Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Bradford City V Grimsby Town: Saturday 1st April @ 1.00pm

Some of you (usual suspects) need to take a hard look in the mirror and question if you really are a Bradford City supporter, give your heads a shake, the game is 90 minutes not 45.
What a great game of football, started well goal in front and looking very positive going forward, we go 2 - 1 down before half time but still try to play our football.
Chapman was not having the best of games and was rightly subbed bringing Derbyshire on (the man is a class act) Walker makes it 2 - 2 game on, Derbyshire finds Cook with a great ball the rest is history another far from easy finish from Cook.

 

We absolutely battered Crawley last night ,should have been 5 or 6 but our finishing is awful . The shackles have come off the last 5 or 6 games as we have nothing to play for so it should make for an entertaining game as whatever the result at least we are keeping it on the floor and playing football -our last 5 games have been very un league 2 so hoping for more of the same .

As of yesterday we have sold 2200 so should get near to your limit , we are travelling well everywhere this season and getting great home crowds (sold out home end every game ) but it now only holds around 8k due to various problems with the age of the stadium , we have just found out another 350k is needed to just keep the old wooden stand open for next season bringing the total cost to around 1 million over the last 3 years to keep our old ground open .

There are some lovely areas outside of the Town like somebody said , unfortunately the stadium is right in the spot of years of under investment,poverty and disrepair .....you can still get a 50k house there though which isnt possible many place else these days

Look forward to the trip over and hopefully a good game

 

Still buzzing off my tits after that second half. Thanks to @Salty for the ticket, kind gesture mate.

 

I Think Halliday has been one of the signings of the season decent defender and gets forward well. No Meredith but steady away

 

Matt Derbyshire. Fair play. Take a bow, lad.

 

Agree no place for that , a section of our fanbase still make me cringe .

Well played the second half and will keep an eye out for your results ,hopefully you make it up and then you wont see me back here next season for the fixtures !

 

And this is why boys and girls you should never take drugs.

Like myself no one has a clue what the hell you are on about, bloody weirdo

 

Funny that some folk think this is your cup final when you've had a couple of real biggies this season. You did the division proud tbf

 

65€ ht/ft win off a 2,50€ bet too.

 

Well done City. Like others, I feared a draw at absolute best at half time. Derbyshire making a real impact coming off the bench - well done to him.

 

I'm probably on my own but I like Chapman. He's positive and can beat a man which opens up the space. Clearly he needs to improve his final ball and his shooting but he does influence games and was our most creative outlet earlier in the season.

 

Some strong performances out there today when we needed it.

Gifted them 2 goals but dug in and deservedly took all 3 points.

What a bench we now have to change games.

Loved the way we slowed the game down after we scored and THAT Walker roll from off the pitch made me chuckle. About time we did a bit of shithousery ourselves.

Could be in a very strong position after the next 2 games. Nothing to fear so let's go at Crawley from the off nice and direct and get some early goals to settle us down.

Just nice to ram it back down the Grimsby players throats after the way they celebrated their 2nd goal in front of the kop.

Finally what a great atmosphere second half.

 

That's what it's all about mate, we may have our differences but when it comes to a situation like Scunthorpe, Bury and Wrexham in the past we all give our support as we know how we would feel if it was our club.

 

Too true mate , i know there is rivalry but when things go beyond that , in the hands of reckless people that dont care about the club most fans recognise at whatever level the old school clubs at least need to remain in existence

 

Wow.
Matty Darbyshire TAKE. A. BOW. Genuinely saw nothing in us that would get us back into that game up until he came on.

Their keeper was player of the match for me. If I were on the other side I’d be questioning he could have done better with two of our goals. Had it been Lewis we would have been disappointed.

Fair play, we dug deep and got what we needed. Christ we were poor after the goal in the first half. Hope Hughes doesn’t let them forget that - seriously wasn’t good enough.

 

And Leeds are getting a drubbing not turning out to be a bad day.

Northampton 1 - 1 Stevenage
Walsall 1 - 1 Sutton
Orient 1 - 0 Carlisle

We should be happy with todays results, we just need to be grinding those wins out.

 

Cheer up. Only 9 more lucky wins to go.

 

Full marks for a bit more attacking intent today. We controlled the first half until the penalty and most of the second half.
Still to much playing out from the back but overall an improvement and more scope for optimism. Think Gillead is having his best spell in all the time he has played for the club and got a goal today for his efforts. And Walker was terrific

 

That thread has surely got to be a wum, we all know MH has made mistakes and no doubt he knows this himself more than us all, but end of the day whatever the result of this season brings no one can say no matter how disappointing (If that's how it ends) it may be that it's not progression on our recent history, and I for one am tired of hiring and firing spin the wheel approach we've tried for many seasons. I'm more than happy to allow a likeable manager to build/learn up to something we can all get behind.

 

Surely it would be better though you would have 10+ teams bringing 2k + like we did (no disrespect but Crawley ,Sutton etc are sometimres in double figures ) ,always makes for a better atmosphere when theres a decent away crowd to bounce off
