    At this level there is nothing wrong with sustainability provided the playing budget generated is big enough.
    If letting Cooke and Watt go in January generates enough cash to bring in players who maybe aren't as pleasing on the eye but are more effective in League Two is that a bad thing?

    No. But how does one define "effective" , especially at point of arrival?

    I start dribbling if I spend too much time in the slavver shop.

    It will be defined by results and basically turning one pointers into three pointers

    We clearly create chances but struggle to take them. I'm not sure in what kind of parallel universe getting rid of the bloke that's making the majority of the chances will make us "more effective"?

    Those stats say everything you need to know about the direction of travel for Bradford City.

    Adams loves stats going by his team talk. Perhaps someone should send him those.

    Different approach? Wingers getting around the back of defences. I didn't say I was in favour of getting rid of either Cooke or Watt. I was just speculating on which direction Adams might go with any comings and goings.
    You and I can have our opinions on what approach we should have but at the end of the day Del Boy will have his own ideas.

    I've read Stevenage are signing Peterborough keeper Christy Pym on loan for the rest of the season as soon as the window opens.

    That's a great signing for them, very experienced keeper at this level.

    I hope we've got a couple of things pre-agreed or close to being agreed.

    I reckon there will be a lot of loan players available given the Championship sides have limited themselves to British players rather than EU players of late.

    Rotherham have some decent players who are potentially available for loan, and seems like similar noises are being made by a few Championship and League One clubs.

    Ironically Cook was an out of favour Mansfield player just 12 months ago.

    Anyone who expects signings before 30th January is deluded

    Del Boy ideas at Bradford City can’t be trusted.

    Don't always agree with your posts.
    Well, hardly ever, really.
    However.
    Happy New Year, Fordy.
    Hope you and your midgets had a good Christmas.

    Can Sparks and Rupp be trusted? They’re the 3 most powerful at the club so like it or not we have to rely on one of them to make footballing decisions. As Sparks and Rupp have near zero knowledge of lower league footballers I know who I’d go with…
