    A player with nearly 250 championship games under his belt shouldn't look as bad as he does at Bradford City. Be interesting to know what roles he played at these clubs and what players he had round him in midfield, maybe his legs have gone I don't know? All I do know is this ai arguably the weakest central midfield I've ever seen at the club, yesterday by the end of the game Levi Sutton looked the best player in that position. And even against Forest Green, a team in the bottom two, Osadebe looked no worse than anyone else in that position, a player not really good enough at VP.
    It's a position that has to be completely revamped next season, a fit Pattison is a shoe in but after that we can't afford passengers or players that don't dominate. Our best midfielders over the last decade have been loan players from a higher level, Lee Evans, Josh Cullen, Lewis O'Brien. It might be our best option to look at this option again.

    Sutton was the best central midfielder on show yesterday. Admittedly I don't think he's good enough in that position but it shows just how bad we are when a player like Levi ends up looking competent by the end of the game. There is no magic wand to make it right but this club goes nowhere with Rupp and Sparks in charge. If folk are happy to pay a 25% increase when the best outcome is mid table league 2 football under these two clowns then we might as well pack in.
    Damn I'm pissed at this club right now.

    Now that Graham has met Stefan, he'll be massively inspired.

    Wright should never have been brought back. Terrible decision. 2-0 down to a team full our rejects. There really are massive issues that we might not recover from.

    To walk off the pitch in front of a rightly livid, big away following.

    Horrendous management.

    Is anyone listening to the City Vent space on Twitter/X? A couple of fans sticking up for Rupp and Sparks and blaming the fans. No surprise it's the Liam Chew guy.

    Not seeing any light! But also not joining in any protest or season ticket boycott, I just don't think that's the answer.
    Looking around the crowd today I saw alot of absolutely gutted fans!

    Disgraceful City performance.

    Sorry GA we as a club know hiring and firing isnt a recipe for success, however you have proven yourself to be a weak managerial appointment not be up to the job.

    Hopefully a clean sweep coming, starting with sparks, to give us all something to look forward to next season.

    Given the season is over, should be giving opportunities to Pointon, Wilson, Wadsworth & Ibbotson.

    Do we have a good CH in the U19s?

    Wholesale changes, bring Kelly, Bobby, Chappy , Wilson and Wandsworth on.

    Give em a chance, nothing to lose. Long lumps in this wind are bloody useless.

    Sadly, I feel the same.

    We are bang in trouble. Not for this season, but absolutely for next. Very, very real possibility of relegation next season.

    It's inconceivable that he can sack another manager and just sit there and carry on. Who has been choosing these managers? It's that person's fault too!!!

    Sparks, like the rest of the management at the club, resent us fans, they think we are "chaff", they would rather see the back of the majority of us I suspect. They take us for idiots, they want our money and that's all, they couldn't care less what any fans of Bradford City have to say.

    Taking hughes and Alexander out of the equation this group of players have been an absolute disgrace hiding behind mangers taking the blame....spineless giving up game after game...no leaders and that is shown by the captain we've got
