7 subs today. 4 subs with no appearances at all. The other 3 had 22 games between them. Let that register for a second just how weak that is, even with just 1-2 injuries. Fuck me, that's as good as a bench filled with amateurs. Twenty two appearances between seven players and yet our recruitment was good and it's the coaching that's at fault. Fucking wake up, cunts, we're fucked at both ends. The coaching is shit and our recruitment was a shambles. Looking at the bench today gives you the awful realisation that this shit show is only going to get worse. People have been duped about the recruitment, after seeing them in action they ain't that much better if any than last season. Akpan and Wright and dire, as is Riley and Mellor. Miller runs about a lot but then so does Bruenker. Doyle and Payne do have a touch of class but look wasted in team organised by the chuckle brothers. O'Donnell seems to have been dragged down to the others level and don't ask O'Connor to pass the ball. I hope you clever cats took 11-1 for relegation when it was available. I'm kicking myself for missing out.

They were 7s i think even during pre season, more fool me probably, but couldn't back a City team to get relegated. Can't wait for seeing us get thrashed by rochdale at home in october and getting a severe drubbing at luton away in nov. What an absolute mess. Happy to do a banner at luton for you lot if you like, not much else to do up here in November.

If you think the bench was piss poor today, wait until a few more suspensions and injuries kick in. If Isherwood and Kai are starting, and that’s a scary thought, who have you got on the bench? Clare and Staunton? We’ve been royally fucked over by Edin and his mate.

At some point in this debacle, money will come calling. Rupp is the moneyman here, and understanding the economics of a relegation will require him to step in. Rahic and his "I know football" bullshit will be gone, and hopefully a proper management and coaching staff will be put in place. But if Rupp also shares this "feeder" idea, the hope that City will surpass its high water mark at Wembley and progress to the Championship will be a pipe dream. We can only hope that some group comes in, purchases City from these clowns, and begins the process of repairing all of the damage done to OUR club...

I think Akpan and Mellor could be good players in the right team and under the right manager - Clough wanted to keep Akpan and build his team around him (his words) and Mellor was well thought of at Blackpool, and gotnin the League 2 team of the year two seasons ago.

Akpan and Mellor are gash. O'Donnell is a good keeper but he was flapping like a headless chicken yesterday. Colin Doyle got dogs abuse for that sort of shit.

He's been gash, but I honestly think we'd see a different Akpan in a properly managed side.

Good WoaP article today."Diabolis ex Machina", sorry, not sure how to link. A clear signal that we are fucked when WofAP aren't pulling any punches. The club may be able dismiss all the of negativity emanating from twitter, facebook and possibly this place, as a sign of the times, as ignorable keyboard warriors who are negative just for the sake of it; however with WofAP, Bantams Banter and even to a degree Parker now overtly criticising the regime, they surely do now have to take notice and do or say something. If all they do is continue to stay silent and just put out the bear-minimum of information, then the backlash is going to gather more pace. It's hard to respect those who have no answer to their critics, no stomach for a fight. Do these fuckers even have a rallying cry in them? Is there now one single person left at the club that we can trust or have faith in to get us through this? To convince us to have more faith? It's looking pretty bleak from that point of view. There's some pointy shoes that need filling but it seems that this role has been canned by Edin, who presumably just does all that himself these days. I wonder what the crowd will be on Tuesday night? At the rate he is going and with the total lack of anything positive coming from the staff and players, Edin might have to get used to experiencing the echos of an empty stadium during a game that nobody gives as fuck about.

I wondered about that in terms of WoAP, didn't uncle Edin have a mind control session for the bloggers et al pre season?
Jason seemed to write a harsh piece, then deleted that anonymous piece then said he was off to see Edin and hoped it would be positive.
Nothing further..... Parker clearly isn't sure.....
Let's not forget that Edin said they needed a DoF when he arrived, but since then has dispensed with the COO to take further control.
He has also dispensed with the first team manager too lol, given noddy Collins.
