Match Day Thread Bradford v Hull City

[willyfog]

In fairness Cannon had a better second half.

How on earth Wilks didn’t get subbed is beyond me!

 

[Shark Sports]

Cannon for me was the best player, having said that it didn't take much to be better that the others.

He had a decent 2nd half. I still don't think he's anywhere near good enough for the Championship but he looked good.

Thought we looked better with a 4 at the back too, well more settled

 

[Steven Toast]

Can’t imagine why Shota would bollock Allahyar after that when Wilks is still here.

He didn't even play badly?

 

[Kalman]

He didn't even play badly?

Who, Allahyar or Wilks?

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

That's the sixth time Wilks has run the ball out of play on the right hand side.

Wilk's first touch is awful, I know he hasn't been playing, but his touch has not improved at all.

It's because the result was secondary tonight. We wanted minutes into plenty of the lads. I've no idea how Covil didn't either but it was about protecting the players for Norwich

 

[Blaknamberblood]

Lots of Championship clubs going out tonight

 

[NewcastleTiger]

Worked hard. "Industrious" as the commentator called him. But with very little quality. If Shota wanted us to win, surely Covil, Wills and Cannon would have been replaced on the hour or earlier.

Putting them in the shop window maybe (bar Covil) not sure what shop that is mind

Baz Cooper-"The stats dont lie 2 shots on target against a League 2 side. Shows you the problem City have."

Yes indeed, has been the problem for over a year now. We dont create anything,

The problem is we are not in any way a cohesive team. Players all look lost. Nobody in there is a real leader that will pick up the team when it’s going Pete Tong.

Honeyman has left a huge huge huge huge huge hole in the side and has sorely been missed.

 

[Howdentiger2]

Baz is a sh*t stirring twat...

He's getting poorer and poorer, is it him or is it the influence of who he works for? It's just all for clicks

 

[Gone For A Walk]

Baz is a sh*t stirring twat...

Tbf, could clearly hear it on TV. Shota looked a bit stunned, not sure why (though I wouldn't condone it)

 

[Kalman]

Nothing I’ve seen from Covil so far suggests he’s ready for competitive senior football. I don’t even think he’d be ready to go out on loan to League 2 or National League. He needs to be playing with the Under-21s.

 

[DMD]

10 man Morecambe knock Stoke out.

He's left a massive hole because he's not been replaced.

There's a reason most clubs don't let players go until they've got replacements in the building

i think you need to let this honeyman thing go, anyone would think he was the second coming!!
We had the same issues last season with him

 

[willyfog]

Wilk's first touch is awful, I know he hasn't been playing, but his touch has not improved at all.

It was as if Wilks was wearing concrete boots trying to control a bouncy ball!

 

[Brucebones]

I’d still prefer Mark Hughes as manager to Shota, I’ve said it numerous times, I like Shota, but I really have no faith in him.

 

[Kalman]

Sorry but nah. We heard that all through pre-season. Cup games aren’t supposed to be training exercises. They’re competitive games. I expect my team to try and win them.

 

[Leon...]

It was utterly dreadful and annoying to lose to Bradford. But the positives:


We’re out of the cup

Our weaknesses are explicit, solutions can be found - and we haven’t dropped any league points.

Acun will chow at Shota

So, backlash starts on Saturday

 

[Shark Sports]

Sorry but nah. We heard that all through pre-season. Cup games aren’t supposed to be training exercises. They’re competitive games. I expect my team to try and win them.

So do I.

But as soon as Tufan, Greaves & Jones went off at HT, it was so clear the result wasn't important to us.

I thought the plan just made a complete farce of the game.
