    The fans, 16,000 today after the shit we’ve endured this last 4 and a bit years is remarkable. Non of the players are worthy of that tag and while Bradford City languish mid to lower mid table league 2 we should give any player such a title.

    Was at the end of season dinner and it was a great night packed to the roof, Paudie and Songo the main winners of the awards,
    Was sat with Theo Robinson who won the goal of the season award and was a top class all round guy and then of course the announcement of Walker signing topped the night off nicely

    The power of positivity can go a long way. Being negative, very rarely brings anything to the table. It has been said many times and we all know too well the club has struggled since 2017. I think the green shoots of recovery are starting to show,
    18280 fans for a nothing game on Saturday, with 16600 being home fans , shows that many believe it too. Yes we have a way to go.
    You may not have been bothered about signing Walker, but the lad is a good footballer and i am certain the crowd response as he left the field on Saturday will have gone a long way to making his mind up , money or not, the positive reaction he got would lift anyone's spirit.
    I for one am really looking forward to this next chapter, we may not gain promotion, we have no divine right.
    , but i think we will be entertained along the way, with better football than we have seen in a long time. After all it is the entertainment business .

    Although he has missed too many games through injury, I would still nominate Vernam. He is by far our brightest spark in a dismal season

    I hope we offer a new contract to him and he accepts

    Consistent in what way Park……good , bad , or bang average.

    Consistently liable to throw a tantrum and getting needlessly booked.

    Let’s be open , honest and say nobody has has a decent season in all fairness.

    i was one of the one's willing to be bored to death in the hope of climbing out of this league. Mark Hughes is in a different league to Adams in every sense. Even his post match interviews are a breath of fresh air.

    If it was my decision I would seriously as a club just say this season has been such a disaster that any player awards are all cancelled, let them realise how badly they have let the fans down this season.

    I think that's an oversimplification. With maybe one or two exceptions, Paudie has dominated strikers in the air this season. He very rarely loses a heading duel. His tackling is generally fine too.
    Other aspects of his game - positioning, passing, discipline - need work, undoubtedly. But he's 24, which is still young for a CB battling week in week out against the grizzled old physical strikers that he usually meets in L2.
    What he needs is either a wise old head alongside him - we thought Canavan would be that player but his legs had totally gone - or a quick defender who can sweep behind him, leaving him free to attack the ball, as Davis did for McArdle.
    I think there's a decent player in there - which is why he's being scouted by higher clubs - but he's had to carry too much responsibility in a poor defence for too long.

    Sorry but that's simply untrue. Early season we conceded huge amounts of goals because we were dominated aerially and even though ROD seemed to take the brunt of the blame both Paudie and Canavan were both equally culpable.

    Shoes and no socks is a big no go, fair enough with some pumps and shorts on holiday. But it should be an offence in a suit, as for the half masked pants don’t get me started, people were bullied when I went to school dressed like that now it’s ‘fashion’!

    It does bring it home when you consider this question.

    Whoever wins it will have had a 6/10 season at best.

    I wouldn't even bother. Wouldn't half send a message, if we're serious about not accepting mediocrity.

    Plenty were down to Paudie being beaten in the air but I'm not interested in arguing the case or digging up video highlights to prove it.

    If you think Paudie is dominant then fine, that's your opinion but when I think of dominant I'm thinking of McCardle and Davies and Paudie certainly isn't that.

    People didn't want Rory, either, when he went to Scunthorpe.

    Blew my mind at the time.
