    When you have a crap keeper this is what happens… ok maybe the second goal he couldnt have done anything about it, but the fact we’ were already chasing the game was down to ROD.

    we cant score but then we concede silly goals.. crap keeper and poor striker

    This poor form isn’t purely down to ROD. We got panned by a team of 18 year olds midweek with a different goalkeeper. This run of form is deeper than that.

    You are a club from the 12th largest City in the UK. You were a Division 1 club in the early 1900s and you have won the FA Cup so you have some heritage. You have fairly recently been a Prem team. You get attendance (and the resources that brings) that even some Championship clubs would love to get. You absolutely should be on paper a championship or better club. I'm not sure there is a club in League 2 that's bigger, there aren't many in League 1 either

    Isn’t Bradford the 9th biggest City.

    Either way for Bradford City to be in div 2.. Not owning their ground or training ground is nothing short of failure!

    a few injuries to a couple of key players and the squad cant cope. Penny pinching at its best and its coming home to roost, Adams has a threadbare strike force force right now, a Port Vale squad player they couldnt wait to get rid of, signed on transfer deadline says it all.

    midfield seems to lack a real leader.

    Its gonna to take something special to turn this season round if the heads have dropped already.

    You aren’t wrong but we’ve been horribly mismanaged at times, not just now but way back to the 60’s and 70’s. If someone like Don Revie or Brian Clough had come here in the 60’s and given the club a kick up the backside we might have been something, but we’re failures just like the city has become. Now you are more reliant on off field success as well not just a decent manager, but again we fail time and time again.

    I think the October statements needs bringing forward and let us fans know just what is happening at our club, injuries happen without doubt that has effected the footballing side, but when someone who has been brought in to do a specific job leaves for no apparent reason things don't add up, over to you Mr Sparks or Mr Adams.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if the budget is still in the top half dozen, Mansfield, FGR, Salford and Tranmere are probably similar.

    Where is our next win coming from? Rochdale I hope at home next week but that won’t be easy.

    Just look at our games coming up and gulp.

    Wow that was yet again, absolutely terrible. Zero creativity in that team outside Callum Cooke and very little around him to allow him to effective. Poor decision making going forward and incredibly vulnerable at the back - significant amount of improvement required.
