    Its a good guess but its not right. Actually i don't know the reason but you're probably right, we spunked the dosh on Doyle.

    Who the vast majority thought Doyle was a good signing at the time.

    Lets hope your correct a mediocre season in 2019/20 will not be good enough we need to be at least a play off team.

    When Doyle use to play for Oldham he use to concentrate in getting into the box.

    At Bradford he seems more trying to drop deep.

    We've a slow team as it is and what you don't want are your forwards dropping deep. Don't think he helps himself.

    Not convinced he's the answer even in div 2.

    Really? That's why he couldn't get in a shi&e Bradford City team last season?

    Is he better than Payne? NO!

    Yes, Payne is setting the world alight at Bradford City but no point recalling a player who is fat, lazy and found his level at Div 2.

    If we go down then yes have him in the squad but those who think he's the answer need to give their heads a shake.

    This is the only way I can see it Briggus. We can't have both, because it's hard enough trying to accommodate Payne as it is, with the squad we have. Add to that, if McCartan is not going to get as much game time, again he will feel disaffected, and both he and the club are back to square one.
    Hopkin needs to have a real plan in place, before he starts upsetting any apple carts.

    McCarten has said he doesn't want to come back.He loves it at Lincoln and he was honest enough to allude to the bad atmosphere at our club.

    We know the players aren't performing and issues with owners was also mentioned as being part of the problem.

    It's no good players trying to paper over the cracks and say "it's football". We know the club are in turmoil and hoping for a sudden turn in fortunes seems to be a pipe dream.

    A very dramatic change is needed at the top,otherwise we will go down.

    Billy Sharpe , just scored hat-trick for them.
    He was available in the close-season, whilst we were after cheap conference players.
    That's what gets you Championship football,

    Does Rahic adjust his salary according to his performance? He is hardly in a position to judge. He has consistently recruited badly - valued staff have been made to feel they can no longer work forthe club due to his poor management style. Any positives - good practices - business decisions are far over shadowed by his failures to date, seems incapable to take on advice to make good informed decisions and fails to take on board any lessons learned.

    So I am reliably told but city didn't want to give up on him and of course the £200k outlay.

    We have a whole bunch of players who aren't quite good enough for first team football

    Patrick, Riley, Seedorf, Devine, Isherwood, Gibson etc. They are reserve players who shouldn't even make the bench unless they are ripping it up in reserve games.

    Im not sure McCarten fits in with those, but he was too expensive for what he is. This squad needs a trim and hopefully Jan will be the start of it.
