    You mean like Hopkin in December giving us what turned out to be false hope, I would be as delighted as every fan if he turns us round and brings us a little success but to be honest at the moment have doubts, Maybe he will help dispel them with s good win and performance today against his former club, By the look of his comments he already realises the fans reaction to both dropping Payne and the Oxford result

    Are you just being over critical because you don’t like him? I’m not sure he’s the reason we lost is he?

    So because he picks one player you don’t thinks good enough he’s crap and has to go? Bit like the law thing all over again with McCall.

    I can only speak for the two home games since he has been manager and we saw a massive improvement in how we played[/QUOTE]

    We didn't!

    It's the must win games that you realise how good a manager or a team is.

    Oxford away was a disgrace by all accounts

    Luton at home - We huffed and puffed and created nothing.

    Let's see today! Bowyer has no excuses today. He will know about this Blackpool team and it's a MUST WIN for us. Let's see what happens.

    I do think we will win today though.

    Today is the day we either keep ourselves in with a chance of getting out of the bottom 4 or fail to get 3 points and condemn ourselves to league two (I know not mathematically) but we'd need a team of 11 Harry Houdini's to escape, we would have 7 games left and possibly be 10 points behind Southend if results go,against us, so IMO this is a must win game.
    And playing Akpan, Butterfield and Anderson wont get us the 3 points we need IMO.

    @Bronco@Bronco we just need to win today then take it from there.

    However, we messed up because we didn't beat or get anything from Luton.

    I said at the business end you need wins and unfortunately it seems draws against teams like Burton recently will do us.

    As @Park bantam@Park bantam says the team sheet will be interesting.

    Today is the day everyone needs to put in a performance team manager and supporters.
    Last chance saloon for us if we lose might aswell blood youngsters for next season for rest of the season.
    I've predicted 2-1 to city let's hope come full time I'm enjoying a beer with a smile on my face not looking into a glass saying what a bunch of tossers.

    Agree with most of the comments on here, today really is a must win - not just because we obviously need 3 pts but also to maintain a belief (both for players and fans) that we can still escape.

    Just been listening to Luton CEO on Talksport, he has got it spot on about his club - they are tight, they question each other as characters, they are determined never to lose easily and most of all they are a team in the truest sense of the word. This is what I want our fantastic club to get back to whatever happens in the next few matches.

    I am coaching today but good luck to all the City fans who are going to match, I hope you leave with smiles on your faces at 5pm :)

    First and foremost we win. Secondly a good performance, because it makes everyone feel good.

    We've to believe and hope Barnsley beat Walsall at lunch and Peterborough find their form to beat Southend.

    We need 3 points today no matter what! Draws no good enough!

    I was happy with his appointment and haven't said a word against him. Until that Oxford game, where he completely ignored the fact that most of our issues came through Anderson being on the pitch. The fact he left him on for the full game and took off creative types, well, that didn't go down well with me. And post-match he spoke about seeing positives.

    Where have I said he has to go, you pillock?

    I was one of the few who said he'd be a good appointment.

    I'm talking about Oxford and his inability to spot that the centre of the pitch was our weakness as we had no control in there because Akpan had Anderson sat on him, making a real mess of any attempts to play football. The fact he didn't spot that and instead had an actual controller on the left fecking wing, that boiled my piss.

    I don't want him out. I'm calling a game as I saw it, with my eyes, sat in that stadium.

    We had creative players like Payne for the 6 games before Bowyer was appointed and failed to get a win

    He came in to do a job and playing Butterfield and Clarke out wide is unacceptable.

    Bowyer is in the hot seat but he has to prove he is capable for us. If not then BYE! It's simple really.

    It was worrying @MyBradford@MyBradford that the hundreds of supporters could see the problems on the pitch yet the man paid to do so did nothing

    Sounds like a Phil Parkinson team, and although some say Stuart was to close to the club again very much a Stuart McCall team.
