    Didn’t get that impression but if he was pissed off I couldn’t blame him for it or the club for letting him go.

    Sparks should be sacked. I'm not interested in what he thinks anymore.

    Just listened to an interview with Trueman and he said it's very difficult to turn the players mental attitude around when its been drilled into them to play a certain way, even intimating he wanted them to play higher up the pitch, he believed at times against Oldham they did not believe in themselves and were lacking confidence, I think that's been posted on here many times more so recently.

    You have had a shocker here if you think Songo'o is one of the worst defenders we have had. He's kept us in games a few times with his unorthodox defending. Each to their own when it comes to opinions, but you are being ridiculous with that comment.

    Until we keep losing and end up closer to the bottom than the top with hardly any central defenders yet having umpteen forwards that never play.

    Maybe play... 4 4 2 for a couple of games, instead of cook on his own might help change there mindset. If that really is the case we have a bunch of useless unintelligent players who can't think for themselves.

    Use your brain and isolate? . That’s the position you have been put in….personal responsibility then the Xmas Party will blame YOU for being a spreader. Stay safe yourself and keep as many as possible safe would be my motto.
    Hope you recover fully!

    His legs have gone.
    That was exactly how a Bolton fan at work described Delfouneso the day we signed him.
    With no legs what do we expect him to do when out wide??
    More shocking recruitment.
    Makes me so angry.

    He's dreadful lol genuinely think he's one of the very worst defenders I can remember. I don't make a fuss because he's clearly only pretending to be a defender on account of playing for a club that can't recruit properly.

    In midfield he's mediocre rather than awful.

    I can't actually remember noticing him so that could easily be the case.

    Not sure that's fair mate if you have a manager thats drilling you at training to play a certain way it would take a brave bunch to ignore his formation and do their own thing, I'm sure I saw a headline that he would play Elliott with Cook.

    I agree.
    Commercial ties or decent recruitment and management team with clear vision on building a culture??
    I know what I want, Sparks needs to go.
    Another cheap option carried out by Rupp.

    Exactly, hey Yan, will you play centre forward? 'Yes'. What a lad.

    He'd clearly do anything he's told.

    Or 3-5-2 or 3-1-4-2 or 3-4-1-2 or 4-3-1-2 or whatever! But not Cook by himself!!

    One of the most basic aspects of football is a settled centre back line lol

    Look at the discussion about playing Hendrie Songo'o and Paudie in a three hahaha that has to be the worst defence in Bradford City history!

    It would be so much worse too if O'Connor was still suspended.

    I fear for us tonight, we need to be firing on all cylinders
