Re: V Bradford todays game thread
Just got back as well.
Both stanley bookings where daft. All the team played well, nobody was outstanding. We lacked pace going forward and a few counter attack opportunitys where soon ended by the lack of players to exploit pace. Overall a decent point - but one point I must make, league 2 is no where near as hard to win this year compared to the previous year. Bradford are nothing special. |
Re: V Bradford todays game thread
Been to todays game, decent point and almost nicked it at the end, how we need a striker though(preferably Gornell)! Mullin so isolated, but nevertheless good point.
Must disagree wih one point of previous post saying no outstanding players, Kenny Arthur for me was fantastic today, not only his 3 superb saves in first half injury time (incidently in the 5th minute when 4th official signalled 2 mins, bloody ref!), but also his command of his box, compare with that joker Bradford had and makes you realise how lucky we are to have him! |

Thought today was a committed gritty and determined performance. Every one dug deep for the point and never gave up on a win. Special mentions for Kenny (brilliant stops), Phil Edwards (superb composure and dribbles out of defence), Jay Bell, Andy Procter , Jimmy Ryan and Mullers (never a booking).
That's not to say we did not play some very good football. We looked the technically better side at times. What superb saves by Kenny and that fantastic tackle late on as the Bradford player was about to pull the trigger for the winner. And Jimmy Ryan sped across the pitch to make that interception and nearly turned it into an attack. Bonus was to meet and shake hands with Eric on the way in. Thinking back to when Haggis and Co used to play my then local team Skelmersdale United at White Moss Park to play and compete on equal terms at a recent ex Premiership Stadium with a fraction of the resources. He John Jimmy and the others who have contributed to where we are now should feel immensely proud. Everyone should to pull together to make sure we stay there. As a Wednesday fan it was nice Paul Heckinbotham's four year old daughter was one of the mascots (and that some of our fans at least clapped them off) and a surprise that other Stanley fans had taken such an interest in Graham Lee's career to date. Got to say he was a pretty immaculate player when they were in League One. Paul McLaren was another ex Owl. Left my car at Menston and came in by train. On the way back Bradford fans (must have left well before end) were complaining that they were "second best to everything". |

Re: V Bradford todays game thread
"Two wonderful saves".
Jimmy Ryan "good quality on the ball". We "were better side after they equalised". Miles a "good footballer" gave them "problems playing off Paul Mullin". McCall post match BBC interview: BBC SPORT | Football | McCall disappointed with Bantams performance |
Re: V Bradford todays game thread
Booking of P Mullin viewed by Bradford blog
"The booking for the lad "diving" was potentially the worst decision I've ever seen. Someone really should tell refs, that people go down when they're tackled. " |

Report:
Conlon to rescue as City struggle again (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus) Like this bit: "McCall looked fit to burst on the sideline, remonstrating with the fourth official. Then he recovered his sense of humour to fetch a pair of gloves from the dugout which he waved in the direction of the Accrington defence! " |
Re: V Bradford todays game thread
Vital Bradford on Paul Mullin booking etc:
"After the game I heard people saying it was a dreadful dive but from where we were we thought it was quite a let off and couldn't believe we'd got away with it again." I voted for Luke O' Brien as their man of the match. |
