Swindon Town v Bradford City - Official Matchday Thread

[chalkies_shorts]

I really enjoyed it particularly given I thought it would be abject surrender. Beeks MOM for me. Doughty and Goddard were both good at bringing the ball from midfield to attack. Branco also was excellent today. Beeks makes such a difference. He gave the ball away cheaply a bit today but is so strong but should have scored when he shanked it over the bar. Bradford were a decent side and I'd have their no 4 in our midfield. They should have had 3 in the first half. I couldn't believe the miss before we scored when they ripped us one down our right and their guy only had Vigs to beat and shanked it yards wide.
The most pleasing aspect for me was the number of Bradford players biting the dirt. We were quite aggressive in a very controlled way with only Doughty getting booked.
Its amazing when you put the effort in and get in their faces.

Tom Smith put a cracking tackle in on James Hanson in the corner, probably the biggest outfield player on the pitch, which I particularly enjoyed.

Anyone catch the disability match between Swindon and Bradford at half time?

One of the Swindon lads scored and I've never seen such a joyous reaction. They seemed to enjoy their lap of honour, I thought that was a lovely touch by both clubs.

Yes.  I thought they were great.  Such joy on their faces at the end!

Very limited highlights here.
Disappointed they didn't show Rodgers celebration.

Enjoyable game today, with dare I say it, two decent sides.

We look to have a strong spine to the team now with Vigs, Branco (very good today, back four seems to suit him better than playing in a three), Doughty and Super Jon.

Llandolo also got booked for a shirt pull.

That was brilliant and loved the lad who scored and his dancing, still putting a smile on my face now, what a legend. Highlight of my week, by a distance!

And the Bradford lad who was doing high 5s with Town fans in the DR at the end - lovely to see.

I enjoyed that today.

We rode our luck a bit but also fluffed a few good chances ourselves.

Rodgers isn't my favourite but he did well today even without the top drawer free kick.

Frustrated in the second half that our left wing continued to be a soft target.

Loved the way we dug...lifted the TE who sung a bit.

Three points, is three points....and three closer to the glorious 51..

That's one way to get the press on your side I s'pose.

Well done Bradford on the 3 points, seems a tad shifty to me though.

Where's Reg?

I don't think I've ever known anyone to be more consistently wrong in all of my life.

[normy]

I thought that Rodgers was terrible and a passenger, apart from the free kick goal.

[blinkpip]

We seem to play better against teams with target men, Charlton with Novak and Bradford with Hanson. When teams field 3 front pacey attacks, we struggle to adapt.
