We won't get the play offs. Hope, yes but that's it.

We ain't good enough and still in the rebuild stage

 

Pointless trying to clear the lines when its snowing so hard. Call it off..players safety is paramount.

 

Yet Oldham and Mansfield allowed them to leave their respective clubs in January. I think you are over estimating their talents to be honest, two strikers who have both spent the majority of their careers in non league

 

He should never have been dropped, He took crosses like that and this keeper hates them and stays on his line

 

An easy 2 - 0 win for a very average team, not a happy Bantam............................

 

Laughable comment. Did you miss the three top saves he made to make sure we didn't concede 5 tonight?

 

Can't agree on Vernham he has quality Jury still out for me on Crankshaw but I'm not really seeing it. However both of them are totally wasted on the pitch if all we are going to do is boot it up the pitch hoping for a chance to be created. Lost count if how many times we kicked it long to no one tonight.

 

I see Carlisle haven’t won again,only win since 30th January was against us ,that’s telling you something.

 

Didn't get chance to watch tonight so cant comment on the performance but no hiding its another poor result - lets be clear about one thing though in line with comments questioning the full time appointment of T&S, they HAD to be given the job after the run of results they achieved - no question. Yes be critical of what has happened over the past few games but everyone was behind it at the time, so it looks very hypocritical to now be saying there was no need to appoint them full-time. Many on here said give Scales a run after his very brief cameo on Saturday, but tonight he is being slated for not being good enough and being non existent. As fans we can be very very fickle and at times very wise after the event.

No denying it is very sad we have collapsed again so quickly - obviously T&S will know their honeymoon period is well and truly over (they are not daft) but would also be interesting to hear from Turnbull again as he got all the plaudits for January, perhaps be a good time for some reassurance that plans for the summer are well in hand as it is pretty obvious what we have currently is a mid-table league 2 team and no one at the club should accept this for next season. That is one thing we can all be clear on

 

I think this is a bit OTT to be fair. We are just in bad form it happens to every club. The players imo are knackered. The likes of Watt and Sutton aren't getting a break. Wood has played 70 constitutive games now. Its been a slog this season and I'm just thankful we aren't dropping out of the football league.
T&S aren't always going to get it right. They are very new to this but they have earnt the chance to have a crack at the job and should have our respect at pulling us out of the shite when not many else wanted the job.
We have a new head of recruitment who has only been here for one window. A January window at that. I'm sure plans will be in place to make sure we have a decent summer of recruitment.
I don't believe that their have been any false dawns. What expectations did we have really? Staying in the league was priority and that job is done. What home truths do you think are going to come out? I don't think there is an issue when maybe some of you are desperately looking for one.
The playoffs would have been an amazing achievement and completely unexpected. T&S would have been heroes for achieving that. They shouldn't be now dragged through the mud because our expectations are over inflated.

 

Who gives a stitch about the Euros.

There won't be crowds, which surely is the whole point of international football, and it's a secondary international tournament anyway.

Cancel that rubbish. Couldn't care less.
Make the decision now, and focus on ensuring that the basis of ALL football - the domestic professional leagues - are best equipped to survive.

 

With our January record, which is around 3 points per month for the past 10 season - we need as many games postponing this month as possible

 

Leicester had this back in the 70’s. Blown up with hot air. Kept rain off and protected from snow and frost.

 

what about the roads round the ground?

 

Mate it was a zoo and it was really a bad place to be at the wrong time lol If the old 56 year old hoodies from Donny Or Stockport did not get you the urine would in the toilets....

 

I can turn snow yellow.

 

This is actually the best we've played with the ball for a few games.

 

papering over the cracks mate those chances. Very poor in all areas but they are not that good so we get chances

 

Vernam and Crankshaw showing why they were let go by their clubs
