Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home V Crawley Saturday 29th January @ 3.00pm

Listening to DA after the game, he's already decided that FCD is not good enough, and I fully expect him to be shipped out next week. Rather than saying he'll talk to the lad and get some coaching to iron out his problems, he said players who make mistakes should leave the club. If I was FCD, I'd be already emailing my CV and getting the hell out of this club. What a shame. Staunton, who made the bench today (by default) will probably be doing the same, because for sure there's no progression at Bradford City for younger players. I'm struggling to think what Adams is doing positive for us.

 

That's a popular and mythical narrative on here though isn't it? To say he offers and contributes to nothing whatsoever is just blinkered IMO. He's been involved in many of our recent goals, usually retains and reworks the ball effectively and works really hard defensively - another common myth on here i.e. that he doesn't. No he's not a flying winger and never will be, but he's not being played as such and anyone expecting that is missing the point. His goal output is admittedly woeful.

 

Bradford Saturday, Swindon Tuesday. They're two teams that have played in the Premier League, does that just show what big clubs there are in this division?"

John Yems: "Not really. It just shows you they weren't big enough for the Premier League, doesn't it?"

What planet dires he live on and who does he think he's fooling.

We're well placed should be in a playoff place if not automatic now.

He's seriously deluded. We've played and have been dreadfull pretty much all season.

 

What was the point in signing Perreira?

 

Dunno why Morais is so shocked by what he's seen.

You wanna watch this shite week in week out mate!!

 

Isn't it amazing that like for like subs, doesn't change the game, and more often than not, result in us losing? "He's got a winning mentality. He's a proven manager"? This guy is a waste of time. He's younger than me, yet manages a team like one of the old school managers who are still stuck in the dark age. Sparks! Can you please do the decent thing and get rid of this "dinosaur". He's clueless. Cannot change his tactics when things are going against him. The tide has now well and truly turned - the fans are calling him out. Next home game we'll see some banners creeping in. Cannot string a run of wins together. Absolutely no direction on the pitch, in the dug out and in the boardroom. RUPP OUT. ADAMS OUT.

 

And if ever I wondered why strong drink was invented...

Have got some weapons grade Belgium beer in the cellar, its time has come

 

This Adams interview is unbelievable. He literally can’t see the issue. Blamed individual errors for the loss and the fact we didn’t go 2
Up. Clueless.

 

I wish Raynor would ask Cooke what Adams tells them what to do in the second half when they are winning 1-0

 

Adams post match the opposition are always going to have a spell in the game.

Yes its called the 2nd half!!! When we just sat back virtually all half

 

Both Crawley goals , were extremely poor defending, considering their team were smaller height wise.
But the really annoying thing is Adams thinking we should have won that game . We were as poor in the second half as we were good in the first.
Does he really tell them to sit back and play on the break and preserve the lead, it does seem that way.
We could all see how the game was going, but the deluded scot waits until they equalise before he changes anything and by that time its too late to change the flow of the game.
The Vernom change was forced on him by injury. I was all for giving him time , but this leopard can not change his spots and my patience with the guy is waring extremely thin. No signs of improvement by the end of the season , then he goes for me and calling out individual players, especially a young one who had a reasonable game , well !

 

Maybe all fans should leave at half time
Leave Mr Adams to an empty ground to watch his crippling tactics
Certainly not much better than Jim Jefferies in my opinion

 

Crawley dictated the game second half dragging us over to one side of the pitch making us even narrower, At times you could have had another game going on there was so much room on the other side, Adams must have seen this along with everyone else but did nothing, The simple addition of a winger told to stay out wide would have stopped that happening and give us the much needed outlet we needed to stop them controlling the game and protect our full back more. but as usual he stood and watched as they took the game away from us

 

Sounds ideal for a HT/FT bet then!

crawley/draw 14/1
Crawley/bradford 22/1

both Bet 365 prices

 

I think when Sutton went to RB last home game it brought more out of Gilliead and they looked a threatening partnership. If we are looking to get more crosses into the box it's a no brainer.......but DA will play Threlkeld for his howitzer long throws

 

Wind behind Threlkeld's long throws might reach the edge of the area

 

Noticed theirs no Prem league this weekend, does that mean the match will be available on I-follow?
I’ve got COVID I’m grounded and bored, theirs only so many homes under the Hammer and Come dine with me re-runs you can watch before going criminality insane!
If I ever retire I’ll very quickly be a 20 plus stone raving alcoholic......,,,must nearly be time for a G & T!

 

He's right. Only three teams lost less than us. Four of the home draws converted to wins and we would be easily. Barrow, Walsall, Sutton, Northampton, Forest Green. All games we would have won with both Cook & a fit Angol playing.
