    Very true, he’s not even a City fan….sussed a long time ago.

    Name a City fan who calls “their” team “Bradford”.

    Just a lonely WUM.

    The Adams training regime might be the answer.
    Cook didn't even make it to matchday.
    @SimonW@SimonW should start the next injured player will be sweepstakes never mind a prediction league.

    Adams was right though. We battered them. It’s frustrating we aren’t putting teams away but the performance was very good.

    Without a cup windfall I doubt they’ll be any major signings in January.
    We played a full strength team today with the intention of getting through to the next round. It’s highly likely that we’ll lose the replay

    You may have a point but the opportunity to criticise is there over and over again.

    2 wins in 14.. Really poor set of results.

    Bradford City hiring a manager because they can succeed on a small budget in league 2 is exactly why all criticism should be aimed at those at the top, pathetic for Bradford City to hire someone for that reason at this level. That said I don’t believe that is the reason I’d be surprised if our budget was one of the smaller one even though it has been cut.

    Is that based on any inside knowledge or just wishful thinking?

    But 15/10 minutes from the end he's also berating them for dropping off, letting the opposition walk out with the ball from defence and basically not listening to him.

    He can't have it both ways. If players are not doing what he wants then he should sub them and bring on someone who will at least put some pressure on and try and get some tackles in.

    Watt is hopeless in the last 20/25 minutes of games. He seems to get tired because he drops off, gets deeper and just vanishes from games. In the middle we just invite teams onto us and our defence is not good enough to keep them out.

    Maybe Songo'o and Canavan will work well. It will be interesting to see. I don't think we'll miss Paudie that much.

    Personally think the football under Adam's is decent. Like a few have said a decent forward and we'd have alot more points on board.cant blame Adam's for the recruitment or for current players not putting chances away to win games.the board have got to back Adam's with a decent budget if not in Jan then certainly next season. This is a piss poor league invest more in squad you'd get the money back anyway if we went up.we cant keep swapping and changing managers think Adam's will bring success given time.

    If you actually look at the stats, Cook is equal third top scorer in the division. I would argue that it is our midfield, who are failing to score, not Cook. Yes he could score more, but his return is pretty good.

    I’d have took the draw of it was in the league before the game, they are on a good run and a good side and will be up there.

    However for me it’s the repeat performance again that’s the worry. On top, don’t make it pay and let in a soft equaliser. Is it a mental issue or a fitness issue?

    Don’t think it’s about being miserable, it’s just odd laughing at Town or Leeds or even FGR when we’re mid table league two and possibly ten days away from being out of all the cup competitions.

    I wasn't always keen on Declan Rice but there isn't a better midfielder in the premiership right now. Him and Soucek are exactly what Man United lack.

    He reminds me of Billy Bonds when he carries the ball through the middle with opposition players bouncing off him.
    But he'll probably end up a much better player, with far more trophies, than Bonzo.
