    Sadly, I agree.

    We must have scored 5 or 6 goals since Christmas that I haven't even stood up for, let alone cheered.

    Some of them I have, of course, but not all of them.

    I certainly don't get upset when we concede anymore.

    It's baffling watching people get angry about it.

    I don't get it, lads. I thought we'd score about six or seven in the last ten mins when only the proper fans were left innit.

    I must hold back in what I have to say because I am bloody angry after that.

    How can we still be anywhere near still getting 7th mathematically (no I don't think we will) but our home form and only 7 points adrift with 2 games in hand terrible.

    Radio Leeds saying the offer is there for our proud custodian to speak to them any time, says it all really.

    He was the root cause for that starting 11, for that alone he deserves all he gets.

    Its A Bantam Thing

    :joy::joy::joy: :sob::weary_face::sob:

    Sign me up for a season ticket if this is what is on offer

    At least the absent owner wasn't here to see this
    O Hello
    :joy::joy:
    Wearing a bright red cap an' all, attention seeker
    Was the club shop out of city hats?

    Have no idea why Alexander keeps getting the sack in football,
    Well i do, two right backs left on the bench and Gilliead played instead,weakening the midfield as the Stags ran riot early and often.
    Cookie benched as well
    Needs to follow rupp and sparks out the door pronto.

    MOTM ?
    Brad Halliday for me, for obvious reasons today

    Tinpot effort all round
    But at least it is sustainable
    For Now :unsure:

    Some quite angry scenes in upper kop with fans squaring up to each other. Toxic atmosphere around the ground as well. Saw someone actually shaking Rupps hand. Probably @Park bantam@Park bantam reminding Rupp what a loyal and commited fan looks like. Won’t be many there Tuesday.

    Today was totally unacceptable obviously but I don't think any combination of players what we have could of got a result today. Big clearout and start again required.

    That could and should have been 10 goals to them.

    We were woeful!

    @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler if you really are a fan of this club then tell Ryan Sparks to do the right thing and resign.

    Sigh. Sadly true though.

    Interestingly, Aden Flint also played in the 0-6 loss against Bristol City back in 2015. Even more interesting are the players in the Bristol City team that day... James Tavernier, Luke Ayling, and Joe Bryan, to name a few. All went on to better things than League One!

    Today, we got smashed by a very good League Two team built predominately on experienced League Two players! Clough has always been a decent-ish League One/Two manager and has built a team over time with cohesion. Something we can only dream about.

    Just goes to show how crap this league is and how promotion was there for the taking had we just strengthened what we had in the summer with the addition of a handful of quality players like Stockport have done.

    Ask him?

    The way he acts! No!

    Isn’t it funny those that wanted Edin out internally did everything they could but when it’s clear Sparks and Rupp are ruining this club then they do nothing!! NOTHING!

    Even on here good posters are tearing into each other.

    The sarcastic comments from the 'uber fans' has been unnecessary poison in the well, but now both sides having a go and getting personal and tagging others.

    Very, very sad to see.

    Rupp and Sparks have torn this club apart and I pray they leave it in tatters for someone else to fix, because they ain't turning it around on a reduced budget with their nonchalance and complacency.

    His tactics and team selection is bonkers at times he’s cost us points with these decisions.

    I think he would do a great job given backing and money to get the right squad together but he’will only be allowed to play lucky dip in the shit pool.

    overlooking Bobby is criminal when he clearly can and something to the team and there is a long list of decisions in team selection and playing badly due to that.

    parky got a tune out of a pretty lame squad but we had an identity

    I'd suggest with 60 years of watching Bradford City he could be classed as a fan don't you ?.
