And the more I look at it the more I conclude we completely fucked the January transfer window up. 7 months since the season started and we still haven't addressed the biggest holes of a grizzled centre back who'd run through a brick wall, a professional target man and not an amateur German or a winger who's actually a winger. Paudie o Connor and that Anderson bloke. What great signings they've been.

We're fucked. There's no goals in the team, there's no defensive stability and there's no tactical know how. First half best Bradford player, Hope Akpan, first player subbed, Hope Akpan. Dreadful by HopkinS, and another passing of the buck in the interview.

Ratings from Chicksen to ten:
O’Donnell: 5. Kicked possession to them time and time again. Caddis: 6. Got in the way a bit. Not much else. NKP: 2. Fucking awful. Weak as vegan’s piss and continually shepherds his man inside. Dunce. Mellor: 5. Nothing Chicksen: Chicksen. Not a footballer. Any manager worth his salt wouldn’t select him. Akpan: 2. Dark matter. He’s there in theory but we don’t know why, what he does or how much of him there is. Butterfield: 3. Almost as anonymous as Dark Matter. L O’B: 6.5. The only man on the pitch with any gonads. Payne: 5.5. Quiet. Occasional flash of skill but nothing to show for it. Ball: 5. Tried hard I suppose. Miller: 4. Not sure what Barnsley have seen in him but I’m not seeing it.
HopkinS: Chicksen. Wrong from the off, wrong throughout and wrong afterwards.

Below Chicksen, I have tears in my eyes

Trying the old McArdle to Hanson routine without either McArdle or Hanson.
Shit defence.
Decent midfielders bypassed by hoof.
Our only strength in this squad is in midfield but we're deploying long ball tactics. It's thick as fuck.
Look at them today. A monster at the back mopping up our shite, hard work in midfield and talent up top. They haven't got 11 brilliant L1 players.

Miles better than Butterfield who was basically invisible or just gave it away constantly. No way Caddis deserves a 6. So many times he got into a position to cross, or try make something happen. What did he do? Smash it at their centre back How the fuck is lob a 6.5 either? What did he actually do of any consequence? Sort your fucking shit out you deluded twat

In all seriousness though, I’m just not seeing it with Akpan. To me he seems to avoid getting properly involved. He makes very few tackles, only ever passes short, doesn’t challenge for headers and isn’t the most mobile. He seems to be neither an attacking or defensive midfielder.

Akpan took an age to make a decision and then played the safe option every time, even when we had a chance to break.

Thinking about it that was worse than the Southend and Barnsley performances.
At least today we were only one goal behind the most of it so i suppose in theory we were still in it for most of the game, but to be as limp and clueless as we were is inexcusable. A couple of soft headers straight at the keeper was all we could manage, and it wasn't like we were being ripped apart.
Oh yeah, another thing - you know the gompers are all out of positives of any sort when they start praising the opposition. Fair amount of praise aimed at Fleetood tonight.

Your ratings are fucking shite man. How do you expect to be taken seriously? Fuck off over to C&B with the other coffin dodgers. Mellor indeed.

It would have been easier to just rate every one of them as dogshit but I tried to separate them like the Bristol Stool Chart. It was fucking awful. They were all awful.

Even the cunts who weren't playing? Especially them. Imagine not being able to force your way into that team. It all just feels so pointless I can’t even be arsed mounting a spirited defence of my ratings. Watching shit players and a shit tactic fail time and again just sucks the life right out of you. I’d have been better off taking the dogs for a shit today. It’s all just a predictable waste of time. Neshead I could use a hug.
