    Good win and performance. This needs to be the benchmark now, with no return to the tepid shite we've seen so far this season.

    Just one free kick….. That’s it? That’s stretching a bit Tallin. How many goals did any outfield player score direct from one last season?

    Banks, can’t think of another? You?

    You said he’d listened to a section of fans. Which fans are we referring to .?

    It's a demented take to try and get the credit as an armchair tactician lmao
    Surprising from a Parky side.

    He usually achieves a good balance.

    Wonder if he's being pressured to sign players based on name value rather than quality.

    Highly selective in what way??
    You said how can I justify full marks for 4 players and I laid out my reasons, it's up to you to diss my view on those if you wish.
    I'll go deeper into it if you want.
    Walker was a constant threat, closing down and breaking into the box and playing some lovely passes. Oduor was a constant threat on the right and linked up well with Halliday who did his job defensively and got forward well. Ridehalgh also got forward and linked up with the excellent Tulloch and provided the superb cross aka assist for Cook's 3rd.
    Platt did ok but I marked him down for ball watching for County's goal and Gilliead was just Gilly, faces more towards his own goal than the oppositions! However I will give him credit for providing the legs that a player like McDonald needs at the side of him.
    Oggy gave away a free kick with his first involvement and failed to find a pass to a teammate the short time he was on.
    Hope that's a more in depth analysis to my "marks" and meets with your approval.
    As for you not needing help, I'm not too sure on that! :unsure::p

    Why do people keep saying it was a 4-4-2? Do they even watch football? It was a 4-2-3-1 which anyone with a brain could see

    To some:

    Winning football = 442
    Losing football = everything else

    Bit late to the party as been on the lash at York races all day, but what a result that is! Great to see us getting at them early. Delighted for Cooky - should shut up a few trolls. Well done Hughes / City. :)

    It doesn’t matter what the formation is it’s about intent. It’s about getting forward winning individual battles and playing positively. Rather than sitting back and letting the opposition dominate you. Messing about in your own box is totally negative football

    That’s me educated on how a player giving away a free kick and missed a pass to a team mate in the time he was on, should be judged. It’s Bradford City , not Man City we support.
