    No wonder we feel so happy at the moment...

    A quirk of the fixture list means that by Christmas we will have played all of the other seven in the current top eight at home, but none of them away. We will have played Walsall and Fleetwood, currently 9th and 10th away. Now after Christmas we may win away at the likes of Scunthorpe and...

    I think today was his ninth game in the League and has been a winner seven times. He also played at Oxford in the Caribou Cup. I agree with the comment above that his positional sense is a bit wonky, about as bad as that of Haynes

    Both goals come from poor clearances to set pieces.

    Mark Robins Manager Statistics

    Player boredom was only one factor - can't remember the others.But the time frame does fit with other high pressure jobs. New person comes in -> does the things they see need doing -> runs out of ideas (gets too fixed on their original analysis of the problem)

    Mark Robins Manager Statistics

    According to some research I read (but cannot remember where) typically managers are effective for up to 3 years and thereafter players lose incentive. Some notable exceptions to that. But even so if you look at someone like Mourinho or Hodgson it makes sense. So we have had 15 months so we are...

    Bradford rating

    I think he ran 3/4 of the pitch - he starts off back near the penalty area then loops round. He deserved his luck. Even so a jink to the right and he'd have had a open goal.

    Five wins on then trot seems inconceivable, even though every game individually has been winnable. Predictions of 3 points from this and Accrington Stanley means a predicted loss but there should be no excuse for ,losing at home, we should at least get a draw. I hope for four points, winning...

    Bradford rating

    As has been pointed out these are high marks - numerically our second best permanence after Barnsley at home. When you tot up the scores above nobody gets a bad mark, but the "dud of the week" for the record is shared between Doyle & Thomas, but they both had good ratings. MotM: JCH with an...

    Cov 3 Cardff 2. Two goals for the magical Gibbo on his return to the team. We got to 3-0, then two John Toshack goals pegged us back. We had lost to Crystal P\lace in the previous home game so needed to get back on track
