He doesn’t escape blame but we’ve played 4 different formations in 4 games, changing from the one decent performance we’ve had against Peterborough (4-4-2) , to the 4-2-3-1 we saw today.

These bunch of clowns don’t have the intelligence to take on one change, never mind the 4 since he’s been in. Add to that the formations under Hopkin and Collins, then it’s no wonder their brains are fried.

 

If Bowyer is going to pick these players up after today's debacle,he's going to need
a bloody big spatula!

 

Had to have a little smile to myself when the Blackpool fans were taking the p**s late into the second half when the fans were leaving in droves I though, we used to do that not long ago .

 

I think it's quite obvious our defence is atrocious and Anderson is there to help cover them and give us a bit more physical presence. Unfortunately he is shite, but i get why he is in the team.
Can't believe anyone can blame the 3rd manager this season when No e of the players are his..

 

Attacking.... but whilst we're at it... tackling has been bad too haha

 

I don’t think we can blame the manager. Do you honestly believe he sent them out to play like that?

 

Thankfully I had accepted the fact we would be relegated a few weeks ago so yesterday didn’t make me feel any worse in that sense, however what a witnessed yesterday was totally unacceptable. Players earning thousands a week who couldn’t be arsed in the slightest to try and stave off the inevitable. I can remember plenty of shit teams over the years but can’t remember many that didn’t give at least a feck !

It’s scandalous, it really is !!

 

Who does he play with pace that he left out?

Wright is slow. Butterfield is slow.

 

The only lad that has pace is Omari, but he is completely unpredictable. It is no good blaming Bowyer, he cannot magically summon up fast midfielders. I don’t know of any player that has been left out that we could play. For me Butterfield would be the first name on the team sheet, he has space awareness on the football field, he has a football brain, as does Caddis. That is it.

 

Chickson has pace but is a woeful defender but could be used more forward out wide to give some options we currently do not have in the team,
Connor Wood has good mobility and can play full back or as a wide midfield player and has done little wrong when played
Reece Staunton could be promoted to the first team as he has natural pace for a defender, He could be no worse
Jordan Gibson is quite quick and after playing well has been ignored and let go on loan
Luca Colville has scored goals and brings an attacking style to the team and is a winger we claim we do not have.
Elliot Goldthorp is a natural quick and aggressive player much like O'Brien and could step up
Omari Patrick has huge pace and although not the best player in the world could do a job

Am not saying to play all these at once but they do offer an alternative in some areas to increase the mobility and give us much needed pace, Some will be used anyway next year if we are skint along with others from the youth team who are doing well

 

Well done you for risking the horror show I watched it last night and again this morning
Can't agree on the penalty it was a routine save from a weak badly placed penalty
What bemused me was the reaction Doyle gave afterwards a player who cared would have hung his head or started thumping the floor in anger/frustration not just nonchanantly walk away
Shows a poor level of commitment to me

 

I will take your bet of 10.00 proceeds to the burns unit
We will be lucky to finish halfway in whatever league we are in next season

 

Quite simply you are wrong, Most have played and done nothing wrong, some of youth players are ready and would play there heart out for the opportunity, We cannot keep playing players that are not good enough and are ponderous and slow, We should introduce changes to freshen up a probable relegated squad who now play like one, We need to know which of these can be used next season and now is the time to find out whether Bowyer is here or not

 

Can’t see how that’s going to happen. Player X is still earning Y and club Z isn’t going to be willing to pay X Y - Y being a ridiculous sum of money for a crock of shit!

 

Doubt that professional pride applies to most of our invertebrates.

 

It’s fairly obvious that they’re not bothered about playing - never mind the league.

 

Man you've given up on this club and just trying to be this positive bubble but have reached such a low that you try to hang on to a slim positive thought.

So wants the point in hiring Bowyer then. Top 10 finish? He isn't going to be happy with that. We might as well get a Flynn into manage us or aim to get McCall back or something.

Bradford City Board have messed up so badly. Collins then Hopkin and now Bowyer! 3 managers at the wrong times!

Collins should never ever been hired!

Hopkin and Bowyer only should of been hired at a pre season time.

For me until the owner and City board find the identity of this club again on the pitch then we're fecked!

 

Did you? I thought you specially mentioned slow not immobile.

We can't increase the pace in the team. We don't have any. That's a fact.

If we want more mobility we have to bring in untried players from the youth team or failed kids from the developments squad bullshit idea. Neither option is likely to work and it certainly won't bring in any more pace.

 

I just watched the EFL show, and it’s worrying to see that some teams in L2 look far quicker, slicker and more inventive than we are! Perkins for Tranmere seems to be having a field day, and I can’t see Akpan, Wright or any of our so called “Championship players” looking as effective as he did yesterday, and he’s 36!

 

He was liked by Blackpool and turned them around from a total mess, a bit like parky with us.

He fits the bill in that way.

You asked me about style and it’s clear from his Blackpool and Blackburn sides how he will have us set up. Physical in the right areas to compete in league two. With height and pace up front and out wide. A big target man who can bring others into the game.

That’s the style he has worked with and would work in league two.

I think you’ve named 9 managers now and not one has a promotion to their name
