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

This is bad, real bad.

Yup, Mansfield were the worst team we've played all season. Harrogate the best, Newport don't look anything special but look way better than us.

 

And it was so predictable when you saw the lineup. Instantly you could see we'd be vulnerable in wide areas and overrun in midfield. I accept the limitations of some players, and the squad as a whole - but mccall is mismanaging what he does have.

 

We are going nowhere.Early days in the match, but I'm reluctantly losing interest in a Club I've followed for since the 5o's.

 

Well, at least I’m warm and in my lounge. What an awful half.

 

Can someone please tell me where Guthrie, Clarke and Cooke are playing?

Anyone seen Novak?

Why is French even in the squad never mind the starting line up. It's just unacceptable.

 

I would rather plat fog to be honest

 

You posted this 2... nil to the chicken m8. are Newport the chickens ?.

 

could be much worse if Newport had gotten out of 2nd gear.. not sure why anyone is surprised with the standard of performance so far - it's exactly the same as how we've been playing for the previous 10 games so far this season and those at the end of last season. anyone who thinks this squad and management team are better than this needs to give their heads a shake; this is the level we're at now. top half of the bottom of league two as best.

 

The formation has hung them out to dry before they've even kicked off. Yes, we're not a good side but at least give them a chance McCall.

 

Not a single positive. McCall trying to be too clever yet again with a formation and personnel that don't work. We are genuinely clueless all over the park.

 

A quite terrible defensive performance.

For all the possession on the ball, there’s virtually no substance to it. Never at once do I get excited when we get near the oppositions box that we will do anything with it, in today’s game or any other. What a miserable team we are to watch.

When they defend they do it with 9 men, when we defend we don't.

Such a huge disconnect right across the pitch.

 

No need to apologise 59% suggests we have most of the play as did 4 efforts on target to their 1 at the time.

 

I know what I wrote... city to win 2 nil.

I'd have newports MANGER OVER FAILURE MCCALL.

 

Raynor feels sorry for McCall on Radio Leeds. Why?

 

The depths at this club continues...

Rupp out

 

Possession means absolutely nothing.

 

Disconnect is the right word. Look at the first goal - or the second for that matter. Big distances between players, too easy to get crosses in, too much space in front of the back 4. Players dont know their position or the system. How many many formations have we played this season? Its nonsense. If you're a side that isn't prolific, you at least need to be solid and difficult to play against. we're not. It's awful stuff.

I said it a few weeks ago - this is the worst City squad in my living memory. The only thing that's likely to prevent relegation is the god awful standard of the league.

And yet there's a sense of wonder at the club that people arent paying to watch this shite?
