    Some complained through the season that Ridehalgh and Halliday weren't good enough, even Foulds. They are more than capable at this level when paired with a defender of the quality of Stubbs who is by far the best defender we've got. The lad continuously tells others where to position themselves, he's Captain material. As I posted before, a back four and keeper that's only let in 37 goals, the third rated in the division, is a strong backboard for your side.

    The only downside of Ridehalgh is his age really. If he was two years younger then he'd be fine for another couple of years.

    Hard to believe that we had no proper right back for 2/3 seasons until Halliday came along. The lad has been a great signing.

    Just watched the winning goal. Smallwood picks up the ball after it bounces out of the net and tw ats it out of the ground. :laughing::laughing:

    If we lose both matches Mansfield are only two goals behind us with a better goals scored so a 2 goal victory would be enough for them.

    Hopefully we will get at least a point at Crewe if we don’t it will be a nervy encounter on Monday against the best team in the league even after a couple of defeats. Mansfield at Colchester will be confident of a result there

    If we lose both games I'd think any GD advantage we had would be wiped out., 3 points at Crewe would be great but we cant lose and leave it to the Orient game at home that would be some pressure.

    Exactly right, we lose our next two and Mansfield win their last game then a 4 goal deficit is soon turned around. Makes getting a result at Crewe all the more important as I wouldn't want to face the champions Leyton Orient needing a point next Monday.

    Big if, when was the last time we lost 2 on the trot? 2022. Plus a depleted Mansfield actually need to win as well, that’s also of both Salford and Carlisle also avoid defeat. There’s about as much chance as automatics as 8th, I.e not really worth discussion.

    My view is, win 1-0 against Crewe and we’re just 2 points behind with better gd yet we lose 1-0 and we’re 3 points ahead of 8th with plus 3 gd. It would take a spectacular collapse, I know Mansfield are overrated by some on here but they’re crap and I don’t even expect them to win on the final day. Their fans have given up and after that last result it looks like their team have.

    As I say I hope you are right but just in case of any complacency we are playing Crewe are top of the home form table with 5 wins and a draw. And the best team in the league over the season. Of course we are good enough hopefully to win both but it’s possible to lose both so a point in Tuesday will ease tension

    Why not if it’s true? How many City fans still live in Bradford? I haven’t lived there since I was 18.
