Neither should be anywhere near the team

 

Define Proper manager, Yems is 61 years old and this is his first managerial job in the football league

 

FFS, Rowe off for Cooke. Ridiculous

 

Smash and grab my arse. Lazy Bradford city performance

 

The excuses were made on Saturday where we won but actually played worse than tonight although not by much. We're blowing a chance we might not get again for a few seasons and it's painful to see.

 

Again, you miss the point Park. For the last few weeks I've been questioning T&S and whether they're what we need for next season. Because 'saving us from relegation' is not an acceptable barometer for judging our credentials. In fact, its a disgrace we were there in the first place. I'm judging what we've done since the turn of the year on the basis of whats needed for a top 3 push. That must be our aim next season and we should state it openly. Everything we do between now and August should be geared towards that. And from what I see there's still a lot of improvement needed, certainly with the squad and also from how we're coached.

 

Trueman offered little positivity in his post match interview, usual stuff the boys are knackered and we have to rotate the squad, he thinks Canavan has a slight hamstring pull.

Even Kiwomya saying they need a plan b which they don't seem to have.

 

If you play Rowe upfront then it needs to be with a certain type of player. We play best with Callum Cooke at 10 so that rules out playing the likes of 4-4-2. I said a while back they're gonna have a problem with Rowe in how to fit him in. Cook is the better fit as a an out and out striker but I'm not sure he's the right fit with Rowe. And we looked more of a threat with Donaldson at 10 due to his hold up play and workrate. Rowe does have attributes, technically his ball control is the best in the side and his shot accuracy is one of the highest in the division. But that lack of mobility is a killer, unless you play the ball right to his feet and have runners around him it's hard to justify picking him.

 

Rowe and Cook have to play on Saturday
If T&S want to know how to play them they should watch some old videos
of messrs Campbell and Hawley promotion winning strike force

 

I understands Truemans words in the T &A this morning in that everyone needs to up their game and play a part but the last couple of games showed Donaldson and Cook needed to start upfront, What other teams would bench a guy scoring near on a goal every other game?

 

Think they’re good changes, Vernam and Scales offer a bit more mobility going forward.

 

Really? Looked a clear lead with the elbow.

 

That should have been red. He knew exactly what he was doing

 

He's had nothing to work on.

He NEVER jumps. Why do we keep kicking it high in the air? None of Rowe, Vernham or Scales are headers of the ball. It's a pointless and lazy tactic.

 

Danny Rowe isn’t the answer up front on his own, great player but Cook should be the front man , Rowe pulling the strings in midfield attack

 

Why did they 'rest' Donaldson? About the only positive we've had in a creative sense since Cooke has been injured.

 

Reminds me of how we played Doyle

 

Performances don’t matter m8, look at Man City against Leeds etc.

 

Not knee jerk.That was played out like a pre season friendly.
We didn't want it from the off.
So pedestrian in our approach, frustrating and in my opinion an embarrassing performance.
