As a snapshot and a tv spectacle I sort of took a freeze frame pause and thought - how much better things are; being involved in that game and nearly winning compared to a lot of the last few years when we’ve had to go to non league sheds and scratch around for points. The club is in such a better place and I’m really thankful for that. We could/should have won maybe but a good point on paper and some good stuff played in really testing conditions. Must have been so demanding to put in that amount of energy, especially off the ball, in that heat. Proud of all the players and fans today. Top effort.
UTM. Onwards….

First half we were allowed to play like Barcelona

Second half we were like  Grimsby Borough. Not being disrespectful but pretty near the mark

We have the makings of a good squad but stilll some fine tuning

From my front row front seat at home...
I loved the first half  but waited for changes that would / could /should have made the 2nd half like the 1st half .
To be fair to both sides the heat was a serious factor .Phew . Great to hear town fans clear and proud on the telly I had the front room all to myself funnily enough.

Fair play to the players playing in that, the walk to the train station killed me off.

We should’ve won but it felt like we gave Bradford a way back in the game by stopping the press immediately in the second half, I get it’s hot but if you start well in that first 10 mins I guarantee we don’t lose that game. The crowd got on side and they dominated as a result.

Really frustrating but it’s another game without a loss in an incredibly tough opening run of games.

Massive crowd though. Gotta be a factor. For a minute I watched that game today and thought - this could be a Championship game in front of 20,000. Now, I know it isn’t. But it’s good to be playing Bradford City on Sky rather than Braintree or Maidenhead, when nobody cares. Sure, there’s lots to improve upon but it felt like we mattered again.

Watched bits and bobs as im up in Grimsby visiting very elderly family. We looked to he in total domination from what I saw 1st half. 2nd half they took control, a shame we conceded so late but it's a good point away from home.

Gutted to leave with a point but convinced we are better than them.

Fully expect us to be top 7. We were really good first half.

Quoted from GollyGTFC
Brilliant first half.

Terrible second half.

Yet Hurst didn’t attempt to alter the match. The 2 subs were more to do with avoiding 2nd yellow cards than for a tactical reason.

I thought Holohan was generally terrible. Poor decision making, dawdling on the ball. Finding a solution in central midfield along side Conteh could be the key to us having a very, very good season.

9 points dropped from winning positions this season. And we’re 5 points from top. It’s starting to frustrate me how we can’t manage matches and see them out.


Sorry Golly but you are so wide of the mark re Holohan. He's given that midfield some bite and played pretty well. Harry Clifton however has not offered much at all this season bar the goal at NC, yes he runs his nads off and is black n white to the core but doesn't cut through defences, doesn't put searching balls into the box and still struggles to pass an accurate ball more than 5 yards..
Kick me as hard as you like but with Conteh and Holohan in the midfield Clifton becomes a passenger. It would be interesting to see if Ainley could offer more creativity in there and give Clifton a break..

In addition to me thinking we are class.

I was sad to hear the sectarian nonsense at half time. flipping the pope and the the IRA couldn't be further from our radar.  And the Tommy Robinson chants, you absolute whoppers.

Silly teenagers and adults that should know better.  You show us up, be better.

Harry needs to be making runs into the box a lot more than he has been doing this season, and at 6ft 1 it would be good to see  Andrews doing that as an alternative.
