Whilst we can yak on about an improvement in performance, which it was, Pressley was getting slated about it being a results business and over the course of the past 7 days we've picked up 1 point out of 9 which isn't going to be good enough to keep us in this league.

Although results are the bottom line, the performances were dreadful as well. It wasn't like we were playing well and failing to pick up the results despite what Pressley would have you believe.

Mowbray is trying to pick up the pieces of the Pressley regime, my only worry is he hasn't got enough time to turn it around. Its gonna take time to train away the bad habits and negativity that Pressley instilled in the team and with little time on the training ground to do it. I think we will have to dip into the loan market again tbh so hopefully there is room in the budge to do so, Pressley should have gone in December and gave Mowabray January to recruit.

Good to hear Mowbray being honest in his post match interview even if he will probably get an early warning about being critical towards the ref.

Makes me wonder if he's going to look for a keeper as although he didn't want to be overly critical of Burge he did highlight the way tonight's goal was conceded again!!

Be interesting to see if he finds a keeper with a bit of experience which Pressley stated wasn't out there.

I thought he's watched a different game to me. Yes, 3 good chances and the goal, but 1 shot on target, a very scrappy first half devoid of quality, bradford had decent chances too, we were lucky not to be 1-0 after 3 mins.

They looked a far better unit than us after the break. I thought we looked impotent into the second half, I can't remember us having a corner?

What is wrong with Turgott? JOB goes off injured and instead of replacing like for like, throws the german on and shunts out our most potent striker out wide. In fact after scoring 4 in 6 playing through the middle , mowbray has played more wide.

We'd have all taken the point before kick off, but a bit like the sheffield game, after leading we should have seen that game out. I do fear for our survival.

We were dodgy first 10 but after that we were comfortably the better team first half, just as we were for the first 30 minutes for Port Vale fixture. Then we done our usual second half tick where we were awful and Bradford had us pinned back for long periods.

I wouldn't say we were comfortably the better team in that period, more that we had the better moments. The ball ping longed around the midfield for large periods, neither side could control or take a touch.

I'd also add that's our strongest side, and they rest 3-4 players. Looked a different team when clarke and yeates came on.

Well I think we were, the quality may not have been great but we were well on top after the first 10 minutes. Bradford couldn't have really had much complaint if they had gone in 2 or 3 down at HT.

They did rest players but not sure how relevant that is, you can only play against the 11 players that are on the pitch. How often can you say this season that we couldn't field our strongest side? probably a lot, should it be an excuse for poor performances? No.

Considering we were missing our most influential player when he's played in Reda Johnson it wasn't our strongest side, strongest available yes, strongest side no.

All you people being happy with a point at home? I think we'll be looking back at games like this after we are relegated and be saying "if only we had won that Bradford game".

I went. Said I never would until regime change but had a relapse.

Appointing Mowbray got a few fans blessed with the naive optimism of youth excited. They will learn.

However as Bradford are on a high I though they would take all 3 points, so a draw didnt seem to bad. Missed the save at the end which saved us a point !
