    Just thought this article was very interesting.

    http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbcfc/16179198.Wyke_relieved_Bantams_crowd_have_kept_faith/

    It highlights to me that things must have been dreadful in January. He talks about the doom and gloom, and how it particularly affected him personally. His confidence took a dive and he didn’t want to come into training. It will have affected the majority of players in different ways no doubt.
    He talked about how if affected them all when Stuart was sacked.

    He talks about how the players watch/read social media, which can only have added to the gloom, but also how they took heart from fans wanting them to work hard and try to get a result.

    If anyone was wondering how our players viewed social media and how it affects them, you have it in a nutshell.

    I read that too, in the wee hours.
    But let's not forget he car shares with Tony Mac on a daily basis. A player renowned for getting in peoples ears.

    Never talked about putting things right next season etc.

    He's gone in the summer.

    Think of it like this, if you had access to a forum where people discuss your performance at work (thank god that doesn't exist) you'd definitely be having a peek of it

    we've scrambled an undeserved draw with relegation threatened Rochdale and suddenly the team are going out 'expecting to win' and the confidence is back. jesus wept.

    And by doing so he'd be effectively saying this season is over. Which, however likely that may be, would be totally unprofessional so he wouldn't do it.

    Well every Bradford City fan barring you knows the season is over all ready.

    Look, Wkye will be sold in the summer. The sooner you face up to it then the better you will be able to handle it.

    it's very possible. don't worry though, I think there's a 20 year old coming through at Cheltenham that's highly thought of.

    Yes I bet Bury and tonight’s opponents were looking forward to success with all these big signings and wages. Just as we did signing the likes of McLean and Anderson. By the way those two will probably be in league 2 and we will firmly be in the top half of the table

    It’s saying spending big money on experienced downwardly mobile players is expensive and often doesn’t work. We need to find other ways. Of course you need balance and we need experience as well but I think it’s time this club was more forward thinking

    I know full well it's over. I'm just saying you can't have players come out in the press and say that when there's 4 games left.

    so when we replace someone such as Wyke, with the Renford Rejects and slip into League two you'll still be on here championing our forward thinking approach.

    Ricc could put a negative spin on a lottery win

    1. The 'undeserved draw', comes from the fact that we equalised last minute. Everywhere I've read, even Rochdale, state that we were getting better and better. Stats (which I admit can be misleading) indicate a fairly even game. of course fans on here will say we were 'shit'. Lots of fans were saying the same when we were winning earlier this season, 2012/13, last two seasons of Parky's reign etc.
    2. You'd think that you'd be pleased at the team showing some character and doing something they rarely did under McCall, this season and that's coming back to get a point
    3. It appears the players are damned if the do and damned if they don't. Apparently, they lack passion - then when they show some they are accused of been OTT. Why wouldn't they now have more confidence? It was impossible to have less after the Blackpool match!!
    4. Given that you now see 'undeserved draws' as a reason to caution optimism. Do you have a more optimistic approach when we are the victims of a 'wrong' result - i.e. Plymouth at home in November?
    5. Rochdale's position is more a reflection of their small squad and FA Cup run, that as we know inevitably affects League form, i.e. look at our barely point per game between the Arsenal QF and Wembley League Cup Final in 2012/13
    6. In the last eight years, Rochdale have actually spend more time in L1 than us. I mention this, as there is a wrong tendency to think that we have some right to always blow them away and hence be disappointed with a point

    would you prefer I was completely deluded like Park and your good self?

    because it's not going to happen. it's not a negative spin, it's realism.
