Bradford Thread

Pretty much same as Smudgie in running out of superlatives to describe the team performances.

Hard to pick a MoM as they all played well once the first went in we settled and played our passing game with some raking passes from one side of the pitch to the other with some great interchanges of speed, movement & passing.

A special mention for Luke Joyce a well deserved and peach of a goal, the second was not bad either.

As a man great performances, hope the injury to Craney is just a knock?

Credit to the Bantams for giving it a go paticulary in the second half.

We were a little further to the left of the Clayton End and noticed what goes into the Community Trust activities for the kids and all credit to them it is building fantastically well and is something that I am sure will keep expanding and bringing in the next generation of fans.:alright:

Well done Matt & his Team keep up the Good Work:)
 
As a part time visitor from another club I have been absolutely delighted seeing Stanley's recent form but was especially pleased that you have now reached 5th place with only 4 point separating you from automatic promotion.
I can only wish you all the best for the remaining games. It's a fantastic run you're on and I am very much hoping that you can secure promotion. Good luck Accy

Nice One:)

Please keep spreading the word

One of the most pleasing aspects of all of this is people who are neutrals or a soft spot for a local team Accy in general the team are now getting the plaudits for what in a sense is as good as you will see on it's day at any other ground in the country and I don't say that through red tinted specs but through observations by other fans and my own observations of other teams.
 
I am still scratching my head how a team like Bradford,which had pace,size and experience,were just brushed aside with such ease.
Accis play in patches looked like champions league not league 2, and i am beginning to think they just have no fear or nerves.
Cant single anyone out as they all did there jobs and more ( although Proccy was excellent).
The spat between Deano and Jimmy, shows the desire and determination which Coleman loves,both born winners,you wouldnt think they were 3-0 up lol
 
'The drummer arguing with some chap'
While we need to promote the youngsters as our future life blood, there appears to be a group of ‘feral’ under 10s who have difficulty in following the game and draw pleasure from annoying those around them even to the extent of throwing sweets at Pigdley, Bradford’s goalkeeper. A lady spoke at length to one of them, much to his displeasure. I don’t know what he had actually done, but the drummer came down to intervene which brought about a difference of opinion between her partner and himself. There appears to be no one directly responsible of these children who sadly display resentment to any suggestion of curtailing their antics. Yes, I am a grumpy old man.
 
Good point well made mate.

Whilst we need to encourage the next generation of stanley fans, there has to be some sort of control as every game seems to bring more and more poor behaviour from that small group directly behind the goals.
 
by my reckoning we can just pinch 3rd place wi a point at shrewsbury,on goal difference, if we get the win i think were home n dry.:alright:

I don't think your grumpy at all! The Under 12's should only be the price it is when bought with an adult ticket otherwise we have these problems.

Saw some Bradford kids being turned away by the Police and told to go home (not sure if Accy or Yorkshire Police).

As for the game, first half magnificent, second took the foot off the gas and still made it look easy. Thought the ref was one of the best we have ever had at Stanley. Fair play to the man, he didn't flash the yellow card around like confetti, in fact I think he only showed once to a Bradford player. A few stern talking toos, including Deano and Jimmy, but other than that, no dramas at all. Stunning save made by Australias number one GK. Commands confidence in the team. Lets hope we can keep him at the end of the season (especially if we gain promotion).
Taming of the Shrews next. Just hope Barnet don't travel next Saturday especially with the Grazioli feeling. Who's thinking the two to go down could well be Stockport and Northampton Town?
 
From what ive seen of Stockport they are an appaling side, but look at yesterday they went and beat Vale away.

Id take a draw at Shrewsbury and im very confident of 3 points next Saturday :)
 
man of the match for me : sean hessey!
always driving the team on and was a presence at the back! got a good feeling against shrews!

...and another piece of good news - we're not bottom of the attendance league anymore. We're beating Macclesfield...by one! (1826 to 1825). :D
