Match Thread Home v Harrogate Town Tues Feb 22nd @7.45pm

Once again, we come up against a "Diamond" loan signing. He was a class above all on the pitch.

 

Its ok.. we got Adams to thank for the 12 point cushion.. it should be enough to keep us up

 

Sad thing is that’s true, regardless of how shit it was under him we rarely if ever lost 2 or 3 on the spin. We’d have at least ground out 50 points, I can’t see the next one now.

 

We’re so lacking in basics. The defence is a car crash - It would struggle in the conference. Our injury record is atrocious, so something is clearly amiss with our training. We look slower and less fit, less strong in the challenge than the opposition. We can’t defend set pieces. We’re wasteful with whatever chances we do create. There isn’t a heart between the lot of them. No leadership whatsoever. The squad is too big, with nowhere near enough quality and no balance.

It’s an absolute disgrace what this club has become. I’m mad at the owner. I’m mad at the CEO. I’m mad at the Directors. And frankly, I’m starting to get mad at our albeit well intended and passionate fan base for enabling this shit show - for being far too accepting of a failing regime for far too long, still rocking up at VP to give your money to a Charlatan who’s taking every single supporter of this club for mugs.

Something has to change. And its not just about a manager. Without serious, serious change, this club is f*****d and next season will likely be our last as a professional league club.

 

Well i take it that puts Trueman out of the equation

 

U OK Hun? DM me.

 

10 injuries…..

You couldn’t make this up. I’m with @Fordy117, the training facilities must have a bearing on the injuries we’re getting. I suspect they can’t train at full tilt because of the pitches and then pull muscles when in a game day situation.

There’s so much wrong at the club I wouldn’t know where to start. We shouldn’t be losing at home to Harrogate, but they did the simple things well. We don’t have a Diamond in midfield and it’s scandalous that this position has been ignored for the last 4 seasons. Let’s hope we can scrape enough points to survive because we’re completely rudderless at the moment.

Note to Rupp and Sparks, you’ll see a lot more of the empty seats if you don’t sort this club out quickly.

 

Well said sir

 

Oh God a clapper first up on the phone in. Can I have some of your happy pills please mate?!

 

I knew the Jan transfer window would be a pile of sht for us. It always is. I've no idea why fans get excited about it, we just bring in more dross.

 

Summary of Tonights Game

Started the first 10 mins poor. Defence looked very shaky an suspect to balls over the top

We Finally ask for 2 up top an Elliot gets injured straight away

Then Foulds scores. A cracking goal at that. Lifts the players, the fans, the spirit. We finally see what these players are capable of. I must say it was an enjoyable watch that first half. Chances galore, tackles flying in. A proper Yorkshire derby

And then we concede. another set piece. A minute from half time

second half. Intensity drops. Chances get wasted. Harrogate take theirs. Same shit really

onto the player ratings

Bass - 5 - He didn’t make a save. His positioning is suspect, especially at home

Hendrie - 7 - Sign this lad up for next season. He’s
one of the few players who’s put in consistent performances since he got put in the team

Paudie - 6 - Did his business. Can’t expect much more really

Songo - 3 - Ive given this guy the benefit of the doubt countless times because his positioning an Reading of the game is decent for this level. But feck me, I have never in all my time having supported City seen a player who ALWAYS fecks up the clearance. Every single time. Responsible for the third goal. Get rid

Foulds - 6 - Good goal. Played ok

Watt - 5 - Wasteful on set pieces

Sutton 6 - Made good runs. Provided some energy

Daly - 5 - Meh, did ok I guess

Gillead - 5 - He gets a 5 cus he tracked back a lot an took a few players on. Could of played Cook through on goal at 1-2 but had his head down as always

Cook - 5 - Got man handled all game an the ref didn’t give a toss. Same shit again basically

Robinson - 7 - He impressed me today. He’s never been up there for ability, but he gave his all today an il commend him for that. Cant say the same for others unfortunately

Elliot - N/A
Cooke - N/A
FCD - N/A

just want the season to end now tbh

 

RELEGATION WILL BE OUR GIFT FROM OUR WONDERFUL CHAIRMAN

Yes we need a manager, a lot of City fans wan't a saint, the i will not go if he get's the job brigade. Yes there right we need a proper gentleman in charge who know's it's not winning that matters it's taking part that counts. Yes there right about not going if so and so is given the job, they won't be going any way because we won't have a club if it carries on much longer.

 

Ha ha the performance!

We lost 3-1 to bloody Harrogate! Seriously Bradford City fans ha ha

@JonButterfield we lost to shite Harrogate AGAIN! You didn’t answer me earlier when you said they were rubbish. What are we?

 

Yep, 10 injuries. And the reality is, none of them world really have made a difference to tonight’s result.

 

Not even gonna try and summarise it. Same shite different day.
Get Truman sacked , he’s no better than Adams.
Bring Evans in tomorrow and let him rip this lot a new arsehole until end of season.

 

And that in English means what.

 

Jim Jefferies said 20 years ago it was the training pitches causing the injurys.

 

Sure? Looked like it, but hey I’m not VAR!

 

Sacking Adams now has actually deepened the crisis rather than alleviating it. Should have either waited until the end of the season or April at least, in the meantime we would have picked up enough points to ensure safety and then we could have sacked him with a handful of games remaining and given the new manager a couple of games to assess the squad.

 

Id disagree.

Instead of Gillead, We’d of had Vernam
Instead of Daly, We’d of had Walker
Instead of having to bring on FCD to cover Foulds, We’d of had Ridehalgh
Instead of having no pace on the bench whatsoever, We’d of had Eisa


This team may be shit, But the players out with injuries would of made a difference.
