Bradford Home - 1st Leg Saturday 9th May

[wakey]

Decent performance and result, sets Thursday up nicely.

Bonham's not filling me with confidence last few games, but thought back four to a man were excellent.

[London Wanderer]

Great second half. Unlucky not to get a second. Need to get at them again Thursday

Also, thought McAtee was excellent when he came on, exactly what we needed, chasing everything, putting pressure on the defenders.

He did but lacks quality 

[Zulu]

I thought that Sarcevic made a massive impact. 
Fat cunt. 
😜

[Tonge moor green jacket]

A win is the main thing.

Obviously, we would have liked a more comfortable one, but I doubt many of us thought that that was likely.

Clean sheet- maybe EE coming in did have an effect...

Anyway, for anyone travelling, M6 has been shut southbound from j30/31.

Roads may be very busy in the area.

[TroySwoosh]

I've always said this club will end up giving me a heart attack.

I've now narrowed it down to the exact player who'll cause it.

Jack fucking Bonham!

Clean sheet tho 👍

[L/H White]

Can't believe Bradford are in the playoffs 

Shite

Johnston gets a lot of shit, he was great tonight and clearly really fired up for it. The right attitude for the next two games.

 

[waffer cup 07]

Apart from added time we were far better than Bradford, deserved another goal.

Totally agree; all the back 4 did well after a couple of Tutu early mistakes and he froze once second half.

Yes I don’t rate him especially when it’s a back 4 but a warrior tonight plays better in a back 3 with two lumps at the side off him 

[noxid]

Got up at 0400 am in Sapporo, Japan to watch the match but it took 15 mins to sort out the WiFi signal and missed the first 15 mins and the extent of Kenny's injury?

Zero shot on target for Bradford we had one and hit the post when you brake it down .

Can't believe I'm saying this, ok, GJ had a really good game tonight, far less of a liability at LB, MOM for me !!

[Arrested development]

Would of taken any lead. Thought we were better than them. We didn't test the keeper enough but a bit of amario magic got the job done. 

Gonna be a tough game Thursday but at least we go there 1 up. 

[L/H White]

Dalby has to start, sure he will 

Burstow offered nothing 

[FrancisFogarty]

Decent performance tonight. Sissoko worked his bollocks off and they finished up doubling up on him after the booking. McAtee too when he came on.

[1969]

Just back and without a doubt we were the better side.Fully deserved the win

Crowd was excellent and backed the team

Every player put a shift in but it's only half time so same again Thursday 

[Zulu]

I thought our weakness was our keeper. Not convincing at all. 
Fortunately the defenders in front of him had a storming game.

A post width from Wembley. Two might have been enough and it not going in changed the whole dynamic of that last 25 mins.

Two down in 3 mins and they'd have been ship steadying mode for a while after. They were emboldened to come for us late on

Badly missed Kenny’s pace and harassing. With him we'd have buried them.

Forino's the best defender in the league on form this calendar year

4th Division promoton expert Sarcevic is one of their "stars" which says it all.Simply working harder  and getting the ball in the mixer might be enough to beat Bolton in the second leg though

I gave someone dog's abuse when he went down injured because I thought it was Sarcevic. Turns out it was Jackson. 

You live and learn. 

Dominated them for 90 minutes. If Bradford play like that on Wednesday, they're knackered. But I can't see them being this poor twice. 

Also - their fans seemed quiet seen as they had the whole upper tier and had been drinking all day. Very strange. 

[RUREADY2ROLL]

Thought Sheehan was absolutely brilliant tonight

That’s the fear and we have fallen for it several times this season obviously got better players than them

Absolutely. Particularly with another game on Thursday.
