'If I am in the stand watching my team - the one I love and wait all week to watch - and I see 11 players who cannot pass the ball three yards, what am I going to do? I am going to get upset.'Poyet is in the job 15 months at this stage and despite having staved off relegation in his first few months in charge, the former Chelsea man is now struggling to inspire performances from his side.

'You cannot imagine how much I am having to change. Before I came here, I was recognised for playing a certain style of football. Are we playing that football? No. Do I want to lose that recognition?

We’re not, and that’s because I am adapting because we can’t.It's just a little bit sad to see Poyet having to change his whole belief just to try and make better players of the likes of Wes Brown and Seb Larrsson. Bradford have been warned what t expect tomorrow. H/T to The Mirror
