    McCall said he wanted to keep DMH.

    Me,i would get rid of them all apart from Wood and maybe Vaughan.

    However, I will flip the question out on you because you are the one that praises the team every match. Giving a bit of Reeves love in for example. I mean you even praise Guthrie for crying out loud who is utter dog.

    So now you are saying our squad from last season wasn't good enough? Am I right?

    I never praised Guthrie all I said one game isn’t enough if you look at other teams like Scunthorpe or Exeter and they were shedding players they wanted to keep even before the salary cap was mentioned

    Fair bit of rumours around today for our league. Bolton seem to be in for Eoin Doyle and Jay spearing. Swindon can’t match the Doyle offer at the minute. Where has all Bolton’s money come from? Seem to be going for it.

    Carlisle in for Devitt. Etc.

    I wonder if we have been given an indication of when the league will start judging by all these clubs now in for players?

    It would be nice to hear at least something from the club in terms of go forward. I know things are uncertain at the moment but that hasn't stopped other clubs going about business. Heck we're not even getting mentioned in the rumour mill.

    The rest of league 2 are getting on with It now whereas we’re lining up excuse after excuse in the T and A.

    You know we only scrape the bottom of the barrel with two weeks to go! Wouldn’t be Bradford City otherwise!

    They've known for weeks it will be late August/early september and were given dates of 29th August/12th September at the meeting last week. We just look unprepared as usual.

    Agree fully with you all.
    It’s looking like we will be at back of the queue in the bargain bin again. Rhodes needs to be moved off of any negotiations and with money being tight we’d be better hiring a director of football to sort out transfers for us. With McCall’s blessing

    When you say the rest of league 2 are getting on with it. I have only seen FGR and Mansfield announce any signings so far. I presume I must have missed all the other signings made then?

    So far I think Crawley, Forest green, Crewe (promoted), Stevenage (relegated) and Mansfield made new signings. bolton appointed new manager paying compo.

    4 teams involved in play offs until last week so they will start to get the ball rolling now.

    Don’t let that get in the way of a moan as much as six weeks ago Stuart said he had been talking to players signings will come when the club come off Furlough

    friend of the family is on the coaching staff at another EFL club. Was told by his club/EFL on Friday to prepare for a Sept 12th restart.Guess there is always A good chance of that changing again though should the numbers pick up again. So who knows!

    So I just missed the mighty Crawley signing then from league 2. As I quoted Tolly, barely anyone as made a signing in our league, but he was making it out we were getting left behind everyone else

    Well it certainly won't be the most expansive shopping list in our case.

    I think fans are rightfully nervous with the previous shambles of a window, The noise coming from the press interviews, our lack of speed in dealing with refund and with the way our season just fell off of a cliff after Xmas last season.

    Lack of speed in dealing with refunds for the 5% I don’t think so they came up with something for every one refunds for the tiny minority a chance to put it in to charity or for the shop or towards a season ticket nobody can argue about that..
    The noises coming from Stuart is we have identified targets and once the furlough is finished signings will be made which is the way it should be

    You can add Sunderland to that list.

    The lack of any activity has Bradford City written all over it, we would be foolish to expect anything else...
