    Indeed. I think the Rahic, and resulting relegation episode has glossed over the fact that he's only actually had 2 wins out of 13 games (7 losses). I'm giving him ten games this season with the squad he's put together before I start to ask if that plane is still available for fly overs, but I'm certainly hoping that with players he's chosen and being in a league below, he starts to get some wins on the table pretty sharpish.

    I'd personally be very disappointed if we dont win the next two.

    I think you may be disappointed if Bowyer doesn't change his team selection.

    I'm hoping Tuesday's cup game will be the time he changes to 442
    See's the positives & the error's of his ways and sticks to it

    As usual, it's the hope that kills you

    Well to be honest, looking at the first two games of the season, I was thinking we'd be disappointed if we don't win those. Now I think reality is kicking in, and Oldham at home should be a win, but maybe we're happy (!) with a point away at Stevenage. This, unfortunately seems to be how it is at the moment.

    Reads like that article was written by someone on here, demanding the sane changes - the magic tonic apparently being Scannell, who had proven nothing since joining the club.

    I get the desire for 4 4 2, but our squad is not suited to it.

    4 4 2 is all about wingers, one on the right, one on the left. Straight away the problem us screamingly apparent. There isn't a good, fit left winger in the building.

    It's like calling fur a switch to a sweeper system without signing a sweeper.

    How about we sign an effective winger before continuing further poorly conceived articles about wing play.

    No 10 games for me. 10 games is far too much.

    When you're supposed to be one of the favourites for the league and one of the biggest clubs in the league then 10 games is too long.

    Remember he had 11 games last season and he got to know the players that he was given then.

    We should be beating Cambridge at home and Grimsby away. I give him another 3 league matches and I want to see wins.

    You conveniently forget that we're playing doyle in the number 10 role though?

    We shouldn’t be playing him in any role.

    We don't need to play 4 4 2 because Doyle is poor, we just need to play Scannell on the right and Donaldson on the left of Vaughan.

    With Gibson behind them not retreating back into his own half to play the quarterback role. Hes the most agile, tricky midfielder we have at the moment. Utilize him

    And that strategy surely beats lumping Gibson out wide left (round peg, square hole ironically based on that article).

    Apart from the SCUM who let off a flare when we scored, forced disabled fans to move cause they were getting squashed, fighting between themselves and just been annoying little scumbags of 14-17 year olds, then no trouble.
    If any of the muppets who walk round in fake stone island, CP company or napapijri coats think you're hard, you're not. You're a set of complete and utter KNOBS who are a disgrace to the football club.
    Go ask your mummy for some more pocket money, but dont use it shaming our club, go buy some sweets from the shop like I used to go at your age.

    They're not wrong, they expected more from a Bradford side and so did i. Although they seemed quite excited by yesterdays turd that was served up so their expectation levels are way lower than what mine are.

    Exactly, no idea what they're getting excited about. They threatened from set pieces but were just as clueless from open play as we were and only got a point because of a deflected effort.

    They are limited but seem to work to their limitations which is good football sense. Maybe its something we should get used to as fans and a club. Because we are gonna see a lot more of yesterday this season. Oh i can hardly wait.
