Worked well enough then……

 

Robinson and Lavery out for Saturday
Would either have started anyway (doubt it)
Big risk bringing Cook on

 

It looks like lavery and Robinson injured and both doubtful for Saturday.

 

Is that what Adams has said in his post match interview ?.

 

They haven’t even been given a chance!! Cook who is seen as some league 2 Lukaku hasn’t scored in over 400 minutes! At that rate he wouldn’t be missed either.

 

Yes

 

He gets the ball, scores a goal… oh wait.

 

Norwich City just got smoked 3-0 by a largely U21 team from Liverpool

 

I’d accept that if we looked good in the league. No matter what side we put out we don’t look like winning

 

Absolutely
They haven't been given a chance an extra man in the box to take away one of the two men marking Cook
Can only be a good thing irrespective of how good they are/aren't

 

I'm just glad we didn't take any on loan. I'd much rather have Theo.

 

I agree with you but I’m surprised he is still here if he’s been let down. The only man who’s let him down is Sparks?

 

Don't understand all the comparison to Morecambe on here
They were lucky to get promotion in a season when 90% of teams in the league were looking just to finish the season and not be relegated you will never see a poorer league again no great achievement in my eyes
Also agree terrible terrible recruitment but can't believe Mr Adams didn't have input into signing them

 

Of course its down to Adams I've not suggested otherwise, but I think with whats happened last week we deserve to be put in the picture going forward, you don't sack or mutually agree for the guy you bring in to sort your player recruitment to leave if all's good.
Ryan has claims he wont shirk hard decisions, so step up and let us know whats happening at Valley Parade.

The night gets worse Leeds win on penalties .

 

Not sure his agent would advise him to walk tbh unless he has another job lined up, no payoff isn’t a great move and if he gets sacked here he can just point to the other managers who have been sacked here before him. Grayson got the Blackpool job after here and Bowyer got money bags Salford so it doesn’t often effect someone’s career to much tbh. You see it all the time in English football, sacked enjoy the payoff for a few months and back in work by next summer.

 

and 5 points clear of relegation

 

It isn't good at the moment and I'm not getting too downhearted as yet, you've answered my question if Adams wants his own man why was anyone other than Adams having a say in who comes into the club, that is something that should have been discussed when Ryan offered Adams the position.
There is no doubt the signing of Robinson and possibly Lavery have been questioned and rightly so, more so now were told they could miss Saturdays game after hardly kicking a football in anger in the shirt.
I agree with regards Robinson or Lavery not being the reason for our resent poor form but could it be that the club couldn't get Adams choice of player so to pacify him they brought Lavery in followed by Robinson knowing without Angol and Eisa who would be out for the immediate future.
As the CEO that's exactly what he should be doing when fans are getting concerned about the happenings at our club, he's the man who doesn't/shouldn't duck a challenge, then front up Ryan

 

Didn't hear any mention of Robinson not being fit for Crawley.

I think the only tension behind the scene is the strong minded young CEO hiring an equally strong minded manager and the two having slightly different views on certain things I really don't see any problem at all that won't be resolved with a win or two

I am not happy that we gave up so quickly on establishing a long term hierarchy within the club I think appointing a DoF and a head of recruitment that are Bradford City men not transient like managers was and still is the best strategy but that doesn't mean Turnbull was the man for the job either but nor does it mean we won't replace him

If there is some friction it's probably strictly professional and not a problem Adams speaks his mind quite clearly as we've heard on the wireless and Sparks speaks his mind as we all know the two of them both want the best for the club even if neither will be here in 10 years so like I said earlier over to Adams to deliver now on the pitch

I wouldn't expect a single change this season in terms of the manager if we lose Adams even if we fail to achieve promotion I think we've done the wrong thing and I will lose hope of us ever getting promoted if we can't back people to succeed

 

Is that right didn't know that good for him I rated him when he was on the pitch for sure and glad he's doing what he wants to do

It's very disappointing with all the injuries including the captain Songo'o but I hope when the squad is fully fit we start firing on all cylinders
