    Playoffs aren't yet achieved though. They haven't won in 5 and if they don't win their last game they can drop out of the playoff positions they've been in since October..

    Ok now my fellow Bantams let us have 100 % positivity today. The vibes will reach the lads It is still a long shot but so was our charge into the playoffs in 1996. We then lost at home to Blackpool in the first leg 0-2. Everyone thought it was over including the Blackpool players and fans, and Kami used it to inspire the players. Still one of the best football nights for me was stood on that crumbling stand and watching our players do us proud. We have form for this type of dash into the playoffs. Win tonight and all bets are off.

    You can throw the form book out of the window tonight.
    It's an obvious statement but on the night the team who wants it more will take the spoils.
    Will Lady Luck eventually shine on the Bantams I'd like to think so.
    Let's take it to the wire.

    Its amazing that in this shithouse of a season we are 44 matches in and still have a chance of the play offs. Don't put that down to form though, it just shows what a terrible league this is.

    A win tonight is an absolute must and then who knows. It's still possible for both Barrow and Crawley to drop points and we make it. Remember Hull. We needed other teams to lose and they did.

    I was a little perturbed driving there, felt better as the game went on, elated at the end of the game then when driving home the slip road onto the motorway was hilarious Bradford City fans out of their cars dancing up and down the slip road to the amusement of the HGV drivers backing up on the M55, we've had some good nights over the years and many poor ones but pulling a 2 - 0 deficit back over 90 minutes was one incredible achievement.

    Still my favourite ever live city game of all time (I sadly wasn’t in the country for Villa and Chelsea).

    Donny vs Colchester tonight too, who could still climb through.

    Final day, we are playing Newport who are the worst team in the form table at the minute. Barrow are at home to Mansfield, who have 4 wins on the trot. It's not at all out the question for Barrow to lose 2 on the spin here. We just have to win 2 on the spin......

    .... although we all know City. We'll win tonight, Mansfield will hammer Barrow and then Newport will absolutely rob us late on.

    Mansfield will play like Orient did last season perhaps to let Barrow through?

    Hope not. Mansfield still won at the weekend after promotion and only made 2 or 3 changes. Fingers crossed they put out another strong side at the weekend.

    Although putting the cart before the horse a bit, we still have to win tonight. Our record without Walker this season is pretty naff with 3 wins from 15. Need someone to fill his shoes for 90!

    Feel your pain mate, I felt the same when I was told Weatherfield is a fictional town.

    It was you that stopped and put the city scarf on the statue of Stanley Matthews at the end of the motorway wasn't it. Come on, fess up.

    From a positive perspective (@Onside@Onside), if we sneak a win tonight - even without Walker - and Colchester do similarly at home against Donny, Saturday could provide an exciting end to the season.

    After 45 games with a bit of luck on our side ..

    Barrow 68 pts GD 6
    Crawley 67 pts GD 4
    Doncaster 67 pts GD 1
    City 66 pts GD -1
    Walsall 65 pts GD 0

    All chasing the final 2 play-off places! It could be very exciting with the right results tonight! :thumbup:

    Mind you, there's still the mighty Newport to overcome! :(

    Our best chance is Doncaster losing tonight. They are away at Gillingham on Saturday.

    In an ideal world we could do with a win by 2 or 3 tonight to bring our GD closer to Barrows, if we only win by 1 then realistically Barrow only need a draw on Saturday to finish above us.
