Match Thread Bradford

Quoted from Chrisblor

Best hope for another Eisa screamer cos it really doesn't look like we're going to create anything inside the area again...

Wrong!!

Wrong!!

Bore off, we had 1 effort on target from inside the area in 90 minutes which thankfully we scored from. The point that we don't create enough good scoring chances still stands and it's clearly an issue because we've controlled that game and still only come away with a point because outside of a relatively tame long distance effort from Gnahoua in the second half their keeper's had nothing to do. Holohan and Clifton just don't create anything from midfield and Eisa's had an off day.

What’s to knock about it? Bradford come out with impetuous 2nd half like any half decent team would and we literally just parked 10 men behind the ball. If we do win 1-0 it looks like a great decision from Hurst, but we didn’t and lost another 2 points from a winning position. Great guy and got us up but would prefer not to lose than rather go for a win, the most frustrating thing knowing what we have got at our disposal.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Good point or 9 points lost from winning positions. All about opinions isn’t it?

Still early days. That certainly need improving but I think we have seen signs it has. 2-0 vs Gillingham, restricting Bradford to one shot on target. To me they are signs we are improving in that regard.

Based on that performance alone, I think Town are in for a decent season. We could do with more penetration and creativity but I think that will come.

You do realise that when other teams go 1 down they are doing everything they can to score don’t you?

They looked there for the taking .

A very poor side ,Hughes setup is more simple than Hurst's with a larger budget .

We should be beating teams like that .

But it's still a reasonable start , 4 or more points from the next 3 games and it makes it a good start for me .

1.4 PPG would probably have us in and around the play-offs if we can maintain that .

I still think the second 10 games will shape our season , especially at home with all winnable game (on paper at least)

13 or 14 points would give us a great platform to kick on , but we need to start converting these draws into wins after this difficult first 10 .

Makes new account just to post negativity and calls anybody else negative.  

Just to post negativity? In a football world where everything is stat based we have now dropped 9 points from winning positions. How many times are you happy for that to happen before you realise what is stirring everybody else in the face? Typical hurst tactics cost us another 2 points.

No, a snap shot, their only shot on target in the 88th minute cost us 2 points.

Well that tells me you’re absolutely clueless when it comes to football.

Forget the second half for a moment.......we completely dominated the first.....but only really created one opportunity.....that is already becoming a pattern and is the main problem in not securing points.

Of course Bradford were going to come out fired up, of course they are going to make changes...the fact we rode out their momentum was commendable but once we had....whilst relatively comfortable we offered very little ourselves again....and ultimately paid the price for only having a single goal lead.

Whilst we look at individuals sometimes.... this is a team/ squad issue. Danny Rose is fcked after 70 mins but we have no one to relieve him, therefore our limited attack drops down a further scale.
