I'm pretty sure we'll see the same level of effort that we saw against Harrogate in the first half, maybe even more. Don't think we'll lack for effort. Just depends how many errors we make.

Those that have showed up well recently include Hendrie, Foulds, Sutton and Cook and Robinson seemed to do OK together against Harrogate so are worth another chance together.

What we might see this time is people playing for a contract because they want to stay and play for Hughes next season. That might make some difference.

 

Effort doesn't really worry me, although we seem to fade badly in second halfs. The opposition seem much fitter than we are, regularly. Didnt Sparks touch on that last summer and promise we'd sort it? Doesn't look like we have to me.

 

There was a comment Ryan made in the interview yesterday about speaking to the staff and scouts and he was surprised by some of what he heard or something (can't remember exact wording). Maybe Adams wasn't as on the ball and invested as he made out?

 

I noted that too. Made me wonder whether it was related to the brief on 'type of player' Adams instructed them to be scouting for....

 

Not seen all of the earlier curry chat but for FWIW My Lahore and International would be my top two choices.

they are sort of near the ice rink and where the nightclubs were. These days there’s a Wetherspoons and a few other bars. You are also not far from centenary square which is where a Lloyds bar/wetherspoons is if you want a cheap pint before getting on train - which is walking distance from the Interchange. They are, however, a long walk from the ground. 20-30 mins or so to get to that part of town? But you can of course stop off for a pint on way (if doing so, North Parade has some decent bars, and City Vaults in town attracts a football crowd).

the closest curry houses to the ground are probably Sheesh Mahal or the Sweet Centre. Sheesh Mahal is a bit rough and ready. Sweet Centre bit nicer, but the nicer places are further away in town.

We love My Lahore - curries are great and have some substance, not watery. Its not the most extensive menu, so best to check before you go. Not sure if they take bookings. It gets busy, so may have to wait a little for a seat.

someone else mentioned Omar Khan’s - that’s a solid option and near to My Lahore and International. There was an Aagraah near the Registry Office - end of Manningham Lane so near the ground - that was solid (not been for a while so dunno if that’s still there).

if you are from outside Bradford I wouldn’t touch Karachi. Not been for years but a work colleague went after visiting the theatre and said they still have the plastic seats. Its a dive and meat was all brown and horrible, not chicken breast. It has a reputation but its not somewhere id recommend given the alternatives.

i’m off to the international tonight. Its not cheap but they refurbed it during lockdown and had a change of owner. Bloody tasty curries in there though.

good luck (and for rest of the season, after tomorrow, of course )

 

There were quite a few digs at Adams in comments from both Sparks and Hughes yesterday. Hughes' comments about managers making excuses and bigging themselves up seemed particularly pointed.

 

Just didn’t want to bring a suitcase to the game

 

Can you ask them to bring 16000 scarves (plain ones) with them and hand them out to city fans on way in

 

Hope Hughes can get Cooks belly back in shape to score the goals again, Oh and noticed Robinson developing a paunch, whats going on?

 

Saw it on sky news tonight just before 9pm. Hope its impressive.

 

Idiot

 

Well the day has started well, with Leeds 2 down...

Come on you Spurs

Edit. Make that 3-0

 

They've drawn 3 of their 4 games im Feb, BL although won all 4 in Jan so over 8 games a good run.

Time for a loss, maybe?

 

Nothing can be an anti climax after what we've put up with so far this season.

 

Now up to Cooke to really knuckle down and make that place his Lancs - with his skill levels Hughes will like him but he has to put the effort in and aim to be first name on the team sheet

 

Songo'o is an absolute f*cking donkey.

 

I'd have backed my granny one and one with f*cking Songo'o.
She's been dead since 1976!

 

We need a lot more than that.

 

Transfer windows exist for a reason, hopefully now the club realises it's not just a formality to partake in them, but the point is to actually IMPROVE your team.

Talent is talent and some of these players clearly don't have it
