Bradford v Swindon Town pre match drivel and matchday thread

[molepar]

Odd that Genesini has been nowhere near the team since a perfectly creditable display at FGR.

I was thinking the same. He showed some promise at FGR but also looked to have an error in him. That said our other LWB option has also had errors in him too so may be worth a shot.

Any idea if you can pre purchase for this one, or is it just pay on the gate?

Can’t watch today - walking up a mountain!

Hoping that Notts Co were a good team and that we can bounce back with attacking menace today. (What I mean is that I thought that Notts dealt with our attacking threat very well. At no point did I think we would capitalise on a porous defence)

For me i could count multiple times we cut them right open

The sign of a good team is how you react in your next game after a convincing defeat….

Pre match Wobbly Bob on draught apocalypse in The Turls Green.
3.4 units a go. Nice. Not sure that the doctor would approve.
Won't linger here though.
Have developed a liking for quirky craft ale pubs in recent times & The Record Cafe on the way to the ground is the bollocks.
Vinyl records for sale & plates of Spanish ham & cheese made to order.

So, consecutive fixtures involving top flight fallen giants & also Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee city status awards.
Just need Hull away in the cup to complete the set this season.

Ninth visit to Bratferd, 2 wins in the previous 8.
Booked on 17:31 train out, which might not be a good idea given the recent trend of added time goals in this fixture.

Since the forced retirement of Coach Hughesless we should be wary of a caretaker bounce.
Equally we will need to bounce back after Tuesday.
Could be a lot of bouncing going on today.

The team has played in front of some bigger livelier crowds already so shouldn't be phased by today's setting.
A fast start & an early goal would add to local unease & nobody does disgruntled better than Yorkshire folk.

Anyway, I'm off for a Montbru Garrotxa washed down with a Wylam Revenge of the Greenbutt Skunk.
Cue face plant on the steps in the away end later.

Ah'll sithee.

No time for a traditional Bradford curry then Bob?

I think if/when I schlep up there I'd definitely want to sample the local cuisine either the night before, or after the game.

Unfortunately not. Couldn't squeeze an overnight stay in on this occasion.

Bradford is definitely worth a visit though. Plenty to see.
City of Culture in a couple of years time if I'm not mistaken.

Shade starts for Uwakwe otherwise unchanged from Tuesday.

6 subs including a youth teamer is serious message sending

Indeed.

I see the youths had a great result earlier. Beating Cambridge 3-1 to qualify for the semi-finals of the Youth Alliance Cup.

Bradford can afford to not play the caretaker manager Kevin Macdonald and have 3 players injured and still fill a bench with first teamers.

[Wobbly Bob]

Good change.
Additional rampaging option included.
Loving the approach.

Can Lewis Ward play up front if needed?
