Pre-Season Friendlies 23/24

A photo with tomorrows SUN, expected by lunchtime tomorrow or you are b/sing again!

 

I'm not talking about what he's achieved I'm talking about his arrogance, which is plain for all to see. Starting with him empty chairing Huddersfield.

 

Absolutely agree

 

I’ll go for latter

 

Laughable put some facts/logic behind those comments, he left Huddersfield Town with egg on their faces do me a favour.

 

I doubt Billy Sharp would make a decision based on a few kangaroo heads who parade as Bradford City fans, I believe he got the abuse about his child after he'd scored against us at the Kop end no doubt they gave their mates a laugh.

 

Aye if he became available I would drive down and fetch him myself. And you know what? I wouldn’t care if he sulked all the way back. He is the best think to happen to this club in a lot of years, and his achievements is unprecedented

 

Didn't a certain Johnny Williams do a similar thing to us saying he'd join Bradford City then changed his mind and signed for Gillingham, he said location was his reason for not signing, he made what he thought was the right call for him and his family at 29 years of age.

 

You must have missed him arguing on the touchline every other game. His spats with Sharp were petulant and he has hung out to dry a young keeper for a clumsy challenge - who has being praised by Reynolds since for his conduct. Parkinson was a dirty player who liked to leave his foot in.

I still hold his lies against him when he was clearly speaking to Bolton but denied in the press. Dont fault him for going but his behaviour left a bad taste in my mouth.

That aside - the guy is still a wanka.

 

I wonder what the reaction would have been if the Hull or Boro keeper had done that to Cook.

 

I missed very little as he was right in my line of sight from my seat in the Sunwin during his days as our manager, there are very few managers who don't argue as you call it, keep your eyes open at the home against Colchester Hodges and Hughes never shut up it's all part of the modern game trying to put pressure on match officials to give decisions to them Evans and Paul Raynor are at it every game home or away, Paul Jewell was another he was a master at it, at one game (QPR away I believe) a police women actually called him out with regards his antics and bad language.
And rightly so to the challenge was shocking given the game was a pre season friendly, if it hadn't been Manchester United and a friendly there is not doubt Nathan Bishop would have walked, and you wonder why he was annoyed his star striker out for weeks,
with regards Reynolds he needs to get a little more involved with the game rather than making comments about Bishops apologies after the event.
With regard his so called lies about Bolton and why he left Bradford City your wrong as I've posted many times, but you believe Rahic's take on the situation, the same Rahic who many challenged every word that was posted by many on here with regards what Rahic was doing and where he was taking our club.
You have your take on Parkinson mine differ I'll leave it there.

 

Nothing to do with the pre-season results in my opinion.

After last season's failure (despite some claiming it was an 'improvement' or 'progression' it was a failure - the clear target was promotion and we didn't deliver) the club should have given all the confidence in the world to the fans to pick us up but instead we've got a mixed bag of signings, beaten by Gillingham to one of our targets and literally no wins in pre season apart from against a 9th tier side.

We should have been hitting the ground running from the day the players came back for pre-season to instil confidence in supporters ahead of the season opener but instead the general feel is not much different now to what it was before pre-season.

I can absolutely see us not making the play-offs.

 

are you willing to bet on that?

 

As well you appear to contradict yourself too.

 

I have definitely noticed a shift in tactics and seen it in the three matches I have witnessed . That gives me hope that we can go one step further this season.
In my opinion midfield has improved with more assist and goals in there and experience as well and hopefully Smith will give us the pace and goals of a second striker.
I have big worries about defence but there is plenty of time to get that right. I also wonder if Hughes is capable we live in hope. But what I am certain of is there has been no reigning in of the budget this year

 

I think, a mobile centre half and a strong left wing back would see this team transformed. As it is, it looks like there isn't much room left so we'll have to go with what we have unless we can get lucky with a young loan signing or two.

 

Depends. Accidents happen. It wasnt deliberate.

 

Tomorrow's game against Rotherham has been called off at City's request.
