An over reaction?

Not here. I don’t think refusing to accept the club getting killed from the inside is an over reaction at all.

 

100% the worst decision they've made since they got here.

 

I guess that I usually fall in to the happy clapper side of things but I think that by and large, the reaction to the match on Saturday has been reasonable. Granted, some people have descended into hyperbole but the vast majority of criticism has been balanced and we are not just talking about the usual whingers who slate the club at the drop of a hat, the criticism is coming from across the board.

Was it the worst performance of all time? Probably not but it was one of the worst performances of recent years, I think that most fans would be hard pushed to come up with 5 worse ones from the last 5 years which is an indication that it was a stinker. What is for certain though is that if in May we're looking back on the Wycombe match and it's not the stand out worst perfomance of the season then we are going to be lucky if we're not watching L2 next season.

 

I'm not one for going off my head over a couple bad results, it's football it happens..

However this goes waaayyyy beyond the results.. There is nothing in the "performances" to suggest the players have a clue what they're supposed to be doing..

For me the reasons for this are:

The players aren't doing what is asked of them,
The players aren't capable of doing what is asked of them,
The players don't believe in what is being asked of them and therefore aren't doing it,
Or MC is just so tactically naive and clueless that he is asking the players to play this way.

Whatever the reasons things need to change and quick, loan signings need to be made this week and sooner rather than later. CM is a real issue and FFS get someone up top to help Doyle as he is more isolated than polar bear on a melting ice cap!!

 

Really? Do you have any examples you can share with us?

 

I like the idea JulesMP thinks that the fans are causing us to lose games because we're causing a chink in our armour. thats magificent. There's absolutely no way that isn't directly from Edin Rahic.

he's been blaming the fans for months now. negativity causing unrest. and anyone who doesn't blindly back him and his ideas isn't a true City fan.

 

You can have as much PR as you like but even a communications genius would struggle to put a positive spin on this

 

We had it in the first year of McCalls second spell. I went with my lad to the POTY awards, i've never seen a squad so tight knit as that one, everyone playing for the manager and all together as a team. Not sure the hierarchy of the club were on the same wavelength though.

 

Fully agree...WUM of the highest order !

 

It's going to turn real nasty at Bradford City soon if Edin doesn't sack Collins or get out of the club.

 

Oh irony irony. It is you who lacks perspective. You view things through your rose tinted glasses and tunnel vision. Perspective is about being aware and understanding your surroundings and the events that are happening and interpreting them based on previous experience. Based on this, I would suggest that those that are angry at the current state if affairs have perspective and it is you (uber happy clapper) that assumes all will be well so long as you keep having sprats thrown at you by the owners.

 

I spoke with Greg the day Stuart was sacked down at Rawdon Meadows he was pouring his heart out what a great guy he was and how he was invited to live with Stuarts family when he arrived from Coventry.
He did come across genuinely upset with the sacking of Stuart, I thought at the time a man of his standing and very close friend of McCall's he would have nothing to do with the footballing side of things under any new manager/coach (apart from his input with transfer dealings), just shows you how wrong you can judge a guy by what he says.

 

I'll have a pint of what your drinking @Silverbantam.

 

Micky Kennedy....jeez he'd scare the life out of this team, his own team mates, let alone the opposition...I doubt he'd get to 30 games a season these days with the 'over aggressive' way that they referee. Hated him when he played for other teams but loved him when he played for us!! Think that says it all really!!

 

Difference then is we were a newly promoted team and had just sold our star striker.
We have now gone from back to back play off losses to relegation candidates in just over 12 months and you want patience? Don’t talk shite pal.

 

Richmond and Rhodes. You can't absolve them of that. The fall was very much under their watch as was the £8m(?) dividend payment from a loss making company. Imagine Rahic doing that!

Yep. A guy who was 7 years away from his last major achievement who'd been out of the game due to Ill health and had to all intents and purposes resigned from football. He was even only appointed because he literally rang up and offered to step in. If that doesn't count as a weird appointment then I think we're losing all perspective.

Believe me. I'm baffled by what I'm seeing at VP at the minute but let's not whitewash the previous era because PP rescued them (and us) in every way possible.

 

Yet every year under Parky we always improved season on season.

 

He wouldn't be able to turn his car around due to the positioning of his arms.
