To me the problem is the club just seem to muddle through, we've been at this level for 3 seasons now and I was expecting better this time, last season was dire but this has been worse. The club continually make the same mistakes season after season, constantly trot out the line about budgets, at the minute the club are just treading water and if we continue like this it's only a matter of time before we succumb to relegation. I would prefer to see the club in the Championship, make no mistake about it but its become a right chore going to games of late, the club seem to show no ambition, no urgency to make any signings in the window, aside from Edgar who is a waste of space, no urgency on the pitch either if Saturday is anything to go by. I'm not expecting promotion to the Premiership but that has to be the ultimate aim, we are no nearer getting promoted in real terms than we have ever been despite being only one league away. The club need to get a grip to stop fans drifting away.
Another thing that gets my back up is the lack of cup success, in either cup. Bradford reached the League Cup final a few years ago and are playing Reading for a shot at Wembley, what do we ever get? Nowt, thats what. Furthest I've ever seen Town go in the League Cup is round 4 and I've been going 30 years, the FA Cup is only slightly better we've had a few round 5's but nothing after that. These kind of things grab fans imagination, at the minute there is absolutely nowt to grab the imagination down at Town.
