    Do you think Paudie had just called him a dancer?

    We usually make hard work of playing against ten men but yesterday we moved the ball around very well to make Salford work more, and it was noticeable that after Paudie scored not only did Salford look deflated, they also looked shattered. I thought Gilliead looked far more threatening with Sutton linking up with from right back. The new lad Walker adds something with his control and the runs he makes dragging defenders out of position.

    Talking of cheats, have you seen the forest green player throw himself to the floor in the build up to Northamptons late equilizer

    I went into the Salford game with 0% optmism, after us winning, my optimism moving forward is increasing, however, it'll still take a decent run of solid results for me to get back to where I was with my optimism.

    Good win for the team, but we'll see how we get on in the next few games.

    COME ON CITY!!!

    i think qualifying it with against ten men is important. we dont have the nads to dominate a game like that against 11 or we'd be in the promotion spots. we've got it in our locker to go up against the best teams in the league but coaxing it out of this group on a weekly basis is the issue for me.

    Who knows we may have done yesterday especially with walker running things. One thing is for sure, we didn't win because they had ten men. Wd won because for once Adams grew some balls, sussed out that Salford were going to sit behind the ball by waiting ten mins into the second half, and went for it by bringing an injured Andy Cook on.

    He should be applauded for changing early and really giving it a go.

    Yeah. I was going to say the same. Brilliant compared to the dross usually served up. Like how he clamped down on time wastiing especially when the lad of theirs blatantly booted the ball over the Bradford end after the ref had blown for something.

    Strange how the (its because Salford only had 10 men) brigade fail to make the same argument why Sutton United could not beat a 10 man Bradford City team after being in front twice, I'd suggest the league tables does not lie Sutton were a better team that Bradford City.

    Sutton definitely gave us another dimension down the right. You could argue he's the best right back at the club.
    He is one I hope we keep.
    I could see him developing into a Championship player in 2-3 years time.

    I've realised why I'm in a great mood today.

    It's 4th division football, it's not the cutest but you just can't beat a victory at the weekend.

    Sutton better than Bradford ????? They where easily the poorest team I’ve seen down there in a long while which sums up how bad this league really is

    Great result yesterday especially after the poor showing at Carlisle last week. Walker looks a good player and if we can get a couple more in this window with his qualities then we could be on the up.
    One thing I noticed, sorry if it’s been said already but the whole team put a shift in for 90 minutes, in previous games IMO we seem to run out of steam around the 75 minute mark. Is the introduction of our new fitness coach Andy K making a difference, it could be my imagination (plus it’s early days) but hopefully it is which can only be good for the team as we look to progress in the second half of the season.

    I think he meant Sutton were better than Salford

    In most changing rooms he would get a lot of stick. However since Cooper that attitude is installed in the club and players

    I just saw that on Sky, amazing but I’d start the search in the book depository.

    Hmm, not a great goal return for a striker - 68 in over 300 games. But hey ho, who knows.
