What are we doing wrong?

Another defeat last night for Bradford City to another of football's giants - Morecambe.

Who would have thought that we would be losing to Accrington Stanley and Morecambe within a couple of weeks of each other? We clearly have no divine right to win, but we do seem to be a team that other teams are determined to be beat, because of our relatively recent Premier League status. Those of us who have watched City slide from the Premier League will know how dreadful we are really and how we deserve to be where we are.

A 2-1 defeat to a last minute goal. Lost 5 in a row and 6 out of 7. 4th bottom and two of our three victories are against the second and third bottom teams. That probably says it all and we currently do deserve to be where we are. Every team we have played for the last few seasons seems to be fitter, faster, better tactically and totally committed. We remain tentative, inept, devoid of ideas and in the case of a number of players, lacking in any commitment. Every opposing keeper seems to be at his best, making dazzling saves whilst our keeper remains dodgy.

I still believe we will get out of this and climb the table. Stuart will not tolerate this for long and will somehow instill his own pride and work ethic into the squad.

This really is football in the bargain basement and a true test of being a football supporter. Just thankful that I have not been able to get to the away games at Morecambe, MK Dons and Hereford as I would be even more depressed. It really hurts, all this losing. I keep telling myself that Stuart will sort it out soon. I know he will but it is taking a bit longer than hoped for and last season's depressing run continues, without much sign of improvement.

A home game against high flying Darlo next Saturday. Who knows what can happen? A week is a long time in football! They say that luck evens itself out over a season. We need a sackful of luck urgently. A couple of dodgy penalties, a dodgy visiting keeper and a hatful of own goals plus a couple of sending offs for the opposition would help. Keep the Faith!
