Lost the players, lost the fans

What reputation is he protecting again?

 

Think todays result was my tipping point. We've offered f**k all for the last 5 or 6 games. That result is up there in terms of our Peter Taylor days for bottom of the barrel.

 

He got sacked at fecking park avenue he's got no leg to stand on there.

 

If you know someone that knows him tell him that's he's right in his thought process and he should leave.

He is being ruined and could struggle after this. If he walks easier for him to explain the situation.

Needs to think long term not short term.

Him and Bowyer need to be sacked urgently.

 

Nearly 100 + appearances at Bradford City as a failed assistant reads far on his CV than a nobody who sacked at Park Avenue.

 

Time for big decisions mate. Not sure the club want to make them though. We've been wanting Bowyer out on TCA for ages now, like yourself we anticipated this god awful run after watching the games this season. Rupp has stated there is money available, he seems an honourable man and expect he will be seething at how the manager and players are letting him down. Interesting to know what Rhodes has been relaying to him in their conversations, it wouldn't surprise me if Bowyer was left in charge till the end of the season despite the growing calls for his resignation, its the sort of club we are.

To put some context on it i've followed City for the best part of 40 years. I thought a large handful of games i saw last season were the worst i'd seen in my lifetime of following. That yesterday was as bad as anything i've seen served up by either Todd, Taylor, Docherty, Collins, Grayson or HopkinS. To get completely bummed by a team as limited and out of form as they were, well i don't think it can be bettered.
A new low for the club this season.

 

We need to pull the trigger before the end of the season mate.

1) season ticket sales will be low.
2) fans will stop going. I think we might be looking under 10k for Tuesday night game
3) Rupp is losing money the longer we stay in div 2
4) Rhodes just putting pressure on himself keeping Bowyer. Fans will turn against Rhodes.
5) Once fans turn it's very hard for a club not to react. The atmosphere is toxic now.

Rupp can afford to sack Bowyer and Drury.
If Rhodes cares about the club then that's what he would be telling them that needs to happen now.

 

Even if Rhodes and Rupp have given up on promotion this season, or if they put it to one side, they just cannot leave Bowyer in post for the rest of the season. The toxic atmosphere between the club and the fans will just ferment around the place. They have to look at the next season and the lack uptake in ST sales will no doubt focus their collective minds!

 

Agree.

 

The fans were also toxic with each other yesterday.
Dreadful day!!!

 

Hopefully Rhodes has enough about him to pull the trigger. I've seen enough now for months to know i don't want Bowyer as the man to take this club forward. Even if he's still here on Tuesday and somehow flukes a win i still want him gone. I'd rather the club build for the future from right now rather than have to endure any more of what Bowyer claims to be football. I was there yesterday, i've never known a City crowd so vociferous and toxic to toward a manager. And he only has himself to blame with week after week of clueless tactics and substitutions. I claimed on here a month or two back he was a lucky manager here with his results and league position. Usual numpties derided my comments, guess what? They were wrong i was right.

 

Strange because that is what he said he wanted when we hired him.

 

I wasn't there. What happened?

 

Mate, it was a joke post. I thought that was obvious. It was in response to the two earlier posts last night about Vaughan apparently being on his way and about the players all falling out with each other at training.

 

Good grief.

 

I hope Bowyer leaves of his own accord. The guy is decent in comparison to Grayson and Hopkin, so I’d hate to see him abused because he doesn’t deserve that. He’s gone a long way to pulling the club back together but needs to go quickly before it all unravels again.

All this team need is an identity, galvanising and stability because we have the players to be performing far better than we are.

 

I don't agree with the bottom sentence in the fact if you take our strikers out this squad is no better or worse than any other in the division. You could take an individual out and they would do a job elsewhere, say Anthony O'Connor in at Crewe or Callum Cooke at Exeter but as a whole they are bang average.

 

The league is weak hence our league position despite the poor performances. This team has no cohesion so imagine what a decent coach could do with them. The back 4 were fine until he tried to add a third CB, Wood was doing ok until he tried to make him into a wing back. It’s a good enough squad to get out of this league and dare I say it, a McCall type manager until the end of season would do.

 

Dobby Drury has to leave. I’ve no idea how he’s still here. Stealing a wage. Just look at his body language and the way the players are towards him. They don’t rate him. How are we meant to win games when no one takes notice if the coach. Pathetic.

 

Fans were arguing between themselves, some were challenging the boos and some were challenging the "come on City" fans.
It was demoralising enough watching the game.
What a day!
