    Totally agree Wilsden. I can't believe that any City fan doesn't realize that we need a total overhaul of our playing staff. No matter how Hughes et al try to make them more competitive in the short term, actions speak loudly. And what the facts show us is that we have a poor lower mid table L2 squad, who constantly make poor decisions and resultant mistakes that cost us hugely game after game. Rupp needs to fully fund a Mark Hughes overhaul, whether they be full on signings or loans. We need to get rid of at least 90 per cent of our current squad. Alot will go because they're at end of contract or loanees we have no further commitment to. Some others still on contract, must be moved on. We have to truly start again from base one.

    Who cares really Kev? It's just a bit of banter between a player and fans. He taken some and given some back. All good in my book.

    Is Bass any better? From what I've seen he rushed to the edge of the box, holds onto it for another 5 seconds despite various options available to him and then waves everyone upfield for a big punt up the middle.

    South Leeds, Huddersfield, Hull, a lot of Liverpool, most of south Manchester, Most of NE Manchester. Bradford isn't the shitehole some people make it out to be. If you don't like it, go live elsewhere. Hell, I lived in leafy Bedford for two years as a child and going back to visit family I see what a shitehole parts of that place are now.

    The biggest problem with Bradford is litter and fly tipping. If you think we have a dirty City Centre, take a stroll around Manchester. What Bradford needs is a council that takes pride in it's environment and a lot of ills will be cured.

    I would suggest having a manager accepting that players make mistakes and learn from them would be a good thing. When goalies do make mistakes more than often they are crucial. i expect he was buzzing from his previous save and still had that adrenaline. As he matures he will learn to manage that

    Survival is all that matters, happy of we make ourselves hard to beat and would take a draw to stop the rot and one point to the survival fund.

    He was garbage before his spell at Swindon and would have probably been met with the same fanfare as Robinson was if we’d have signed him, I doubt we’d have got out of him what Swindon have you only have to look at Doyle to see because someone thrives one place doesn’t mean they will elsewhere. We have been a strikers graveyard for years and rarely play to their strengths.

    I'd think unless your prepared to hang around getting his autograph today may be difficult, I'd think he'll already be at the ground now and post match there are interviews etc, if you could get a couple of hours take your lad down to training at Rawdon Meadows at Apperley Bridge good luck.

    He's had a decent lower level career and been successful in that context at several clubs.

    He didn't play under Adams, because Adams had a personal grudge. Simple as that.

    He is, but its the whole back 5 thats a problem.

    Positives today. Long-term, I'm more optimistic. Short term, I hope that defence doesn't get us relegated

    When your luck is rock bottom……?

    Much , much better , but the centre of defence …… Who said Paudie is an asset?

    Yes for the opposition perhaps?

    Hughes will get there but with an awful lot of squad changes.

    They are 8th….Blimey , it shows how dire this divi is!

    Luckily for us Carlisle got a last minute winner. No harm done

    Also, McKirdy might be a total tool, but in the last five minutes you could clearly see he wanted the win more than any other player on the pitch. He still looked fresh and still had pace, and kind of ran us down.

    No idea whg you think ROD will improve a back four, where we've just had two of the worst performances from a LB and we've a midfielder playing at CB.

    Amazing that Bass makes an outstanding save, the others then make error after error, resulting in Bass's error - but of course let's throw the loanee under the bus and forget why ROD was dropped in the first place.

    Paudie was poor. And the award of MOTM to Songo'o was a joke.
