Why whats he said now to say he's touchy, because Kenny Black took the post match interview ?

 

He's a nice guy and I have a lot of time for him but he needs to get with the times that things are more scrutinised with social media.

 

He's been tetchy all season.

 

He can’t believe after winning 3 1 playing 433 the dinosaurs are out calling for us to play 442

 

I thought he didn't pay attention to Twitter though? It's part and parcel of the game anyway.

 

I cant see how that performance can be defended for me it's not a matter of we used to play them pre-season or where they have come from, they needed respecting for being where they are league two opposition on a par with ourselves.
I and others commented about the way they took Bolton apart second half without getting the equaliser, you'd think Stuart & Kenny would have done their home work especially as our game with Grimsby that day had be postponed.
It wasnt a matter of Harrogate having a 20 minute purple patch, they bossed the first half, just what did Stuart say to the team at half time, I'll always support the manager but Stuart doesn't help himself at times, I was a little disappointed post match against Mansfield that he let Kenny do the interview surely it would have given him a chance to voice his opinion with regards the Harrogate game after a few days reflection.
Years ago fans didnt have the means of voicing their opinions today is a different world and although there will be a few who go completely OTT very few could defend that performance to his and the squads credit they've started to put it right the only way they can on the football pitch.
Unfortunately with Covid we couldnt get to Mansfield and "get behind the lads" but if we could I'm sure there would have been a travelling army of Bradford City fans cheering the team on.

 

I think he was right as with just about every defeat these days there is a massive over reaction.

 

At least it's early days yet and all is not lost. Plenty to play for..then we judge.

 

As McCall has himself publicly admitted to for the Harrogate game.

 

this was the team for Harrogate. O’Connor returned after suspension Guthrie was replaced by Donaldson most people wanted him moved out and new signing Evans came in who can play right across midfield. All the players in this team were in familiar positions

Even Stuart has admitted the formation and system was wrong but you carry on defending it Park if it makes you feel better.

 

If you look at that team he put out what changes would have made a difference. I very much suspect we would have lost that game with whatever personal on the night.

 

But we beat Stevenage with a decent performance with the same system Harrogate played well with the extra Edge. playing 442 leaves the midfield weakened I doubt on the night the result would have been different. But I agree a bit of extra width from the bench would have been worthwhile

 

I care actually because it's an indicator of how far we've now fallen when the bloody hooligans from bettys tea room are better than us. And not just by a bit, they bossed that game by a lot. fair play to them but the performance was embarrassing

 

Barrow 3 - 1 Bolton,

Sacked in the morning you're getting sacked in the morning.

 

Had a look at free agents, strikers there are still a number of decent options available. Wingers is a different story, seemingly not that many left who were released by EFL clubs in the summer who would come in and do a job.

Tom Pett, 28 year old wingers who can play both sides, mainly left mid. Barely played last season with only 7 games for Lincoln but was in 44 of the 46 league games in Lincolns L2 promotion season.

Ickehi Anya, looks to have been on trial at Swindon. 32 now, left mid and left back option but has had some bad injuries.

Paul Anderson, promoted with Northampton last season playing more central than on the right. Former city player so instantly ticks McCalls scouting system.

Reggie Lambe, 29 year old winger was part of the clear out at Cambridge. We looked at him once before with McCall summer 2016, he was on trial here and played one friendly before being signed by Carlisle.

Fil Morais, dont really need to explain. 34 now, only completed 90 minutes 5 times in the last 18 months. Looks like he might be done with EFL football in terms of a being an impact player.

 

McCall stated his intentions and views regarding free agents last week. He clearly thinks that they lack desire to play and probably unfit now. He is too stubborn to go back on that you would suspect, even if a player/agent threw themselves at us now.

January it will be, and either another young loan striker or someone not wanted by their club such as Guthrie
