    It's quite a simple vote but in the claret and amber at Bradford City, whom is the worse 'striker'?

    I've made some statements about McLean being better than Donaldo, but with the pressure of having to commit to an option I've gone for 'Both equally shite'.

    I know, I'm a cowardly custard.

    Sorry Clayton but your legs have gone. Bradford lad done good and played for your home town club. But your best days are beside you.

    Do our club a favour. Terminat your contract. Enjoy retirement.

    I thought Donaldson was one of our better players today. I know that's not saying much but still.

    Donaldson is an absolute donkey. He and DMH are everything that's wrong with our recruitment.

    You obviously missed his one shot that went to the opposite side of the pitch for a throw in, and the header that looped over the kop from 5 yards.

    Took his pen well but unbelievably past it now.

    Maybe you missed him holding the ball up top as much as he could, tracking back and defending when needed, winning the penalty, and getting into the positions you mention.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he played well, but he was one of our better players today.

    McLean stole a wage, didn’t give a s**t about the club, had no connection to the club, was an absolute waste of a place in the team.
    Clayton Raised around the corner from the ground, Bradford born & bred, Bradford lad who’s done well for himself & just like McCall in the day came back home to give something to the club he’s always supported........
    Ok, his legs have gone, he’s miles off the pace, but at least he tries and gives his all every game, yes someone needs to have a word and gently tell him it’s time to hang up his boots, but frankly I think the comparison is insulting.

    Agree somewhat. Should have been Bruenker and McClean

    Bruenker would probably improve the current squad

    This young lad from Wolves isn’t any kind of answer, either. Really poor spectacle today, Oldham won at a canter, 2-1 flattered us. Donaldson I’m afraid just isn’t up to it. You can say that about a lot of them. I don’t see what Mottley-Henry offers, we really have serious problems I’m afraid.

    I’d gladly take 11 Bruenker’s over this shower of shit.

    Samuels control today was like watching a pinball machine on speed - absolutely atrocious

    Had the pleasure of a front row seat for his first and only city goal, he might have been crap but it was a proper bullet header ill give him that

    Theres an interview with mclean on yt somewhere and he touches on time at bradford. according to mclean he was told by parky they'd play a certain way and then didn't, which is why he struggled.among some other tomfoolery it was not a glowing reference at all and he was actually holding back a bit, so as much as he looked rubbish i do think there's a bit more to it than what we as fans saw.
