Very good views from some of those who phoned in after the game yesterday.

Doubt we can do that

 

well here's an ex-player who believes differently : https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18903615.free-agent-filipe-morais-confident-finding-another-club/



“It’s probably not going to cost much. Players are desperate to get into clubs.

“Most realise now that the money isn’t there like before. They would be happy to train and prove themselves.

“If that’s for three or four weeks, then so be it. You’re not paying them anything.

“I would never take that negatively. In football you constantly have to prove yourself, there’s no right to anything.

“I’d be more than willing to do that for a decent club – where I could be home.

“I’m still motivated to play at a higher level. I’m not thinking I’m on the way down.

“I know where my body’s at and know I’ve still got it. If I didn’t, I’d be the first to put my hand up and go do something else.”

 

I think it might need topping up then. That supernatural energy the clergy protected it with has definitely worn off.

We need Charlie to urinate in every corner quadrant, on the centre and penalty spots. From some of the behaviour I've seen him display in the ground. The man definitely has some kind of direct link with the spirit world.

 

I meant I don’t think we can pay him of while he is injured unless we pay up his full contact

 

I'm sure Clayton Donaldson's body fat is at an acceptable level, but he no longer has it.

I would not be looking at 35 year olds to rescue this nightmare season unless of course there was a Gary Jones type out there.

 

Only a baby then, so no firsthand knowledge. But given Holywell Ash Lane, one can't help but think of a well and a religious site in the neighbourhood. Perhaps it all goes back to the dissolution of the monasteries...was there one nearby? An article I have on Manningham history is quiet on the subject. But if so, there may just be a curse on the site as a whole, if it is used for any purposes other than religious. Hence City's poor results, leading to the exorcism...which, it appears, would need to be performed again!

RCB

 

Made me chuckle too. Someone said the other day Omari had more shots on target on Sat than our whole team has managed in the last few games!

 

Not if he wants a contract extension he doesn't

 

That Jon is called ‘Rhodes-logic’ !!

Baffling decision, pretty much chucking Sparks under a bus, and if it was his say so, one he must seriously regret already.

 

I don't think it was a Rhodes decision, I've never known him do it before, he only gave Stuart a short term contract in the first place - it would make sense had Rhodes gifted Stuart a three year deal last season, but he didn't.

This is very much a dreadful first decision from Sparks, to be honest.

 

No matter who made the call it looked to be the wrong call at the time, and even more so every game we lose.

 

True mate, absolutely right, just not sure where that next win is right now. Oldham up next? Gulp.

Grimsby on 22/12 is gonna be a nervy game

 

The next 6 games up until the January transfer window are all difficult games not helped by 4 of them being away, our home record is poor but our away record is worse.
Unless we get the majority of our (let's say starters) back and playing something like they could be 6 defeats I hope they prove me wrong but our recent displays suggest otherwise

 

I genuinely think they thought it would go down well with the support and drown out fan dissention from handing the CEO role to a complete novice.

 

Think I'm with Biker here 'There you go Ryan, here's your car park permit, the key to the executive washroom, oh and by the way, Stuart's staying for another year'

 

It wasn't even a case of 'but we really, really need to build around Stuart, he's the key component for the next few years and the only suitable candidate', either.

 

The only thing it smacks of is Sparks and McCall were set certain targets in lockdown and if achieve both would be rewarded.

It makes no sense barring this.
