Awful game of football between two teams that looked utterly shattered on a pitch that, for the first time in a long time, looked dreadful.  Point was fair enough.  Wrap them in cotton wool for the next week, take the point, add it to the total and keep working towards automatic promotion.

3 points clear at the top.
6 points clear form 4th.
10 points clear from 8th.

Most teams in the fray have 1-2 games in hand over us.

so annoying. we've lost points today because our player of the season is playing CB when we had a CB on the bench. Broadbent was very good today when he came on- should have started.

grant is missed too much in midfield- I didnt see Plymouth but radio commentary suggested he struggled and was a massive weak link today. Bradford's ONLY chances in 1st half came from grant errors and their free kick at the end was his fault as well. now with Zeki injured as well I really do hope we try Curran (why is he in the squad if he cant get a game when we have all these injuries)  or hope zakuani is fit again

Oh and I think we can all see now why Doyle can't score in that team, we create so many chances in comparison.

Have a rest now and try and get a few of the lads over their knocks, oh and get Doyle sorted! It’s been a slog!

Good news that Broadbean played well. Get Grant back in midfield. Do we concede a lot of late goals or does it just feel like we do?

Was good to see Broadbent slot in well. We all know there is player in there. Let's hope this is a confidence builder and he is on his way back to the player we had originally. Will be incredibly pleased. Good squad player and we know there is more from him. Good old boy.

Significant that we avoided defeat today. Half decent home attendance. Hugely exciting prospect against Crewe next week. However disappointing a late equaliser may be, we’re edging towards promotion.

Broadbent wasn't 100% fit either, so you can't risk starting two unfit centre halves.  Grant has played pretty well in the previous two, it was the obvious choice to start with the two we did.  Especially as a fit Broadbent looked shot to pieces earlier in the season and is also a left footed defender.  Today's result and performance had nothing to do with the centre half pairing - Doughty ran into the back of their player to concede the free kick, but the game was doomed from the start because both sets of players were broken and so was the pitch.

Typical league 2 lumps, Bradford. Hope they're still here next season.

Considering where they are in the league that was a shitty league 2 away following  Smiley

This Christmas period has killed us, we need bodies in next week as excluding Doyle we are down to 10 available outfield players for the Crewe match.

That was shite.
Fucking DJ and Woolery would be pretty good if either learned to lay the ball off now and again.
Thank fuck that holiday period is over, some of our lot looked dead on their feet.
Unlucky with another injury too.
3 match ban for Lyden too  Crash

At least have a week off now to rest.
Had Yates down as a scorer and 1 all but both those bets wont cheer me up after that game.
Meh, at least got a purple top

Would have snapped your hand off for 4 points out of Plymouth/Bradford.

A week to get 1 or 2 in. Be glad to get out of Crewe unscathed. Down to the bare bones now.
