    I think Halliday is easily good enough. He's been one of the better and most consistent players this season in my opinion

    Platt has proven to be a decent signing

    I'd love to have the Q & A session we had with Adams, but with Hughes and Hodges. Why the zonal marking? Why the limited use of a large squad? Why nobody left up at corners? Why persist with poor set piece players?

    Was on the cards from the minute he went out on loan in January. Good move for him and wish him well.

    You have to ask why none of these sugar daddies are interested in buying Bradford City (a ready made Championship club)

    He used us to drive up his wage at Gills. Two faced interview on Kent Live, “I feel like I’ve come home”. Better off without his type.

    I understand there will be two incoming transfers announced on Friday, one from a Premiership club, not sure if they are signings or loans.

    Exclusives? So you want Parker to announce our signings before the club does?
    Good luck with that.

    Mid table at best? We haven't suddenly regressed to being a bottom half team.

    I've no idea where we will ultimately finish but it'll be similar to last year. There isn't circa 12 better squads than ours. Lots of hype this year around other teams, not seeing lots to actually back it up.

    You keep mentioning them and not in a positive way. Lets be honest we'd all love to have them on board, look at what they've done for the town of Wrexham. They could have done more for Bradford than Bradford council have done for decades in terms of publicity.

    The player in question is Tyreik Wright on-loan.

    We went in for him 5-6 weeks ago and were told to wait nearer the end of pre-season. We’re approaching that time where they need to decide. They have just signed Morgan Whittaker, which could help our cause, but conversations have fallen quiet over the past week.

    Right now, from what I understand, it’s 50:50.

    It also speaks volumes for his integrity that he chose not to sell to the snake oil salesmen when he had the chance.
    Folk slag him off but we could have been exactly where Crawley are now!

    Add Pointon as an 'IN'. He will have a part to play this term and replaces Dion/Nevers/Costelleo all roled into one.

    I was looking at his record at FGR earlier... 9 goals in 51 league appearance over 2 seasons. Hardly scintillating for a recognised striker. I'd like to understand why we felt the need to pay a fee to FGR for him (rumoured to be circa £80k but I don't know how true that is) and then give him an initial three year contract. No disrespect to Young but it does say something about our scouting and recruitment process to do all of that and then effectively can him less than 6 months into his contract.

    Good luck to him at Swindon.

    This summer looks like a cost cutting exercise to me. Although, we shouldn't lose sight of where we've handed out long term contracts to players who feature little, or who've even moved on. Oliver, East, Young, Derbyshire, Hendrie, Odusina were all given 2 or 3 year contracts. What a waste of money!
