    It would be +6. Do you have a problem with that?

    A pragmatic one. A funny one. A post with something to say. Not from you of course.

    No problem with anyone who accepts the bare bones of a result, good or bad, but then doesn't go on to crow or gripe or make a point about a result afterwards. Please don't make me post evidence of your hypocrisy in this regard.

    The result is however never the full story. I think that my posts have something to say in that they're never biased before being written, as many others are. I take each game on its merits and I challenge you to prove otherwise.

    Fun. You can point me to the last post of yours that was bursting with fun. I must have missed it unless it was a post telling us that e.g. Watters is a footballing genius. I'm not full of fun at the moment. Fun is not really top of the agenda when you've lost 5-1. And optimism is hard to find. Especially when you may have forked out to go to a match and you expect a decent performance from your team. Bradford isn't far but I doubt that all 600 were rolling about laughing each time we conceded.

    The pragmatic decision would be to stop supporting BFC to the same extent as I do. But pragmatism does not come into it.

    When all's said and done, we do share the same outcome. Which is not anti-BFC. We all want us to be our best.

    Spot on. Been saying it for ages, The pressing game that served us so well ladt seen has gone out of the window, the defence was sold on in the summer and Collins does not seem to be able to organise to motivate his players.

    Port Vale was a average performance imo just everything went in. Wigan we was against 10 men for the majority of the game. I'll give you the other 2.

    At this point last season we'd lost more games, scored less and won less games.

    We also had a more settled and competent back line, we had our first choice keeper fit and available and we had Connell fit as a fiddle as well as Phillips in his scoring form.

    Despite raking in over 10 million in transfer fees and reinvesting next to nothing back into the team, despite injuries to key players and bad refereeing decisions, we are 6th and still in the FA CUP and the JPT (or whatever its called now)

    I think he deserves a bit longer.

    Awful performance in a dead rubber game.

    Just seen an interview in the Yorkshire post where Collins rightly says it was a young team but then says with 2 or 3 senior players in it, didn't we start with Killip, McCarthy, O'Keefe, Connell, Cosgrove, that's 5 senior players right there.
    I actually thought we played a bit better when he brought more young un's on at the end to help his case for deflection.

    I'd class Dodgson as a senior player as well.
