Most liked posts in thread: Seasons over

As poor as we might have been today, the season is hardly over is it.

 

I simply don’t get this two year project ?????
Does this project result in no real pattern and losing thousands of season ticket holders ????

The whole aim for a club of this size is to get out of this poor league at the first opportunity not arse around hoping that we will be ready next season ............ sorry but it simply doesn’t add up for me .......... come the summer should we stay down then no doubt there will be a mass exodus of players in and out so how does that help a two year project ?????

can the club actually afford staying down here and losing thousand of pounds doing it ?????

 

I was very much in that majority but to say I've been disappointed with what I’ve seen from Mark Hughes sides this season is an understatement.

 

not harsh at all how many times have you walked out of the ground peed off this season ?????? Yet again I was having a right good drink with my pals actually looking forward to the games and yet again they do that to you ............ I actually don’t mind losing I’ve had decades of it but at least if your gonna lose do it in the right way by test the keeper or miss chances ............. sadly that yesterday was not the first it’s another game where we have simply walked into a defeat
Stockport
Northampton
Harrogate ( cup )
Rochdale
Barrow
All games that this has happened I mean the odd one yes but that’s 5 off the top of my head and I bet you could easily bang more in there it’s simply not good enough and the sad thing is I bet there’s a few more to come before the seasons out ................ I actually thought the Rochdale games was the last of that kind of performance but that yesterday was even worse than the Rochdale game ............ you could actually make the odd excuse for that game ( the ref ) but my god there keeper like others before him could have sat with me for what he had to do ................ I bet Barrow won’t get an easier away win for the rest of the season ..............

 

As fans of Bradford City who's football history has mainly been played in the lower leagues we know we are not going to see pure football and 3 points each home game but what I do expect is a professional footballer to have the capability to do the basic's and give their all physically for the full 90+ minutes.

 

After what I saw at Donny, and then Gillingham, I truly believe we have turned the corner. I know we've had a few false dawns, but something definitely seems to have clicked into place with this squad in the last couple of games. Unchanged lineup? Smallwoods roaming position more to the left of midfield, and getting forward more? More possession upfield rather than deep in defence?

They seemed to just take the Gills game in their stride and looked confident, sweeping a decent form team aside with not much effort. I also noticed the players look fitter than before?

It is a good position to be in

 

I think Clayton is the type of player I was expecting Smallwood to be when we signed him.

 

Season isn't over but automatics probably are, even if not mathematically. We're not consistent and our home form is abysmal.

 

Sorry but he had part of last season to plan. I think a failure this season will hit the club financially. Especially if we continue the way we play until the season end

 

As bad as today was, and it was really bad, we've proven that we can bounce back from home defeats to crap like Rochdale and put a couple of wins together, coupled with the fact we have a couple of games in hand against a considerable number of the teams above us, there's still everything to play for, starting with a big Yorkshire derby next week backed by 4,000 away fans.

Such is the nature of this league, it's a case of win by all means necessary to get us out of the bloody thing.

 

he was at the Kiosks asking for a pie on the 60 minute mark he said he was cold and a bit hungry

 

I jest you not, one of the questions on my General Studies "A" Level exam back in 1982 (it was all multiple choice) was "What is a Freudian Slip" and I chose the answer that was a piece of Victorian Underwear. It haunts be to this day.

 

Don't think we will get an auto spot. I reckon those will go to Orient, Mansfield and Stockport. But still all to play for for the playoffs.

 

That's good Dave. We lose to teams who haven't won away in 120 years as a rule.

 

I’m not the most optimistic when it comes to Bradford City but to say the season is over is pure click bait. Its utter rubbish. Yes we are inconsistent, yes our away form is better than our home form and yes some players flatter to decisive but did anyone really expect much else? We are in league 2 and the old cliché that anyone can beat anyone is just as true in our league as it is in any other.

Stevenage have won one of their last 5, Carlisle got done 4 nil at home to Mansfield last week and I could carry on all afternoon giving you examples of how inconsistent the division is. Our squad isn’t as good as people think it is. Its very average. We have an over inflated squad and imo the budget could have been spent far better. Players like Chapman, Smallwood and Oliver haven’t been the players we thought they were going to be. Yet despite all of that, if we win our 2 games in hand on Carlisle then we are one point from the top 3 and as it stands have another 42 points to fight for.

If you think this season is over then id suggest you need some kind of education on the way football works as you are clearly clueless. What we have to do is accept that this team will one week beat Stevenage and then as baffling as it is, lose to Barrow the following week! Its best you get behind the lads and enjoy the ride and not make silly threads which crop up on here every time we lose.

 

Bantam316 talks nonsense and only comes on for a wind-up mate

 

True, but that statement looks even more ridiculous now.

 

Agreed, City have a regular goalpoacher and their efforts to supply him and whoever is alongside him was pitiful today.
The slow midfield wont get any quicker anytime soon as this is the way Hughes likes to play.
Wake me and the crowd up when summat exciting happens, please.

 

I have said it before and I’ll say it again, the issue in this league is that of consistency, this is proven week in week out. Anyone can beat anyone, it’s down to being in the right spot in the table at the right time to make a move at the right time. Sure we played badly today but yet again we seem to be naive and unable to raise our game against teams who treat coming to Valley Parade as their cup final.
Unless we are able to make sure we are able to raise our game above any team for every game at VP we will always struggle to get out of this league and go up in the auto’s.
