    Yeah the referee made a signal and clearly saw a incident. Bloody riff raff in the main stand, not like us better types in the upper Kop!!!!!!

    Asuming I saw correctly!

    Same in the Midland.

    A lot of people weren't clapping, and to be fair, the players seemed to accept it because they weren't trying to gee anyone up.

    What were you expecting second half? Us to go for a high pressing game or all out attack and leave the defence exposed and lose the game 3-1?

    It was clear we would have to go for break away attacks.

    Give over before the sending off there was only one team going to win that. With Donaldson battling the centre halves we were on the front foot from the start.
    you were in a different Kop to me they got a rousing reception which continued and could still be heard as we were walking away from the ground

    Are you sure you're not talking about AFTER the game?

    Because that's not what me and @bantamdave41@bantamdave41 are talking about...

    Complete bollocks.

    Many were standing and applauding for the effort put in.

    Interesting isn’t Colchester where we got a “poor point” in some people’s eyes give Swindon a good beating tonight and I wonder what Plymouth are thinking after being held by Crawley..

    Well it's clear that Bowyer for some, cannot do anything right. That's OK.

    But we've seen tonight that he hasn't "lost the dressing room" and it appears that difficult player decisions taken have galvanised the remainers.

    Fans? Those l work with are not happy but generally behind him. This "noisy" Bowyer out forum still shows 35+% not wanting him out, probably due to the lack of alternatives promising better results with this squad.

    Long way to go yet.

    How is Swindon losing at Colchester a good point to make?

    Swindon have had their strike force disrupted, and their results are up and down.

    We've just given away our first choice strike force because our manager had a paddy.

    If you're drawing conclusions from them, you can expect us to get a few 'good beatings' ourselves...

    Nah. If anything Cheltenham looked more of a threat when we had Devitt on as there was more space to attack. When we went full on defensive mode they had no idea what to do. As for the atmosphere, there was an appreciation of what City tried to do in defending the one goal lead. There was a lot more effort than the Mansfield game but then that should be a standard requirent. The fact the fans were cheering a player pressing shows how little we've had to cheer lately.

    Hopefully the replacements for Doyle and Vaughan will give the team the lift it desperately needs.

    I had a good view from Block A in the Midland Road. I didn't think it was a dive from McCartan.

    Answer the bloody question

    Shocked by you.. happy with backs to the wall stuff for 45 mins because we were down to ten men.

    The only reason we didn't lose the game was because in the final 3rd they were poor.

    Anyway you be happy with relegation form and 4 points from 15. Yeah we will go up with that form.

    Out of the 2 team they go away happy knowing that they have 2 games over us.


    Damn!

    I think someone posted footage on one of the Bradford City FB pages.
    Put it this way, if we had VAR, Shay would have got a yellow instead of a penalty. I was quite embarrassed watching it.

    I was expecting the atmosphere to be toxic but I thought it was brilliant given the circumstances, I never heard any grumbling around me in the kop just none stop encouragement for what was a hard fought performance, just what the DR ordered !!!
    show more fighting spirit like that and we might be ok this season..
