    I know it’s only game four on Saturday but unless results start to pick up he won’t see Halloween. If Edin will sack a club legend after after a shite two months then he’ll definitely sack a tin pot manager nobody wanted. I said it would all end in tears. They’ll sack Collins in a few months then Abbo will get the job.

    Yet another nonsense post, but not unexpected, its pretty plain why you post on here your above being a perfect example, rather surprising your still here.

    And that would convince most Bradford City supporters the latest appointments were done because we were desperate.
    If Collins was to go I can't see how Greg could possibly stay, he is actually a part of the coaching staff both at Rawdon Meadows and in the dug out at games.
    I don't know if its true but I've heard the Fitness & Conditioning Coach Robert Lossau is no longer with us, can anyone clarify this ?.

    Sure, getting knocked out last night wasn't great but the reaction is so OTT by some posters.
    We drew a game away from home against a team in the division below and then lost on pens (they haven't ever lost a pen shootout in their history FYI)
    That barely constitutes a cup upset. It's disappointing but, y'know, not exactly the end of the world is it.

    Myself and Simon Hartley were at the game last night and picked that up from a member of staff. I understand Rob left after the Shrews game having been with us a similar period as his first stint in 2016. Nice guy Rob but his wife has/had a great job at high level with VW in South Korea and he told me last time they have a pact where only one works at a time so suspect he was helping out like last time. We did have a new face in the dugout last night but I don't know who.
    On a slightly different tack Daniel Kuby is now Kit Man for the time being after both Alan Jackson and Steve Cross left us in recent weeks.
    The Parader match day mag no longer has a Who's Who but the website does and I am in tomorrow and aim to get it up to date and reformatted.

    If City fail to Win any of the next three games, it'll feel like Halloween, to Collins - and as he talks to Edin, he'll think he's facing Freddie Krueger !!

    There are some overreactions, and Collins is not a proven failure...

    ... But it already looks like we didn't recruit a 'team', rather individuals - and since we were recruiting long before we had a head coach, people have been concerned for a long time already.

    Edin Rahic lacks the ability to lead a team of novices (and Greg) to success in this manner.

    As with last season, Rahic needs to step back and let a quality manager lead the club, OR, sell up.

    Edin is failing this club, and his errors are plain for all to see.

    I expect us to struggle this season.

    Every season you recruit individuals. No side ever in the history of football has signed a team. What does that even mean?

    Managers often play a certain system, so they sign players that will fit into it and fill specific roles/positions. From what I've seen so far (wasn't there last night). City look to have done the opposite, trying to find the system that will fit the players that they've signed.

    It means 'Oh look, our team lacks a target man' and 'an attacking midfielder wouldn't suit a side whose top players are wide men so even if he's good, he's wrong for our team', and 'because we intend to play out from the back we need to sign defenders who are used to that and are good at it'.

    You know, signing a team of players to fit the team strategy. You don't just sign the best XI players available, unless you're daft.

    not quite right, he arrived in 1570 and was almost ready to leave in 1605. Havent seen any games yet or read a report but he needs more time with a completely new squad, Yesterdays result looks disastrous but is it the first time a 4th div team has knocked out one from the 3rd. Sat here among Bayern, Barcelona and Dusseldorf shirts but yesterday managed to see a white shirt with Mitton on the back

    @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler - can you see if they are updating the squad pages as well? Unless it has been done already this week

    I like the debate but you are simply to easy to hook. I know I shouldn't enjoy it but I do.

    You need to loosen up a bit. Seriously.
