    Some of the supporter quotes on DTAM are belly laugh out loud re their “entitlement” .

    Sometimes when I want a reality check I cast my mind back too the dark days under Edin Rahic and Stefan Rupp and realise how things can change for the better it just takes time.
    Under Stefans solo ownership we have somehow managed to galvanize and restore a faith in our club which at the time seemed impossible.
    Untill these so called big clubs for example Huddersfield realise they have no right to win a game of football simply based on past achievements they will flounder, they have no direct detrimental effect on our club whatsoever other than we play in the same League under the same rules three points for a win.
    I'm proud of our identity and how we've achieved it.
    Together we will face the inevitable highs and lows but at the end of the day we strive to achieve without apportioning the blame on others who think their fanbase is superior to ours.
    Thank god I'm a Bantam with my feet firmly on the ground.

    With the game being off yesterday I sat down at watched the Stockport v Huddersfield game.

    My thoughts are the longer Lee Grant is in charge the more damage to their promotion prospects are likely to be made. Huddersfield who started the day in fourth were content with sitting back all game in the hope to nick a nil nil draw. They made no effort to win the game and their fans must be livid. They played like I would expect a team in the bottom 4 would play, not a side looking with any realistic prospect of going up.

    I fear Grant might be gone by the time we play them which would be annoying as he really is useless.

    Totally agree. They had no right to expect anything from the Stockport game. Like you my worry is he will be sacked before they take us on at the dog kennel. They play Burton Albion away next week, if they lose I think he will be gone! A draw he might hang on. If we do manage to play them with Grant in charge and we win or draw tbh, then he will walk. The meltdown will be immense. They are already having a go at the owner. Fingers crossed.

    If Grant is still manager when we play them, then city fans should show their support for him, and chant his name

    And this mornings gem.

    “ It’s OUR cup final “……Really ?

    “Bradford - hate to say it but they are having a cracking season, it’s a big cup final for them and they will be up for it. Town to lose 3-1 and the atmosphere will be incredible toxic. Will this be when the managerial change is made? Fingers crossed.”

    The attendance will show that it's their cup final.. not ours.

    The commentators disagreed. They mentioned the inconsistent bounce and bobbles in certain areas. Said that it definitely played completely different to a grass pitch.

    That's no way to talk about your missus.

    As an aside, Remember playing on Oldhams artificial pitch and winning 2-0?

    He’s mastered the art of waffling utter bobbins.

    i think he’s like mcCall. A good coach and gets on well with players. But needs to toughen up to be a successful manager.

    That's what you get with grass pitches,bobbles and inconsistent bounce.

    Yeah and I also remember winning 5 4 down at Preston on one. All I remember is the diamond kit and I think Noel Blake scored? Don't quote me on that though!

    Not on the top PL pitches you don't. These artificial pitches are light years behind and completely different to the surfaces these days in the Prem.

    Always makes me chuckle and I mean that I laugh at the person saying it, in this case, Herbert Chapman. Anyone coming out with that line hasn't the brains to see that it says more about them than the people they are saying it about.

    Cardiff fans are probably saying next week will be our cup final.
