Match Thread FC Halifax pre-season

What makes you say that?

 

The Skysports guy saying Davies is on trial with us ("Bradford Park"), attracting interest from several clubs but may get an offer from us.

 

The goal they scored was a bit of a howler from Walker apparently.

 

TBH it was settled as soon as he signed. GA/club are just been respectful and polite to Walker. 35, 12 months left and a poor end to last season is the reason for a new number 1.

 

Baldwin isn't playing is he?

 

Walker was embarrassing for their goal, went to punch the ball into a crowd and missed. It was virtually all he had needed to do that half. His time as our No1 is well and truly up, fortunately our new signing goalkeeper looks quality.

 

I thought Powell looked really good today, if he can stay fit and contribute more it might feel like a new signing.

 

10.07

 

It doesn't look as bad as people are making out. He should do better but it's not really a howler

 

Loads ok but can't get it to play for some reason.

 

The howler walker made shouldn't have happened and McCracken made a couple decent stops they hit the crossbar once I'm sure he got a touch on it but I was at the other end of the pitch lol

 

Any highlights coming out ?

 

The starting 11 against Peterborough will be interesting, if I was a betting man I'd say McCracken will start.

 

It’s very premature to say McCracken look quality from 45 minutes in a Bradford shirt and a YouTube highlights reel from Dundee.

 

My daughter talked me into going on Saturday and it was nice to do so. The result doesn't really matter but it was nice to see a hatful of goals. Was a nice warm up for the England game later in the day.

I'll probably next go down to see up play Preston before taking in the League Cup game before the season starts. Not really big fan of friendlies but with the World Cup buzz and a great season last year it's nice to see us play rather than the chore it used to be a few years ago.

 

And an afternoon with your daughter, you'll be talking in the future when one says, do you remember us going to the Halifax game back in 2026, cherished memories you can't replace .

 

I wanted to go to Sheff Wed, but Sky have possibly screwed me over with that one. Thursday night is like the worse of the worse days to have a game. The M62 and M1 at rush hour isn't fun just so sky can show a game. Even Wednesday fans are well pissed with the move.

 

Very harsh to blame Walker for the goal conceded - he got knocked out of the way by the looks of it.
