    Well you have told me very little there with regards my question, were you a fan before the Premiership days I can only assume you weren't as prior to that Bradford City could never fall into the category your suggest.
    As I say why have you stayed with Bradford City when you know there was little chance of anyone addressing our fall from grace, we didn't have a sugar daddy although you think differently.
    Forget the fact that Rupp has £110 million he was never intending spending much of it, in fact when you read @Dennis@Dennis's comments with regards what has been published at Company House he has spent less of his own money than many thought.
    Why would it be a failure if we did not go up in the auto's, it would be great but I think most would be happy with a promotion through the play offs, your league form means nothing it's which team turns up on the day.
    I don't know what Luton have done to get into the Championship from non-league 3/4 seasons ago have they got a sugar daddy, I hear they are getting a new stadium built (not before time) who's paying for that ?, we need to concentrate on our club Bradford City and let the likes of Luton get on with it as they have very little input to what happens at Valley Parade as we do with what happens at Kenilworth Road

    But 4 week doesn't necessarily give him time to achieve his goal of promotion?

    So if we win say 3 out of the next 4, you will leave out all this talk of getting rid then?...until the next time we go 2 league games without a win

    We play Newport at home, Orient away, Salford at Home, Carlisle away then Mansfield at home that's a great run of fixtures and we should be winning at least 4 out of the 5.

    We play Morecambe at home on the 1st.

    No excuses. We're not top 3 by the end of the year Bowyer has to go for me.

    Ain't that the most attractive run of fixtures, I don't know how we can contain ourselves, most of those clubs could possibly be playing in the conference in the next few years and as for us............well, it ain't looking good..

    This is why we will need to stop making excuses.

    The fixtures we have coming up should be winnable but suppose @Bronco@Bronco and some others will be making the old injury excuse if we don't.

    If we can't put a run together with them fixtures then we're in trouble.

    You were the one making excuses about injuries.

    Football is about gaining results with or without injuries, so accept it and don't use it as an excuse!

    Riley: Don't think he is going to get back in the team. I liked the look of Henley on Saturday.
    Palmer. No - nothing different from Pritchard, Cooke, Reeves, Taylor.
    Devit. Haven't seen enough of him. Similar to Reeves/Cooke/Pritchard?
    Gibson. No. Unless we're really desperate for a left winger.
    Donaldson. Yes of course.
    Doyle. Who the feck knows? At least bringing him back means Swindon don't have him, and we've got back up on the bench.
    Robinson. Who the feck knows?

    So yeah, I don't think injuries have really massively affected our performances apart from up top. Bowyer brought in Oteh to solve that situation, yet still doesn't seem to play that formation.

    I prefer to call it the 4th division-just like the old days.

    And yes you are spot on. We are the mighty Bradford City-we should be sweeping all teams aside like swatting flies. How dare these other teams actually try to beat us.

    Don't they know WHO we are?

    We have mahoosive crowds and the probably the biggest ground in the league.

    Like you I am bemused why we aren't beating Macclesfield Town and the like week in week out.:innocent:

    Macclesfield set up with a 3-4-2-1, and committed 7 players to defensive duties.

    This is why they have now conceded just 1 goal in 3 league games, and have only lost 6 of 19 games - when we visit them with just one seasoned striker in our ranks, we needed a bit of luck that we just didn't get. However we did create enough chances to win nonetheless - but it's not good enough for some because of one simple piece of analysis:

    They're Macclesfield, and we're Bradford.

    That's a bit silly, isn't it.

    I was only joking mate, Robinson technically isn't injured either - although I don't have that on good authority - he could have a broken leg for all I know!

    I always pay my bets.

    The cheque has been signed and will be sent to them in Manchester tomorrow.

    @Ricc@Ricc says they get mullered every week and that makes the draw a complete shambles. :unsure:

    they do. The players have gone on strike again today. How we didn’t beat them I’ve no idea and it’s not really acceptable
