Today ....... WOAP

Agreed, let's hope the momentum does carry on.

Clearly people's opinion on how good a start City have made to this season is a subjective one. I personally do not consider it anywhere near a poor start - I refer you to Scunthorpe as an example - but it is also far from an excellent one. It's been solid but unspectacular. However, like I said before it has laid a solid platform from which we can build on.

Results have been better than performances in general but when you are coming off the back of a season where it was generally defeat after defeat then I guess the importance to the start of this season was to stop the rot and regain our confidence. I would say Bowyer has been doing exactly that.

 

Sounds to me like you go to VP thinking about nothing at all.

You don't smile when we score or clap at all or be happy when we win.

What do you go to VP for exactly? Cos from the sounds of it you aren't there to cheer the team on and support them -so its a pointless few hours of your life wasted when you could be home polishing your huge Merc or seeing to your midget ensemble.

 

Never said I don't cheer the team on or inside not pleased we win but teams like Swindon we should be beating.

Unlike Bowyer I don't fear any team in this awful league.

 

Did I miss something last Saturday ?.

 

Yes you did.

 

Agreed Jimmy.

I don’t agree with anyone that thinks we’ve had a poor start, because frankly, we haven’t. It is widely acknowledged that a very good side will pick up 2pts per game over a season. If we do, we’ll be close to winning the title.

And yet, despite inconsistencies in some of our games, we are only 3pts behind that target. We have only dropped 5pts from our home games, collecting 13 from a possible 18 (4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss). Whilst that is not amazing, it’s nowhere near being classed as ‘poor’. It’s our away record that is letting us down and if we can improve this, starting Saturday, we won’t be far away come May.

 

Your tree?

 

If he was lucky to get the job, who do you think should’ve got it? Nobody really wanted it in the first place.

You could say Bowyer was unlucky to get the job.

 

Think what he's trying to say is that fans were glad we won but we should be expecting to beat teams like Swindon.

 

@Fordy117 knows its only banter, should we be expecting to beat the likes of Swindon who came with a good away record unbeaten away from home this season, we know any present City side can be Jekyll or Hyde hopefully more Jekyll than Hyde for the remainder of this season.
I was confident last Saturday because we can see improvements even at Cheltenham we should have brought a point home but I'll keep my powder dry for Morecambe but I have put my prediction down as 2- 0 City .

 

Do you think we are pretty liquid?

 

We are certainly liquid not sure its pretty, work in progress.

 

I agree here. They've become like all scribers in newspapers / internet etc - guilty of simply writing articles because that's what everyone does now

Any sensible fan knew that it was extremely unlikely that we'd be fastest out of the gate - the fact that we're the fastest of the relegated teams and have been more or less from day one, should have had led to a more moderate tone of criticism, rather than the hilarious doom and gloom we got

The Forest Green was a classic example. Mark Cooper knows they got a lucky win, he more or less said so. Hence, if we can play 'alright' against a team who look dead certs for the Top 7 - did that warrant the negativity that ensured thereafter

To be honest, I've been optimistic right from minute one against Cambridge, simply because I saw a team that was fighting for every ball as an actual TEAM for the first time in 20 months

 

Its just refreshing to see us compete, score and actually win games... hadn't seen that for ages. I still have nightmares of Oxford away last season arggghhhhhhhhh

 

Hi Fordy. Although I agree with your scepticism I don't think this league is as bad as you say or I expected. Take Cheltenham, I think we would call them a small club but they looked very good (which is annoying) and showed the benefit of keeping faith with a group of players.
People look at you as a bit of a wind up merchant, a bit like myself. That maybe true to a certain extent but like us all you expect high standards from all at the club.
I would be slightly more generous than you and give both GB and the players 5 out of 10. With Bowyer I expected evolution rather than revolution. Having said that like you I expect promotion this season. The players we've signed plus improvement GB can get out of last season's dross AND any movement in the January transfer window should be more than enough to get us up.
See you at Bradford-on-Sea?

 

I hope to see a squad mentality of not just
being in the play-off places but being top
and staying there.I don't see any better team
and the more we gel the better we'll get,bar
injuries and suspensions.

 

I couldn’t care less... I just love Bradford City
