    helped steady the ship so we should grateful. With Akpan and OBrien showing form his game time will be limited. He won't be cheap. served a purpose but was only ever a stop gap

    I didn’t like him at all.
    Can’t remember the game (May of been the cup) but he came on as a sub and constantly lost the ball. That sort of play in CM, IMO, is what got us in this mess in the first place.
    I personally think akpan is going from strength to strength. Rarely loses the ball with poor passing and his positional play is the best in the squad. Several times in the last two games I have seen him back off back into position instead of flying in for tackles like most other players would.
    I think he is turning into a very good signing.

    Akpan Is turning into the player the highly critical Stephen Warnock suggested he would. He once, gave the ball away badly, but immediately made up for his error. I like the way he stands there daring a midfielder to run through him. But most of all I like his non flashy distribution, he doesn't try and join in with our flair players - realising they're better and his job is to keep our shape. Hopkin has clearly had a very big positive affect

    Him, O'Connor and Doyle looked terrible a couple of months ago. Goodness knows how good Scannell will be when he gets back, given that at least be was half decent before his injury

    Is it me or is Hopkin the perfect combination of Stuart and Parky?

    He was doing media work on Radio Five yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if he called it a day playing wise.

    Yes, it was the 4-4 Cup thriller with Posh. He came on looked completely lost - very much like he was a finished player.

    With Akpan improving since the new fitness coach came in we don’t need Henry anymore, not when Jim O’Brien is also on the bench.

    Rumour is he could be signing for Notts County. Be a good signing at league two level if true.

    I couldn’t believe it when they signed Vaughan. I thought they were shoe ins for promotion. How blatantly wrong I was. Watching highlights they are gagging for some defenders. Henry may help

    He looked to me like his legs had gone.

    He was certainly slow, and everytime pacy players tried to go past him, he tugged their shirts. We’ve need better players than him. He did a job when it was needed last month, but that’s it.

    A few cameo appearances for us. In 10 years time virtually everyone on here will have forgotten his time with City. I cannot recall any 'stand out' involvement. Hope he finds something to engage his talents, which will surely be away from playing, if not now then by the end of the season.

    Let’s hope it’s not in politics after reading some of his tweets

    First of all merry Christmas to you and your family.

    I'll keep this simple.

    I believe that him and Jim OB have made a difference. The difference is off the pitch.

    Bradford City lack leaders and i would of thought these two wouldn't hold any punches in the dressing room.

    So as I say Henry helped steady a sinking ship. Now, we need to sign more leaders.

    Sorry. Shouldn’t bring politics into a football forum. He seems very hard Brexit.

    I think he was a big factor in our win against Oxford. His experience helped us win ugly, stopping Oxford from playing in the second half. Given the importance of that game, he made an important contribution that you are probably right will be forgotten about.
