Hopkin

Maybe today but the fans have been behind this squad vocally at home every game, you must be at different games to me, Hopkin actually said the fans were great against Sunderland, nothing toxic during that good battle of two teams.

 

When Rochdale scored their first the We want Edin out chant started. Prior to that nothing.

Was quite toxic after Miller messed up that 1 on 1 at kop end and the boos started. Should have buried it. Instead tippy tapped it just like he did in the first half. Put your laces through it lad!!!

 

A striker on top of his game would have done that for fun, I could only follow on the forum and BBC web site and the states were dire74% to Rochdale first half and as the game went on the states turned the other way 56% to City so it looked like we were becoming stronger only for us to capitulate in the last 10 minutes or so.

 

In 3 years valley parade will be a German Supermarket, probably ALDI.
Rahic will be on the checkouts. Rupp shelf stacking and Abbot walking around with a large sign saying “ Spaces”
Seriously and unfortunately it will have to get worse before it gets better. If we stay up the Germans will take all the credit and carry on with this Monty Python sketch called “football management in Bavaria is vuderbar”

 

I very much want Edin Out. But the chants straight after the first goal were tin pot. If you're going to do it, do it at the start of the game and show a bit of principle. Or even at the end. But as it was, it just sounded childish and amateur. Which I suppose is quite fitting.

 

I am not disagreeing but they at least tried to express their anger and pain. It needs organisation and without it, like everything else round VP at the moment a complete shambles.

1. A rally/meeting/ to get everyone interest.
2. A concentrated media campaign, twitter and Facebook etc.,
3. Organising the press for photos and interviews,
4. Posters and leaflets etc.,

Then we need a set of values simple understandings of the protest and what we are trying to achieve.

1. Games will be organised protests, songs, etc at specific times.
2. Meetings of supporters to discuss objectives and how much progress or not is being made.

Spontaneous protests just end up being weak as nobody knows what is going on, and others may never have protested before.

 

Only place to hit them is in the pocket
Everyone should not turn up on Tuesday empty stands speak louder than words and would gain publicity
Thus affecting whatever anyone would spend in the ground on the night
They already have our season ticket money why give them anymore
I have read on here it would "affect" the players but they don't seem too bothered when the crowd gets behind them either

 

He didn’t play 3 at the back yesterday.

 

If as folks say, Doyle went for a stroll in the park
You can understand why Kai was picked for games
Effort goes a long way

 

Despite the shite he has inherited, Hopkin is doing himself no favours persisting with playing hoofball to a set of strikers who cannot win a header between them. It's dire to watch, and so ineffective.
His post match interviews are just groundhog day rantings. He is just ignoring his own persistent statements of ' I will not accept this anymore'.
I know people will say he has been handed a squad so poor it's embarrassing, but why keep saying he won't accept performances and constant defensive errors after each game when he knows he cannot do anything about it until perhaps it's too late in January.
Simply put, he is doing no better than Collins did with the dross recruited by Abbo and Rahic.

 

You would think that there is plenty to 'coach' but we are not seeing any signs of this.Worrying indeed.

 

Spot on Idle
DH is a manager with not a lot of experience
Ok he did well with Livingston with successive promotions but what standard is that. akin to our conference league I would imagine and they aren't doing too badly this season without him
He surely must have known what he was walking into with us
You are right he has nothing to work with lets hope he has been promised (and will get) funds in January and that was why he accepted the job otherwise I can see us becoming a blot on his CV

 

From the T&A match report David Hopkin said
“We then conceded a very soft penalty. You can’t let players pick the ball up and run 10 yards at your three centre halves."

 

I'd prefer not spending anything in the ground/shop etc. That way, 'Bradford City football club' is still supported, the owners, however, are not.

 

I think that is already happening.

 

I agree. Whilst we probably don't have the quality in defence to stop leaking chances as we are doing, we have enough quality upfront to be doing much better than we are in that department. Payne, Ball, Scannell, Doyle would get into most if not all sides in this division.
