    I agree. Hard to blame RoD for that one.

    Look it is our inability to control the game, play with pace and urgency, and really test the opposition keeper.
    Blaming R’OD is pretty poor. If Hornby had played and been marvellous we would still have failed to score.
    Goals scored, win games!

    Look , Trueman and Sellars are league two youth coaches, thank you lads but we need better. If we have them next season it coul'd be goodbye Bradford City.

    Job done for T&S but where to next. So much promise and yet even with new blood and a Head of Recruitment, we have an unbalanced squad playing dumb football. Where ever you look there are now even more questions than answers.
    THIS was the game to really get it right and we fell way short. A pattern has developed which is worrying..bitterly disappointing.

    Bottled it. Such a frustrating performance.

    Sorry, Rowe is not the man to lead our line. He’s maverick. Not mobile enough. Cook is better.

    ROD is awful.

    FCD switched off for opener and is still very raw. Would prefer AOC there.

    if Donaldson scores its a different end but he didn’t.

    their keeper made two great saves tbf but no complaints. Not good enough.

    Rowe benched on Sat please.

    As much as it pains me to say, tonight signifies THE END of our season. A successful one at that, we were very very lucky not to be RELEGATED - let’s not forget that! Not good enough lads, sorry!

    Everyone still blaming O'Donnell and yet again Paudie gets a free ride. The bloke wouldn't know how to mark someone even if he had a felt tip in his pocket and most of you lot wanted him captain just because he puts in a few out of control challenges?

    That defence needs a complete overhaul, especially the two right sided ones.

    T&S are going to have to shoulder some of the blame for these now.

    Rowe is not a target man so don’t lump it up to him.
    Midfield is pedestrian without Sutton
    Cook is our best goal poacher/scorer
    ROD has been poor over the season and a poor skipper and our best form was when he was out of the side.

    We can't play Rowe and hoof it up the pitch. Same as was for Doyle.

    Problem is O'Donnell and Paudie love a hoof and until Sutton is back full time our midfield isn't strong enough to pass the ball around.

    Not only Finn, but Watt and Scales are also young. Wood too really.

    Summer window is needed to get the right players in.

    I have to agree with this. I prefer Hornby to RoD but its not our only issue that needs addressing for next season. I'm afraid that I increasingly look at the manner of our performances and question the coaching. Yes, we need more quality in the squad, but I think many of our results under T&S have flattered when compared to performances.

    You're right, he doesn't. If his opponent isn't close enough that he can pull him and drag him then Paudie doesn't have a chance!

    I don't get these "Rowe is not a target man" comments. He's a big unit. He's slow. He seems decent at holding up the ball and getting flicks ons. If that's not a target man, I don't know what is. One thing for sure, he's not a fox in box, a poacher or a direct running centre forward!

    Not knee jerk.That was played out like a pre season friendly.
    We didn't want it from the off.
    So pedestrian in our approach, frustrating and in my opinion an embarrassing performance.

    Self inflicted by T&S picking a poor side and not changing it as soon it was obvious we were second best even after 10 minutes, Not good enough
