Official Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United

[WightShrimper]

Sturrock IS clueless. 37 players this season and he hasn't got the best out of any of them imo. Hall, Eastwood, Mohsni, Martin, Benyon, Harris....all players with undoubted higher division quality yet Sturrock has them all running in 2nd gear....Time to go.

But do the players not have any say in how they perform? They may not do well if played out of position (the manager's decision) but the gear they play in is down to them!

The referee is an utter homer, one of the biggest tools I've see this season. Doesn't excuse our frightened, gutless, clueless display.

Torquay lead 1-0

When we play 4-5-1 away against a side 20th in the league table and even lower in the form table, and keep everyone bar Eastwood back in our own half when they have the ball, that is down to the manager's negativity. There is no adventure or attacking intent from the touchline.

Torquay lead 1-0

Obviously. Just need those Crawley goals now.

Not all the managers fault. Players need to reflect on their performance today after the game and this season. Do they want promotion? They are going to have to perform better in the final games.

Maybe I would agree if it were just one or two, but it's the whole bloody team! Clohessey, our Right back is looking fav for player of the season. A position which is arguably the least important on the pitch.

Gills 2-1 down, some good news

 

[Barling Magna]

Don't worry about Torquay anymore; it's Crewe, Gillingham, Oxford and Cheltenham we have to worry about. Our best hope is that Cheltenham continue to struggle, but they are beating Barnet now....

Crawley goals would be ideal so Crewe don't make ground on us.

How is Benyon getting sent off Sturrocks fault?

You are a tool mate

if I am a tool you are a pneumatic drill. It's not about Benyon it is about his management over this season.

Barker limps off - down to 8 players now

 

[r16sby]

2 late goals and we have our one draw before five wins on the bounce:whistling:

 

[Barling Magna]

Just one more sending off and the match is abandoned.....

Just gets better. PENALTY to Crawley

 

[Kestrel]

nope - we would need 2 more sent off

 

[Jai]

A Crawley equaliser would suit us.

 

[sufc_dave]

1-1 Crawley

 

[superblue24]

I expect PS will go at the end of the season. RM is desperate for promotion and it's becoming clear after 2 seasons that he's not the man for the job.

 

[AdamTheShrimper]

What about his management specifically? what are you upset about? It's easy to say it's the managers fault when the team performs badly. Personally I think he's done a great job over the last two seasons, I think it's a few individuals at the club that need to change or leave.
