Stuart’s on;

-Gutted for our players. Only shot on goal they scored. Did well to limit them after they stuck 4 past bolton here. Draw was fair result. Nothing going for us.
- can’t be mad at players. Put a real shift in. We started well. They defended their box better than us. Evans missing because of a family problem. Called Stuart to tell him this morning(?)
- I am sick for my players. They deserved a point. Players couldn’t have done more.
- we are not in a good position but what would you suggest we do? (Got a bit short with the interviewer here). Suggest we walk away? Lost two more players today. We are low on confidence. Mentioned they scored with their only attempt.
- understand frustrating times. But last few weeks been a lot better (?).
- players to come back to make us better. We need to scrap for points. It’s not good enough the points total we have. Players free of criticism tonight. They didn’t deserve that.
- if you give me 18 months in this job and I’ll get this club back to where we need to be. This will be my last job in England. I am here to help us back. I am not at a stage to walk away. I’ve not brought in many players. People can ring in and send in whatever they want but I’m not at the stage where it makes me throw the towel in. It makes me more determined to stick at it and prove them wrong. I’ll fight it out and when my 18 months is up I’ll prove myself
- I can’t come here and say this area isn’t good enough etc etc as we need these lads. I’ll tell them behind closed doors. Certain things haven’t got our way but we can’t whinge about that. Again we didn’t deserve to lose.
- I back everyone at the club. We need consistency. Scoring wise area of concern. We need a result to lift spirits.
- Austin came off as he had run himself into ground. He was exhausted.


Not sure why I did that. Got a bit carried away ha

 

From Citys website:
TEAM NEWS

City: Stuart McCall’s squad could be strengthened ahead of Tuesday evening with the possible return of Billy Clarke, Bryce Hosannah and Callum Cooke - who all sat out Saturday’s trip to Salford through injury.

Kurtis Guthrie is nearing full-fitness, though Tuesday may come too early for him. Callum Cooke and Lee Novak are expected to remain unavailable.

So looks like Callum Cooke has a twin brother with the same name. Why haven't we been playing them both in midfield. Might even confuse the opposition as well as us!

 

We will go down if they don't get rid of McCall pretty damned quick, and allow a new manager to come in and do a Parky

 

Then the sooner we get them in, the sooner they can be fit enough to add value. This squad won't improve by itself. A better manager might get a BIT more out of them, but fundamentally this is the worst Bradford City squad in my lifetime. Additions are needed. Ideally, we'd hold fire until a summer rebuild, but without additions there's a very real chance of relegation. 2-3 players are needed - a CB, a CM who can tackle and a Striker. The spine of the team.

 

We are a joke - I've not seen a worse City side ever than this shower of sh!t
Mcall must do the honorable thing and walk - because let's face it Rhodes hadn't got any knackers to sack him.

We can't score - we can't defend - great recipe for relegation.

Embarrassing

 

This interview is making me want to punch the radio.

We are literally wandering into non-league and McCall sounds completely unfussed.

What is going on?

 

But just look at that tunnel, how can you not be proud ?

 

His transfer record can be summed up in 3 letters DMH Says it all really.

 

Like you I didn't think we deserved to lose that game and had some sympathy with McCall until he brought DMH on to replace Samuels. I understand from the post match interview that Samuels had run himself into the ground, but DMH has never influenced match...ever. Surely he should have brought on Zeli.
With regards Orients goal, it was just about undefendable (if that's a word). It was a superb delivery and the biggest, strongest player on the pitch timed his run superbly. The sort of thing we all hoped Donaldson would be doing but unfortunately we can only dream.

 

It’s downright embarrassing.Taking us for complete mugs

 

Add it to the Vaughan will not leave without significant compensation etc

 

That's what I said one O'Connor infront the other behind and neither got near Happe.

 

'We've played well in patches'. In the sense that we;ve closed down properly in open play and knitted a few passes together at times, yes we have. But if you can't defend set pieces, and if you can't create many chances and squander the ones you do, you're f****d. In both boxes, we're utterly dire. That's relegation material.

 

Stubbornness and misguided loyalty will see us relegated from the football league after 117 years.
Sad sad days

 

I do think we could/should have scored tonight. We've created some chances/near chances. Our forward just aren't good enough unfortunately and blaming injuries doesn't wash when the manager said he wanted a small squad.

 

Right guys I'm off not a lot of point staying on here, bad result.
