    Hopefully we can for 30 odd because we haven’t played them together yet and we’re 11 games in.

    Why can’t we expect to play our best or near best 11 every week?
    We won promotion to the PL with an almost identical lineup all season baring a few changes forced due to suspension.
    Footballers today are a set of snowflake pussies.
    Slight knock and they’re out for months and if it’s not a physical injury it’s some phantom mental health issue.

    Would you like a bet on that................................................oh just a minute I think we've been there before, I'll take the first member (but not you) who wants a £10 Bradford Burns Unit or Darby Rimmer MND Foundation that we don't finish in the top seven, I believe we will.

    Well, firstly I'd say we haven't so far and secondly I think you've answered your own question! :joy:

    No bets.

    I’ve said since pre season our squad lacks quality and only a donut can’t see that.

    Our recruitment director is basically sacked and we have only just got scouts that cover the the UK. That is how much of a joke the club is but you won t know that with your 1960’s flat cap on just looking at football as a game.

    Even with our injured players back currently the style and one up top is shocking. We can’t create, finish.

    You do it to yourself every season. Believe in the nearly without thinking what it takes to be a winnner. Bradford City are not good enough CURRENTLY! We have to hope we are in and around the play offs come Jan then RUPP NEEDS TO F-ING PULL HIS FINGER OUT THE SHIT OWNER AND BACK ADAMS MASSIVELY!

    Angol won't play every game when he comes back. His fitness record says he won't. Hopefully he plays more games than Ismail but relying on him is foolish.

    Who knows about Eisa. What we do know is none of Gilliead, Vernam, Cooke are going to score anywhere near 10 goals this season so if Eisa doesn't then we'll struggle to get better than mid table.

    Again, like previous seasons, in December we're going to say - we're just outside the playoffs, a good window and we'll be fine. But we need goalscorers and we will struggle to recruit them in January.

    Maybe the way to fix this problem is to allow 4 weeks full pay when injured then 50% wages thereafter up to 12 months then SSP

    Dont talk absolutely ridiculous! The ball hit his arm from a metre away. A pen is ball hit BY hand if it’s in an unnatural position. They didn’t even claim

    That's a fair reply so you'll take my wager then ?, I'll back my gut that Adams can get us into a top 7 are we on.

    Sorry, but that’s a ridiculous comment. Watts distribution and ball retention last season was very decent. His ability to connect defence to attack is effective when on form which last season he did well.

    Automatic should be the aim and now you going top 7. Also top 7 unless top 3 isn’t a cert to take us up.

    That’s how confident you are! Do you think Adams is taking us up or not this season?

    Saying that though you had faith in Bowyer so Salford must to be taking a spot in the top 7 surely with your Bowyer loving!

    Look, Adams is the man but the squad is shite!

    12th drew with 13th. Newport aren’t the same side they were under Flynn. They’re worse. We took a point.Absolutely that is a positive. To be frank we were so lucky and our play was aimless. We can’t keep the ball in midfield. Watt has badly regressed. Gilleard offered little. He Can block crosses on halfway. Offered Nothing creative though.
    Adams brought in to get us up. I can’t currently see his plan. Under Parky it might have been dull but you could see the strategy. I haven’t a clue what Adams is about.
