    Too many people on here dont live in the real world,what were people expecting with Ryan getting his promotion and stuart getting an extension that all of a sudden the players would develop several inches to be able to compete in the air?the players to develop two more yards of pace?and the players developing that inside desire and professionalism?
    It didn't matter who replaced rhodes or even if stuart was relieved of his duties ,the squad assembled is dire ,2 or 3 signings in January wont make much difference either,it goes much much deeper than that and no amount of bitching,name calling and demands on here wont change a thing.
    We are in a battle make no mistake and not just to stay in the football league....

    I wonder if Stuart and Ryan were waiting for one another to sign on the dotted line Friday. Seems a bit of a coincidence they were both announced on the same day , within hours of one another ???

    But Black was disappointed with the defeat yesterday obviously he was expecting some sort of miracle improvement, I think the whole club from top to bottom is in denial. They have no comprehension of the mess the clubs in. If McCall thinks two loan players are going to solve this teamsite problems, well I'll leave it up to you.

    I don't think beating Leyton Orient should be considered a miracle or an unrealistic ambition.

    Christ almighty.

    Nice one.

    Any suggestions on how to start rectifying it or was it your aim just to state the bleeding obvious?

    Black couldn't say much else could he?
    Hes Stuart's assistant and mate and if he came out and said exactly what you me and others can see then he would be stepping over the line.i bet in private himself stuart and others are shocked and alarmed at the squad ,but with very little budget left a full overhaul in Jan cant and wont happen will it?so we are left to get real and sweat it out as theres nothing me,you or other so called genuine fans can do about it.
    The only thing weve got at this moment in time is us the fans,the club more than ever needs us to get real,forget promotions,forget the wells and Hanson's and realise we are very very close to that dreaded trap door, every point every hard thought win should be greeted with joy because until we are in a safe position which could easily go down to the wire the amount of negativity which the forum and the net in general generates cant be having a great effect on the club can it.
    There will be a time soon that the fans can have there say and shout from the roof tops how bad person a b and c are but that time is not now!

    What makes us as a team have the devine right to beat any of those above us?
    We have been left with a mediocre squad and a few kids thrown in and are expected to just turn up and roll over whom ever is in front of us,you know full well that doesn't happen in the real world.

    Mate do you actually think Mcall can get us some decent signings in the transfer window?
    I for one have zero confidence in the mans ability to spot a decent player. Let’s face it he signed Sutton (Rubbish) Clarke (bang average at best) Samuels (played one good game against our joke defence) and got himself a loan deal.

    The guys a complete Joke and the sooner we come to realize it the better.

    he will send us to the conference Simple.

    I'm sorry, but i can't take any poster seriously that can't spell our managers name correctly after some 40 years with the club. It's not that difficult. McCall.

    You don't seem to have a good word for SMc; just as you didn't when you were last on here. Mind you, didn't you used to be a big fan of Rahic's?

    There's actually a fair bit in the pot to spend by stuarts own admission in previous interviews. Not enough for an overhaul but if we aren't stupid and do our business properly (big asks) we can sort this out to make sure we dont go down.

    The way out of this mess is to play 442, sign a big dominant right sided centre half to replace AOC, a left full back to enable Wood to be pushed up to left midfield (like Parky did down the right with Darby and Tmac) a midfield leader (like we almost got in Jim O'Brien), a striker who can compliment Novak and a right winger.

    Then relegate AOC, BRE, Cooke, Donaldson & Clarke to the bench and attack teams down the left without leaving defence exposed.

    Sadly, Stuart is convinced that 3 at the back works (it doesn't in this alehouse league)and that will be our downfall.

    We don’t have a divine right to beat anyone but we can allow ourself to have some sort of standards . I’d love to know when we let our standards drop and expectations . At the minute it just seems like we’re just happy to make up the numbers in the league . I expect Bradford city to have more than one shot in 90 minutes from penalty spot .

    Shots on target
    Oldham - 1
    Leyton Orient - 2
    Salford - 2

    Its a poor return in our last 3 games . The minimum fans should expect is to at least have a go but we don’t even do that
