Re: Bradford City Pre-Match And match Day Thread
Have a listen to Cooky's video on the website. The reason the lads went long ball was because they were struggling to get a foot hold in the game.
And the real piece of quality gave us the goal - so its pretty obvious the team know what to do to get results. But having said that teams are never going to just let us play the game that we want to play. Only the very best teams - Barca and Spain - can really impose themselves on a game in that way.
I think a point against this Bradford team is good. I reckon they'll be competitive in every fixture this season.
The next few fixtures are very important though to see where we'll be when the league settles into more of a representative pattern. I think we are capable of winning at D&R and should beat Aldershot at home. So if we can take a point at Chesterfield we'll soon know where we are at....
I think Cooky talks a lot of sense and it is a minor miracle that a side with as little experience as this one is able to compete with a team full of seasoned football league pros. I mean, whenever you look at the sides who make the playoffs, they always have a large proportion of players who have been there and done it for years - we don't. So its a testament to Paul and Leam that we are competitive and actually doing pretty damn well.
Keep the faith, it'll take time before we can pass all-comers off the park. But with Cooky in charge it might happen.
