    Very true, like I said though, the next two league games are crucial for me.

    He was. He’s probably found his level now. That’s probably true for both.

    Being a cynic here.... maybe the early selections had a different agenda? Maybe to persuade the owner to cough up a few more quid? Maybe the Doyle offer was on the table for a while and he was reluctant? Maybe he needed playing in an unfamiliar role to give him a nudge towards thinking ‘I don’t fancy this’.

    Maybe not, but it happens.

    Yep fair point. And it's probably unlikely. But maybe he was prepared to 'sacrifice'a couple of games, and trusted that any damage would be minimal, if it allowed him to make important changes for the next 40+ games.

    No idea. But we looked much more balanced yesterday and his wages will hopefully allow us to strengthen.

    Its worrying that practically every fan can see the sense in dropping Anderson and Doyle, and playing Scannell from the start, yet Bowyer cant

    As for Longridge, all I can think, is that he isnt as good as Bowyer thought he was, and not up to English 4th tier football

    Positives, we are unbeaten,

    Negatives, lack of goals, no creativity, no midfield

    It’s only early and two games in so I will wait hat least 10 games before I really start to judge and moan

    positives - we have a cup game against PNE on Tuesday to try a 442 in a competitive game and see what happens. Please don’t play a weak Side GB

    Just out of interest, you are a prolific poster on here, and a good one, but why such an interest in Bradford City, if you are a Hammer?

    I was thinking that, but you would have thought he/she would have lost interest in us, once they departed. He/she very welcome on here, mind

    Positives - Over half of the teams in our league have lost at least one game.

    We aren't one of those teams.

    Negatives - we haven't won a game yet.

    Can’t believe Gibson gets away with his terrible performance he’s just not going to make it

    Listening to Bowyer post match I think he doesn’t want 442 because it leads to long ball. However and this is what I was hoping for by all means play the way he wants but be reactive and if it’s clear we are not able to get the ball down and play go more direct and get wide players on. This league is a spoiling league unless you have way above average footballers you can’t always play through you have to go round and over the top at times.

    Read it again, what does it say? Thats right, the first half was appalling. From both sides, it was non league stuff. Second half was better as a spectacle. My view might differ from others but i thought it was generally a pretty poor game of football. Some may be happy with 1-1 'thriller' against Grimsby, i wasn't. When they start to impress me i'll change my thoughts accordingly.

    Thought he looked lost in central midfield personally. Much better on the wing as game went on. Got more involved but still is hit and miss but suppose a league two player for a reason.

    Certainly our most creative spark with those balls to Vaughan
