    I get it, but one of the three are usually available. I don't think we can get someone in, just to cover injuries when we already have an abundance of attacking (non-defensive) midfielders

    It's feasible of course that Connolly might get recalled and then I agree

    But he plays wide. It's not as though we have a paucity of wingers. I mean I'd like cover for everywhere - but we have to surely prioritise, i.e. CDM

    The way they are currently playing, I'd say we already have three CDM's in Reeves, Palmer and Cooke. Four if you count Akpan (please don't).

    Ha ha it's over! Don't do it yourself.

    Wellens is just trying to make sure that they isn't a backlash from fans as you've lost a player that's scores most of your goals and you're rubbish without him.

    So unless you come back with a 200k offer this is done. We won't loan him back out to you all.

    We've enough CDMs to last a life time. I like Pritchard but his best work is done just behind the front two. If he goes Doyle and a.n.other up top then we need a left winger to complement Wood. Goodness knows who.

    Exactly. With GB's preferred 5 at the back and two defensive midfielders, it doesn't leave many others to create the opportunities in the penalty area for Doyle. If we are to get the best out of Doyle, GB has to change his approach from his current safety first 'don't lose' approach to a more expansive style encouraging/allowing his midfielders to get further upfield.

    I'd love to believe in all that ........... But I just don't. Sorry, NO !
    With a half decent Bench - GB has still gone with safety first.
    Remind me again how many points City 'dropped' against Macclesfield, L O and Salford.
    Playing as we have - Doyle will have no, or little impact if we continue that.

    Instead of changing the mindset of upto 15 players, why doesn't GB narrow that mindset to just one - His OWN ? :)

    Someone at this IP address: 82.219.11.155 I'm sure @SimonW@SimonW could cross check and tell us if it's somebody on the board.

    It's somebody who either works for Yorkshire County Cricket or is on their network :p

    Right decision from city couldn't leave him at Swindon with his goals to games ratio .
    Do we have an option for an extra year on his contract at end of the season cant recall if we have .

    I thought Wiki was always correct!

    Nobody on here has used that to access BT.

    We've had one striker of consistent quality. Now we have two, soon to be three. Can't argue with the facts, we scored more when we had two of a consistent quality

    Donaldson gets injured before Doyle went - he wouldn't have been going

    I'm surprised. It seemed like standard behavior for some of the folks who frequent this forum from time to time.

    Look at results throughout the season in league one there have been many cases of so called lower teams taking points of teams higher up. It’s eleven against eleven jus because we are Bradford city it doesn’t mean we have a Devine right. We have the best home league record and we are doing well in the table so with respect you are talking nonsense

    How would everyone shape up with Doyle in line up and a full fit squad?

    If it’s true that we had a week to trigger his recall clause in the loan deal then we had to bring him back. It doesn’t mean he is staying he could well return to Swindon if a deal is reached

    Exactly
    This is a huge gamble not only for Doyle but for GB himself
    Its a turning point for both
