    Just seen their equaliser yesterday. Lewis wasn’t impeded. He just flapped at the ball and totally missed!

    Who knows what will happen. All I know is that on our day we are capable of beating anyone in this league. Sadly we are also capable of losing to the worst team in this league.
    Hold on to your seats, things may not be comfortable.

    If ever there is a must win game this is it. It wouldn’t be fatal but with the run in we have even the play offs will be in danger. We need to be at it from the start not chasing it in the last ten minutes.

    We need to stop blaming referees and start looking at tactics and game management. We don't deserve promotion ....

    Its a lack of character and resilience. Simple as that. Easier to just blame the ref.

    Lewis made two very good save after we went 2 - 1 up but I had jitters every time Gillingham had a corner he's a big lad who should be getting to ball like the one for the equaliser, gutted once again Cook gets us out of jail with very little service, and to be fair I thought bringing Platt on was the right call but lets not forget that shocking first half where we could have been 3 down, we looked frightened to death today first half, I worry for our last 3 games after our first half performance Northampton, Crewe and Orient, I hate to say it but it could be another season at least in this league.

    Hard to blame the players when poor management has cost us in games The situation with poor style of set up and play and subs is comical at times.

    Shame he didn’t see through Edin or his own greed.

    Once again I find myself agreeing with you Mr Ford, bewildering how a top business man could get into that sort of situation where he as a multi millionaire get's into bed with someone he hardly knew and then allows him virtually free reign with regards OUR CLUB, mind blowing, more worrying was the fact that many were aware of what was happening at OUR CLUB yet the message of what was happening at was ignored until a couple of ordinary Bradford City fans got into Rupps ear and told him some home truths.

    It’s been a big frustration for years now, we seem to use 3 or 4 loan spots on squad fillers, we may as well just have one or two of the young lads on the bench. It’s actually an improvement as well that’s the bad thing the fact one or two are actually in the first team.

    Loans should only come in to upgrade the first 11.

    Disagree about Banks. Would be near top of my shopping list if there was a chance of getting him back.

    Once Banks left the pitch we lost our only effective outlet. Gillingham could then push on without fear of the counter. It could've been a good opportunity to bring Dion on, with his ball retaining skills had he been on the bench. I also think Clayton has been a bigger miss than we think with his knack of being in right place to receive the ball and tidy things up. Our current midfield has reverted to the type unfortunately, at exactly the wrong time.

    For all the talk from the players of cup finals, they've put in probably the worst two 45 minute performances of the season in the last 2 games. Will we get anything at Northampton, probably not. They will press our back four again and wait for us to cough up possession, just like the home game. They won't give us anytime on the ball and with a victory being enough for them, I can't see anything other than a convincing defeat. Big week in training this week and I don't want to hear a word from the players. Actions speak louder than words. We somehow have to find 7 points from next 9 on the table.

    I can't see that MH will learn from his errors, when he has persisted all season having them playing out from the back, when its obvious to all these tactics are a disaster.This is BRADFORD CITY in div 2, not f!!!ing BARCELONA.

    I had forgot about Eisa. 2 year of wages for a hand full of games , mostly forgetable, another for the exit door.
