Match Thread Home V Crawley Saturday 29th January @ 3.00pm

He's horrible. Seems a total mercenary to me. Just looks after himself and blames everyone but!

 

Perhaps Adams should listen to the whole of the post match section on BBC Radio Leeds sounds. He might learn something from the articulate Felipe Morais and the views of City fans who were at the game.

 

He's living in a fantasy world these days where he thinks we should score every chance.

Let's not forget that at the start of the season he was talking about making lots of chances and the impact that had on the expected number of goals.

He seems to have totally changed his philosophy mid-season.

 

No not Trueman. A manager that’s just coming out of the game or recently that can demand respect

 

How did the new keeper do with the two goals he conceded to crosses? Made a good first half save but would Hornby not let the two headers in?

 

Hes ok but it wasn’t a position we needed to create trouble in and upset the squad

 

Such as? Who would you employ that is just 'coming out of the game' (translation?) and can demand respect?

 

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

 

I stopped going weeks ago, after a lifetime of watching them. Safe to say I shan't be returning until Adams is OUT.

 

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 !

 

Wish he was on his way out!

 

First one I think caught him by suprise. It was a cross that shouldn’t of gone into the box in the first place, no thanks to Daly ball watching (You’l notice it when watching the highlights). as for the second one, he wrong footed himself , went too far to his left, should of saved it tbh but its more the defence’s problem than his

 

Nothing changes @fordy same old crap

 

Well that was karma for Walsall wasn’t it??
Almost a carbon copy of Tranmere away and the same as countless of games this season where one performance is completely the opposite of the other.

Lets be fair, we were decent enough first half albeit against a poor Crawley. As soon as they switched on and Vernam had gone off, we were yet again, absolutely appalling.

I haven’t heard the after match interview so will be careful what I say, but the first goal is FCDs error - completely lost his man.

But the result isn’t down to FCD, neither is the season so far. We are simply a rotten club in many areas.

I’m sick to the core of hearing Owners, CEOs, Managers, players and fans saying “knowing what it takes to represent Bradford City”… “getting this fantastic club back to where it belongs”
Well if everyone is so bloody clear on what it takes to make Bradford City successful, then why the hell year after year after year is it failing? FAILING.

All these CEOs, Managers, Coaches and players give the same BS yet do we truly ever see it in their performance? Very very few IMO. Even Kiwomya banged on the same message when he was on Radio Leeds - well is he explaining this to the players now he’s involved on a daily basis cause if he is, I ain’t seeing it.

Rotten to the core. Players look scared, useless or uninterested.
Fans lost patience. Criticise every new player before they’ve even trained.
Manager after manager fails to assemble a squad capable of doing the basics or displaying the passion to play for the club.
Owner who’s non-existent and CEO who seems out of his depth.

Even if we by some miracle make the play offs it would be absolutely unjust based on the majority of this seasons performances.

Hard to swallow what’s happening at this club at the moment.

 

We would be well beaten in the playoffs. The teams in there at the moment are far stronger units than we are.

 

Family domestic..

Come most weeks, usuly pockets full of shorts. One lad today got a bit over rowdy and one them said something to him and it all kicked off. One of the blokes partners got hit and went down and had a panic attack.

Crazy thing is there is no stewards visible to the upper kop. Guy was clearly hyped up and wanted to fight everyone. Someone had to actually go to the concourse to find a steward which isn't really acceptable.

How long it took to find a steward to either A) disfuse the situation or B) radio for help wasn't really the best. It wasn't until most the upper kop and corner started to raise voices that anything happened.

Luckily the incident wasn't as serious as it could have been

 

Summary now I have chilled

First half didn’t see more than last 10 mins due to a power cut so can’t comment.

Second half
Crawly goals both comedic defensive errors
Bass stupid position for second goal.
LCD lost his attacker for the first.

Midfield
Ball players NOT ball winners, lost out of possession . Walker the only one that is effective

Defence
Too slow and positioning poor

Forwards
Cook isolated up front and as mobile as a house brick.

Sorry, let the season peter out, and a complete and utter clear out of the ENTIRE squad.

Who to keep
Walker with the right MOBILE players around him

The rest….. meh!

 

Thanks Staff! Much appreciated!

 

First half his sweeping stopped two through ball chances which ROD and Hornby wouldn't have even seen.

 

Walker is at least League one level, Hence why he looks better than the shit around him
