    Couldnt be arsed reading it in full. Just like I cant be arsed listening to GBs press conferences and am struggling getting interested in anything BCAFC related at the moment. Dull dull dull. Just thought I'd put the article out there given theres absolutely nothing happening, even though this is the 2nd of 3 transfer windows GB said hed need. Tumble weed.....

    3 transfer windows **so funny

    He should have just said 4 and given himself a free pass for the duration of his contract, seen as that’s obviously how it works...

    You inherit a squad from the league above and sign umpteen players from L1, coveted strikers, no excuses now, this 3 window thing is absolute crap.

    Aha we inherited a squad 8 points adrift at the bottom probably one of our worst teams in our history and that is saying something. And we are level on points with automatic promotion above the teams who finished above us. We have a great home record and a poor away on which needs putting right but anyone who says where we are is not an achievement is not telling the truth

    As things stand, the History records will not show any achievement by BCAFC. We must wait until May for any such back slapping - City are just one of about TEN Clubs handily placed and 'on track' for a successful season.
    Those three points wining Draws in December could prove to be crucial - one way or the other ......

    Maybe he thought he needed three, one to let Doyle go, one to bring him back again and one to see him go again!!

    Very few managers in the lower leagues get three SUMMER transfer windows.

    Not really Bowyers fault that our goalkeeper got crocked. He had to bring in an experienced keeper on loan even if it means having to leave one of the loan players out.

    imagine if he hadn't of signed an experienced 'keeper on loan after o'donnell's injury and scunthorpe put a few past sykes-kenworthy.. bowyer would have been crucified for not bringing someone in. he can't win with some. he reacted to an unforeseen circumstance in the correct manner.

    I agree. And he chose not to recall Hornby who it would appear he doesn't trust to do the job despite him being well ragarded at Vale when he signed him.

    He signed a back up in the summer. If he's not good enough to cover then why sign him in thre first place.

    Yet another waste of money.

    But you could argue if S-K isn’t good enough why did he send Hornby out on loan. You can’t rely on any keeper to go all season without an injury. If Bowyer is being credited for responding to an emergency what would he have done if O’Donnell’s injury had occurred next month not this. You might say that in a way Bowyer got lucky and avoided the stick you rightly say he would have got.

    So Hornby would be good enough in February but isn't good enough in January?

    Makes sense.
