    Its a hangover from when he said he didn't like the big stage and how happy he was at Lincoln.
    He as never been given a run so I actually don't know how good he is? They loved him at Accrington.

    Our front two when fit are better but as we all know Donaldson is out for a bit.

    All I know when you are in a job you don't feel valued, if your not happy or like the place, the work rate falls away no matter how hard you try some times?

    Yes, but not half the first team squad out at once. The number of injuries this season has been exceptional. And it's mostly been our creative/goal threat players. So I think that Bowyer has done very well to get us into the auto places given the loss of very good players. It's meant we've had to grind out wins instead of dominating teams but results are results, however you get them.

    Greg Abbott said at the fans forum we'd had I believe he said four bids for McCartan maybe we should have sold him during that January window because I can't see him being a regular if he cant get a start in our injury riddled team, his contract is up in June of next year I think it will be a parting of the ways for Bradford City and Shay McCartan.

    Hard to disagree with that. Even though he said hed tried to sign him before, hes not had a look in! He should have been brought on in the Vale game but it never happened. Strange. He has it in him to win games

    Bowyer just confirmed that McCartan has picked up an injury in training, and that he would have been in the starting 11 at Macclesfield.

    We really are having the injury season from hell. It's actually a miracle that were second given the number of quality players we have missing.

    What people say and what people do are two different things.

    If McCarten isn't getting a shirt with all the injuries we've had then he sure as hell isn't getting a shirt once everyone is fit again.

    With the amount of injuries we have had this season most teams in this league would be playing juniors. It’s a credit to Bowyer work in the summer that we are still competing. Had the injuries been sickness in the squad there would be grounds for postponements

    Credit where it is due Fordy. I doubt any other club would be able to sustain our good form with the high number of injuries we have been suffering with.

    It shows that Bowyer has recruited well

    No apparently he’s just a negative manager, forget who’s out injured, sensible management is just to attack at all costs.

    ignore we are the 4th highest scorers in the league, with 5/6 key players out which would walk into most teams in this league.

    I have no ill feeling but time to cash in/get off the books. Bowyer doesn't fancy him so time to go.

    Something is clearly not right when Patrick is getting on the bench ahead of him.

    For Bradford City he has been poor and I am not convinced that Bowyer rates him highly no matter what he has said about him.

    If Lincoln rated him so much then he would be their player now.

    His best position is AM for me and Bowyer would rather Harry play there.

    I think he will be gone in Jan.

    Is the negativity towards McCartan a thing?

    I haven't noticed.

    All those wanting him in, just where would you play him and in what formation that is currently better than what we have?

    Some Accrington Stanley fans said they could not believe we paid a fee for him .
