Bit of a non event that

Honourable mention for Kirkman who didn't look out of place.

Either full back

Factoring in - it’s his first game at level thought Kirkman was adequate enough.

This formation suited Delaney. His positioning was good and he dealt with Cook (who couldn't exploit his lack of pace) very well.

Barden. Doesn't inspire me
Kirkman did well for a first league match
Cain helped Kirkman defensively, but offered nothing going forward.
McGregor focussed on defending and wasn't very good going forward
Sobowale was an 8 for 89 mins of the game and 4 for the rest. Two bad mistakes. One cost us
Kilkenny flattered to deceive. Buzzed around butdidn't create owt
Drinan ran around again
Glatzel didn't offer a lot today
Smith tried, but couldn't link with anyone
Brown ran around and got into some good positions, but couldn't do anything with the ball

Subs:
Tshimanga always seems to 'nearly' do something. He 'nearly' touched the ball today
Longelo had 1 or 2 runs down the wing but nothing else
Wright coming on I didn't understand

Delaney was a rock.  Kirkman also impressed.

Delaney. Completely his type of game. Kept Cook quiet all game.

Actually I don't recall ever seeing cook play well against us

Was thinking the same re Cook, shite everytime i’ve seen him play Swin.

Agreed, a 1 trick pony(donkey) who relies on thuggery and bullying.

The pattern of our games against Bradford is that we tend to nullify Cook and then lose because he isn't the only threat they have and he's the only one we thought of.

https://townenders.com/match_record_opponent.php?person_code=cook_andrew_ellis_1990 here's the stats - not scored against us in 8 appearances.

Delaney already quadrupled his season tally of votes here, and taken himself to double Grant Hall's tally.

Those two are in danger of becoming the defensive Thorpe and Cureton, aren't they?
