    Not going to 'happy clap' this performance

    Why Bowyer thinks that Henley can play as a wing-back defies logic, given the evidence he's surely seen in that system. And that then means we start the match set up wrong

    However, let's see what the remaining matches this month bring us and of course the new players. I think a manager has to be given that chance - given we are only a point outside the playoffs

    One of the goals was down to him, can’t remember it is all a blur

    Couldn't agree more. Pointed this out before and amazed we haven't gone for some kind of enforcer in the window

    As we haven't he may as well throw caution to the wind, i.e. play like a McCall team would, as the defence has no protection, but we've not got plenty of creative players

    This means abandoning 3 at the back or been bold enough to dump Henley and play anyone else at RB

    I supported Bowyer on performances when we were hard to score against. We clearly aren't now

    Another shocking interview, never Bowyers fault...

    Absolute fraud, guaranteeing the new players WILL make a difference.. guess that’s going to be his token statement in the de brief with JR (if we’re even professional enough to have one).

    oh god....rolling eyes. Ridiculous...absolutely ridiculous. why not Paul Jewell Bradford Army, Parkinsons Bradford Army? going even further back....Trevor Cherrys Bradford Army

    This fascination with Stuart McCall could, no doubt, occupy a 'trick cyclist' for some time :)

    Like it or not, McCall will be back here some day. Seems as sensible a time to have that conversation as any.

    I think to date he's been given every chance under his guidance are the team suddenly going to start tackling passing the ball to one another moving off the ball and God forgive shooting I doubt it very much . We'll be here again next week saying the same thing.

    Certainly justifies getting rid of Vaughan and Doyle, we lost just as well without them.

    The fascination with McCall is the fact that he might fail but he'd have a good go at trying to succeed.

    Maybe because he got us within a whisker of the championship and we played some good football. Not saying it is the right solution but we need something to get this squad and the supporter base going. Urgently.

    absolutely sick of this constant failure, there can’t be many more depressing clubs to follow right now than bradford city. It’s all be said before now, our history, past mistakes, but WOW this is close to the pits and you wonder if we could go out of business the way things are and with Rhodes in control.

    Well, let's be honest, they would have made no difference to today's result. We would still have lost.

    Lets not forget the circumstances that both parky and McCall left under. One jumped when he saw the danger, the other was pushed despite our best league performance in well over a decade.

    Wow. Didn’t go today and not bothered to read the comments. But I don’t need to when we lose 3-0 to a team who looked appalling at the start of the season. We’re done. We need change now for the future or it’ll be another 6+ years down here.

    Even better.

    We were out of sight much faster today than ever before.

    Bowyer said in his interview he wanted to get back to the Cheltenham performance. Same spirit and fight. That’s the one where although we were down to 10 men, we had 23% possession and other than scoring a soft penalty, we had one attempt on target. That’ll do it Gary!!
