    Never a red card. Rogers dragged our man to floor. Deserved yellow. Osadebe squared up to them but nothing more than mutual shirt grabbing. Yellow at best.

    officials so incompetent.

    good win lads, well done

    Both should have gone. Their lad not only fouled our lad twice, but also put hands on him

    They are utter dog dirt. Even their starting xi was poor at VP IMO

    Our reserves dominated a team in our league tonight. Good performance and a great result from the young lads. MOTM for me was Taylor. Looking forward to Saturday now

    Plenty to like from that performance, including the scuffle, shows good team work
    Reminded me a little off the Crawley scrap, which led to a upturn in form

    After his leg break, although wrong, I am not surprised he reacted like that

    Absolutely, I think most people from Grimsby should be strangled

    What the heck was their centre back doing.??

    Only one team in it.

    Their worst 8 against our worst 8, night and day we were better.

    Smith …..Not for me.

    11 shots, 6 on goal. Trying to be positive. Can't ask for much more.

    Looking at the FA rules it seems that the red card suspension will only apply to EFL Trophy games so he will miss the next 3 which after winning tonight should be Man City, Barnsley and the 1st knock out round match.

    No, 1-2 FT. I know it's pedantic but the difference was worth a lot of money to me. Well done Mr McDonald and well done Bradford City. I avoided checking the score till it was over and yours was the first post I saw.

    Thank you!

    No, Mr McDonald. I know it’s pedantic. ;)

    And yes, should have read 1-2 FT.

    It was a bit pants, but we won, whatever.

    I liked our high press.

    He’s not pulling up trees but really do hope he can find some confidence and form as I feel there’s a player in him for us.

    I like his movement. He’s constantly on the shoulder and if we spot the pass I genuinely think he can create chances. However his final decisions right now are lacking and almost showing signs of desperation.

    Not desperation , rather lacking confidence and trying too hard?
