Is will hutchinson, hutchie formerly of this board's lad? I think he had twins in the academy at one point

Hoy turns to Moy quite easily I guess

Cartwright would be the 18th debut if he does feature this season, I know we terminated his contract but in theory Treigh Stewart would have brought the total to 19 players debuting for us this year. Nearly a full match day squad of players.

The only other season I can recall with quite as much comings and goings was 2012 when I believe we reached squad number 40, and off the top of my head we gave about 16+ debuts that year

But Bradford are seeing some success and fourth in the table and i expect then to finish third.
We are second bottom

The marketing department went big on the Pele 10 Brazil shirts. On sale if anyone wants to grab themselves a bargain.

Bit of a gulf in quality though. Most Bradford fans online seem to think Okunbor is a good player

Absolutely agree but Okunbor probably is a good player at this level

Well tye end of the transfer window was a bit of damp squib. What happened to Cust coming early?

I thought we did OK, not sure who else we could have brought in.

I'm happy to leave any of next years new signings to next year, give them a fresh start. If we signed Cust and he didn't perform (which is highly likely with our current pack) fans would start on him already.

Would be less embarrassing if the club just had a big bonny out the back of the KCom and smoked them all.
Put it down to experience.

Salford have one of the smaller squads and still in the playoffs so not surprised. I dont think he's an amazing player either but it feels like a Cartwright signing as he's worked with him before so will trust the new coaches judgement on this one

Either cust or borough played for salford yesterday

Cartwright has to get our discipline sorted, unbelievable how many cards and bans we have had (some very harsh, but still).

I do think it's a bit of a vicious cycle, we're under the pump a lot of time so players get tired and frustrated which translates into lazy arms and stupid decisions.
Doesn't excuse a lot of it but there is some mitigation there.

Well the season started out shockingly bad, seemed to pick up a bit with the news of new investment and Richie Myler coming in but has now fizzled out into a depressing mess. Nobody will seemingly come to us, no news on signings, injuries galore, endless losses and any new found optimism has dwindled away. Some serious signings are gonna have to be made with our last quota places or there will be a hard core of about 8000 there next year and no one else
