Match Thread Bradford City V Newport County Saturday 24/10/2020

Agreed Rhodes and Rupp need to go.
But, unfortunately, that needs someone to stump up some cash to buy them out.
Can you seriously see that happening after today's pile of ***** ?

PS If I bring my garden shears to your Repair Shop, can you sharpen them ?

 

We are just hitting new lows after new lows now. 0-3 at home to Newport and 0-1 at home to Harrogate in league matches is nothing short but a disgrace.

If we are not careful we’re going to be fighting to stay in the football league this season.

 

Here ya go had to have a listen and watch as Ifollow packed up at half time.

I didn’t want him back. He is here because he is cheap and loves city.....

 

Lucky bastard.

 

Biggest YES man at the club, just follows SM from job to job.

 

Let’s not beat about the bush for goodness sake. The vast majority of the squad is just not good enough for one reason or another. The forward line are slow mainly due to age and couldn’t score in a bloody brothel. The defensive is embarrassing at times . Younger players are raw and need more game time and better management. Stuart is and will always be a legend but coming back for a third time is just ridiculous in my opinion. Assistant manger says bugger all on the bench and Stuart seems to prefer to be in the stands. How does that work ? Understand we are all in strange times but player recruitment has been a complete disaster imo. We seem to be a club with no ambition on or off the field and really don’t understand why this is ? Also the players seem unfit. compared to other teams that we play ? I can’t see any improvements unfortunately with this bunch of players and management

 

Bring back Drury! Hahaha. Shuddder. But in fairness, KB seems to be no bigger influence than Martin was. I'd like the post match interviewer to ask Smc why he stands up in the stands, rather than pitchside next to his "assistant". Doesn't make sense to me at all. I can understand possibly the view is better, but is the communication with his backroom team and players? Weird.

 

The John Kane show is on Radio Sheffield but not Radio Leeds any longer - who knows why? Agree with the comments on city btw.

 

Exactly. .

 

It is a big ask to go to Bolton and win in the state we are in.

 

Nah.

 

No

 

we have a habit of going to places who are doing really badly and they start their comeback after kicking us into touch

 

They got a decent draw today. Was their first win recent too?

I think they're just a bit naff. 3 1 this time.

 

Delete the last bit and insert 'Was unemployed'.

 

The club was hardly going to pay compo to get a new manager in were they?

 

Yes seems that way, once again Stuart saying he had to match the opposition up they are a good side who have been together for a couple of years, I do believe that helps but we are where we are, once again the question has got to be asked, he had DMH available (yes I've criticised him as much as anyone) and Donaldson and Pritchard, so why the wholesale changes of players and formation.
He said the buck stops with him he got it wrong don't think many will disagree with that comment, it is still early days as yet but he needs to stop tinkering get the best formation for the players he has disposal who he feels are capable of changing if required with the players sat on the bench, a big test in Tuesday night most will see that fixture as winnable as Bolton have hardly bossed the league.

 

No problem Tom bring your shears to sharpen,then we can cut the cord at the top.

 

I don't think Simon Ramsden and Omar Daley played 15 games between them in 2010-2011. I'd say BRE and Luke Oliver are about even. I wouldn't play Jake Speight over my 95 year old grandma.

Twenty quid says this team finishes higher in the table than we did in the 2010-2011 or 2011-2012 season?

Edit: I'm happy to donate the winnings to charity/the burns unit, not sure on the process though if anyone takes me up on the bet?
