    He's not getting a huge amount of minutes though. I thought he'd be ahead of Sharp and McGoldrick at least but it's not really turned out that way so far.

    I wonder if the club knew Wrexhan were sniffing around Patrick and that s why Bowyer didn't play him on Tuesday night in case he injured himself and the deal fell through :whistle:?.

    There was none @Yorkshire baller@Yorkshire baller said so, although rumour has it when Stefan came over at the start of the season he went back to Germany with a rather large suitcase with £50 notes in it.

    You have missed out McCartan. He has not really played enough this season, but if he is fit, then I would at least expect him to make the bench.

    He was never going to play - reckon we'd have seen Paudie start up front ahead of Patrick.

    I bet he's available on a free if he performs for Wrexham.

    If we can get shut of McCartan, that's two players gone on wages that are probably well above what they're worth.

    If one of the midfielders can go too, that probably covers Doyle without doing too much harm.

    But that's a big if.

    We know half of Doyle's wage covered three loan players, so we would likely need three to go if he's to come back.

    Good luck to the lad, can’t blaming him for snapping Rahics hand off at a 3 year deal.

    Facts are he’s simply not good enough, even as a player to come off the bench. But hopefully he does well then we can get rid permanently.

    I'm a bit on the fence regarding Akpan's future. He's been okay lately.

    But with Reeves, Taylor, Cooke, Palmer, Pritchard and Devitt at the club, we should have enough options.

    Keyword: SHOULD - because the amount of games Akpan has had to cover for that injury-hit lot is concerning.

    We certainly DON'T want to be looking at Gibson, Anderson, Devine, and McCartan, because the four of them are worse than Akpan.

    From Patrick’s point of view, this is probably his last big chance to improve and impress.

    He will be 24 in May and his contract at City will expire.

    If he is going to earn something in the future, then this is his main opportunity.

    Time to mature and start to think his game, rather than relying on his pace, which is getting him nowhere fast!

    Hope he takes the opportunity, but l have my doubts that he has the capability.

    In fairness to the lad he does need game time. I'm not saying he is good enough for us but he does need to play.

    The player we were told we'd get when he signed. Not his fault for getting big monies, absolutely his fault for god awful lazy performances afterwards. 18 months in and only now just showing reasonable form is in any which way a complete disgrace from your top earner. As an ambitious club we need to demand more from those on the big money when they don't pull their weight.

    At least one Bantam was on the winning end!

    I had £2 on all National leaue games BTTS at nearly 585/1 plus also £2 on all games over 2.5gls @ just under 800/1 and that was the only game that didn't :scream::scream:
