    High praise indeed from our expert scout, in pre-season Cole Stockton’s potential signing met with much more vitriol!!
    I believe Cole was dismissed as not being good enough for this club!
    So does @Fordy117@Fordy117 secretly think Elliott might be Ok or is he just getting soft in his old age?

    Nonsense.

    How the club progresses has absolutely zero to do with what anyone thinks of a player before he’s played. Guthrie, DMH, Robinson, if everyone had been praising them when they signed would they have actually been any better?

    I have no idea how Elliot will fit in City’s side, if he comes in, plays well and scores a few he’ll have proved every doubter wrong. That’s on him now.

    What’s holding the club back is having to rely on rubbish like DMH and Guthrie because of a badly run club and a disinterested owner.

    Starting again from scratch in june , get the football big book of bull shit cliches ready . They need a good pre season , time to bed in , time to "gel" , judge them at christmas , judge them at the end of the season , the manager needs at least four windows before we cast judgement , get behind the team , wait till you have seen them play , give the "lad" a chance , young and hunger players only , and if your do not like the players signed or the manager go support another team etc .

    We were told they had a plan to work from transfer window to transfer window and would always be ready when each window came round.

    That was scrapped after 2 windows (Jan and Summer last year) when we got rid of person we recruited to run it.

    Seriously there is no point anymore. Year after year we're told a pack of lies about budgets, kitty etc.

    Until we rid ourselves of the owner and find someone who will actually spend money building a team then we are stuck where we are which is a mid table league 2 team picking up league 2 cast off players.

    If Elliott gets on its imperative we have Vernam on the field and we get Ridehalgh up the pitch, both getting crosses in. Some of the balls Ridehalgh puts in are begging for a big old fashioned centre forward on the end of them.

    its not the signing we wanted but a signing we need. If we’re gonna play hoofball, we may as well bring in the calibre of player to accommodate that style of play

    He’s shite!

    Look, Sparks a disgraceful CEO

    Rupp is killing the club.

    Adams is a failure here.

    But let’s be all a set out mugs as fans.

    I wonder if the Swindon fans were asking the same about the stick Doyle got at Valley Parade, yet finish their top scorer firing them to promotion.

    Same old same old, blame the very people who have little control over what happens at Valley Parade.

    Doyle as a striker had a better scoring record though Bronco and was less of a risk.

    Somethings never change, your like a broken record sir.
    Who exactly do you think we should be signing and where is the money coming from.
    5 players in this window and 3 have already helped to gain points Bass, Walker , Daly
    Are these players playing for nothing .

    Having listened to the interview with Big T on BBC West Yorkshire sport sounds, he appears very confident of fitting into the team and getting onto crosses like those he saw at Valley Parade against Salford.
    He talks about promotion and emulating Bolton's run of last season.

    Not for Bradford City he didn't ;).
    Why fans take notice of fans from the club said player came from is beyond belief, as I posted Doyle did nothing at Valley Parade many blame the manager who's to say that wasn’t a similar situation at Salford, I'll not judge the lad until I see how Adams employs him in our set up.
