    Awful is a level above us tbf, I thought they were average but better than us. Both sides contributed to it being a dull game of football. The ball spent most the game dead I’ve never seen so many throws in a match.

    This is the thing, our squad isn’t even that bad. Any decent manager worth half his salt would have this lot playing a damn sight better than they are. He’s tactically clueless and has no idea how to get the best out of them, he only knows 1 method of playing. And it’s shite

    Right. I want Adams out as much as anyone, but when having a go at the fans he did refer to one relevant incident. When he subbed Walker, who was havivg a poor game and was clearly carrying an injury as he hobbled off, what the feck is the point in chanting "you don't know what you're doing". Imagine the melt down if he had kept him in and it changed into a season ending injury.
    Now I've got that off my chest...ADAMS OUT

    Adams is one of most deluded managers we've ever had.

    Always talks like he's better than us.

    Again today him saying I took a risk and came from a league one club to come to this league two club.

    Sorry no one held a gun to your head and made you come here.

    As though saying you should just be grateful I'm here regardless of the utter garbage game after game.

    It just sums up the problem. Fans have become so used to him making one bad decision after another, they can be forgiven for failing to spot the occasional good decision.

    I thought they were one of the better sides we've played at VP and class above the shite we've been playing the last month or two.

    We do unfortunatly I'm not sure the way we're going I’ll be seeing Championship football again in my life time.
    I've tried to be positive but it looks like once again the starting 11 couldn't produce, I'm not a lover of changing managers every time thing are bad but someone needs to get this situation sorted even if it means getting the players, footballing staff, non footballing staff together and tell it as it is something is obviously wrong down at Valley Parade.

    Well how bad was that. A game we had to win and we showed no desire to actually achieve that.
    I did not think Exeter were that much better than us football wise. What they were , was organised , determined and actually had a game plan and stuck to it, including the time wasting by the keeper in the first half.
    If Mr Adams is the answer, i have not got a clue what the question is.
    The most self opiniated man i have heard.

    I did say he was feeling his hamstring or groin from early in the second half against Stevenage.

    Adams and whoever else can say what he wants but he's clearly not fit because he can't complete 90 minutes.

    It must be a tactic, Wilsden, because even at Stevenage I was asking the guys next to me if they felt the throw ins and corners were taking ages. Its like we're always trying to slow the game down. I don't remember waiting so long for throw ins and corners to be taken before. We seem happy to not have the ball in play.

    Did Adams have an assistant with him at Ross County ,Plymouth and Morcambe??
    At the time he was appointed I (along with many others I suspect) thought he was a genuine manager with a great record.
    Six months later he has become incompetent and deluded , what is different at Bradford?

    Today is the sixth home game we've not bothered going to bantamlad92.
    November 20th v. Northampton Town was the last time we set foot in VP.
    Can't see us going anytime soon, sick of leaving VP utterly pissed off.
    There'll have to be a massive improvement both on and off the field before we go again, the club are welcome to our season ticket money for this season, but they won't be getting any more as yet.
    This is not the Bradford City FC that I know, love or remember - no fight, passion, drive or ambition.

    I wasn’t talking about how quickly they were taken though more that the ball just kept going out of play by both sides, misplaced passes, terrible clearances and goal kicks etc. Exeter were slow at taking everything as well. Feels like peoples standards have seriously dropped if that Exeter team are impressive, they were above us but I’d expect the dog and duck to be playing like that.

    At worst all Adams had to do was lay the basis of a team worthy of moving up and eventually out of this division. He has failed miserably and has to go. His PR has to be the worst ever and is an insult to the Club and its supporters. Sparks has to get to grips and bring in someone to sort this Club out and Adams has to be part of the collateral damage.
