Re: Bradford 1st round carabao cup.

An entertaining game. Thought Bradford were very poor throughout the game including substitutions. Very poor around the box, seemed to rely totally on set-pieces. We were poor in the final third and Lowe out-muscled in every challenge. Not sure what he brings to our attack. I thought he may do better in League two but on tonight's showing he's playing a league or two above where he should be playing. Kode, did OK playing behind Lowe with his link-up play and was one of our better players in the first half. We were much better following the substitutions of Leigh, Andrews and Nolan. O'Brien? I think our sub at left back, did Ok in a very physical game and only got muscled off the ball once. His passing was safe and he took the easy option but it was OK for a first League Two level game. The Penalties, well its always a Lottery.....and least said the better. Glad Leigh and Whalley were there to console the misses....I can't imagine how tough it must be taking and then missing a penalty in that situation. My heart goes out to them.

Finally great atmosphere created by the Bradford City fans......the only time they were quiet was when we scored the equaliser....
