    If anyone thinks Bradford City fans will give Adams 3 years to build while we are in Div 2 then they are on hardcore drugs.

    If we're mid table by the end of September there'll be plenty clamouring for him to go...

    24 in squad. He will like and dislike what he sees in pre season training. I expect 6 more ins and outs before August. This will be a successful team but remember Boltonladt year. Crap til Jan and then brilliant til the end.

    Only because they figured out how to play Doyle but I get your point.

    I think some players will be leaving shortly.

    I think a bit of patience required. Bolton a case in point. As long as we are not languishing near the bottom then Adams will get at least a couple of seasons to take us up.

    Think our own history can better that. 1998/99(we had a lot of new players still to gel together) we were 22nd after 6 games. We then had a good run and by the end of September(10 games) we were 16th on 14 points. The run then continued to the end of the season.

    I dont think anybody is safe. If a suitable offer came in for any player I think it would be accepted. There is nobody in that squad from last season that would scupper our chances.

    I think 1 or 2 could be told to move on though

    I am not sure of the age of all the players in the current squad, but the current EFL rules in respect of the squad size are, ‘…
    (ii) in Season 2021/22 and each subsequent Season, 20 Players of which a minimum of 8 must be a Home Grown Player’. EFL Squad Lists; Regulation 43.9.1 (b) https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/section-6---players/
    However the limitations do not apply to players who are Under 21.

    So suggestions that we will have a ‘small’ number in our squad, seem wide of the mark.

    Biggest myth ever this 'how to play Doyle' lark.

    More about having the right players around him. Doyle only does Doyle, how he plays never changes.

    Call it what you like.

    Bolton got the best out of Doyle and learnt to play his why which sent them up.

    Well I've seen him do that, albeit at semi-pro level, and that certainly used to be a big part of his game when he was scoring for fun at that level. It'll be interesting to see how he is used at City.

    Fair points. But TBF, I’m not convinced this squad is currently capable of finishing in the top 7 let alone top3. As you said, we lack quality (especially up front)

    When was he “scoring for fun” at that level? Are you talking about his 1 prolific season at Boreham Wood in 2014/15, when he was 20-21? And in the 7yrs since?

    Sorry Dennis, what did I do wrong? My veil is slipping? I just pointed out that Fordy had reversed his original comment. I wasn’t meaning to be argumentative; just posting he had changed his tune (which he’s since agreed with).

    Not seen a lot of him since the Billy Knott Twitter spat. Still a bit of a Twit in the T&A but seems to have gone quiet there too.
