You were lucky Yankee.
Some of us had to witness yet another poor performance.
I can't see where the next goal is coming from never mind the next win.
Things might improve when Copps is fit again..

It is difficult to make optimistic comment when there is nothing that looks encouraging around. Bradford do seem more vulnerable at home than their immediate rivals and their fans expect better than they have got for several years now which probably increases the pressure on the players at home.

So what we need is what we are really bad at, scoring the first goal. It's a long time since we sprung a surprise, but we might be due a bit of luck.

When was the last time we scored first, Southend away?
Not sure if that's right but once we go behind, usually infirst part of the game, heads go down, opposition see it and just tear us apart.
Anyone think Rob Jones could still do a job for us. He's not the fastest but was a born leader, something that's missing. Can't understand why we let him go.

T hink rob Jones is probably past this league now but he would have brought leadership ,battling quality and steel to the back four and the rest of the team,exactly what we are missing now and of course his heading ability.Think fergie made a mistake in not bringing in defenders instead of all the youth. On a positive note Curtis the goal scoring machine Main looks like being recalled after Sunday.<ohh>

Zigger, i think Jones could have done a better job than we are getting from our defenders right now.
Obviously he would have been a short term solution and i agree that it was an error to let him go.
In my opinion, the same applies to with Wellens.
Ok, his isnt as mobile as he once was but he was far and away our best midfield passer of the ball and he also has leadership qualities.
Middleton was a better player with Wellens alongside of him than he is just now.
Then we have the Andy Butler situation.
He said something in the changing room at half time recently that DF didnt like and didn't come out for the second half.
He was then benched for a few games despite the fact that we were losing regularly.

There is a theme here, probably along the lines that Fergie resents senior players voicing an opinion that is different to his.

When i played there was often a half time bust up if things were going wrong but we knuckled down and sorted it out.
The managers were never too aloof to think that players sometimes could have ideas that were better than theirs.

Our team is seriously lacking in "proper leaders" on the pitch and DF doesn't appear to be in favour of having that sort of player around the place.

I would like to see us go 4 5 1 for the rest of the season and just try to bore the opposition into letting us score

Once again we are behind, Proctor for Bradford.

1-0 down, we are going down. Only 7 minutes gone.

ATS F@#%$ up again!

There is just no confidence in this team. We have too many youngsters who cannot take the pressure.

Is it worth bringing MacKenzie back and giving him a chance. Can't be any worse!

He's back xon, he is on the bench.

Yankee, to many youngsters at a time when we need experience.
Haven't I been saying that for weeks.

Not arguing Hound. Where the hell is Copps, supposed to be back by now.

Three kids in midfield and four on the bench.
I wonder who could come on and change the game.

Stewart maybe...

Grant coming off injured, Middleton coming on.

I'd be very worried if we go down. My mate at work said. "Can't see this board wanting anything but the land"

Every week I find myself struggling to find an excuse to actually go. Just can't work it out, all we need now is players faking injuries and looking for another club for next season. That'll be the icing on the cake.

WTF is going off.

The whole situation is worrying Zigger,

At least Oldham, Blackpool and Fleetwood are also losing ..... at the moment

Copps is not right match fit NY so therefore didn't want to be risked.

Half time 1-0 down and to be honest I don't see us getting an equaliser, let alone a winner.

According to the BBC stats that's the last game and a half without a shot on target.
