Just got home. Thought we played really well and just got let down by the one poor defensive play all day.

Nobody to pick out positively or negatively tbh, just a solid display.

Great atmosphere. Our fans did us proud during the tributes and, fair play, that was acknowledged by the Bradford fans.

Only 10 hours until our train to the Edinburgh derby 😴 

Come on you Jam Tarts 🤔

Cissoko superb today, really pleased for him, ran himself into the ground.
ACD not at the races by his own standard, but on another scores 3.
Sheehan & Rodrigues all over the pitch again.
Fantastic goal and good all round play from Kenny. At this level, he might just have it all, pace, aggression, strength, awareness and the ability to score. Bang in form right now and I fear Celtic will want £3m+ for him.

They won't get 3m for him off us or anyone else

They wanted 1m last summer 

He's then not fancied by them in the SPL and he's having a good spell in L1

Still don't see how he's worth more than 1m other than having signed a new contract. 

In any case I hope we get him regardless of what division we're in

Just another game where the best team ended up with a draw

To be fair, so did the worst team.

He’ll probably be back to his old frustrating self next week.

Kenny and Cissokho were superb yesterday. That was a really good match yesterday and despite it being a draw I think it showed that when it does count we will be the slightly better team. Great goal as well.

A lot of praise for both of them and rightly so. 
 

Kenny has slowly but surely been getting better and better and it’s becoming more apparent every week why he’s at the club he’s at. Also why they had the valuation they had on him at the beginning of the season. 
 

I think yesterday was the performance the club have been waiting for from Cissoko and why he was brought in. A pity it’s taken 8 months to get it out of him but think it’s now that time of the season that suits him. Suns out, Lovely temp, great surfaces etc.. 

the most important thing for him and us now is that he replicates that level again over the remaining games. It can’t be a flash in the pan. He’s shown everyone what he’s actually capable of and him creating a bit of magic could be the difference in getting to Wembley and potential promotion or not.

Loved how JK was having no shit of Tilt, great assist by MB to.

If Cissokho could produce his best more than a handful of games a season and not have complete brain farts he would have Doku’s shirt at City

I enjoyed seeing us score a goal by going long yesterday

[Eddie]

That shot that Kenny had 10 mins before his goal, outside of the boot into the top right corner (facing the goal) - presuming the keeper has made an unreal save given it was a corner (I think).

How he managed to get any shot off was impressive - looked like it would have been another goal of the season contender without the save (caveat being all perception is shit behind the goal).

Toal looked so much better when we went long. A better than average Defender but awful footballer the same GJ when he plays central. Thought Forino was immense as was Rodrigues in his defensive part of his play. We Have major problems at the back that needs addressing in the summer but that is for after the season ends.

Whether we go up or not the whole back line needs ripping up at starting again. 
 

2 legitimate full backs to replace / support Conway and Tutu and 2 dependable CBs with some been there and done it experience. GJ definitely out the door. Wouldn’t be desperate to ship Toal out but he’d be decent support along with Temple. 
 

Quesiton marks over Bonham but he’ll still have 12 months left and going nowhere so wouldn’t be adverse to Harrington. He’s a very promising keeper by all accounts who was far too good for L2 before his injury. Common sense would say he’s good enough for L1 in particular then..

Did you celebrate when Bolton scored ? 🙂

I've been in a home end & hated having to keep quiet when we scored & pretend to smile when they scored. Now, i'd rather give it a miss !!

I was in the home end, corner to the far left as away fans look. 

Fantastic goal celebrations, wish I was part of it properly. Loud all game, top effort. 

Cissoko unplayable, where has that come from? Sloppy goal to concede, but Bradford said the same about ours... where were their defence?!

City centre afterwards was pretty smart, I thought. Even if the road up to the ground looked like an Istanbul derby pre-match!

Few post-game beers with a Bradford pal, they really don't want to play us again. We have nothing to worry about if we play them in the semis. Apart from the dogshit trains...

Meant to quote this in previous post !!!!!!!!

Clearly levels between them but  Anelka is the nearest match for me. Pace, power, movement in behind and thundercunt finishes into corners of the goal. 

Yes, good shout, as you say at different levels, but Anelka was also deceptively fast & strong. I can't remember if Anelka had it, but Kenny ( like McGinlay )also has a "nasty" streak & must be a pain to try & mark.

I'm not for writing off players I couldn't pick out of a line-up, but I'd definitely question these accounts on Harrington if he couldn't get in Fleetwood's team and can't get in ours. Bonham is a solid back-up and nothing more.

Fully aligned to all that and it certainly crossed my mind as to where this guy has been all season. Think the goal against Hudd would have been a huge part. 

Also as we go into the mini league/knock out it doesn’t matter where he’s been just that he’s arrived now. 

Fair play to Fergal/schuey on Kenny too. I’d imagine it would have been easy to plump for Hardie with him being a former Schuey man and a fan fave at the time. It bodes well that they know what they are doing behind the scenes.

Did it at Birmingham once though it was a boring 0-0 draw so got away with it 

If we get Stevenage in the play offs and i don't get a ticket, I'll be doing it again though there'll be plenty room where i can sit away from their fans

Kenny is really good, and makes things happen, but him and Anelka  dont belong in the same sentence!

It was hard work trying to keep neutral, although I think I endeared myself to the locals by openly laughing at Sheehan's banana shots rather than the groan I wanted to let out. Not his best game for us.

There is not a chance I'll be doing it if it's a crucial play-off semi at Valley Parade though, some of those home supporters looked a *lot* harder than me 😆

Cracking view of the game to be fair:

Kenny took no shit yesterday and even less shit the other night when they had one sent off after Kenny drew the foul.

He can look after himself can JK. Looks a right handy lad.

[Wanderlust]

Loved Cissoko’s performance albeit demolishing a poor right back who kept jumping in and getting mugged time and time again but opposition teams can’t double up on both him and ACD so it gives us another threat. Kenny again showed us exactly what he can do, but the best bit for me was Rodrigues showing a new side to his game. All in all, with Dalby back we have evolved new facets to our team game that makes us far less predictable than we were pre Xmas. We just need it to click in the playoffs.
