    passed VP earlier today, so had a quick nosey in. Pitch looked fairly dry . No puddles, just sand and mud.

    I think we should ask the EFL to plan all our home games in the first half of the season, and we play away for the second. There you go problem solved;)

    I'd rather we played tonight and lost saturday, with a re-arranged date after Mansfield are already Champions.

    Biggest game of the season in the league so far tonight.
    I'm crossing everything for us and Walsall to win, and draws in all the other top half clashes

    This game needs McDonald. Someone more composed and accurate with passing from /in the midfield.

    The way we are now set up, I can't understand Chapman over McDonald. Just needs someone to pick passes.

    Some of the poor passing is absolutely basic stuff as well.

    No, just a disciplined away performance after a gift of a goal.

    They've deserved it.

    Not enough goal contributions from Gilliead and Smallwood. You can't have a team that creates so few assists and goals from central midfield.

    People get over excited at Gillieads 'running around a lot' but it gets us no goals.

    The decision to not invest in a strong central midfielder in January was absolutely criminal. Whoever made that decision should be fired.

    Just play a few of the kids, so we can have something to get behind at least. Despite what a few on here say we aren’t good enough for the playoffs and never were, it is similar to last season when people kept getting their hopes up for top 3. We’ve been here all season for a reason.

    Only the second time I've ever predicted a City defeat and Ii still can't get it right. The first time was the Accrington game. My optimism has gone. I'm done. I will not be following another season in League 2.

    It is our lack of consistency which has been going on for season after season. The only thing that is guaranteed is our home form will be non existent.

    I was making plans to go on Saturday. I promised myself that if they played well and won tonight I would go. Those plans are in the bin along with any playoff hopes. We can’t put a run together playing like that!

    They played without fear, and they deserved their win. That first goal has become a Bradford habit. We were asleep. Spent most of the first half on the back foot. I am just so fed up with empty promises.

    Lowest common denominator “blame the fans” for not turning up. Or the noise is too much for them?

    Feels like expectations were too high

    A lot of the anger is steeped in 'but they're bottom' without factoring in that they're improving

    It's not all about us - FGR have their own story going too

    I think they gave it to the bloke who controls that embarrassing car that brings on the match ball.

    Watch when the season is nearly over and probably nowt to play for ,Watch the improvement from players looking for a new contract or to stay here.

    And I've just renewed our season tickets before the game I was so confident of our resent run continuing, just what is it with our players talk about Jekyll & Hyde totally unacceptable.
    If we don't see any response from our uninterested custodian should we reserect another flyby ?.

    After reading the post above by our fan with all the answers he could take our next form of protest on but don't hold your breath he's all bluster.
