    I think he had taken a step to his right thinking o donnell was missing it and all his weight was transferred on to his right side. Everyone try it at home. Even if something is thrown straight at you it’s hard to do much if you’re leaning to the right so sometimes coverage can be misleading

    Tried it, fell over, waiting for an ambulance- you’ll be hearing from a solicitor shortly.

    The red card was extremely harsh after seeing the confrontation on the sky link.

    Just seen this,100% Donaldsons goal.
    The slow motion from 15 seconds confirms it for me. I would think the EFL will award the goal to him after a review.

    Looks like it's kicked onto Donaldson. I don't have my glasses on so can't be 100%.

    Interesting comment below that video on twitter suggesting it was given as an own goal because of the influence betting companies now have on the game.

    As much as I could begrudgingly believe that, I would really hope such a suggestion was way off the mark

    Looking at that i don't even think a defender touched it at all, the cross from Ismail went straight to Donaldson and he side footed it in through the defenders legs with his left foot.
    Get yer glasses on. :laughing:

    I'm not sure really because the dubious goals panel will award donaldson the goal now anyway

    It's not all just about the performance... that was the first time in two and a half years we've come from behind to win a game. Two and a half years. I'll happily just take a show of bottle and go from there

    The majority of bets taken these days are first goal or correct score, not awarding donaldson a goal would have saved pennies. There will have been zero interest outside of bradford and northampton on the game, and how many city fans do you reckon will have lumped on the don to score anytime at odds on

    Credit to Donaldson, fit as a fiddle for his age and was quicker than their younger defenders yesterday. Thought he was going to be used more as a target man with his age but looks to have enough pace and energy left to cause defenders issues in behind them in this league.

    credit to connor wood yesterday, fantastic example of how to defend 1 vs 2 and why you can't always go straight for the man with the ball.

    I believe Vaughan is a little theactrical at times twice yesterday he was on the deck trying to make out he'd been fould, but I dont think as a team we are any worse than others.

    I don’t know if it’s my bias but Donaldson got knocked about all over and got nothing and yet we only had to touch them for a foul to be given

    There are bigger fish to fry than Clayton Donaldson scoring against Northampton.

    Show me a string of strikers being denied goals initially and there may be something in it.

    This one goal in this one game makes no sense - but I'm not sure who made that call, as the entire stadium and announcer declared the goal for Don, so unless the referee was adamant he didn't touch it, who made the call?

    I enjoyed that second half. Watched it on ifollow at the Nerja villa I’m staying in. Had halftime/fulltime on us at 30/1. Will pay for a few glasses of Rioja!
    I thought our defence (minus the set piece blip) were great. Everton and Paudi excellent.
    Shame Ismail got sent off. I can see him having a real impact.
