I too thought twice about forking out for a Bradford ticket after yesterday's inept performance, but my love for our club overcame my angry quivering stiff upper lip, so I'll be there next week cheering our boys on!
Some valid points from both sides of the argument and perhaps now is the time for calm reflection.
I am always surprised by the oppositions ability to use the ball more effectively when they play Stanley at home and there is no doubt we have been lucky in recent home games, particularly against Blackpool.
I think yesterday was the culmination of all the recent frustration we have felt regarding team selection & substitutions when things are not going to plan. Hence the criticism of the management.
