Well, that was all very pleasant from us, but lucky not to be 3 or 4 goals down in a Gillingham style effort.
We have probably had three openings, had some decent possession at times, some good forward movement without really looking dominant.
On the other side, they have looked like slicing us open several times and missed a fair few chances. Our entire team is "nice".
Khan and Kadji are always, always, 10 yards or so away from anyone when getting back, marking space. The amount of times Bradford win the second ball after a defender heads it away, or the forward has a runner to lay it off to is shocking. Williams is AWOL in defence, busy in attack. He needs two solid midfielders behind him with good engines, great defensive instincts and at least one of them able to control possession. Not sure either offer that.
Still it is 0-0 and maybe one of the chances they are letting us have goes in.
We are miles off their overall standard though (the game is about more than looking nice) and a betting man would have money on Bradford right now.

The fact this half is being viewed positively shows how shit we have been
Only difference between that and Mansfield is that Mansfield took their chances

Probably one of our better halves of football this season, which speaks volumes

We are playing with 1.5 defenders is the main issue -Clayton has been OK, some good recovery stuff on the ground. However, he has headed a couple of clearances 10 yards back into the middle, asking for Bradford to pick it up. FBT is a proper defender though. Brewitt is a trier but he's been pushed aside like a wind breaker and Hutton is mostly switched off when defending. Not a defender in sight in the midfield.

Yep, we’ve pretty much been pummelled into L2 relegation fodder mentality. |

Kadji is the opposite of the Flash super hero character. Everything around him happens faster than his world and the pitch is made of treacle.

I assume we are a looking at him with a view to next season, which if the case would suggest we will be in massive trouble. |

Kadji and Brewitt are dogshit. Assume kadji is playing as it knocks money off the loan fee. The fact Brewitt starts above minturn doesn’t say much for Harrison

It's fine, someone will chuck him the pen to sign the contract and it will be past him before his hand has moved. Sorry, he's not a lack of effort type(from what I can see) and has a nice enough touch, but he really is playing the game in slow motion. Khan is well ahead of him, and he's not been brilliant this season - he has been OK to good at time, poor at others. |

He was a youth player for Bradford. |
