    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.

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

    I have to say that's a bit insulting to Donaldson. He's had some poor games but some OK ones and he actually does care too. McLean easily walks into my worst players I've ever seen playing for city. He literally offered nothing and was truly appalling to watch.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Bruenker would probably improve the current squad

    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

    It was like one of those kicks in rugby that finds touch near the corner flag. Seemed to go in slow motion with the defender not even bothering to chase it.Was probably pissing him self too much.And his header was like when the defenders do their little warm up before the game and they have to get the most height and distance as possible.

    I can still see him ducking out of the header and it spooning over the bar by about 50ft. Almost as high as Sheehans pen at York,that is still orbiting the earth.

    He was never really a star though he was just In a team that put alot of chances his way so he netted a few and then made a career trying to replicate that. Along with Matthew Bates he was PP's biggest failure as a signing.
