Oh, and that nobody at any point thought that when we had the ball it might be a good idea to try to move into space so they'd be available to receive a pass. This in spades. We've been doing this since the January collapse and it's fucking infuriating. It's like the thing to do with the ball is get rid of it and make it someone else's problem.

From Parker's live blog...
"Another Wycombe corner - they look half a yard quicker ... City not turned up at all yet ... Crowd getting restless and quite rightly. Poor stuff from the Bantams ... Boos as a hopeful City pass flies harmlessly out of play ... Natives getting very restless - City don't seem to have an idea. O'Connor just passed back to his keeper three times in 30 seconds ... And again a poor corner from Payne ... Boos again after an aimless pass forward from Chicksen ... Few fans making their point to Rahic at half-time in front of his box ... Almost a resigned air around Valley Parade - the only noise coming from the travelling fans. City have given their fans absolutely nothing to get excited about ... City have everyone bar O'Donnell in the Wycombe half. Not that they are looking any closer to scoring ... Cheerio, cheerio taunt the away end - a fair few City fans have seen enough and head for the exits. Don't blame them one bit ... That's it, no late rescue act. Poor, poor, poor ... "
That's going to be the story of our season, isn't it?

What worries me as much as anything is the fact that neither centre back could use the 10 or so metres of space in front of them to bring the ball forward, instead they either launched the ball to no one, or passed back to O'Donnell.
Gompers clapping Akinfenwe, fuck me.
Who'd have thought we'd be in such a position early on....most, if not all, on here!

Nobody was shouting and bawling though. I've got the ball, nobody to pass to and I'm being rapidly closed down. I'm either going to lose it and look a useless cunt or have to pass back to the keeper and look like a negative cunt and NOBODY GAVE A SHIT. Serious lack of passion from back to front.

What reason could we have for clapping a player on who's never played for us or even considered signing for us?

In 2012-13, we had a number of players who played 50+ games - Hanson with 58, plus Wells, Darby, Jones etc. Now we've got players who are tired after four or five matches?

We've been doing this since the January collapse and it's fucking infuriating. It's like the thing to do with the ball is get rid of it and make it someone else's problem. This is when you know it's rotten to the core and it will take a lot of turning around. When they're not showing or moving for the ball it's because they're scared of being the one to fluff it so it's safety first, stay in your little zone and pass the ball on and the blame with it as quickly as possible. Hate to harp on about the PP days but it's relevant. You couldn't imagine Jones, Meredith or even Kyel Reid hiding away like that. He put a lot of faith in the players' attitude and seemed to have a knack of building strong teams with leaders on the pitch. This rookie is way out of his depth.

That was as bad as it's been for a long time. Worse than the arse end of Todd, or Jackson, or Taylor or when it went to shit under McCall the first time. At least they looked like they gave a shite in the past, this lot are both clueless, gutless and look like they couldn't care less. Either they fuck that clueless twunt off and employ somebody who can knock them into some kind of team, or it's back down to the shitpool City go. I'm voting with my feet, not going again until that scruffy bearded pikey departs , I'll find something else to do, would rather stick red hot pins into my scrotum than watch that shower of shit masquerade as professional footballers.

Everyone seen the tweet with a picture from today of Edin with his head in his hands? Says it all.
Collins can’t fix this. Even if edin sacked him, then what? No fucker wants to coach us

Ten players out there starting today who weren't here last season plus Chicksen who didn't play much due to being injured /chronically shite.
They don't give a shit. Why would they? Bradford City has gone. There's barely a stalwart in the background left. Nobody knows who Bradford City is or was anymore down at Valley Parade.
We're an empty vessel with no soul and no connection to our history. No wonder there's no passion on the pitch.

It’s teetering on the brink of implosion. And when it implodes it’ll stay imploded.
We don’t have the bottle or leadership to deal with a relegation dogfight.
I think there’s a fair chance Collins won’t see another home game. I can see arsehandings at the seaside two games running.

Blackpools gonna be worse than last year. Speaking of which, what did we ever find out what happened there? Fall out from the Hendrie thing, or was there another one?
