For the last 30 mins they've been playing Gillead at right back. We've had Wood on the left Wing.

Tells you everything about the intent of either manager

 

Seriously, there’s not a chance in hell Bradford City sack a manager in 5th. Not a chance.

 

I want Bowyer out.

I recognise it won't happen til we drop to tenth or so.

Doesn't feel a long way off happening.

 

So you didn't hear "Bowyer your footballs fecking shit"?

 

Certainly brought Doyle down to a below average player.

 

I feel that the players are good enough they're just been directed enough or given enough licence.

Every fookin week we start awfully - why?? The manager has to take responsibility for that kinda shit when it happens time and time again and he has to change it!!!

 

We made Lund look like Pirlo today.

Mellor made anyone on the left wing look like Bale.

 

Some of the counter attacking football they played was top draw albeit against a wide open City side. At what point does Bowyer realise certain players are a waste of a shirt?

 

For what it's worth their keeper looked awful.

He got out of the way and face Akpan an open goal, but after Vaughan scored we didn't test him once

 

Felt City were lucky to finish up with a point, Scunny sliced through the passengers in midfield far too easily.

Cooke was the defensive mid with the static Akpan and useless Palmer in front??????
Bowyer, WTF!!!
Their team looked younger and quicker, just missing a decent finisher.
Talking of which, should i contact the League Against Cruel Sports as re-calling in form Doyle then starving him of any quality ball is just madness.
He has been Bowyered.
Send him back to Swindon so he continue to score goals for fun.
Maybe the gaffer needs to try the 5-5-0 formation as we dont need strikers if we dont create chances for them.

 

Can’t believe we have the 2 top scorers in the top 4 and we still look sh*te

 

I am not sure what to say after watching that!!! I won’t go into detail about the players as I agree with most of what has been said.

It was diabolical beyond belief! Scunthorpe played us off the park on our crap pitch. They passed really well nearly always forwards. They were always first to the ball! (Unforgivably at home in my view)

We look like a side with no confidence or purpose. We are chaotic with no structure to our play it’s like watching kids, ‘ everyone back lads’ with poor Doyle our only outlet marked by 3 players! Our midfield is the worst I have seen in all my years of watching it is official. I have seen poor players in midfield but not all of them. You don’t get any sense of a game plan.
At the end of the first half we were firmly camped in Scunny half. I thought now is time to earn your crust Bowyer. Out they come and it was worse!!!! FFS what does he do or say!! Yes players have responsibility to perform under managers instructions but he also has a role to inspire players to be the best they can be.
I am now firmly convinced that we are not going to be promoted regardless of being 5th.
I am also not going to watch that crap until things improve, I might change my mind come Saturday but I doubt it.

 

After it went to 2-1 Vaughan was shoved onto the right wing and we went 541 ffs. I actually pity any player playing under this man, especially the attackers.

 

I've been following the Sunderland forum since PP went there, they did not give him 1 minute to turn anything around, just hit him with vitriolic abuse from the start. 1 month ago they wanted a new manager who, they hoped, would get them into the the top 6 for the end of the season. Today, they've won 5 & drawn 1 out of the last 6 and are only 6 points off auto.........

Bowyer has quickly turned a garbage squad into a competetive one (results wise at least), I think he deserves this window because some of our players are really shit, starters are L2 hoofers at best and many can't see that. I can't watch it but yeah, see what comes in, what we can move out and give him the season.

 

Add Pritchard to that list.

 

Don't often agree with you but that's spot on.

And Mellor WTF?

My MOTM was the goalie for that save from Millers header.

 

I think that's why we need a good midfielder, willing to put his balls on the line. Chopping and changing constantly doesn't help either.

 

The boos are the result of Bowyers incompetence. Don't like to see individual players targeted but palmer needs to be taken out of the firing line. The lads confidence is now non existent, unfair to keep playing him.

 

And he left on the worse performer. Is he blind??

 

Look around club message boards up and down the land. It's a growing phenomenon. People actually garnering pleasure and entertainment from screaming abuse at their team and telling them how shit they are. You can almost sense the disappointment when things are going well. All very quiet round block E when we went 2-0 up, then the carnival began when Scunthorpe scored before the real party started when they equalised.
