    Perhaps he said, Dmac is your mate Ryan, ask him what he's got. CEO to CEO

    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.

    I believe Adams made that comment, actually saying he wanted to give Fin a run out hence moving Threlkeld into midfield.

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

    Not really.

    You can argue that in the Lincoln game we conceded 2 in the first half, but only 1 in the second.

    We also scored late winners at Mansfield and at home to Oldham, as well as coming from behind against Barrow.

    He actually said "the Bradford City fans wanted to see these players play and they have now" or something slightly flippant

    I agree with Adams, it’s clearly a dig at the fans who kicked off about a lack of subs.
    He's proved his point which our subs are naff. Also proved his point about the kids. Unfortunately.

    Also proved he's a very limited lower league manager, which is all you need to get out of L2.

    He actually mentioned giving Fin a run out and that's why he played Threlkeld in midfield around the 4 minute mark in the link I posted.

    Sorry, but I disagree.

    Any manager who puts a completely new team out that has never played together is asking for trouble. Kicking around on the practice pitch is one thing but knowing where each other runs and passes to is completely different.

    His comment was like a 6 year old sulky kid - see I did what you wanted and it was rubbish.

    That's before I even get started on asking who he thought was going to score from that non-scoring starting team and their defensive formation.

    It was like the Man Utd vs West Ham game last night. West Ham caught us cold at the start because it was a completely rotated team with some players out of position. They started to click as the game went on but even then it was often the case that the final ball wouldn't go where the player made the run because the players weren't instinctively on the same wavelength

    that's a very valid comment!

    My only real rebuttal to you and @SimonW@SimonW (with your man utd team) is that surely they must know the tactics and strategy? like if Adams or Ole said "now is your chance prove to me that you should be starting" but none of them really did that, ole even subbed on greenwood to salvage that game iirc. granted it was harder after robinson and laverly both got injured but it is what it is.

    Pretty sure it was a superb, assured performance from an excellent West Ham team.... ;)

    TBF Simon has a point, 11 changes is a lot, especially when WHU only made 10.

    With promotions at Plymouth, and against all odds, at Morecambe. And promotions and cup finals in Scotland. Really??
