Hi Fordy. Have to agree with your piece here. I think Bowyer knows what he is doing, it's just the likes of you and me don't like his approach to games and I for one feel we should play on the front foot more and let the opposition worry about us.

Where I was sat on Saturday everyone was furious about Bowyer taking Oteh off when we are 2 NIL DOWN!

They were also moaning about Vaughan, something I had a go at them about. The guy was working his nuts off, he shouldn't have to be doing all that work, we aren't getting the best out of him because he is having to do the work others should be doing.

Also if Reeves is fit and has had no reaction to his last runout (when I asked him a few days ago he said he felt fine), then he should be staying games now. He is our most mobile midfielder and probably our best, certainly the nearest we have got to a Gary Jones or Josh Cullen.

We have to be better and certainly more consistent to get out of this league. One the reasons I feel we need to improve is something you won't agree with me on and that is because League Two is NOT pants. A lot of the football is better than I expected something which is shown every time we switch off.
All the foreign imports in the Premier League AND Championship means that a lot of home grown players have drifted down through the system, even through to the leagues below us.

 

Absolutely imperative that GB steps up to the plate and shows his credentials for the job he was brought in to do for us. He has to demonstrate he is able to engineer a performance which not only shows improvement, but a selection which allows quality to surface. Certainly needs to get his tactics right and return to a more combative up and at 'em approach. 3 points is not just about desire on Saturday, it's a requirement and a signpost for the near future positioning table wise.

 

Ground white over and hard here in Wetherby but the West always milder. Forecast +1C at the moment and +2C during the game, very surprised if it is even in danger but not sure of the position with Macc players pay yesterday.

 

These rash, unnecessary challenges by BRE are becoming far to frequent for my liking.

 

Sitters missed at one end and sloppy defending at the other end seems to be a recurring theme at the moment, which is costing us

 

Ffs!!! Get a grip City. Make the pressure count. Still think its pointless playing Vaughan up front in the centre alone. 442 for god sake Bowyer

 

Vaughan and Richard-Everton are the reason we’re behind not Bowyer, controlled the game but like last week individual mistakes are costing us just not good enough.

 

Bowyer you stubborn git, just change it now before it’s too late, get Oteh on to partner Vaughan and swallow some bloody pride man !!

 

We're still 7th with a two point cushion, five of the teams above us have played a game more than us, we're one week closer to having Palmer and Donaldson back from injury. For me we need to get to the transfer window still in the top 7, hopefully then most of the injuries will have cleared up and our destiny is in our own hands.

 

Absolutely shocking performance, bowyer got it wrong yet again.

2 chances all game against a limited side like these is unacceptable. I'm really losing patience with him and his negative, boring football.

 

Good summarising by Gary Jones. He knows, like the rest of us, that Vaughan cuts a frustrated figure in the preferred formation of Bowyer.

Still, talk of sacking a manager who has his team in the play offs is nonsense..oh wait, we have recent form for that under Rupp

 

Four reasons we're struggling:
1. Starting the season with only three forwards.
2. A refusal to play 4-4-2.
3. Too many lightweight players on heavier pitches.
4. A very negative and over-cautious approach from the manager.

 

On a positive note, Doyle didn’t score today.

 

I thought Taylor did well actually, midfield wasn’t bad. Just our crossing and hoofing it to much, and terrible defending to give the penalty away.

 

Our wide players are beginning to look distinctly average. Connolly has no end product and Ismail looks increasingly like a 1 in 4 or 5 performer.

 

It made me laugh when people were saying after Exeter when the going was good that Vaughan should be scoring loads with the likes of the and Pritchard supplying him, although it was a bad kiss today he rarely gets a sniff from them.

 

The warning signs have been there for the past few weeks and we look to be regressing as a team when really we should be getting better. Our widemen are supposed to be outlets yet offer little, the whole link up between Vaughan, Connolly, Pritchard and Ismail shows little sign of improving.

 

It's because Bowyer is far too negative mate.
