    Hopefully so. I thought Sutton looked good at the beginning of T&S's winning run. He got his tackles in but cut down on the wild stuff. His pace off the mark allowed him to steal possession and break oppo lines and he got a couple of decent goals. His form tailed off later, but then so did nearly everyone else's. I can see him being a useful player under Adams, even if he isn't the most technically gifted.

    Honestly dont understand your point. We all have opinions on footballers.

    Agree with that. He has energy and a disruption factor, but is frustrating with his use of the ball - poor control and seems to run into people. If he based his game around a high energy style of winning the ball back and giving it to more creative players, he could be an asset

    Afternoon.

    That's last season. My reference to last season was about the capability of Bowyer and the capability of Adams. Both are able managers, both clubs have potential but as we stand, both have failed to fulfil ambition in the last two seasons.

    Moving forward.....

    1985/ 86 was pretty much a walk in the park once we hit the top

    So by that reasoning, I take it your writing off Bowyer and Salford. May I ask why?

    Because they have Gary Boreya as manager, heres their season Dave.

    Start well, probably top three until late November, drop off badly, sack Boreya in Feb, recover a bit. Finish eighth.

    Yeah, I'm good for that. If it's levels your devil's, £5 each to burns unit?

    Gladly, ultimately, can't back betting blind.

    Wait till 15th January. Drawn situation, easy payment to unit. Other solution, worth a pint on North parade on another matchday. Don't forget, I'm tee total. ;)

    Oh I understand,I just dont understand why you are pointing out the obvious. Seems completely futile....its a message board where opinions are shared daily - right or wrong.

    In future, you keep ya own mouth shut if an opinion isnt right. You just stick to the facts.

    We will see Dave , more than happy either way. I need to sort out when we can get up. ( I do miss the matchday atmosphere. Dolly, North Parade etc) although away games have different attractions I like.
    Perhaps it’s the Bradford camaraderie??
