Bradford

I predicted Clem would close up because of last week and it would be no use cos we would draw worse than I thought as we're prob gonna lose. He either can't or is unable to do anything else cos of his options. Meanwhile my tip for promotion..Crawley look like to me they ll go up with Wright in their defence. Look what Lindsay is doing for them, I so think he would have kicked arse here a long time ago, it can't be rocket Science, so many good away wins for them. And look at us going nowhere for months. Can't be right.

Sadly I think the Yanks are just all wind and piss we are going to end up like Scunthorpe in a few seasons...

Clemence hasn't got a clue but I think the Yanks don't care..
Hate everything that's happens at our club at the moment,just feeling that the Yanks are taking the piss!!

Well there was us thinking we'd had all our problems solved with Scally going, turns out its no better, very sad is the overwhelming feeling, disappointment. Clemence is really really jury out, i think he'll come up short even with a new team, we won't get the right players and I think Lindsay will still end up coming to us. They ll pay for it in season tickets, can't have it all ways. Meanwhile Millwall are now struggling and will probably go down. No surprise there. Stockdale is a no hoper also. Awful awful.

You watch , The Americans and Ckemence put a spin on it about how much better it was than Monday, denial. We all saw it coming weeks ago, only ones who seemingly didn't was Clemence and his Buddy. What a useless bunch of so called professionals.

1.3 PPG now as manager.
Shocking.
Bottom of the form table.
Absolutely abject

We haven’t been promoted in our first full season under the ‘Yanks’ so they are full of shitee. Playground talk donut, they’ve made mistakes, we all agree but I would give them a bit longer before writing them off.

Delusion.

[bluebertie]

Delusion?
You clearly didn’t see the game.  He is absolutely spot on.  Three sitters missed in the first half - Hawkins, Masterson and, worst of all, Dieng.  Dieng then, inexplicably, shows the Bradford full back the inside and shoot, unchallenged, which Turner should have saved.
You can’t blame the coach for any of those - individual errors lost us that game which, with better finishing, we would have comfortably won.
Blame where blame is due, sure, but, on this occasion, it wasn’t Clemence.

Today's defeat will cement SC exit from our club.

If Brad pulls the trigger it will surely mean Jackett and Hess leaving too.

They were the ones who recommended him to be the manager after NH dismissal.

Josh Andrews and Josh Walker wouldn't make any promotion chasing side.

Take Ethan Coleman who is hopelessly defensive minded midfielder with you.

[stevolution]

How the hell has Dieng missed. That's an appalling miss. Mastersons not much better.
Don't think Hawkins was a miss, good save

The goal, Dieng switched off but I think. But most teams will be happy letting a fullback shoot from 20 odd yards with their weaker foot. Turner has to save that. And I don't like his Peter Shilton impression after, bollocking the defender.

[medwaystandgill]

I think the past few games and those to follow will mean that clems position is untenable. I'm guessing his remit was playoffs minimum, while we are now nearly technically out of it, the reality is that we have been falling short of this target for a while and it would have taken an upturn in form and results that only the most optimistic supporter would have believed in.
The goals for column has not really improved and the goals against is actually worse than last year. Yes the playing side has been under invested in and we had an awful transfer window, barring Hutton, but the man who needed to win today to at least take the play off challenge a bit further down the line still persisted with a line up that would have gained a nil nil at best. Clem then blames the pitch and conditions for us failing to really bother Bradford after going a goal down.
I actually feel sorry for the guy, being the manager of gfc is a hard job, especially with the dark influences still remaining, but nice chap as he is, clem is out of his depth and shown no encouraging signs that he is improving as a coach.
Hopefully club announcement on 29th April and another soon after. Or just say we aren't bothering with promotion.

[summerwell]

I'm not a big fan of Clemence but equally I'm not sure what other options he has in terms of team selection and formation. Hawkins is utterly useless and unfortunately Andrews looks no better. Walker is not good enough to be called useless, he is simply not a professional standard footballer.

To me our much vaunted midfield acquisitions were vastly over-rated and none of them has provided a consistent level of attacking support to the front men. In their defence if I was a midfielder with our donkeys up front I probably wouldn't bother tying to feed them with decent through balls either.

I just cannot understand why seasoned professional in our recruitment team haven't addressed the glaring deficiency in our side. Either they are terminally incompetent or they have not had any kind of realistic budget to work with.

I'd like to believe the Galinsons' commitment to GFC does extend to a radical change in personnel ,both on and off the pitch. So far I see no evidence of it.

But contrare you can blame the Coach, this is the whole point along with all those above him.
