Harsh maybe on the lad himself, but we cannot afford to waste a penny of the budget on a player who came here with a well documented injury prone reputation and has continued with his injury woes here.
We have to be brutal this summer and get rid of most of the out of contract players, including Angol.
There is of course no guarantees with any player that we sign that they will be relatively injury free, but doesn't make sense to me to risk been bitten twice with Angol.
We already have another striker contracted for next season who looks more and more unfit looking as the season has progressed.

We've nothing about us. We must be the least mobile side in the league. We have no pace anywhere in the side. So even when we're neat and tidy, it goes nowhere because we can't get up the pitch or penetrate the opposition
Seriously, who's the quickest player in this side? There isn't anyone you'd describe as quick. Not one. And most are downright slow.
This season can't end soon enough. Big changes needed to this squad.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Inspector, ModernBantam, bailiff bridge bantam and 4 others like this. -

We looked a totally different team for the last half hour with Angol and Vernam on the pitch. Amazing how much better we can play with a striker who can control the ball and move more than a lump of wood (Cook) and a wide man who actually puts pressure on defenders in the final third rather than flattering to deceive in safe areas (Gilliead).

We were the better side in the last 20 mins. The subs helped us, because they brought a bit of pace and mobility into the side.
Cooke frustrates and I think the break at the end, and the poor pass to Vernam probably shows why Hughes isn't starting him.
Glass half full - lots of changes needed but if they're in the hunt for top 3, we can massively improve our chances with some smart recruitment in the summer.Stop hovering to collapse...

My last 'Away Day' of the season tomorrow (think it's 11 for the season). Corn Dolly trip. New ground. As usual over the last few seasons, probably a really good day spoiled by the football!!

By the way I'm not comparing Hughes with Adams or Bowyer, McCall, Grayson et al
But I'm inclined to say, all good managers with good track records all have failed at Bradford. One constant...JonButterfield, ModernBantam, WilsdenBantam and 2 others like this. -

Cook didn't win a single contested header first half. A lump of wood would be no less useful.
