Only for thoughts about Bradford City.
Pursuit of something that is not likely to work out.

Curious as to what will happen next. Get through the next 3 games with a few good results and the games after that feel less daunting.

Onwards we go. Good luck to those who have left and even more to those who are coming in.

Wheatley and Evans in, youthful promise and experience combined. We wanted forwards and we got 3 - where all our forward players are going to play will be interesting.

We needed cover in midfield and we got it. It's a half-way house. Not admitting we can't keep up, but not "selling the farm" in

Donny to go down!

And Kav - that fella has some energy. Really put pressure on defenders and scored some really important goals on our way to promotion. Always gave his all and I hope he does the same for Oldham. Go well boys, there will always be a place for you at VP.

That it was disallowed because McCann showed a clip on the ipad then that is very poor. If he's made a mistake in the first place then he has to live with that. You can't use technology because it isn't in the league rules. Shocking piece of officiating all round. #bcafc

May have caught it in the kop.

Only frustration is the referee disallowing the Jackson "goal". I haven't seen it, but I have to assume it was handball, but that is all largely irrelevant. Once the referee has given the goal, there is no replay and the fourth official can't give that. If the story

Both things can be true at the same time.

It does not make me a "happy clapper" to see that positive, it does not make me a doom monger for pointing out we should be better after the start we made.

I will support on Saturday without booing, but will point out deficiencies if I see them.

One hand we are still way above where we thought we would be, but on the other we are now in full crash out mode. Saturday was disappointing and frustrating. Tonight was an absolute capitulation. Can't afford another one like that. A massive 6 days in front of us. Transfer window and Donny. #bcafc.

Turns out it's irrelevant what the formation is since we can't pass to a player, can't make a tackle and can't pick up a loose ball.

Tactics are out of the window at that point.

Waiting period for someone for a reason we don't know, that is nothing to do with money.

We just have to wait and see. What we need in the meantime is for the players to make up for yesterday in short order.

Put the marker down on Tuesday and we kick in and all this seems less important. #bcafc

Get this wrong and it could set the club back, get it right and we could fly.

What I don't think should happen is the fans suddenly deciding Rupp is the enemy again.

We don't know what the situation is - it could be the money is there, but there isn't anyone that GA feels fits, or that there is a

Do it, then there are riches and prizes that go well beyond promotion - we become more investible, more money means better chances of buying the stadium back or doing something with the training ground.

#2 might be the most sensible, but also feels a bit defeatist.

Not as easy as we feel as fans.
