What a good post Dave.
There have been several occasions this season when I have been almost ashamed of the actions of fellow fans, such as the use of explicit and abusive language in the family stand with many young children close by (not to mention a completely useless steward), I would not use some of the words in adult company, and then there was a vitriolic attack on Ian Morris in the Plymouth home game (I personally think we have missed his steadiness, but this "fan" clearly wouldn't agree. Strangely I haven't seen this particularly smug chap at Plainmoor since, maybe the pies weren't to his liking).
On both these occasions I spoke out against what I felt was unacceptable behaviour. As far as I am concerned, you pay your money, and you can abide by the rules of common decency. No one deserves the abuse our players sometimes receive for underperforming. I'm suprised that Manse, who wears his heart on his sleeve hasn't cracked more often.
Anyway, to the game. Good side Bradford. Mobile. Played to their strengths and exposed our weaknesses. We went out with a wimper. Cruise has been a positive since he deposed Nico, but for Gillingham next up I would suggest Oastler has lost his form and should be dropped as well. Not that I think Leadbitter offers much more, but he deserves the chance at least.
Chappell for poor old Billy B, persist with Jarvis,he has "quality" despite the lack of pace. Yeoman for Benyon perhaps? Anything to shake things up.
