Match Thread Bradford City V Newport County Saturday 24/10/2020

I just understand how football works. We're a legaue 2 side and in a current climate where every single club is skint. We were never spending money this window. No one has.
There is having ambition and then there is reality. This board and twitter were all creaming when we beat Mansfield. Most people agreed the Walsall result wasn't terrible and yes today we were very poor. Like i said 4 points in a week of 3 games isn't a bad return.
Its the same with everyone having a go at at Guthrie.. The lad doesn't pick himself. Let's look at the service he gets? He's quite clearly a striker who requires decent service.
Cooke has been dreadful since he resigned and A O'connor and Richards Everton are terrible cbs. This has nothing to do with the population of the city.

 

We need a miracle worker to turn this bunch of wimps into winners!

 

I don't think @Rogered Tart would agree, talking about WUM, your very selective when you post, saw little of you after the Mansfield game.

 

Just thought I'd have a look through your posts... Funnily enough you only ever comment to have a moan. Infact you didn't comment on the Mansfield thread at all.. Is that because we won and you had nothing to say? Standard keyboard warrior behaviour.

 

You have lost the plot if you are trying to defend Guthrie, however thinly disguised. He is nowhere near the standard of BPA nevermind league 2, no wonder Stevenage fans were laughing at us when we paid a fee to take him off their hands.

 

This ^^^^^^^^

 

Billy Clarke, Anthony O'connor, French, Richards Everton, Cooke, Donaldson and Novak. Have any of them been better than Guthrie this season? If you think they have then you haven't been watching.

 

You dont seem to post much on here, but when you do, it's always a top post. Another good one there mate

 

Kiwomya just said on radio Leeds that his only concern about the team is how the team expands it’s energy in the game -

 

How you get away with it I will never know! Always going people a WUM when you are one yourself.

 

Are you trying to wind people up here?

 

Sorted..

 

What's that to do with defending the worst striker I have seen wearing a City shirt. He doesn't even give us the 'cant believe I am playing professional football' enthusiasm that Brunker showed

 

So you think those players I listed have been far better performers this season?
We conceded 3 goals today.. It doesn't matter how shit the strikers are if we can't defend.

 

It's clear to me the Assistant Manager is to blame, Black out.

 

Starting to think @Park bantam is Kiwomya. Comes out this the same utter rubbish.

 

I think your memory of just how bad it was in 2010/2011 is failing you. I'd take James Hanson and Michael Flynn from that side, the rest wouldn't get into our team.

 

No even Kiwomya thinks Guthrie is garbage, and not the 1 goal in 2 Park thought Guthrie was

 

But you had 64% possession, win the game in hand and you zoom above Orient and Crawley

 

What did Harrogate, Walsall and Newport all have in common? Players who fully understood what system they were meant to be playing, and as a consequence, looked confident and secure as they moved around the pitch together, and in interplay. When you know EXACTLY where you're meant to be showing, what players you're meant to back up, you make less dumb mistakes. We have already made so many dumb mistakes thus far this season - who am I meant to pick up? Who am I meant to cover? What's my run back? What's my run forward? At the absolute basic, who am I meant to be marking in the box and beyond? There were times today on the pitch when decent players were made to look bad, because they just didn't seem to understand what the tactics were, and there individual parts in it.

Thanks Idlebantam. Try to keep out of the more nutso

Thanks Idlebantam. Try to keep out of the 'usual suspects' beefs, bitches and hyperbole. I'm not on here to shame, blame or score ego points. More interested in how our beloved club can move forward. And I'm worried, mate!
