Walsall Away 23rd February

cut anyone open and you'll only see claret. if you're seeing amber, get to the doctors asap.

 

I am sure you know what I mean Brisbane

 

Your welcome.
I was one of the last out of the away end and witnessed several different emotions at the final whistle.
From booing player's,having a go at the ref,clapping the players and abusive language towards the stewards just a few of todays fallout in the away end after defeat.
It goes without saying on another day and a win the feelings and reaction at the final whistle of 850 Bradfordians would and could have been so,so different.

 

So we're crying out for a wide player and we fail to bring one in because 'there are none available' or so it seems. Walsall pick up Matt Jarvis from Norwich, who had a decent game today. I know he hasn't played for god knows how long but has pedigree at playing at a higher level.

 

Ahhh classic. All the refs and stewards fault. Not an inept out of his depth manager.

 

twice in two season's we've capitulated at walsall

i do, but to be honest - i don't think that there is a single player that has every pulled on a bradford city shirt that wouldn't have jumped ship for more money or the move to a bigger and better club; it's previously been done by better and more 'loyal' players than the current squad. i mean it's easy for ex-players to say they ran through brick walls for the club on social media, in interviews and when they've been relatively successful with the club. singularly, put any of them in the current squad and they'd be looking to move on asap too.

infact, the only one i can really think of who stuck with the club through thick and thin and all the admins, relegations etc was david wetherall.

 

Who the frigging hell were clapping the players? Are they out of their minds?

Yup, perhaps was a bit of an emotive response and I take your point - I think today was a prime example of us needing a character to get hold of the game by the scruff of the neck when Walsall went down to 10 men and sounds like we actually did the opposite and allowed them to get a foothold in the game. Very disappointing day for the club, but we move on

 

You would have to ask each individual who attended todays game why they reacted the way they did before,during and after the game but it's evident to me any unity among the travelling support was destroyed long before they set foot in the Bescott stadium.
I have said it before our club and it's fanbase was dismantled in the summer after defeat at Wembley and it will take a minor miracle to get everyone singing from the same hymn sheet in our quest to hold on to League One status.
Many have thrown in the towel already.

 

Simon parker tweeted this -

Walsall had lost eight out of nine, five in a row, not won at home since December - and had their top scorer sent off after six minutes. Can't put any gloss on that …

 

Exactly!

While we brought in Butterfield and Clarke who are obviously NOTHING like anyone we already have in the squad!

Ridiculous!

We missed Jim O'Brien today. Someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck and just drag everyone along. No fighters in midfield at all and Akpan couldn't get on so I guess he's got no fight in him.

 

He's right.
We know.
How the feck will we get anything from Portsmouth, Luton or Peterborough???

If Luton play even half as well as they did at Kenilworth Road they'll dick us 3/4 nil.

 

Pray

 

if they got 3/4 we couldn't get 1.

 

So we have more misery to come? Relegation is not the only thing we can look forward too?

 

It's about time things were brought out into the open, whether by the club or by those in the know on this forum.

 

We didn't at Luton. We won't at VP.

It will be good for the 10k or so who turn up to watch a decent passing team like Luton pull us apart. They were very good at their spot and have steadily improved.

 

Admin next season. Unless Rupp pumps more in.

 

Well yes, we need to get rid of players contracts, so the club is not saddled with the Rahic Project!
