    Let's hope it's a home win :tired_face:

    I can't see us winning and I don't think Bowyer will want to lose this at any price.

    1 - 1 Draw for me.

    If we get "nil" we might sneak a draw.

    Does he play Anderson again after his last 2 efforts?
    That will be telling as to whether City win or fail.
    Keep our most creative player in Payne on the bench again.
    Taking a good wage from City but not, alas,making the plays.

    Got to start Payne and OB for me. Its up to Bowyer to fit in our best 2 players into a winning formation

    It's the hope that kills you. 2-1 Bradford for me nevertheless.

    Really happy for Blackpool and their fans though, hope they can still reach the Play-Offs and (depending on where we finish) earn promotion.

    I don't like the feel of this game, feels like we're as good as down just as Blackpool are coming into something of a celebratory/party time (and good for them!)

    I'm sticking with my prediction league guess of a 4-0 home defeat...

    Spineless 0 - 2 Blackpool.

    I hope you all enjoy your day though. I think am done for the season, just can't be arsed.

    It's an awful feeling when you can't be arsed to go to the game due to disappointment and feel like you've fallen out of love with football. Those feelings are extremely fresh. Hopefully the love comes back soon.

    And the fact there isn't a winning formation when all your best players are central midfielders or central attacking midfielders is why we're going down.

    Butterfield is our best player, but needs to play centrally. Oops. As do Payne and OB. And Akpan. And Bowyer's favourite, Anderson. Someone has to give way (or play out wide).

    What a shambles our recruitment has been this year. Our best players are all too similar and aren't ours to keep.

    I look forward in anticipation every week and I'll be cheering them at VP on Saturday, but there's no width whatsoever.

    I hate digging players out but if Anderson starts ahead of either of Butterfield, Payne or OB then I give up.

    Agreed, the Anderson situation seems like a simple case of a new manager walking in, Anderson maybe being incredibly attentive, trying his best in training, catching the eye, but ultimately he isn't someone who should be playing week in, week out. He's getting the nod, I assume, because of having a good attitude. What else can it be?

    Meanwhile, more jaded first teamers aren't getting a look in.

    And if my suspicions are correct, this is EXACTLY why it wasn't a great move bringing someone in from the outside to try to 'learn' the squad in a matter of 12 games.

    Then again, Drury clearly wasn't the man either...

    Let's be honest, it isn't just DREADFUL player recruitment that has been the issue this season, we need to look at the recruitment of staff as well.

    Nice to see that when the chips are down, you’re quite happy to just foresake the team. Sorry, but I find no excuses - it’s pathetic...!

    Our last 2 home games saw us beat Posh 3-1 and narrowly beaten by high-flying Luton. Yet you seriously think we’ll get hammered 4-0?

    Are you really a City fan?

    More annoying for me Jon, are the times we do play football, and get 'at them' - With multiple shots at goal .... only to find few are on target, or we just haven't worked the 'keeper. :(

    Are our players that inept .......... Or just bottle it anywhere other than in training ? Even in pre match warm ups - O'Donnel is more like a ballboy, than saving 'shots'. Poor lad can't even practice retrieving the ball from the back of the net, ha ha ha.

    I think the only reason he plays Anderson is because he is bigger than the rest and we lack physicality. Although still a mystery why he would play in in front of OB. A tired, knackered OB still has more pace and energy than Anderson and Akpan ( although granted Akpan has looked better in his new role )
