    That we are missing Bradshaw...

    Say what you like but we aren’t anything like the same team without him.

    That was lethargic tonight. He didn’t bring amazing quality but his relentless energy might have made the difference, dragging everyone with him.

    Oh well we’ve a replacement who’s allegedly going to be fit sometime soon.

    I admit it.....

    I ADMIT IT.

    will that suffice?

    You’re right like.

    Looking like a bit of a bollock dropped.

    Not a case of admitting it. It's been obvious. For all his supposed flaws, he was an absolutely vital part of the team performances early doors. Pressing and harrying from the front. It was clear as day that we'd miss him and so it's proved.

    Youve beat me too it I was going to post the same thing. Not been same team since bradshaw was sold. Not getting in a replacement to work up top with Moore is killing us now. Keiffer works his socks off but he cant do it all on his own. Needs someone to work with him and people can slate bradshaw all they want but he was a finisher and helped make space for moore to get his goals....

    If we had recruited properly we would not be missing him
    Anyway he wanted out.
    It's clubs fault for not planning in advance
    We needed two strikers in ahead of considering letting Bradders go.
    Shocking business!

    What is criminal is that he was allowed to go when we needed another forward anyway, and then signed only one replacement who has never been fit.

    It’s been done to death as to whether we should have refused to let him go, it’s been done nearly as much as to whether Woodrow was signed injured (I’m still smelling something fishy about the official line of the club on that, strong coincidence that he gets the exact same injury in training the day after he didn’t do it in his medical).

    Either way I hope for his and our sake that he’s fit soon and hits the ground running as at the moment we have lost our way.

    Not been looking particularly good for a while.

    The fans seem to know what's wrong and how to fix it - so why don't the management/ owners?

    We need to get him on the pitch before we worry about how good he is

    Of course, we have left ourselves stupidly short of forwards and once again it's a problem of our own making.

    We're missing convincing home performances.

    We'll certainly be missing promotion if we maintain that standard.

    Bradshaw might have run about a bit. But his absence doesn't excuse tonight's team performance.

    Always thought that and never wanted to sell him. We cashed in on a lad who when Millwall withdrew their interest was happy to stay with us. If he moved on next summer so be it but I could guarantee Bradshaw would’ve still put in performances and ran his b***s off each game for us.

    His constant pressure and energy on the front line was vital to our pressing system and so far weve not found a way to replicate it, much to the detriment of the team.

    For me we’ve yet again cashed in at the expense of the team and potential long term plans for getting out of the division. Again.

    Dropped a bollock selling a striker and replacing him with a injured player, even though we were already a striker light.

    Sorry I mean we didn't sign a injured striker like widely reported, we signed him too late to debut and then by coincidence he got injured in training.

    It’s not Bradshaw we are missing, it’s someone in midfield who can get stuck in, who is hard in the tackle and that bit of creative spark from midfield. Their number 11 and number 10 ghosted past our midfield and back line with ease.

    I agree we only got a foothold after changing to three in the middle, 4_4_2 we were overrun.

    Stupid stupid decision to let Bradshaw go. I predicted on the day he went that we would miss him badly and it is proving to be the case. I know nowt much about football usually but it was bloody obvious to me. We have dropped a right bollock, again.

    I also predicted he wouldn't get much of a chance and wouldn't pull up any trees at Millwall and that looks to be about right so far as well. Can't we just mutually agree to cancel the deal and bring him back?

    And yet our performances and, on the whole, our results, have fallen off a cliff since the moment he left. Coinicide?? Oh aye.....
