It’s pretty much football cliches 1.0 which is not really surprising.The only difference is McCall used to lose his rag with a similar type of questioning

 

Yep. He said that he needed better players in key areas. That the players went stale after achieving staying up and that some players have been protecting themsleves for contracts in the summer.

 

Only!!!!! my god!!

 

Sounds like excuses to me. He's the manager, if he knew players hearts weren't in it, why keep playing them?

 

I said a couple of weeks ago that I thought they might have lost the dressing room and it appears that might be the case because yet again, Bradford City is not a place our players want to be.

 

Agree you hear manager defending performances by saying "we see them every day in training" so if you know they are going through the motions then you come down on them likes a ton of bricks, no excuses.

 

Yes but he can say what he really thinks now there are no games left.

 

Didn't hear the after game interview with T&S-can anyone send a link or give me the gist of what was said?

 

im really not sure where we go from here. at least we have the chance to radically alter the playing squad. especially if they have taken the foot off the gas, once safety was achieved, that is totally unacceptable and if i am honest, some players did look that way.

 

Exactly. Its been obvious for a while the Wood has been holding back a bit so he can get a summer move. Drop him. You can't play players who aren't giving 100%. It undermines the team and the manager(s). Its naivety and inexperience.

They're passive on the sidelines, we're passive as a side.

I'm serious, get Steve Evans in. Let's stop being such a soft touch. He'd build a side that any team would fear to play against at VP.

 

'Its not us, its the players'.

 

He's probably utterly p#ssed off with the team we clearly have players capable of better on the pitch. The more Callum Cookes we have in the team the better off we'll be. The interview was interesting he's as much as said that some have changed attitudes since we got safe. I'm going to say they should be given the chance next season. They need to be ruthless with letting players go now no quarter shown not good enough either in ability or mentality they need be gone even if they are under contract.

 

Thanks. Really pi$$ed to hear that they played players who they knew were not really trying. Should have dropped them and blooded some of the youngsters. I do not mind losing if the team has at least had a go.

So Rowe was one of them then? Who else? Wood?

 

We are out of our depth and Ryan Sparks is a bloody fool if he keeps us on.

 

once we were safe , if certain players did give up and just go through the motions as suggested. Drop them and play the kids, at least they would try. If my staff did this , warnings , then out of the door. As i said , too easy for these guys to just turn up and very little the clubs can do about it.

 

I reckon Parky will end up at Donny in the summer

 

More like Sheffield Wednesday

 

Heavily linked with the Donny job in the last few days.

 

An excellent summing up of our season.

 

Thanks Idle
