. Unless of course it’s substantial owner investment falsely massaging the figures.

 

A handful of posters on here seem to blame the fans, Kev. The club couldn't give a toss about us, as long as we keep buying tickets.
Do you honestly think Rupp has written off his investment? If so he should be willing to give the club away right?
And for the record, I don't think that starving the club of funds will gain success, not sure where you got that from.

 

Those goals. My opinion. Lazy lazy play woe we are really bad. Our midfield play in diving boots. Walker is off it as a keeper.
