    Problem with happy clappers is mate, they are blinded by club loyalty. They don’t want to see the obvious in front of their eyes. This clustefuck of a management team needs pulling now, Rahic has to accept he has no idea and bring in a management team who do know. Lets face it, who would take this sinking ship on?

    The biggest clown at the club is Rahic. Without a shadow of doubt, year on year progress has been destroyed. This is with more money too. Only at City.

    Been to today match, relegation is a certain if this is how we going to play for the rest of the year. midfield is nonexistence, up front tell it own story when they have Not scored a goal this season. A manager who is lost in systems of the team.

    That simply put was a disgraceful performance. Most of them players today didn't give a crap and are not worthy of the shirt. I hope Akpan never plays again, his attitude stinks, trying to coast through games without a care. The 2 youngsters Colville and Gibson put the rest to shame.

    As for Collins, clueless is the kindest thing I can say this evening.

    Relegation battle is a certainty under our trio of coaches.

    Please Rupp, act now, rein in Rahic and come over and try sell the club to a manager who can get on with managing, instead allowing the egotistical Rahic to have a puppet

    Midfield went missing for most of the game, for a big lad Akpan bottles a lot of challenges. Wright couldn’t captain a pub team, O’Donnell was doing more organising than him. Riley shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team and can’t turn with the ball, I lost count of how many times Scannell was in acres of space and shouting for the ball and Riley just passed it backwards every time. Hardly any service to Doyle, he can’t win headers so it was absolutely pointless hoofing the ball up to him every time. Completely clueless and I’m not surprised a lot of fans have started to protest already, they just didn’t turn up today. Collins talks a load of rubbish - fatigued? Already?
    Colville and Gibson probably deserve a decent run, they’re both raw but at least they looked interested and battled for the ball.

    I think that is fair comment mate we all see things in life differently, I don't totally disagree with the above comment, I think they believe they (or should I say Edin) have the correct things in place to bring the club sucsess and at the moment are not prepared to change it (remember Edin's comment about not sacking the coach even if we lose 10 games) unfortunately I think they will be forced to change their outlook of how a football club should be run.
    I just hope they change things sooner rather than later because if we get sucked into a relegation fight and we drop back into the kahzi league no matter how cheap the season tickets are many will follow your example.
    That is unthinkable after what we as Bradford City fans have been through over the last 16/17 years or so (taking the Parkinson years out) to find ourselves back in the bottom tier of league football, I'm not sure I could support owners who have taken us down that route by choice.

    Identical performance to just Tuesday. Shite. Just hasn’t had a moment of quality from Payne that the Burton game did.

    We look a side that has no idea what it’s doing.

    Without the ball we lack shape, we’re not close to contest for first balls, were easy to play through, we don’t press the ball.

    With the ball, we have no patterns of play, it doesn’t stick up front, there’s no movement.

    Awful stuff. This isn’t just a ‘new side gelling’. It’s a poorly coached and managed side. Not helped by the constant changing of players and systems.

    That’s the worst 45 mins at home I can remember. Seriously, can anyone think of one worse?

    That team aint as good as you think. The central pair are dire, the defence shaky as owt. We have potential upfront but will never see anything of it by playing one upfront and a god awful central midfield.

    The only 'note' this fella should be taking is his P45

    On a side note, the only player that looks like he cares is O'Donnell. Not sure about keepers being captains but he would have surely been a better choice than Wright.

    We need someone in that can organise a team and give them some direction. Then they need a team talk that says “Work your bollox off or I’ll have them in a smoothie”. Someone like Mick McCarthy would be ideal.

    Spot on! He might earn some respect if he admitted he’s made one almighty feck up that every man and his dog predicted.

    Is it just me or does it seem like Abbott doesn't want to help Collins.

    Abbott just sits there but to the fair Collins just stands there looking at his trainers.

    Our coaching team is a joke but Collins is the clown heading it up.

    Would swap all three for an experienced manager, Even a bad one would be better than the amateur lot we have now

    All 3 need to go. Cannot trust Abbott with 'recruitment and the other 2 are just way out of their depth

    I respect your choice, for 30 odd years I went to the games whatever position the club were in, Now my priorities have changed. I always felt that Bradford City and us fans were all part of the same institution. Now with these two I feel they couldn't give a shite about the fans, some of the things they do are just beyond belief, and as long as fans are buying season tickets they can carry on. Maybe if fans paid in per game they might wise up a bit and have to change their ways to attract fans. Just because that's my opinion doesn't mean it's right. But for me I don't want to back them.
