    Think we've to go shopping no matter what.

    I'm extremely disappointed our midfield is so weak.

    Agreed.

    The first player dropped has to be Doyle, still yet to have a good game in a City shirt in any position.

    What a poor player.

    Great..... already booked train tickets. Due to arrive at 12.51pm. Plenty of time for normal kick off .Will now miss the start of the game. They do not think about the common supporter at all.

    Thats pretty much how i saw it, i can't remember any other effort on goal. We had a greater possession but Cambridge were easily worth their point, we didn't do nearly enough to win the game.

    I think what happened on Saturday was pretty much predicted as to what most people thought would happen as soon as they saw the team sheet. The back four looked strong against somewhat limited opposition, the front two showed patches of what they are capable of given good service. The midfield look pretty weak. Hoping Bowyer will address this and never play Doyle in the '10' role again.

    We’ve looked better after Scannell and Devine came on. Not good, but better. More balanced.

    This nonsense lineup from the last two games has to stop. And please, no more Anderson in any position.

    We’re not allowed to question Bowyer and his tactics though. “It’s only the 2nd game FFS”, so even though we can see it isn’t working playing 4-3-3 with the players we have, we can’t speak out or if we do, we get called negative...!

    Get PP back
    Ruthless 442 is the only way to be successful in league 2. Bowyer too arrogant to change it.
    How isn't Scannell starting?

    I agree. I'm not AOC's biggest fan by a long way but on his 2 league performances so far, he doesn't deserve to be dropped when POC comes back into the back four. As things stand with what we've got, I think he's our best option for central mid alongside Palmer, and I'd have Scannell and Gibson either side with Vaughan and Donaldson upfront.

    Dont think the article was written by Jason but I get your point - GB has to show he is flexible to get the best out of the players he currently has, he has to play them in their most comfortable positions (good players might be able to adapt but not many of this bunch) and most importantly, we HAVE TO get more quality into the team in the next couple of weeks. I know the club are working hard to achieve this end and I believe GB is now aware of what is at his disposal (this could change if we can move a couple of players on but becoming less likely anyone wants who we are prepared to release)

    I know a few on here already think GB is on borrowed time (due to results in his time with us) but he has worked so hard on rebuilding the 'image' of the club, I just hope he shows us all he is the right man for the job going forward - I think it is fair to say he has been more impressive off the pitch than on it so far

    I prefer if club gets me on job. Because I have scouting job now but to work for Bradford City is a dream to fulfill.

    Really insignificant grumble, but I wish when they announce sold out they'd confirm numbers sold and how many more tickets were being received.

    Just out of interest if nothing else.

    The ‘older’ generations generally had respect.
    This is a word the kids of today don’t have in their vocabulary.

    But a 4-3-3 and playing Doyle in an alien role is no guarantee that we will get another clean sheet. Creating very few chances isn’t going to increase confidence, especially for the likes of Donaldson, Vaughan and Scannell..!
