Lowe has played 463 games and Hennegan 377 games as league footballers and have been OK today. Neither have let the side down.

Totally agree they are easy targets but have done ok  and yet nobody mentions the constant long balls plus the imbalance on the left while shorrock and Grant sit in the stands it's embarrassing. 

Play players in the position please Darren 

UTV

We won’t score with this eleven if we played till next Christmas. Sang into midfield for Lowe and Rico and Curtis on for Chislett and Hackford or we’re done. And while we’re at it, just drop Hackford off in Sheffield on the way back.

The only positive from the first half is they are as bad if not worse than us. One wonder strike that could have gone anywhere divides us. Surely we have to play better this half???? Okay I don't know how either.....

No changes at half time

Difficult post to write but…

I don’t think Moore is the manager for us. I’m not calling for his head, and he certainly won’t be going anywhere.

But for me he is the Gareth Southgate of league 2. We are overly defensive and now, even worse, we seem to have no plan going forward other than lump it to Stockley or hope one of our wide men does something good (which is baffling when Hackford is selected to play).

We have 2 of the biggest investments in our recent history wasting away on the bench … why invest that amount of money on players that clearly dont fit naturally into his system.

Yes we had a brilliant couple of months early on in the season… but that seems to have been driven by the quality of our recruitment RATHER than the tactics and acumen of our management team.

As other teams have played together more and more our chopping and changing to try and counter teams no matter who they are (including those at the bottom or woefully out of form) has fallen very flat.

Even when we were winning we all felt like the squad had the handbrake on. That’s on DM.

Carol promised us a manager and a team that reflected the area and the people… Gung ho, attacking, into them.

I feel desperately sorry for her because that’s not what we have and it’s a VERY expensive experiment (mistake?)

Issue is he is going no where… so we have to hope he can attract the right talent in January defend our way to a decent league position. It won’t be exciting and IF we get promotion (which we won’t at this rate) I fear for us with this set up in league 1.

It feels a waste of the biggest budget we will have had for a very long time.

Rant over. Merry Christmas.

Excellent post. I completely agree

Got another 4 years of Moore yet

suppose we might get a couple of goals in that time 

Osprey, he won’t be here for another four years, we’re sinking playing unentertaining football that has no style, can’t even be called route one as Stockley has to compete for the ball, just inside the opponents half, from a Ripley punt. If we don’t make the play offs, with the money that’s been invested then, he’ll be sacked. Forget the league position as we’ve not consistently played any football that will put bums on seats so attendances and other revenue streams will fall. 

This side won't get promoted... 45 mins to turn it round.

Yes. We're not good. We've got our entire midfield out and have done for weeks. 

BUT what drives me mad is people saying that Cook was going to destroy us today - after 2 bloody minutes. Other than that great but spontaneous goal he's done little. 

These look quite average. As do we. 

However, "IF" Moore brings on Curtis/Paton/Tolaj/Richards and we score in the second half then we get a point. If they score more than that we take al three. 

It's the negativity on here that truly stuns me sometimes. It's simply astonishing. 

Anyway. I've said enough. I'll leave you lads to cry in your beer 

Bradford are nothing to shout about but surprising what a bit of fight and a pressing game gives you.

Cannot argue that so far Bradford are the better team

Every Team are better than Vale in the past 2 months.  

Load of rubbish, you can always rely on Vale to bring a festive wave of depression into your life. Moore has no ideas, except to hope that Carol will let him spend more of her money. I have rarely watched so many games of football when the team has not looked like scoring for such long periods. Imagine this squad in league 1? We’d be cut adrift.

I don’t get what happens to our returning players- Clark, John, Byers, all come back the just disappear again

Moore ball is awful. What’s Mickey Adams up to these days? 

Bring back DC, asap .

Then you are watching a different game than me m8.  He's had one good shot that went in - other than that I haven't seen him do a great deal and he's certain not "destroyed" us.

Scoreline suggests otherwise. I agree he’s not been in the game but he’s done what’s important in football & stuck the ball in the net
