Your last sentence is quite profound

 

What answers do you want from Ryan? I’m not sure what this huge meltdown is about?
We’ve had some poor results but that’s football. We won’t win every game. Recruitment at the top of the pitch hasn’t been great but again I don’t think it’s something that our CEO should just be generally answering questions on. There could be a whole host of reasons. Turnbull leaving could also be for a variety of reasons and it’s probably just a case of Adams wants to do his own recruitment and Ryan agreed.
The signing of Theo Robinson really has caused some OTT reactions and has really triggered people. He’s probably not the player the club wanted to have signed but Theo isn’t the reason for our recent downturn in results and neither is Ryan Sparks.

 

Best one yet.

 

See Broncos post, not just Morecambe he has had the same methods at all his clubs and it didn’t do them any harm. It’s an excuse for injury prone players. You’d think he had a say but why was Sparks on the phone to Poshs chairman asking if they had a striker last minute if he was so involved?

 

The one thing I don't understand is how sparks didn't explain to Adams that we struggle to score goals! And a player like novak who has been able to score goals for us shouldn't have been let go, sparks and Adams have definitely had run ins in regards to signings and scouting, and the first glimpse Adams has had of sparks double standards is when the budget was adjusted to sign a has been striker!

 

Novak was probably let go because of his injury record and as far as I know he hasn't got a club so those injury problems may be continuing

I know it's disappointing on paper to lose a striker and hire a bunch of also rans that aren't even playing but Novak doesn't seem to be the answer for anyone let alone Bradford City

 

I'm not quite sure how he expects an entirely new team to somehow gel together, know each other's games and play well in combination and a different formation when most of them have had so little match time, constantly not been picked and had the manager say they are not good enough.

Adams created the environment that made that mess of a performance last night and now he'll use it to blame them and say that's why they can't play for the first team.

Sorry, but it's poor management in my eyes. Recruitment has been poor but the selection last night to make 10 changes was also poor.

 

Novak retired due to injury.

 

I do find it a little disconcerting that it's not yet October yet the club have already offered more excuses than the book of Lenny Lawrence's excuses for crap performances.
Saturdays excuse is already written... we've no strikers fit and Cook can't be expected to shoulder all the burden alone.

 

Not even hindsight. Throughout the summer, the general consensus amongst fans was 'we need more quality up front'. I think everyone expected a decent signing/loan in the latter stages of the window.

I actually don't think we're that far away. Stick Songo'o in the middle, add a quality striker in place of Gillead, and I think we'd be fine.

 

Stats show we are competing up to the final third. But we have the most lacklustre goal threat i can remember.

 

I compared him to Akpan. I think that’s all the info you need

 

Not really. Although they do both have a similar physique, I think they both don’t use it to their advantage. I haven’t seen anything from Songo’o yet, to show me he’s got desire and fight. I certainly didn’t see him last night at 1-0, 2-0 down, taking the game by the scruff of the neck and showing his younger more inexperienced teammates, and the younger inexperienced opposition, how to get stuck in an raise the level. Same with Akpan, who only turned his technical gift on when he was playing against his former club Burton.

Perhaps he’s unfit after his injury, but the ninety minutes he played last night shows he can get through a game unscathed. The problem was, he looked like he couldn’t be arsed, which DA seemed to have noticed, meaning that he’s another wasted signing sitting on the bench.

 

The biggest problem we have as a football club is that Parky took our top of the range "Turd Polishing Kit" with him when he went to Bolton, and left us with one we bought on Amazon.

 

He said it about 100 times and never said he was not happy nor did he say he was happy

 

Which Fin ? Hope it's Jari Vanhala !!!!

 

Preying West Ham win at the weekend
