    They were terrible and last season they were poor.

    I'd also have no issue saying Brighton, Southampton, Newcastle are some of the PL poorer sides - without a ball kicked.

    Because he's one of our highest paid players, not an easy call nor sensible economically to shove him on the bench all season. Which is why I think we should do our utmost to get rid and spend his wages more efficiently.

    McCartan isn't fit so Doyle started in his place?

    Premierships a bit different. Takes millions upon millions to improve your sides at that level and that will only move you up a place or two. Top 6 is a closed shop.

    As for our league it can be a good manager or a few key additions to change a sides fortunes. Calderwood is no mug

    Yeah and that’s the real concern. Instead of having speed, our players looked like they’d been on spice :p

    Nothing less than three points will do.

    We need to get some points on the board early doors.

    I feel like are forgetting how absolutely, chronically crap we were last season.

    Anyone looking at the worst side in the EFL, and yes I'm including League Two, and wondering why, a few months on, we didn't pagger Cambridge probably need to watch a few re-runs of last season, when ROD, AOC, Kelvin Mellor, Jermaine Anderson, Jordan Gibson and Eoin Doyle proved themselves to be part of the worst side in recent Bradford City memory.

    More than half our starting line up consisted of 'that team'.

    Hopefully, going forward, that number is reduced.

    Drastically.

    We've only played one single game and have 10 new players who need to tell together.
