Pre season friendlies

Loads mate but I don't see how that's relevant to a team with better attackers than defenders attacking like buggery so they dont have to defend. if I'd have started going on a massive anal rant about pritchards work rate only being 10 out of 20 or something you might have a point. I also played to a reasonable standard although my dad and his dad before me played professionally before they got injured

 

Out of interest, where does a RB fall in your list of priorities? Because a RB would be ahead of another central defender for me.

 

If we got another decent CB, AOC would be good at RB

 

I'd agree, we have to have an out and out right back. Paul Caddis showed what a class right back brings to the party. Without it we have no balance, as i mentioned before i hate this term 'utility player'. A utiliy player is a back up squad player who makes one in when your regular starter is injured. Its like Levi Sutton, what does he actually do well? Once we find out can we let him stick to that position. Same with Harry Pritchard, he isn't a left winger, he's cover as a last resort.
Problem i see is we have 4 centre backs and i don't really rate any of them.

 

Aren't we playing Huddersfield tonight?

 

I would have AOC as defensive midfielder and bring in a decent CB.

 

Next Wednesday

 

Ointment away day,

 

I've got him pencilled in at RB too!

 

Looks like we might be able to see Huddersfield friendly on their YouTube page as they seem to suggest all their friendlies are going to be on YouTube https://www.htafc.com/news/2020/august/watch-southport-vs-town-on-youtube/

 

Huddersfield match now at their training ground and a 6pm kick off. Club say there'll be no streaming of the match https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2020/august/city-set-for-terriers-friendly/

 

A couple of extra angles from the Doncaster Rovers games, a fair few decent moves going forward to be fair. Connor Shanks looks to have had some pretty tidy moments too.

 

Our defence should appear in a government social distancing promotional video

 

Think that goal of Coppingers was meant as a cross

 

Anyone remember Mark Leonard? My only memory of him was he went bright red after running around for a bit. Cant have been that great if that's my only memory

 

Parker described it as goal of the season. It was a great team goal started inside their own half.

 

You need to get on YouTube, look up Bradford City V Everton league cup. Classic City cup night which often gets forgotten. Full house under the floodlights, Kop still a terrace, as was Bradford End (full of scousers). Leonard scores a header from 20 yards against Southall in his prime, unbelievable!!!
The mighty ginger god stuart returned to VP that night for Everton having signed that summer and unbelievably, the fat unfit tosser we bought to replace him, otherwise known as Ian Banks, along side party boy Leigh Palin absolutely bossed midfield in a “one night only” display, both scored along with Leonard in a 3-1 win. Your post made me google it and happy memories came flooding back.

 

On the same day Huddersfield play us at 6pm they also play Fleetwood at 4 pm. So I think our game will be just a training exercise rather than a full blown pre season friendly.
