Bradford

I was feeling very optimistic until today.

Dreadful performance, outplayed and out fought. We couldn't string two passes together.

Very disappointing....

Couldn't make it due 2 work. Sounds like we didn't turn up for a home game? How was back 5 ?? Sucker punch late winner 4 them? Well folks hope & really think we're safe with the fixtures coming up just as well. But, hey we could well turn both hgate & 💰Alford over !

Mel I counted me jam jar & will pop 6 quid in to u in Sports bar before Harrogate game. Y&BA.

Brilliant start but didn't really push on after the early goal, some of the players looked a bit jaded today, wonder if the amount of games they have played recently is
taking effect.

BPA looked much fitter towards the end when our lads were visibly tiring.  Apart from that there wasn't a lot between the two sides, and if we'd been more clinical with some of the chances it would probably have ended level which would have been fair IMO

We again can't take our chances, and the ref was shocking and  the most one-sided I have seen in a longtime.
The difference between us and them was Boyes, we need a decent striker if we are going to challenge next season.

Let no one kid no one here. The club has wasted 12 months

No better off than this time last season. Many jumped all over Thomas Clarke Yeomans Robinson Gatter Durrant Marshall Broadhead Hilliard as not good enough

What utter B******s. They were just as good as this lot and on a lot less dollar. The revolving door continues to revolve. Another season wasted. False expectation of play off, what ifs, buts, maybes. Reality is it's a mid table Conf North side and a mid table Conf North club at the minute

Disappointing indeed, but mathematical safety is assured. It'll be tough on Tuesday against Harrogate, especially with our fragile squad of walking wounded that seems to be without any depth these days. However, the Harrogate game aside, it'd be very satisfying to throw a spanner in $alford's title party next weekend. UTP.

fragile squad with loads out on loan.McGuire has been very good the last few games so we drop him again Abbott looked well off the pace today so why not drop him give him a rest we had a chance to sneak into the play offs before today after some very good away performances we always seem to at better away .

imo, re:fragile squad. With the exception of McGuire, we've not much on the bench, nor out on loan that's good enough to affect a change in a game if we're not winning it already. We do have many players on the books, but those not starting are a mixture of not good enoughs or faces don't fit. However, there are plenty of players who DO have what it takes, but we are short of any depth whatsoever. The summer can't come soon enough, and it will be very interesting to see who stays, who goes, and how things take shape under CE when he has complete control of his squad.

Think at 34 McGuire would have struggled to play 3 in a week, esp with a new baby. Had Kabbo played Reece a better ball we would have gone 2 - 1 up but it wasn't the best pass.

Mid table safety is priceless at the mo! Let's be realistic. Not long b4 Christmas we looked relegated. Yes no further forward since the ferriby play off defeat. DG close but off the field action forced him to resign. AM no experience of CN & would have taken us down so he resigned 2.

Amazing turn around by CE. We're safe. Let's never underestimate what he's achieved!! Yes poor today but we've beaten York, Southport, Kiddy & Blyth Spartans recently at home. So since Craig came in an amazing points return that should have seen us in Play off places after looking certs for the drop when Adam walked. The dropped home points (fcum, Curzon & today), plus the narrow York, Stockport defeats & 2 points missed spenny Tuesday...We could/should with a bit of luck been at least 7th. Also excellent away results at Chorley, Darlington & 5-1 at Ferriby (Salford & Blyth couldn't win there!).

So immense progress made under CE. He inherited a dreadful squad. He turned things around immediately. Good job & all. Many fans thought it was Northern Prem next season. We were abject, rudderless & down. Yes mid table safety; but we now have the right gaffer 2 take us forward - just look at the evidence since he arrived.

Fantastic post champ's, some fans need to have a reality check, 2nd from bottom when CE came in to mid table and a team that has had to be rebuilt during that period.
Yes we need additions to this sqaud but on a whole we have a good nucleus of players.
Let's now see this group play with no pressure on them, against the top two teams.
