    just stumbled on some highlights of Bradford City vs Portsmouth
    We won 3-1

    We had 5 games left after that, if we would have put some effort in we COULD have made the play offs, except we won only 1 more match after that

    Anyway, As i said i stumbled on some highlights & just watched our 3rd goal....

    Wyke scores, next to him is Poleon, wyke runs off to celebrate & then loads of the team run to wyke to celebrate too... then in comes poleon slowly jogging in to celbrate half heartedly!
    If i was me id be sprinting to wyke fist pumping and screaming yes come one!


    It looks like he couldnt care less....


    How many of our players do you think werent really bothered? And if so which??

    Even under Taylor some of the players gave a shit. Take out Killa from last season's squad and I'd agree that it was the worst group of bottle-jobs I've seen in 20 years or more.

    I think I mentioned this at the time. Was weird Poleon wasn't involved, but then again, he was a striker on a bad run, and I guess he was just gutted that yet another player was scoring than him.

    The idea that a player comes on the pitch and "doesn't care" is simplistic and subjective. We've no idea what was said to them before the match or what other issues they might have, which might explain this 'impression'

    I've rarely seen a player who didn't care. I have, however, seen plenty who simply couldn't do what they were signed for and lost confidence

    Especially so because if Wyke wasn't there then Poleon would've been the next player following up, ready to hit it straight at the goalkeeper!

    Players who are low on confidence or quality are completely different to players who don't care. The players last season were certainly more in the former than the latter. We've all been trained to spot lack of desire in the years of Tommy Doherty etc.

    Poleon likes his pop and casinos.

    Wouldn't have survived if Grayson had stayed

    But unfortunately will be able to try and pull the wool over our new managers eyes. I’m hoping as well as SGs retained list, he also left a “ship out” list too. Dom should be top of that.

    It’s almost as if it’s just a job and most of them have no particular affinity for the club...
