It’s gone from me thinking about what fancy dress costume I can wear on the last day when we are already promoted to not wanting to even go now thanks lads.

Perhaps all the supporters can wear black, as we will be in mourning!! Perhaps a couple of inflatable coffins as well.

Perhaps he wants a trip to Alton Towers next weekend instead of going to Crewe for a dead rubber!!

Just to add, if we’d have matained that points ratio since mid January we would have amassed 104 points by now and been promoted 10 games ago!

…and we’d have been planning our assault on Div 1. Championship here we come! (It was a good dream while it lasted).

It isn’t a dead rubber though is it ? We might win and Bradford might draw or lose. However difficult it might be we have to give the team our support. Even if we win and don’t go up the result might give us some confidence for the play offs.

The only positive about Connor Barrett’s red card is that it may force Sadler to change his formation and his bench.
With a 532, you need high energy wingbacks and the squad depth to change the wide men. Ironically, Adomah was brought in during the summer for precisely this role. However the success of Connor Barrett and his link up play with Jellis forced Sadler into shoe horning Uncs more centrally.
Connor’s last suspension forced Sadler to try Asiimwe and again, he has proven to be an able deputy.
Liam Gordon looked ‘leggy’ again yesterday and so I would try Lakin and Asiimwe as ‘full backs’ against Crewe. Didn’t Lakin play there against Blues and he popped up with a goal, I think.
The positive of the suspension for Connor is that it also opens the door for RAM. Personally, I’d have DJ in the squad over Donervan and even Osh. I know they play different positions but how many centre halves do you need in the squad/on the pitch at one time?

Me neither, but I just read that Sadler has praised McEntee for his ‘performance’ yesterday. Unbelievable Jeff! It means that the bloke is a cert for Crewe. FFS.

McEntee did put in a superb cross which was headed just wide by Hall ( I think). And has done that a few times recently. I wouldn’t play him in midfield myself but he isnt as bad as some make out.

He won’t change 5 at the back. It’s that kind of naive management that’s got us into the position " where we want to be ". He needs to change but won’t and it’s been his downfall, will cost us promotion and it’ll cost him his job too
He is very good at crossing the ball actually. If he wasn’t so cumbersome and a little bit clumsy, he would probably make a good wing back.

I don’t get these “Adomah can play as a right wing back” comments. Wing backs are primarily defenders who can get forward and have some ability to also play the role of a traditional winger.
Adomah is not a defender. He’s also not a striker and certainly doesn’t play as part of a pairing up front as was obvious yesterday with Jamma pretty much isolated in attack.
Adomah is more effective coming on for the final 30 or so minutes with more of a free reign to link midfield to attack.

That’s ridiculous mate!
That’s like saying we’ll build a team around a tall, young, athletic, strong, confident, skilful, goalscoring number 9 and then play EXACTLY THE SAME WAY with two strikers with a combined age of well over 70!!!
That’s not like us.
I agree @SuperGabor but I’m pretty sure that Sadler brought Adomah in as a RWB.
@el_nombre will confirm, because I know that he was a big fan of the idea! 
Mat is creative..he’d never do that mate

He played as RWB in the Championship as recently as last season.

The thought did cross my mind, ill give him more credit than that even though i think hes a knob.
He’s gone back to McEntee in midfield 3 or 4 times this season - despite it not working.
Absolutely clueless.
