    Whatever caveats he chooses, there can be no excuses for the lack of ambition..or indeed reference to!

    Well the excuse is a one in a lifetime pandemic and the absolute financial uncertainty, but if THAT doesn't count then you're right, there can be no excuse.

    This isn’t unique to Bradford City, every other club is in the same position.

    Enjoyed the second half. Turned it off and put Christmas decorations up.

    I take it, I didn't miss anything.

    And not many other lower league clubs have had a recent £3mill windfall from the sell-on of an ex-player.

    Just look at our recruitment:
    DMH - Rubbish but given a new contract.
    Guthrie - couldn't get in the lowest team in the league but we give him an 18 month contract.
    French - non-league for a reason.
    Pritchard - non- league for a reason.
    Donaldson - clearly past it yet we give him a 2 year contract.
    Ismael - serially injured yet we give him a 2 year contract.
    Samuels - no goals in the National League and yet he's the last piece in the jigsaw.
    Sutton - not wanted by Scunthorpe yet Stuart knows better. A red card walking.
    BRE - not wanted by Accrington, ACCRINGTON, but we know better.
    Paudie - looked hopeless to me on a first viewing yet we give him a 3 year contract.
    Evans - we give him a 2 year contract despite not knowing where he plays.
    McCall - another serial failure yet we give him an 18 month contract.
    With such truly amateurish recruitment is it any wonder we are where we are.

    Who are these 6 injured first teamers?

    Novak
    Cooke
    Hosannah
    Staunton
    Clarke
    Guthrie?

    To be fair to him those guys would make a big difference. You have to expect injuries though. Surely the likes of BRE have to step up in place of a first year pro (Staunton) in defence. Where was the Vaughan replacement, we got a cheap panic signing.

    just a rubbish recruitment policy coming home to roost from a manager we were told was ‘happy with the squad’ but now blaming injuries.

    He said 5 to be fair. Still, 5 is a stretch! But then I suppose they are first teamers when you look at our squad.

    If it's ALL Rhodes fault, then that absolves Stuart of any blame whatsoever.

    Quite right, but it doesn't mean everyone has managed the situation sensibly or correctly.

    It's hardly a sport full of frugal owners - apart from us of course!

    What I really, really don't get about Stuart is his dismissal of the prospect of injuries or even minor injuries mid-game,

    It's like because he played week in, week out until he was about 40, and presumably just played through the pain barrier at times, that everyone is capable of it.

    They're not.
