Adams & Sparks out!

Cheers for the positive responses guys. Another point worth making is that Adams had half a season to really see which players would work well under him and what areas of the squad needed revamping. He even had a couple of months before January to see what needed immediate attention.

For example, he had time to see Mendes-Gomes rip it up in training for a few weeks and absolutely smash it in a few reserve games before putting him into the first team.

Would have been difficult still as he was trying to grind results out of a team in free-fall at the time, but that extra bit of time to weigh the squad up properly would have been pretty valuable.

 

Like how Sparks is liking the tweets slagging him off. That will certainly wind up some of the posters

 

Yep, I really miss the glory days of 2007-2011 under Lawn's direction. Those were true Bradford City teams.

 

Responded with utter nonsense yet again.

 

Just leaving this here….

Suggests we could be second.

Highest xG for GF in the division. We are crying out for a quality striker to convert the chances.

 

But that needs a quality striker. And they don't come cheap. If you are signing ones other clubs don't want its not rocket science to predict it will go tits up.

 

Oh yes, never knowing if we needed to turn up at VP or Odsal or if Lawn had sold the seat out from under us and leased it back.

 

Yep. It’s progress of sorts though as we didn’t create these chances last year and fared poorly on xG graphs.

We need a reliable finisher - only realistic hope now is to take a young kid on loan and pray he’s a decent finisher? Tough situation to rectify

 

Undermined by also having a shite defence and keeper.

 

Yes.

is crisp packet hands out of contract in the summer?

 

So what happens if Adams walks or gets sacked? He’s been appointed to make changes in all departments.. What about if the next manager wants to implement his own ideas?
The clubs structure shouldn’t just be designed by the current manager.

 

I full agree. It will be a massive mistake by the club. Huge!

 

Adams doesn't do young or loans

 

Can we afford otherwise now though?!

 

Ah well that's simple. When it goes tits up, we'll give Stuart McCall a ring and ask him to help out. And when that turns to shit, we'll decide its time to think about the long term, we'll hire a DoF type or recruitment director and decide that Trueman has acquired the experience to come in as a modern, forward thinking coach. Then, when that goes to the wall, we'll bin off the recruitment director and hire an old school manager to run the job lot and sign a few 6'4 shit houses who run around a lot. Then when it doesn't work, we'll give Stuart a call....

 

Our recent history does feel like groundhog day.

 

Our CEO is extremely quiet last week or so after being so vociferous for ages. Keep us still informed please even when times are bad.
