Bradford Match Thread (1 Viewer)

Just turned this into the match thread

Can see a 1-1 draw!

My main tactical suggestion would be to employ Ruben Lameiras in a roaming role, going up to each Bradford player and repeating everything they say in a high whiny voice. Once one eventually snaps and twats him, we're quids in. Unless it's the same ref that let Jay McEveley try to remove his knees that time.

Famous Five

absolutely buzzing for tomorrow night despite the fact it's a fairly meaningless fixture for us.

Told my son Friday we wouldn't be going because I couldn't be arsed, but changed my mind after Saturday. It's mad how this game can make you feel!

You do realise that Bradford are part of the famous five which includes Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Swindon and Oldham; teams that we cannot beat for love nor money. There will be a price to pay for that win against Millwall. 0-2 to Bradford.

A draw would be excellent. 4 points from 2 games wouldn't be a bad return at all from these 2 very tough fixtures.

I'm hopeful of a point especially if we go into the game with the positive attitude we showed after the first 20mins v milwall.

must win to keep season alive.

yes i know its a pipe dream but i was dreading this game because meaningless but right now there is still slight hope lol. all i want right now is to extend season to next week, then hopefully to final home game of season

For me its a winnable game particularly at home, having said that I think all of our remaining fixtures are winnable. As we are out of the race for promotion it would be nice to finish with a bit of momentum.

Hopefully one of their players will headbutt someone early on and then we might have a chance!

Would like to think we could build on Saturdays result but I suspect the best we can hope for is a draw. Armstrong has to get a goal soon doesn't he?

At least top half finish for me, if only to arrest the slump somewhat.

Is it only 5

would like to see jones play, and rose needs gametime if he is gonna be regular next year.


but most importantly i want a win so happy for arma and murphy to start too

Be interesting to see how many fans they brin to a night game, they have over 12,000 season ticket holders and get decent gates at home. I enjoy games more when some decent away support in makes the atmosphere much better.

I think ink we will win again, no pressure anymore and players can relax to some degree.

Rose will play vs. Bradford and be a regular next season, I guarantee it,

I think Jones will be on the bench for this one, he has been out with an illness & may have lost a bit of fitness, plus Bradford are a big side, I think he will be held back & brought on if their fullbacks are looking tired in the last 25-30mins.

Is it? I still retain hope, that we can gate crash the party. Only 8 points behind with 12 to play for. Maybe just maybe getting the win was all we needed to boost the confidence. Team's above us all seem to be playing each other so lenty of points going around. Maybe we will do as we always do, and build hope then blow it. But it is far from meaningless, Gills are struggling and Millwall are hit and miss. win this and beat Donny, all of a sudden pressure is on them. Keep the faith, PUSB

Pretty much every team in League 1 unless they are down to 10 men!

I said to my dad on Saturday, The play offs are very very slim but there is still a small outside chance.

With us beating Millwall (gaining 3 points on them) and then if we beat Bradford thats another 3 points gained on a play off rival. Potentially with a win tomorrow we could be 5 points behind 6th with 9 points still left to play for....

I still think we need to win the remaining 4 games though

Bradford are keeping things tight at the back and getting plenty of crosses into the box for Proctor and co, win the midfield, win the match.

Need Phillips and Ricketts to play well.

Its certainly winnable and Armstrong is long overdue.

Id play Rose, need his legs and energy in the middle, and bring Jones on off the bench to have the same level of impact when we dominated them earlier in the season, Murphy come on with pace and caused havoc with his pace.

2.1 win and with a swing of results, it could well be a late surge.

Not sure what would be worse, going on a winning run and just missing out or keep being rubbish for the rest of the season.

Think we will win again.

74point tends to do it apart from 1 season when Chesterfield got 69 (this season 6th WONT need 74points IMO

Win the last remaining 4 games puts us on 72point. This could potentially go down to the last day of the season, as per usual with Cov!

I don't think for a minute that we will do it but if we did we would be the form side :claping hands:

good to see some positivism at last!! We may well fall short or even go belly up again. But we need to keep believing, at least get the season finished off in the right way.

Gutted missing only my 2nd home game this season.Business meeting .Will have my phone on checking as we go on.PUSB

I expect Armstrong to come alive in this game and we will decimate them 2-1. Post-game, at least one person will ask if we can still make the play-offs.

Can't help but smile.

We win one game, playing a team down to 10 men and suddenly we're talking about winning 5 matches in a row again. Ha, ha, ha!!

I think a draw tonight will be excellent.

Sorry guys, don't get the optimism
Other team has it all to play for, we don't (we might have a mathematical possibility of playoffs, but it would take a bizarre sequence of results)

We only beat Millwall because they went down to 10 men, form before that was dire

0-3 Bradford

I hope Mowbray begins to experiment for next season: would start giving players like George Thomas a look in now (and possibly Ben Stevenson off the bench).

Although I think we'll lose tonight, I don't think next year will be gloomy at all though

Would love to see the Bulgar get some game time too.

And for SIX teams above us to fail. Think if the teams above us all had no games left and their seasons ended right now, it would still be a really hard task for us.

Guessing none of the outfield players that played in yesterday u21 game will be involved tonight.

Personally want to see the Bulgarian guy, G Thomas, Stevenson, maybe Kelly Evans twins in the 18 man match day squad for the final
3 games.

playoffs are mathematically still possible so we should fight till the end

but even if they aint this team has been losing for 3 months, its important we try to finish on a high note.

playing 10 men was possibly what we needed to end the rut. now we need to beat a good team 11 vs 11 just for our own confidence. its the next step

Lameries to come on from the bench and knock Hansen out cold with a left hook.
