    I'm predicting they'll lose points to most decent sides, and that they won't finish top three.

    Might make the play offs, might not.

    Has he done a good job? Yeah. Is it relevant to Bradford City? Absolutely not.

    Kenny Jackett did against us when manager of Wolves. Morais had put us in front early and we we battering them. He changed it after about 15 mins and we lost.

    How do we know he will?

    He's already bemoaning a paper thin squad, a good start does not a promotion make.

    Only a couple of weeks ago I'm sure there were people who added Leyton Orient to every acca.

    I concur.

    HMS Piss the League is for sides that have momentum.

    We're Bradford City.

    Almost every season we seem to make a standing start - you don't win races by playing catch up.

    How we handle this season, Mark Hughes, and the transition to the next gaffer is going to be the difference between whether there is any confidence whatsoever in Rupp and Sparks.

    If we, as a club, don't get anything out of having Hughes at the club, we need to oust the pair of them - fast.

    At worst, we should be using this as an opportunity to get our house in order and build, build, build.

    Any more resets, we riot (lol, kidding - kinda).

    Sorry that should be 16 games this season.

    If we continue that sort of points return and we'll have well have 70+.

    oh for sure but I think there's a difference between having top 3 as the serious target vs chanting championes week in week out if you catch my drift

    We could do with a couple of injuries [only minor] to FORCE Hughes into making changes

    This next month or so is huge maybe it bodes well that 4 out of 5 of our games are away from home where this style seems to work

    Sound defence yet they are conceding - i would add to press they have added little from set pieces and corners to assist our goals for stat.
