    I don't think cowardice is the right word. More like naivety and incompetence.

    I still dont understand why we needed to change the formation early doors as we did. We needed slight tweaks and a more attacking mentality from last season, not such drastic change.

    we recruited for a formation we no longer play

    If we have recruited as badly as the pessimists suggest i doubt we’d have beaten Swindon, MK Dons or been the better team versus Wrexham.

    lets stop making excuses. We have enough here to still go up.

    GA touched upon it in the 7 min vid the club put out - the one in the dugout - where he said the players might just need reminding of their roles and reorganising (or similar).

    get them fit, organised and motivated to press like they did under K-Mac early doors, and all is not lost.

    carpe diem, ladies and gents, carpe diem.

    Of course not! Just appoint the right man (and his brother) and Bradford City can still be promoted this season.

    With 93 points still to play for, we are definitely going up as champions on 100 points.

    I’m not giving up on season and I hope the club isn’t and the new man is told that promotion is a must this season.

    We nearly lost heaps of fans due to Hughes-ball. If the Cowleys come in, the fans will turn. Their dark age football has no place in the modern game and I would be disappointed if we end up with those dinosaurs in charge of the club. It's a hard NO!

    I think he's referring to the preferred style of play of our supporters.

    At last an understanding of what a business plan is and as you say doesn’t have to be complicated or go into a lot of financial detail.

    The reason, is that the CEO hasn't implemented controls that prevent the slapshod approach to recruitment that leaves us with a bloated squad lacking in quality. Or a style that fans never connected with. Rupp and Sparks can't be blamed for tactical decisions or substitutions. They can be blamed for the general playing style we became wedded to, mindset of the approach that the manager we hired came with, and completely bizarre approach to player recruitment. That's where our problems are rooted.

    I don't care what's on view as long as it gets us out of this league, I would hope 99% agree with that, if not why ?.

    Absolutely. We needed half a dozen signings of the quality of Alex Pattison (when he is fit) to mount a good challenge this year. Instead we got wholesale change and ridiculous contracts. Whoever was responsible (other than MH) should leave the club.

    We are looking down the table not up at present and that is where we are this season after the recruitment. The season isn't over but it could end up a dogfight for survival at this curent rate of decline.
