    Not a particularly helpful response. But, OK, whatever!

    For some reason in the back of my mind I thought young Fould's had played CB, but nothing in his career history suggests that.

    And all the hamstrings! I can't think of another club who has lost so many of their players to hammy injuries this season. It's not coincidence and there has to be a serious reason why. Ergo, slightly shot signings allied to poor conditioning and fitness programming. We just can't be getting this work right.

    Can you always address injuries though? They happen at the highest level too, with incredible amounts of data and information at hand.

    It just probably wasn't super sensible to pretend we could fix an issue that is often dependent on luck.

    You certainly can. You can also mitigate by not allowing players like Angol to play as many minutes as he was doing after injury. Unfortunately we did not appear to have another player available/recruited another to allow that. Hopefully this transfer window has addressed his absences.

    Before this thread closes, something that bemuses me. Folk going on about us not signing a proven goalscorer. Now correct me if I'm wrong but clubs don't let proven goalscorers go for free in January. You can buy them due to demand for such a commodity being very high in the transfer window but as a rule no one gives them away. But as a club our remit from Rupp is to make sure he doesn't have to put any money in so how people thought we were going to come up with this magical goalscorer is beyond me.

    You can loan them though, see Andy Cook.

    But wouldn't it be nice if we had an owner who had seen the benefits of sales of McBurnie and Wyke and was willing to invest for the long-term in talented players with potential resale value?

    I would’ve thought his agent said stay. He’s out of contract in the summer and is already attracting interest from PL, Championship and Div 1 clubs.

    Don't Brentford play the numbers/stats game and have a coach who gets given players to coach. They have a structure and stick to it. Something Bradford just don't do.

    The transfer window could have been worse Derek Adams signed David Goodwillie when he was Plymouth's manager.

    How many offers is Rupp receiving that we never hear about?

    When WAGMI went public they got threatened with court action.

    I'd suggest there is interest in the club but Rupp is asking for an unrealistic fee.

    Starve the club of money. Make Rupp put his hand in his pocket and we'll see how quickly he drops his demands.

    I'm not sure understand the point Kev. I can't see why anyone on here would have access to know who'd be in a position to buy the club. Thats not to say its not a viable option though. Other clubs attract new ownership all the time. I know loosely, of at least 2 previously interested parties who were priced out of doing a deal. There has been interest previously.

    Exactly.

    That argument is done. It doesn't make sense. Not being able to name people is a silly case to make.

    Be interesting to see if he keeps playing once Shamal George is back.

    I wouldn't know, to be honest, but he got in because George was suspended.

    If he's been 'superb' like you suggest, you'd think he'd keep his place.
