    They did well in the second half.

    Our subs helped them.

    He was right to make changes when he did but leaving Novak up top by himself, leaving the walking Akpan on in the centre and bringing on a third centre back were all poor.

    Not being funny but Devitt would have been blown over the home stand as soon as he came on.

    Gutted that we lost but by the sounds of it on the radio the conditions were atrocious second half-much worse than the first.

    It seems Cambridge pressed as high as they could to force us to kick long. Good tactics from them using the wind to their advantage. So we went 5 4 1 when Paudie came on. That should have been strong enough to hold out for a draw at worse.

    The positive from this is that SM has had another game to see who is up for the fight.

    Who wasn't marking their man for the winner?

    Its all right having a go at SM but yet again we switch off and let in late goals.

    Maybe Stuart should have taken a leaf out of Cambridge’s book first half and played long balls into the box with Novak and Donaldson up front as well as sitting to deep second half we didn’t us the conditions well enough first half

    Paudie's running off complaining, how about stopping the attacker. You know like, for a change. Cos that's what you're supposed to do.

    The crazy thing about this team this season is bowyer overloads the team with garbage midfielders and yet we have no midfield.
    Cannot stop teams running through us and shooting at will.
    Next season will be down to how many season tickets get sold by the McCall myth.
    Otherwise City will be in the khazi league for some time yet.

    Probably because Paudie wins headers.

    I'm not sure what he could have done by the sounds of it, it was all one way traffic second half.

    It wasn’t it was bad both half’s, they played the conditions better. I made a comment at half time about weather advantages, as I wasn’t getting carried away with the lead, we were the better team first half because of the weather but they were far far superior second half, way beyond what we did in the first. And their manager went for it instead of bringing on more defenders.

    With this modern Bradford City team, one thought should always be in your mind so that you're never surprised.

    If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

    5th with 10 minutes left, says it all.

    It's all very sad. We all wish Stuart the best but today his tactical naivety was there for all to see. He's a load of rubbish to work with and maybe he'll make a better fist of it next year but the harsh truth is that his natural role is a as a number two rather than a manager. I can't see him changing now and he just seems to repeat the same mistakes time after time. As I say, very sad.

    Have you been in a coma since we went from being 10 points safe in the playoffs?

    Form means nothing to people I see...
