    Bradford Millwall Today

    It was never a belief. I always thought it was too good to be true. Just nice to get through a season without playing any of the games in Northampton, getting relegated, sacking the manager or having a points deduction / transfer embargo. Must be 2009 since we had a similar season, and we've at...

    Bradford Millwall Today

    Mate i think you've got too much time on your hands. It's perfectly possible for us to beat other teams in the division; if other results go our way, we'll be there. The previous years' point totals don't tell us anything - we just have to finish above all but 5 others. Yes a fast improvement is...

    All that analysis is predicated on this 71 points - forget about that. We just need to finish in the top 6. As it stands, it's perfectly doable, if not in our own hands at present. We're just as likely to beat ColU as Bradford are to beat Blackpool, so that latter fixutres doesn't darken the...

    Give TM a chance

    Clueless one are those who want success now now now, and think that replacing the manager will achieve that. Guess what ... short term fixes, applied on average every 12 months or so, have not led to long term success. We need to write off three years and give the manager (might as well be TM...

    Will Mowbray stay ?

    Really like the bloke and overall the general direction of travel is good. We might have to write off a couple of seasons, but it'll be worth it if he gets an entire squad of his own choosing and develops the youth setup according to his plans. The club needs to be rebuilt from the ground up...

    You over think this mate. We'll have a game in hand, home v ColU. If we lose that I might have to agree with you. Right now we're in the mix. In 2010 we were in this position in the table and everyone was well excited. Forget your arbitrary 71 points, we just need to finish above 18 other...

    bye bye promotion

    Exactly. Although our run in looks a lot tougher now, the season is very far from over. Even if we don't go up, so what? This season has been progress. With every new manager, my opinion would be to give them 3 years - basically write off the first three seasons, then judge them how they get...

    Does Anderson meddle with the team

    Exactly. I saw an analysis that showed an exact correlation between the stock market in the 1960s and the popularity of Doris Day album sales. Causation? Err, no. That said, bot TM and CA have said that CA uses his statistical analysis, e.g. % of shots from outside the box that are on target...

    Tudgay or bust!!

    Well it may be a bit of smoke and mirrors by TM, to keep his cards close to his chest. He knows we need to beat ColU and is probably trying to make their preparation as difficult as possible (on the basis that other teams have "worked us out"). I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those...

    Get rid before next season starts

    Martin and Lamerias are contracted for next season.

    Mowbrey

    Agree with the OP, except this season isn't dead. We've got ColU next then a decent chance of the playoffs where it's anyone's game.

    Season over now attendances will fall

    I know we're on a bad run but look where we were this time 12 months ago, fighting for our lives. In the longer term view, this season is progress whatever happens now.

    Official January transfer window for CCFC

    TM has said that whatever happens next season, we'll be having 5-6 loannees again. He said it's not ideal but that's just the way football is at the moment. Ideally we'd have 1-2 quality ones, with the rest being our own squad, but that's where we are.

    Jordan Willis back in training

    Unless he's made amazing progress, he should never play full-back again. Glad he's been given another chance next season, but for me he'd have to pull up some trees next year to get a longer contract. I'm not in the JW fan club. That said, with the impending release of Connor Thomas, JW will be...

    Joe Cole agrees deal with Tampa Bay Rowdies

    Fair play to him, can't complain about him during his time with us. It's not be like Sherwood, Flwoers, Kilbane, Hendry et al, he has come in and tried to do a job for us. Good attitude from a solid pro, even though he hasn't set the world on fire.

    Would you recall JOB?

    To add to the chorus - would have preferred if he hadn't left, but he was unsettled and unhappy at not starting every game. He never left for football reasons, so on football grounds of course I'd have him back. But it sounds like it suits him, and TM, for him to be at Scunny. If we need him...

    Ryan Haynes

    I think he deserves another chance - we'll see whether TM rates him this week as if he doesn't get recalled, and TM tries to get another bloody loannee, i think we all know what that means for TM's opinion of RH.
