    Do we really give a toss?

    From reading about, and listening to, Adams I am really worried that we might have to take the "Everybody loves us" banner down.

    That would cross a line for me, and no doubt thousands of other members of the #bantamsfamily

    If we go up as champs, I won't give a 2nd thought who loves or hates us.

    Their chairman said there were three reasons why the thing was cancelled, KC.
    Out of contract players (75% of the team) had gone on holiday, Adams leaving and Covid.

    100% agree.
    Do you think the thousands of Morecambe(if it happened) and Plymouth fans who turned up for the open top bus promotion party give a toss about a “family club” label.
    I don’t think his teams are really classed as shithouses anyway.
    Other teams fans probably don’t like him as a manager but maybe it’s time we stopped being a soft touch anyway.
    Us football fans are very fickle and a winning team tends to cloud how bothered we are about what other fans think of our team.
    I personally can’t wait to be a bit more nasty and to stop lying down to have our bellies rubbed like we have done for the majority of the last few seasons.

    How many times in the past have we lost to a nasty team and said I would hate to watch that football every week ?

    Well folks, that's a lie. I'd take dirty, nasty, annoying football everyday if we go up as champions having won most matches 1.0

    I hope he makes us despised. The whole Bantamsfamily thing is bollocks. Time to start getting nasty, and maybe win for a change.

    Agree, we desperately need some steel in the middle (we need more than Levi Sutton). Come on City lets get nasty!

    To get back on topic;)
    The team that Parky had were no angels Jones, Doyle,McArdle,Davies,Hanson, McLaughlin they could all put themselves about and that was very much 4/5 seasons of us feeling like the Bantams family and we were happy to be addresed as that, why do we need to be despised to be successful.

    if Levi Sutton is still the driving force or our midfield then no matter who the manager is we won’t achieve our goal of going up,

    He’s a bench player at best.

    Spot on. We need a proper enforcer in there. Sango'o would do nicely. Or Diaragoua

    Why not both, Adams managed to accommodate both within his starting 11.

    Songo'o diagouraga watt and Sutton gives us alot more options in centre of park could rotate and keep all of them fresh. Get lavelle from morecambe too, then we have paudie, canavan, lavelle and staunton, FCD and sikora to cover centre back. Threlkeld at right back which FCD can cover too. A decent left back dunno who tbh and then 3 strikers 1 preferably horrible to play against Andy cook maybe and 2 mobile strikers to play around him maybe Stockton as one and maybe nadesan at Crawley or muldoon at harrogate?
