    We are now the complete reverse of when Parky took over, instead of finishing higher each season we're finishing lower. And theres nothing in this team to suggest that trend will not continue next season. 4 seasons of utter shite, almost like karma punishing us to even out the good times we had in league 1. Truth now is we are just another average league two side who happen to have a big stadium and more fans than others.

    Agree on FGR, they had more shots and far more possession and corners. We scored 4 from our 5 shots on target you can’t rely on that every game. We were far better in our draw at Cambridge than FGR.

    If only today were the 9th of May so we could take solace from that. How does finishing 18th affect that average ?

    Fortunately, barring some freak scores in the last two games, we can't finish below 18th. :thumbup:

    But I don't see how that would impact on next season. Much will depend on who is in the manager's chair next year and how successful we are in recruiting a better squad for next season. Without some major improvements around the squad and a change in outlook and mindsets, I fear that this season's finish could be a high spot!

    Cambridge are the strange one. Adams fits the experienced Parky type role but isnt Bonners's background similar to T&S though not quite as swift ?

    Over 300 hundred league games according to the font of all knowledges that is Wikipedia. Doesnt mean you can't be a successful manager but most have either built up a career through being an assistant like Jose or Mark Warburton or non league like the Cowleys. Otherwise it's mainly players who have experienced playing in the football leagues. Its where Trueman could do with some experience alongside him, someone who has been there when the bad spells undoubtedly come along.

    Ha ha, I can relate to that. My selective ban limited to the match day thread was extended to a month for arguing. All I will say on the matter is its a good job the mods weren't the judge at the trial of the Birmingham six.

    And not to compare either with this Mark Bonnar, last seen in LOD https://www.bing.com/search?q=mark+bonnar&form=ANNTH1&refig=056237e90ee844cebbd6802715f790b8&sp=1&qs=EP&pq=mark+bonn&sk=PRES1&sc=8-9&cvid=056237e90ee844cebbd6802715f790b8#

    And? I would get him out.

    We need a new owner and one that brings in his own team.

    Bradford City need to restart at the top.

    Our CEO soundbites..

    Look, it goes without saying that its not easy. However, Rupp has shown zero interest in the club it seems since he took over. We need a new owner that will take this club seriously and one that will bring their own team in because this club is failing badly.
