| Quote bringbackjimmy="bringbackjimmy"Interesting, just listened to Mark Dunning speaking to Mick Gledhill on Soundcloud just after the Barrow debacle
Seems he's "spewing" about the performance. I don't reckon there'll be much in the way of "arms around each other" this week. It might just be that he's had enough after that 2nd half performance.
I really don't know how he can stay in the position after his outburst. The players are clearly not prepared to perform by the book for him, and he seems to be at the point of acceptance that something will need to change. Since he can't change the whole team, that only leaves a falling on the sword scenario for Mr. Dunning IMHO'"
This is the issue I highlighted when Dunning got the job he can be as upset as he wants but he doesn't have the reputation or experience to enforce this.

Thank you.
Mark Dunning does sound as he described i.e. genuinely furious.

| At least he's dispensed with the platitudes and we're hearing a bit of passion, as opposed to the usual vanilla responses. All seems rather untenable now though.

| I’d agree. Almost like a parting shot to the players who have consistently underperformed costing him his job.

| Too little to late for Dunning. Should have tried this authority after the York game. At least the fans would have seen a bit of passion and anger. No good now. Goodbye.

| So much for the change in culture. Not sure Nigels business model of relying on loans is the answer. Expect Dunning is just a pawn in game of life.

I agree with the first part. I don’t mind the odd loan to cover a deficit in the squad or if a miles better player comes in. But not 5 loans every week.
Dunning might be a pawn. But it’s also down to him for team selection. Tactics. Preparation for the game. Alterations during the game. Game plans etc. And on that account, he’s failed.

That was just club spin, he was part of the previous coaching setup ffs!!

| With little chance of promotion on the field and the IMG changes, it is any surprise we went for the cheap option? Not saying I agree but the game is in limbo at the moment.
I travelled up to Barrow. Arm wrestle of a first half and completely gave up in the second. Hot day which sapped our energy especially after the idiot Roberts got sin binned for kicking a ball away after a great kick had pinned Barrow deep. We conceded down his wing while he was off and pretty much every other try came down that side. He shouldn’t turn out in a Bradford shirt again.
That being said, why Dunning didn’t act to stop them walking unopposed down that side I’ve no idea. A loan player and an academy lad with zero connection to each other and it showed.
Felt like a game where players and coaching staff threw in the towel and let Barrow do what they wanted.
York, Keighley, Fax and now Barrow. The manner of those defeats is what stands out the most.

Thanks. It (rightly) sounds like he's a bit miffed off.
But it didn't fill me with any confidence that he had any insight or idea about what to do about it, other than watching the video!
