If everyone had this attitude then City would have gone out of existance 40 years ago. 'City til i die' means just that. We've been in worse situations by miles. Get a grip ffs. Without the fans BCFC are nothing. Grow a pair. We all stuck our chests out at Stamford Bridge, nows the time to suck it up. We'll be back and you'll all be giving it large. Be strong.

 

I’m behind Bowyer. Today’s result wasn’t on him. It was down to the limitations of the squad and constant gifting of goals to the opposition.

Judge him after the summer.

 

Impressed with Paudie today. He wound up Marquis from the start, in his ear all the time like an old pro. Marquis was totally ineffective, so well done Paudie.

For a yound lad, he alzo wasnt shy in talking and trying to organise his fellow defenders either. Also kept making himself available to receive the ball from O'Donnell, who more or less ignored though

 

I don't really get the 'are you going' stuff.

I mean, I get why other people aren't, but for me it's not a question.

Maybe it's morbid curiosity, but I want to watch the inevitable actually unfold. And even when it's happened, and we're mathematically one of the worst Bradford City sides in history, I'll still go because I'm pretty much in awe of how utterly sh!t we are. This genuinely needs remembering.

What's the point of going to Villa away, or Wembley twice in one season, if you can't then recall how abysmal we were in the last games of a relegation season, where we didn't even put up a fight or give fans a hope of survival?

The peak never feels as high if you didn't plumb the depths.

Or some crap.

I'll be there.

 

He really wasn’t, he was average at best. Players with mentions today were Paudie O’Connor who kept a very good striker quiet, Caddis who constantly stands out, Lewis O’Brien and David Ball. Nobody played badly but O’Donnell has to do better with the goal. Its the only thing he had to do. I think Bowyer now realises why this club is where it is, why manager after manager has failed, why Hopkin walked after being adamant he was here for the long haul.
Such a disappointment that our league one campaign is dying out while seemingly waving the white flag. Two seasons of sheer utter incompetence at the too level has left us a bare shell of the team that fought so valiantly to become an expected fixture in the playoff battle.
Make no mistake this war was lost a long time before Gary Bowyer came to the club. Its going to take a lot longer than an eleven games to turn this sinking ship around.
Lets see what he can do next season.

 

Now here is the thing, NONE OF US DO!!!

we are all fed up to the back teeth of of watching our team get battered or as is the case yesterday put in a toothless performance.

The plan yesterday was to stay in the game for 70 minutes, then bring on Scanz and Payne to see if we could snatch it. Nearly worked, but they scored just before subs came on. O’Donnell was to blame for the goal, yes mistakes were made before it got to him, but that was a regulation save all day long. They had one shot on target, and he let it it. I expect the goalie to bail us out when mistakes are made, he had very little to do all match.

I really hope you can get this because you are becoming seriously boring, Gary Bowyer has been given 3 spoons to dig us out of a hole and what is required is at least 1 spade preferably 2!!

We all hoped he could do something with this squad but it hasn’t happened, however he is not to blame for our current situation. We will have to wait and see how he does next season with his own squad.

 

Fordy, you really can be a massive contradiction! I have read your comments on here and you rightly outline all the reasons of what we have done wrong, the mistakes that have been made and why we are failing as a club but then continually have a go at the manager who was NOT responsible for any of these abysmal decisions and has only been here for 6 matches. He cannot do anything about trying to correct all the failings until the summer and whether its GB or anyone else you might have preferred to get the job, whoever it is is going to have a massive job on their hands. You and your mate Black Adder will no doubt continue to slag GB off but I repeat he is NOT responsible for all the mess at the club - he is not getting the 'free ride' you keep pointing out and he will know better than anyone that he has a huge pre-season of trying to re-build a team we can all have some faith in and 'buy into' once more, and he will then start to be more fairly judged on performances and results. But for you to keep laying into him after correctly listing all the failings at the club before he arrived is to be honest a bit of a nonsense - perhaps it is just you needing to live up to your 'Nasty Nick' image on this forum?

 

From the totally bonkers appointment of the three stooges (Collins, Abbott & Drury) through to Bowyer's abysmal recent run of five defeats, only one goal scored and relegation confirmed!

The whole season has been an absolute unmitigated disaster and not least a total embarrassment. The shear thought of where we're headed is utterly depressing and it's going to be an awful long way back!

 

And there defines the extent of your footballing knowledge.

 

With what? You do realise this club has been doomed way before Bowyer came in. Bowyer isn't a magician, he can't suddenly turn Doyle into half decent striker with pace and strength, he wasn't the one diving over the ball for Doncasters goal. He wasn't the one that brought completely the wrong players to the club in pre season or January. He isn't the one that failed to shoot when in a good position at Charlton. Anyone who thought he could possibly get a tune out of this squad knows nothing about football, you could have put a fork in use at the beginning of February cos we were done.

 

Yep, up from Leicester for the match. They all think I'm crackers here and they're probably right. But I only have one team.

 

Can't just play 1 up front at home in a relegation battle LUDICROUS!

 

None of us like losing, nobody more so than Bowyer and the players on the pitch. But no one has a devine right to win and losing has become a habit. You can tinker witj that team as much as you want, bring subs on at different times etc. It makes no difference with this team. Some of your comments have merit but ultimately it doesn’t matter.

18 months of lunacy from Rahic and disastrous transfer windows, the last chance being January, have led to this position, not Gary Bowyer. Hopkin bailed out because he knew the writing was on the wall. We are back to square one and i don’t like it any more than you do mate.

I enjoy coming back to Bradford to meet friends and family talking about what is going at the club.Despite the bad season is still look forward to matches

 

The disappointing thing is he is no better than Colin Doyle who we let go, he's not the worsted we've had and to be fair with the assortment of defender he's had in front of him any keeper would be jittery.
For me Bowyer will have had a look at our players who will still be under contract next season he needs to decide if any of them are going to be regular starters, if so he brings players in to complement them, not an easy task but at least by having these last 11/12 games to run the rule over them he will be in a far better position that Hopkin was.

 

Yeah we more than matched a play off bound team.

 

Clarke was back to his best? I didn’t realise he was on in the first half.
As for Bowyer i think thats as good as hes gonna get out of that bunch of players. The same problems kill us every week. Lack of physicality and no pace whatsoever. Make no mistake that was one of the worst away performances i’ve seen this season. A half decent side would have wiped the floor with them. Unfortunately we lack the fundamentals to win games like this, just like we’ve lacked them all season. Its the reason i wrote this season off on the first of February, those fundamentals were never addressed.

 

Back to his best non-assisting, non-scoring, running around in the middle 50% of the pitch, doing knack-all, having zero influence, contributing nothing towards us having the potential to win more than one point best?

THAT best do you mean?

He's blagging it Park. Wake up and smell the coffee.

 

Mate. How many goals did he score? How many goals did he assist?

It's not about opinions, football is about facts unfortunately. The team that scores the most, wins.

We scored nothing, Billy created nothing. He's created nothing since he re-joined and he's not scored since he re-joined.

Theres no opinion here. He's a waste of a wage.
