Home v Salford Dec 21st

I was with you to the Doyle bit ! No way should we haul him back we dont need a sulking player ? The only way Doyle comes back is that Bowyer goes ! and Stuart returns to pick the whole place up ! He would put an arm round Doyle and make him our main man. If Rupp & Rhoded want to get the place rocking and sell their "City For All" campaign to us - thats what the have to do ! Sorry I do not dislike Bowyer but his boring football will sink that campaign and ultimately leave us in this equally boring League !

 

Separate point. Ironically following weeks of smacking it longer and not using the green stuff what’s happened to the pitch? Our pitch looked like a rugby pitch today. It’s been the only plus from the Rahic regime but looked like it had seen a dozen games on it in the last couple of weeks. Does city own a roller? The ball was bobbling all over the place. Hampered our attempt to play through midfield. Not the reason for the draw. We didn’t take our chances. Just a note of how the pitch has suddenly deteriorated and we e 2 more home games in a the next week or so.

 

Why would Doyle sulk? He’s got a once in a lifetime opportunity to be the country’s leading scorer and enhance his own value in the market when he becomes a free agent next summer. We need to bring him back to detail Swindon and get us back on track.

 

Doyle won't come back if Bowyer & staff are in charge ! So what do we do ?

 

You might know something that I don’t but surely if the club recalls him Doyle has to return.

 

Noticed that as well m8, i know we've had a lot of rain but the grass does seem to be dying off in long channels, really noticeable when you enter the kop.

 

This method that Bowyer has brainwashed his squad into believing of get a point away, win at home will be successful, is absolute bollocks.
Pritchard was interviewed after the match.
It was like Bowyer was talking.
Our home form is good, granted.
It's not good enough though to take us up automatically.
We've gained 2/3 of points available.
That would be 48 points at the end of the season.
We would need another 32 on the road to make top 3 imo.
We haven't got a chance.

 

Reeves is like another good new signing. Another two or three in the window and we could emerge as the team of the second half of the season, the important part. I thought we played very well yesterday until running out of steam, not surprising given all the sickness in the camp. We’re in the mix. It’s not all gloom and doom. Promotions are won over a whole season and there will be many twists and turns before the final outcome. Assuming we make additions, I am reasonably optimistic.

 

Doyle is scoring goals because he is playing off the big guy they have on loan from Rotherham. If he was playing for us at the moment with no Donaldson he wouldn’t be scoring

 

Too right mate. Remember how many were screaming last year to get rid of Doyle 'cos of how crap he was.

 

How many failures do you want him to have on his CV?

I think you'd be in the minority wanting him back again. Bowyer said he'd probably need 3 windows to get his team together, so let's see what the next one brings.

You keep calling for his head but you can't blame him for yesterday if the strikers don't put the ball in the net...

 

He sets the team up; creates the ethos in the group. I am saying that where we are is not good enough. If we were demonstrating that we were in charge of our own destiny theres a case for sticking with things. But nothing tells me that we are nor will we be.

On Stuart ? I dont want bring him back to land him with a negative on his CV. But you tell me who is out there available and immediately right for the business of Bradford City right now ? Unless Parky gets the push ftom Sunderland in the next couple of weeks ?

 

Too right exile - and some of these are the very same people who are now saying he has to return to City. Bringing back a player who obviously doesnt want to be here will also threaten the harmony of the dressing room. Its not an ideal situation but we have to hope a deal has been sorted behind the scenes with Swindon which will also allow us to strengthen our front line, which is essential if we are to have a realistic chance of automatic promotion this season

Jerry Yates?

He's 5 foot 9?

 

Nonsense! Utter nonsense

I suggest you watch some of their goals and go back to school. Yates isn't even 6ft.

 

Park Bantam has forgot to take his medicine it seems. Yates couldn't be further from a Target Man. Utter nonsense that he has to play with a big man. Just get it into his feet inside the 18 yard box and he does the rest. Pretty simple really. Bowyer wouldn't allow him that though.

 

Yesterday was not about excuses Rod, it was plain and simple we didn't take our chances one end and Paudie should have dealt with Asante before he crossed the ball.
Overall it was a good team performance you can't legislate for school boy errors, at 1 - 0 most teams are vunerable unfortunatly we paid the price, it now puts the team and Bowyer under more pressure to bring home all 3 points from Carlisle.

 

Bowyer is right for Bradford City at the moment. On the field needs to improve but not by much. He needs a settled side and a consistent goalscorer. Off the pitch things are going in the right direction if you compare things to this time last year.

You can't keep saying get rid and not have a suitable available option to replace him. We can't live in the past....

 

Last paragraph ? ...I would not say call time on it now unless we did have a suitable available option ?. Fact is we do have an extremely suitable available option available to us
