Match Thread Lincoln Carabao Cup

Reminded me of 2 seasons ago when everyone to a man played like they cba

 

Think we played leeds once with big neville southall in goal and that was a pretty shameful effort.

For reasons of sanity, i cannot remember that score

 

I think you’re missing the point a bit, it’s probably infinitely more satisfying being a Harrogate supporter or a Salford supporter, than a Bradford supporter, it’s the ‘product’ on offer, and the way the fans are led up the garden path with the sob stories, fantasy land, and excuses for the latest failure. No plucky bcfc cup exploits these days, just predicatability.

 

Or a single league win, for balance.

As for "9th at worst", there's plenty on here who would snatch your hand off for that right now.

 

We don't have a leader or someone to grab the team by the scruff of the neck. All these players will hide up their own backside given the chance.

 

Whats Macca said on T'Radio then?

 

I think we're judging ourselves at League One standard, to be honest.

We're a dismal League One side, unbalanced and with positions unfilled.

But we're actually in League Two, where every side is unbalanced, everybody has positions unfilled, except maybe the two or three who get automatic promotion.

I'm a little bit worried, but I'm not apoplectic yet.

 

All I'll say is, we're definitely not weaker by trimming the fat.

But you're right that we don't look any stronger.

We finished 9th last season - but some are predicting a relegation struggle.

Again, until the nay sayers start making sense, we're going to remain at odds in terms of interpretations.

Also, we have all heard the excuses for the lack of transfer activity, so we don't need to keep restating it.

 

Listening to McCall on radio, He is absolutely delusional and clueless , Thinks we were unlucky

 

So far he seems to be listing all the players he's picked that are over 6 foot.

 

Lost to Beeston 2-1, still get ribbed by my out-laws about it to this day

 

"Right now" being the operative term, because there are plenty who consider last season a catastrophic failure.

Had we won 5-0 today, we'd be up by Christmas when in actuality we'd still have the same players and weaknesses.

I like your adjunct 'for balance', let's try to collectively keep some. Tonight is extremely worrying, but it's not the harvest (dismal or fantastic) that we're going to reap at the end of the season, it's one cup game.

 

We shouldn't have to be fixing fundamental problem a couple of weeks into season that should have been dealt with weeks, even months ago. Its the same pattern every time, reactive rather than proactive, burying our heads in the sand while expecting the kids to save us.

 

Stuart going nuts!
It's that word again "Shambles".

 

It happened to Notts county. Play offs one year. Relegated the next. Out of the football league
Same With is in league one. 90 minutes away from league one to relegated two season later dead last.

I can see if we don’t add to this squad, a Couple of injuries in key positions we could be in real trouble

 

We've been a re-active club since Parky left in June 2016 & have been on the back foot ever since.

 

Absolutely- we are so poor it’s unbelievable

 

it's not his fault.

 

Some good probing questions from the Radio Leeds reporter, not put off by McCall's defensive stance, especially over recruitment
