    I can't see it Rochdale looked a decent side yesterday they would hope to be in the mix come May, as you say his record at Rochdald isn't bad 8 goals from 32 apperances.

    I think we all know that it was 15,809 seats sold, but that they were not all occupied. The ground was not two thirds full. However some of the very low estimates made on here would also seem to be well out. I would guess around 13,500-14,000 actually in the stadium.

    Yep I'm afraid this is bang on. Apart from winning a number of headers yesterday and a decent shot straight at the keeper in the first half, he was bang average again. He is very slow to react when receiving the ball and trying to bring players into the play - often loses possession, misses the obvious quick ball, or just doesn't control it. Another great heading chance missed in the first half. Thank god for the penalty to get him on the score sheet. Vernam had obviously been instructed to try to play off him / as another striker to help out which I thought worked well in the first half. We do desperately need another option up there to score consistently.

    A good summary.

    I've already mentioned previously but the obvious cutback for Cooke at the end, perfectly summises what you write.
    Still brings a smile thinking how exasperated Cooke was, trotting back up to the half way line.

    You seem gullible to fake news

    I’m not a happy clapper mate. Yesterday was nothing special to get me excited, it was an expected home win against Rochdale

    I don’t need you to believe anything about me.My bank manager can back anything up. Suppose my assets can also.

    Anyway, hope you have your expensive fuel in your car and ready to wrap up warm this winter. I mean Boris Johnson cares about the north ha

    I’ve never ever known a person to get so many things wrong Rhodes loving, Bowyer wanting him to stay, Boris Johnson. Plus unable to see what’s happening in front of your noise at a failure of a football club lol

    So, please look at yourself first before others.

    Regarding Cook, I agree we need someone to challenge him. Nobody’s position should ever be guaranteed in football, all it does is lead to complacency.

    I’d have liked Jamie Proctor here, doing well at Port Vale, scored a peach of a goal yesterday as well.

    The only consolation is that the standard of finishing in general at this level is simply atrocious. We witnessed it at both ends yesterday and have also witnessed it from other sides this year to date. That's what makes me chortle when posters on here question Adam's consistent focus on chances. You need multiple at this level - it's just common sense.

    Imagine us with a quality striker upfront like a Nahki or similar. It's an area of the field where we have no quality at all.

    It was our first win after 5 games I'd expect every Bradford City fan to be happy leaving Valley Parade with the 3 points, more so yourself as you claim to be Loyal.

    Just believe Boris Johnson..

    Oh look. Tax rises as well https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58779160

    Cares about the North. How can one man be mugged off so many times. Ask yourself that question.

    Don’t believe me. I don’t care.

    Mentioned Tahvon Campbell a couple of weeks ago, he got 2 more for Woking at Notts County yesterday and 8 in 8 now.
    At 24 year's old just the right age, hope are new scouts keeping tabs

    By this stage the likes of Peterborough are sniffing around.

    He's down as a winger, but 8 out of 8 does it matter.

    Like most strikers in this league though, Procter apparently missed 2 sitters before scoring
