And if we are relegated bronco and the slump continues and if the season tickets sales are a disaster then people on here who wanted higher season ticket prices will get they wish.

Probably £300 to £400 pound wish with a smaller audience numbers.

 

Hopkin said in his post match interview that on 70 mins he thought Clarke was looking tired (potentially thinking of taking him off) he then went on a run, beat two players and won a corner.

Furthermore the commentary sounded unanimous that Clarke was MoM.

 

I think that us unfair on the supporters whom have purchased season tickets. To call them fairweather fans is harsh. And I bet the club, the players and sponsors want greater support.

I didn't do Chelsea, Villa, Leeds, Wigan. I'll be there next season irrespective but I know others whom won't be and haven't this season. I wish they would come but that is their decision

 

Well the good old Bradford city cycle looks like we are returning to our natural home of div 3/4 football and nothing much more.

 

I didn't hear the interview but think I remember the "run". He didn't have the pace to get past the defender and his cross hit him and went for a corner. I'm not knocking Clarke (although no way was he MOM), just felt Wood could have given us a bit more energy for the last 20.
What I though Clarke did do well was stick to his line and come shorter when needed to allow Chicksen the out ball down the line

 

Clarke gives Chicksen space and I thought he was a real attacking threat. We’ve got to drop O’Connor- he just hoofs it wherever he gets the ball. As much as Doyle has done well at other clubs, we’re not playing to his strengths. Doyle, Clarke, Payne and Ball could work well together if we played on the floor.
Got to say, Hopkin’s tactics will take us down.

 

You not watched Kai Bruenker then?

 

Bradford City fans are really losing their ambition.

How can anyone applaud that?

Football is for 90mins and for 45 mins we were shocking.

Plymouth we're extremely unlucky not to go in 1-0 up after hitting the post (people seem to forget this)

In the second half I firmly believe that Plymouth were happy playing for a point and sat off. At the end Plymouth were celebrating like they had won which backs up my point.

Yes, we had a few chances in the 2nd half(Doyle & Ball) . You're making out the Plymouth keeper had a worldie! He didn't he made one good save!

In 2 games we played good for 45mins - that is bloody unacceptable!

 

It was a key save from O'Donnell to give him his credit. Good save.

I think on the balance of it we would have deserved the win. Plymouth defended resolutely and deserve credit for that. The key chance for me was Ball's when he did so well to bring it down on his chest, it looked like he opted to pass rather than shoot which was an odd one.

My concern is that since January both Payne & O'Brien have struggled. O'Brien set such high standards so you can understand a drop off with a player in his first full season but Payne is a worry. I liked Butterfield in that deeper role and Clarke providing some width but whether that will be possible in every match, I'm not sure. Walsall are in some awful form so I'd love to see us go there with a positive set up like we did on Saturday.

 

Starting to think Hopkin takes Payne off every week to prove a point to the crowd.

The point being we needed back up for him.

If he brought Payne off to go 2 up top you might kind of understand but he doesn't.

Problem is mate we don't play like that for 90mins. Our team lacks pace, tempo and leadership.

We must beat Walsall now! Have too. No excuses.
