    Not sure what Ryan Sparks has done to deserve the sack. We were all amazed to have Hughes as manager and he has been provided withe the tools to do a far better job than he is doing.
    I am not for this manager merry go round, but Hughes is under performing as manager, Stephan Rupp also needs to put the club up for sale for a reasonable price and move on and let someone who is actually interested in football have a go.

    Stroking his ego and getting 5 minutes of fame by signing MH. Thus, trying to further his career and fecking over Bradford City AFC. Just a thought.

    Not sure what game you was watching against Rochdale but our second half performance was nothing to do with the ref we were dreadful . Like we have been in many games this season. We don’t score enough goals but we’re hardly going to when our top goal scorer only gets 15 minutes at the most every game . Oliver is terrible

    If we are depending on Cook to help us win matches and climb the table then it will not happen. There have been 2 issues that have been apparent all season. We are not solid in midfield and we create very little from set pieces, solve those issues and we would walk this league.

    Yet Cook has bagged 16 goals even accepting that poor supply from others, one thing for sure Oliver won't help us climb the table with similar service, I agree with regards our poor midfield lets hope if as Hughes says there are more to come in one is a midfield player who can make us tick.

    Don’t know why people are arguing over Cook and Oliver, in terms of goals per minute both are doing good with the lack of service they have received. Although Cook should have had 2 more against Carlisle and Oliver should have had two yesterday but as they saying goes they wouldn’t be at this level if they were so consistent.

    Oliver has proven he can score goals at a higher level. Has Cook. Look I don’t care who plays where I just want a Successful team and yes I .would love for cook to be in there but I think the team looks better balanced with Oliver. Having said that the sort of form Cook was showing early season in front of goal made him undroppable sadly of late he has regressed back to last season

    Right watched match of the day and the good teams get 4 or 5 players in the box when the ball comes in whilst we have 1 or 2. Whilst it has been a bit better lately we play our football far to deep

    Rochdale's second goal being a perfect example when the lad put the cross in Rochdale had 4 players in our box, we are far too pedestrian going forward.

    The photo highlights another issue. It always looks naff to watch games on TV, to see empty stands, particularly behind a goal. Back in the day, a packed Bradford End used to add to the atmosphere. It must be soul destroying to be kicking towards that empty stand.

    It was normally only packed right behind the goal, pretty much empty from keeper’s right side 6 yd box. A bit busier to his left side up to the fence and then not much in front of the bogs/“refreshments “ kiosk.

    it only sounded good when some bright spark decided to hang a mic in the middle so spotty young scrotes like me could swear into it :thumbup: but I take your point, a filled end always looks better and helps to create an atmosphere.

    I'm talking "back in the day" - maybe before some on here were even born! It used to be well populated for home games and rammed for derbies and cup ties.
