    It’s interesting how most of the teams that were praised on here for their recruitment are struggling.

    Indeed. But how does that affect Bradford City?

    Concentrate on Bradford City!

    Stop deflecting. Bradford City are not good enough to laugh at others.

    It's also noted that city didnt plan. Or expected a back door to the "then" non existent budget cap.
    And as a result recruitment has been f**king shocking.

    A club ambassador, may well be a reasonable role. Respecting his commitment to the club. Southampton have Laurie McMenemy and Manchester United Bobby Charlton, so it would be something to move onto.

    Agree with this. I couldn’t care less about: Mansfield, Tranmere, Bolton or indeed Salford, all of whom were lauded for their signings on here.

    The only club I am bothered about, is Bradford City.

    I have no idea what relevance that has to our plight. You are really struggling to come up with a defence or come up with any reason how we are going to turn this around

    I feel sure that the full stop was an error.

    It's because he's just a keeps trying to wind people up and that's his main aim.

    We don’t need to live in the past and give failed managers cushy meaningless jobs. Stuart and Bradford City need a break from each other.

    It's true though when you learn to tell it how it really is then I might change my mind but you want to just wind people up.

    It was another abject display, but it was also predictable. Stuart and several players have been speaking in the media this week, citing the need for ‘consistency’. Consistency isn’t a problem - it’s quality that’s the issue. Our performances have been consistently poor since the season kicked off. We continue to give away cheap goals, we defend and attack set pieces poorly, the same lack of bite in midfield pervades, we lack in pace and we lack in creativity and quality up front. It’s the same every game.

    The club clearly approached this season on the basis of survival; its disappointing, if not surprising that we limited our thinking to such an extent. But even so, the club needs to examine whether its assumption that enough has been done to build a ‘safe squad’, is valid. Because we look every inch a relegation side. Not just in terms of quality, but also in the lack of character and leadership on display, the lack of fight and the soft underbelly that means as soon as we go behind, things fall apart. We’re completely lacking in resilience.

    Interesting comments from the Tranmere chairman after sacking their manager:

    "This is a season which could still yet be shortened due to Covid so we do not have the luxury of time to turn things around."

    I'm not saying we should swing the axe now, but we can't afford to spend even a single week in the relegation zone this season because it could quite literally end at any given moment. If we look like being in a relegation battle then we need to be decisive.

    I'd think we all care about Bradford City but there were posters on here telling all what good signings Tranmere and Mansfield were making, condemning City for not doing the same before the transfer cap was introduced.
