Bradford City selling their club captain Niall Canavan to Barrow for an undisclosed fee is not making me laugh as much as it would have done 20 years ago.

Is the turnaround of the recruitment team one of the greatest turnarounds in history? They've got a hell of a lot right in recent years. They got it spot on in the summer and also in this window. last January they got thomas, holmes, Grant and Keogh who did his job. If they'd signed adebayo as well that also would have been a very good window too Fair play to bromby as the budget he gets to work with is buttons at this level View at the time from most of us (myself included) was not terribly complimentary at the time either. This is the 2nd window running that I've felt pleased with the outcome immediately afterwards, but it's actually our 3rd good one in a row. Bromby has taken a lot of flak & much of it unwarranted. Our disastrous windows were when he was still in charge of the academy (the fruits of his labours there are beginning to show & they look pretty darn good). A few people have earned the right to have us eating humble pie, but few - if any - more so than Mr Bromby. <doffs cap> |

Bradford City are a total irrelevance. A side that has had Chris Waddle, Stan Collymore, Benito Carbone, Ashley Ward, Gunnar Halle, Robbie Blake, Dean Windass, Mark Schwarzer & others on the payroll in most of our lifetimes. Now the only player in their squad that I could name without looking them up is Matty Daly. |

Can’t remember how many transfer windows PH said it would take to turn the squad around but the changes and today have been good to see. It’s good to see some of those who downed tools to sit back and count their cash playing for or being linked with a League 1 club. Whatever has happened to PH and all the infighting behind the scenes he said he would do he has, obviously kicked recruitment into shape giving them direction etc Whatever people think of him this has IMO a lot to do with him as well. |

Well Luke Plange won't be playing Wednesday. Palace have just signed him. Obviously the administrators need the money to keep the club going for the extra month. He's gone back to Derby on loan Beg of season for almost a whole game I thought they were calling him flange now can’t get that out of my head when see him! 🤣😂😂 |

A few people have earned the right to have us eating humble pie, but few - if any - more so than Mr Bromby. <doffs cap> Actually, I think I might be revising history a bit here. A keeper that was warming the bench in the division below, A centre half that Luton were disappointed but not massively upset to lose. A centre half who few of us rated from those lot who dropped out of the division. A teenager from Chelsea that few of us had heard of. A couple of fullbacks from the division below. A striker who had done nowt for 6 years (although TBF I still maintain that I was right there). I think Odubeko was the closest thing to an exciting signing in the summer. 3rd good window in a row, but probably only the first I've been pleased with in the immediate aftermath since... erm.... summer 2018. |

Eiting played 23 games for us in his loan spell. He’s a good signing but the excitement seems a bit overboard when he’s only signed for the last 4 months of the season and was never truly outstanding.
Still, Monkou only played 21 for us and some still see him like Man Utd fans see Steve Bruce.
Meanwhile, Hogg has held us together for 259 games and half the folk on here have spent years saying he doesn’t suit our style of play.
Madness.

Well when you look at what happened that year, when both Hogg and Eiting got injured we fell from about 12th to 20th and just survived. When you watch us play this year, we lack a player that can pick a pass to link play up. Eiting was very good at playing first time passes that got us away on the counter attack and gave space to Koroma etc We seem to be better defensively this year in the 343 system, but lack the passing midfielder to play alongside O’Brien. Why I’m excited is I think Eiting will transition play faster and more accurately which will give Koroma, Sinani and Thomas room to work their magic. Edit: further to Eiting getting injured so did Koroma, so we lost one of our major dangers that year. |

I agree with that and even if he doesnt start, he is the kind of player we need to bring on when we have a lead. Can slow it down and pick a pass to relieve the pressure instead of panic stations hoof ball as we drop further back to defend the lead. |

Meanwhile, Hogg has held us together for 259 games and half the folk on here have spent years saying he doesn’t suit our style of play. Madness. I disagree. He was SOMETIMES truly outstanding. And that was in a poor side. Admittedly, when he wasn't outstanding he was often fairly anonymous. For me, a lot of the excitement is that he addresses a couple of weaknesses that we've managed to gloss over. He gives us options to play a significantly different way - and play it well. Up to now we've mostly been 3-4-3 or variations on it. Now, we'll be a bit harder for opponents to predict as we can play a few ways. And if it's not working, we can put somebody genuinely different on the pitch as we have options to switch things about a bit more. The guy is technically superb & can create chances either from deep or higher up the pitch as he spots passes that others don't. What's more, the additions of these 3 players are also a statement of intent. I would have been happy for us to keep our powder dry & build slowly - particularly with the youth prospects looking so impressive - but these all being just until the end of the season gives us (at least with JB & CE) a chance to have a proper look at them & if they're good enough, maybe give us a nice problem to have for the following season whether to extend their contracts (admittedly they may have other offers by then). Honestly, it's a statement of intent that we're looking to give it a proper go this season. I think the excitement is justified. |

When Eiting is on it, he is a class above at Championship level, he’s half a yard ahead of everyone else on the pitch. He was able to link play, read the game and drop a shoulder or unweight his opponent and move away from danger better than anyone we’ve had in recent memory (bar Mooy). I saw enough in those 23 games to be excited about his addition. |

When I think back to the games this season where we've lost points due to goals in the last 1/4 of a game, these have usually come about from us dropping deeper and deeper, unable to relieve the pressure. Lewis might run 20 yards with the ball in midfield, but then has no options etc, or we'll knock it forward for Ward/Rhodes etc to chase and then the next  beings, and we drop back again. We've lacked a midfielder capable of putting their foot on the ball and picking the best option. I suspect if we'd had fit Eiting available we'd not have dropped 16 points from winning positions. |
