Most liked posts in thread: Rate our season out of 5

I'm giving Ryan the benefit of doubt for now, but in many years of working in financial services I've seen hundreds of Ryan Sparks types who come into an organisation, spout absolute corporate ballcocks for a year, do untold damage to staff morale and customer goodwill before disappearing to the next slot on their cv to repeat the process.

So far he's talked the talk, but he needs to back that up this summer or he's going to lose a massive amount of goodwill.

 

I’ve worked with one or two of them, these people know exactly who to be nice to and when but cause chaos amongst everyone else. They view everything as a competition with them as the only winner, every success is their success and every failure someone else’s. Think they know everything but know nowt. I despise them, lowest of the low.

It is better to have a hole in your organisation chart than an arsehole in it.

For clarity not saying Sparks is like that.

 

A 0 star if we got relegated even though there was no rating for that.

It’s not been good has it? We are looking likely to finish 14th even 15th. Worse than last season and the football is getting worse week by week.

yeah a little down tonight. One of our fanfare signings goes Thursday. We lose again without a whimper. Not much to get positive about

 

Zero for me.

A non starter of a season for me without being able to attend.

It's a season I am willing to completely write off as if never happened.

 

1 Star, if zero was an option it would be chosen. Were Bradford City, how anyone can be happy/ satisfied with were we currently are (literally dont care where we were 3 months ago) is a joke. Complete write off of a season.

 

- 5!!!

Awful!

 

2. Started as a 2, soon became 1 and falling, rose briefly to 4ish but didn't like the possibilities and thus plummeted back to the beginning. A wasted season.

1 star from me only because a minus wasn't an option
Highly disappointed with Stuart am convinced he would have taken us down
The highlights were becoming safe and the end of Mr Rhodes tenure
Biggest disappointment for me was working so hard to get within touching distance of a play off spot and then
for some inexplicable reason put the brakes on
Part of me says we would have been better not getting within easy reach
It's the hope that kills you !!!

 

My money is on Rhodes and McCall banking on another abandoned season and saving money by not signing, nobody with any idea thought Donaldson, Novak, Samuels and Guthrie had goals in them, that BRE and DMH were league standard players or that Pritchard and Ismail would go the season without a long lay off. The first couple of months were so predictable, even after the usual suspect declared a successful season after beating Bolton on the opening day.

 

Where the 0 option.

 

The wife and myself will be renewing.
I'll go to all the home games and about half the away games.
The wife say's she'll probably just go to half the home games and won't bother with the away games.
She's just renewing out of loyalty to the club.

Having a good moan is an essential part of being a City fan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As you say you’re connected with the club, no it doesn’t to be honest. When you were at Morrison’s if you had a disgruntled customer did you palm them off with well I’ve always shopped here? I’ll always support the club, but that doesn’t really explain why I should folk out again next season when the last few we’ve talked the talk ore season then the goal posts changed and out comes talk of 5 years to get over Rahic, maybe we should get you on the marketing team. Unfortunately most of us didn’t have directors privileges to attend games, 1 poor camera angle and hopefully the camera man wasn’t hungover and making it shake.

 

A 1 from me. We're going to finish bottom half of League 2. It's simply not good enough. The only thing stopping it being a zero is, we weren't relegated, a couple of youngsters might become decent first teamers and Canavan is one vertebrae in a spine of a team. Anyway I'm off to watch A Matter Of Heart on Youtube and piss myself laughing at that double act. Comedy gold! And they say Germans have no sense of humour......

 

2 stars. Exactly where I thought we’d be at the start of the season, given the worst squad I can remember being assembled and the terrible transfer window. Brief optimism now back to square 1.

 

You are right to a degree, they probably are victims of their own success.

But this is an overall look at the season so I’m not sure how you give it a 3? Another way to look at it would be pre season would you have given it a 3 out of 5 for ending bottom half in league 2? The club shouldn’t need miracle runs just to survive at this level. I think a 3 is very generous.

 

So let me get this right. You think finishing bottom half in div 2 is acceptable?

We have gone from outside the play offs to bottom half and you are rating the season as a 3? Really? Really?

 

What Mark would you have given had we been relegated which looked very possible in December. The middle was actually win the league form not mid table, but I guess your a little down tonight.

 

1.5 - difficult times for all the lower league clubs so cutting a bit of slack, and for a couple of months we looked like we might pull off a totally unexpected salvage operation only to revert to type when the opportunity became real

 

Two highlights, if you can even label them as such. One, the run of games that got us away from danger. It was very real no matter what some may have believed. Two, sad as it is to say, McCall leaving. We were going nowhere under him.

Playoffs should be absolute minimum aim for us in league two. 1 star. Roll on summer.
