    I think we can all agree ....... The squad is what it is, at the moment.
    However .......
    I don't think Hopkin is using the players available to HIS advantage.

    Hopkin has to find a system which sits well with our fit players, rather than try and hammer them into a jigsaw, they will never fit.
    Our squad may slowly change, but surely Hopkin has to adapt NOW !!

    The only thing that will change will be DH walking away.

    Don't blame Hopkin. The problem existed long before he arrived. You are clutching at straws.

    I'm blaming Hopkin for picking a poor team and tactics, when the choice was HIS. !

    Where do you get the hair products that Wright uses. Not a hair out of place looks to be good stuff.

    Come on did you watch that shower of shite today. Nothing the manager did or could have done can change what happened. The constant mistakes and appalling finishing is down to the crap on the pitch. No matter what team or formation you wanted him to play today, the fact is we would've lost. We are that bad.

    Absolutely garbage as with every other time he's played, I'd rather play one of the kids.

    His clapping and pointing to other team mates has improved, sadly that's all.

    He could revert to a formation that the players are used to and know how to play and are comfortable with and understand, That is the basics of getting the team to gel and perform and out of trouble, A basic 4-4-2 is the way to help a struggling team, Hopkin plays formations he chooses so he is responsible

    Who plays wide in a 442? Gibson and Seedorf?

    I can't see them being an improvement.

    Yes, Not the best while Scannell out but at least we would play football, compete in midfield and maybe be a threat up front, We play 6 footers up front now with no wingers so cannot be any worse

    How would we compete In midfield with 442? With the players we have got? I don't think any formation will allow us to do that as our midfielders aren't good enough.

    Totally agree mate - the problem is we just do not have good enough players no matter what format we play. With a 442 inc 2 young and largely ineffective wide men, the 2 centre mids would have to be hardworking and on top of their game and we are a country mile from being in this position

    Okay. City fans. This can’t go on. We can’t let it go on. We have to stick together and stand up against the regime. We have to act now, show Edin and Stefan what this club means to us, if we continue as we are we’re heading not only to league two, but possibly risking the entire existence of bradford city football 1903. Do you want to support a brand new club competing against Whitby in the northern premier? I don’t and it’s time to stop sitting and watching it happen.
