On chances created we stole that, but it was impressive how much more control we got after AK went off and our back five blunted their attack. You can't vote for him, but it's really encouraging to see Garner growing as a manager.

McGirty

Thought Williams and Jojo did well.

Same and Cooper did well too.

When Baudry came on, Cook was played completely out of game.  Not sure what Hughs was thinking tactically when Swindon changed formation.

McKirdy edges it for me.  A goal again and non stop running, offensively and defensively.

Only two substitutions today.

The enforced one worked for us - hats off to Baudry.  Williams a great 80' and wonderful to have the Williams:Payne job share back.

McKirdy is some player! We'll taken goal, forced a good save from the keeper and a superb cross to Daviso. That their keeper did well to keep out!

Also, thought Cooper played his best game for us today. Very close to giving it to him.

4 votes for iandolo- my prediction is currently true

Jo jo saved us as we wobbled under some pressure.

I thought Cooper struggled.
Better second half. Our defence were all over the place at the start of each half. Compounded by little protection from a midfield that were losing the physical battles.
Rode our luck at times but equally created chances.

Without doubt better when we went to our “old and trusted” 5 at the back.

The save from Woollcott absolutely world class.
Bradford fans after the game were quoting it as the best of the season, says a lot.

Darn it, 5 now

He was superb when he switched to left wing back.
Incredible stamina and pressed their threat on the left.

McKirdy for his excellent workrate, constant enthusiasm, direct running, trickery, 2 brilliant crosses to Davison that nearly created goals and an quality finish made to look routine. Reed again stood out in midfield, Woolacott made some good saves and special mention to Garner for the tactical change which nullified their threats and freed up Iandolo to push forward.

I gave it to McKirdy, with Iandolo a close second

Listening to Garner after the game, he said about the change being necessary as Odimayo 'had' to come off. So, I'm not sure that Garner gets as much credit. He *had* to change it and did.

He also said that he thought we need to change the formation earlier but couldn't get it across to the players during the game.

We then improved so he left it as is was. He got to eventually change it once Odi had to come. He could have gone like for like.

Odimayo was injured, but Garner could have switched Hunt to RB, Iandolo to LB and brought on Payne to play in midfield, but changed to wing backs with Baudry as the extra CB and it worked a treat, so 100% credit to Garner.

He had to take Odimayo off. He didn’t have to change to 352.

He could have easily taken Odimayo off for Payne. Put Payne in midfield, Iandolo to left back and Hunt to right back and kept 442 - which I think was what most of us were expecting.

Fair shout gents - I stand corrected. 🙏

I only saw the first half and bits of the second and for that reason I went with Jojo. Saved us on numerous occasions during the first 20 minutes when we were all over the place. McKirdy clearly was excellent as well. His goal was beautifully taken and he put a peach of a cross onto Davison's head during the spell where we calmed down and got into the game.

But Bradford could have been out of sight without Jojo so i've given it to him.

Oh bollocks. Is anyone going to add a vote to break a tie here before we move on to tomorrow's business? I hate awarding fractional MoMs.

Terminé

Merci chef !
