Remember not so long back we would get 3000 for a 1st round match.

 

Im not even there, but our home performances are all the same really. Not enough intensity and not enough desire to earn the right to 'play football'. This side won't be going up unless it adapts and makes a couple of changes in January. And Hughes needs to up his game frankly, it's not good enough.

 

Doesn't matter what subs do they won't start next game.

He's got a starting 11 everyone knows including opposition managers setting there teams up.

Scout report on us play 1 upfront, play 300 passes a game at the back allowing everyone to get back. Slowest centre midfield pair in division who do nothing going forward. Don't worry about giving away freekicks as smallwood will give us it back by smashing every delivery out of play.

 

We have a big squad but I'm not sure how the jigsaw pieces fit. We are a supposed passing side yet we regularly get outpassed in midfield. The back four and keeper generally do a good job but that front six has never really clicked as a unit.

 

Over £40K prize money for a 1st round win,we want a lowly non league team at home. No doubt we’ll get Plymouth away.

 

Totally agree Rod. Don’t get this “draw a glitzy team” and go out guff. Non league like Tonbridge were but in R1 & 2, get the prize money then think of glitz PLUS gate money.

 

Halifax away on a Friday night for me please

 

Anybody who has experienced bonfire night in Bradford will understand why

 

Embarrassing

Mark Hughes needs a rocket up his arse. Simply not good enough.

 

EIGHTY-ONE minutes to equalise and we can't get a single shot on target.

I think it's time to give up.

56 years following BCAFC.

I can't keep finding excuses for dross.

 

How on earth Hughes cannot see that Smallwood's set pieces are shocking every week is completely baffling. I can only assume every other player is worse at them in training. Didn't Banks come with a reputation of being a set piece specialist?

 

That was bad today. Real bad. A limited side again outplays us and outpasses a side apparently built on trying to outpass the opposition. I've been a big backer of Hughes but it seems the obvious problems either don't register with him or he simply refuses to change. East and Banks make an immediate impact but that change should have been at half time.
Hughes and Smallwood both need to up their game l.

 

Boring aimless rubbish

 

Truly awful display today and it's becoming the norm.
Now I can't say I like the possession game and especially playing out from the back(I'm from the old school who would never play a ball across the 18 yard box)
But I understand times have changed and this is the fashionable thing to do now, but if we are to play this way then it has to be with more tempo and pace. As we are we're just strolling around and not putting the opposition under any sort of pressure.

 

Oh please save me from the big crowd excuse. They are there to be entertained. They deserve better than what is being dished up.

Something is not right. He said they didn’t do what was asked. Or words to that effect. Time for a serious team meeting.

it is hard to manage a big squad. They should all be wanting to play. We can all see what is going wrong, so the players must do as well. I refuse to believe they can’t rectify this.

 

I'm quite surprised that Gilliead managed to become a father.
That must have been the only shot he got on target for a few seasons.

 

I remember playing Alvechurch in the 70's, beating them 4-2 I think it was

 

Along with Derby, they are the biggest clubs in the draw by far
