    Not sure if that was a compliment or not. Bobby Moore was a superb tackler.

    Considering the latest stats show there are only 354 of these left on our roads, you might be right.

    I think you should look up. The point is clearly just above your head and about to pass.

    When did we last see him win a header in the middle? In fact that goes for Cookie too?

    The message to Rupp and Sparks tonight is clear. Stump up in January and deliver players capable of winning promotion, or feck off.

    Stockton and Mullin (summer targets) both bagged tonight. Wouldn’t pay the going rate, got left with crocks like Lavery and Angol and an out of favour Robinson.

    looked a real mess tonight. GK, RB, CM also weak areas along with CF.

    Scunthorpe is a must win on Sat or the fans will turn on Adams I fear.

    Just a hunch, but i would say a new right back is required and will be high on the list of things to do and get done.

    City currently have right backs that need leaving right back in the changing rooms,
    for our health and their safety.

    We've 6 league games until the window starts. I reckon they'd take being 6 points off the play offs in the press, and big up the Jan window which always winds up being a flop for us. There most likely wont be anyone in for Jan 1st vs Barrow. Could be looking at Orient at home Jan 8th for the first new signings?

    Two average at best L2 keepers. Right backs been a problem position for a few seasons now. CM that lacks composure but is "one of the best passers in the league". Wingers that seem scared to commit a man or run at a defence, and an injury prone striker core......... big January ahead if we want anything out of this season. Summer rebuild, here we come!

    Isn’t Sutton a right back? Our central midfield is woeful. I’d move him there and sign 2 central midfielders and we have songoo as back up and keep him defence for now. sell watt he’s not the player we need in this dogfight we are now in

    Its unlikely we’ll see 10 arrivals!

    there are squad size limits?

    we’ve little wiggle room in the budget.

    moving players on requires clubs to be interested or us to pay them off - eating into the budget.

    i can only see 2-3 max arriving if we can move on a few if needed?

    Time Adams opened his eyes, here is a free agent who would have done for us.

    St Johnstone have signed former Wigan forward Viv Solomon-Otabor until January.
    McDiarmid Park boss Callum Davidson has dipped into the free-agent market following recent injuries suffered by Glenn Middleton and Stevie May.
    The 25-year-old began his career with Birmingham and has most recently been with CSKA Sofia and Wigan. He has been without a club since leaving the Latics at the end of last season.

    We managed to offload Richards-Everton to Barnet last January, so anything is possible

    Waiting for Fordy to say we need to sack to entire squad and buy a new one because we're now closer to the bottom than the top of the table...

    Something major must happen in January if we make a few signings shift a few out and people can see we are going in the right direction then folk will be happy

    should it be a non event I pity Sparkes trying to get 13k peed off Bradfordians to try and a renew on the back of false promises

    January is gonna be huge either way
