Well yeah I agree. I was trying to stick up for him a bit. Half decent I’d say but not the answer. A half decent return for goals and that’s why he should be used off to the bench

 

Taken from a Bolton forum-seems shite players are everywhere
Doyle - 1 he’s had three sitters in the last two games and missed them all. Offers nothing else.

 

If he isnt going to invest in a striker, he quickly needs to invest in a plan B

 

I think some of the criticism of the front two is a little harsh. Indeed, Novak should score first half - no argument there. That said for the first 35-40 mins I thought they were industrious without being outstanding. Second half they were mostly anonymous and actually I think Novak should have made way for Donaldson who sparked a bit of life back into the attack.

As @Dratsab taf hints, in the current absence of this striker we all know we need - what’s plan B? DMH had a couple of small moments but was more effective in his support back than forward. There were a few around the front two who had good moments but after 30 mins there was little to offer. Ismail looked as though he hadn’t woken yet today! Up to all those asked to play in an advancing role to step up rather point the finger at just the front two IMO.

 

Didn't Novak have a goal disallowed and two attempts cleared off the line?

 

The simple truth is that none of Novak, Donaldson and Guthrie are good enough and all three are contracted for this season. Unless that changes it's hard to see how we'll get anywhere.

 

Our set pieces have been poor since the restart, it’s hard to tell if we even practice them in training.

 

Decent observation. The corners need a lot of work!

 

When you say dreadful what do you mean?

 

So what is poor about them? The delivery or players not attacking the ball?Or both?

 

I mean that they're not creating chances or being hit into an area where we may create chances or those expecting the ball don't seem to know where it is coming to.

It's division two, I'm fully expect some misses and errors and general mess ups! Just looking like we've practised some corners would be great!

 

Four words.
Clinical striker required pronto.

 

We replaced Doyle and Vaughan is Jan with Novak and Guthrie. Whoever decided on that needs sacking.

When will people understand Rhodes needs to leave ASAP. For the love of Bradford City - Leave!

 

What is wrong with WyScout?

 

Nothing, it's a great tool. I think you'd have to use it alongside a team of trusted scouts though. For our level, would it find any rough diamonds in the non league? Our scouting extends to Stuart ringing Greg to see if he thinks the player's got something.

 

What makes you think that?

 

They’re so lacklustre it’s hard to tell so I’ll say both.

 

Well unfortunately my view is down to the lack of clarity on the commentary then because they made it sound like we had one good one all afternoon.

 

David Bairstow top cricketer but probably worst striker I have seen play for City!. The name Buck rings a bell, but honestly cannot remember what he was like, don't think either played many games though?
