    Sorry but if you are pigeonholing Kavanagh with Smith and calling him woeful then I’m glad you’re not a scout for the club, you’ll make Gent look good! He’s also far from lightweight for his size, I’m shocked by this assessment tbh.

    I didn't realise that Kavanagh is younger than Pointon

    Have we ever had 5 players in the SkyBet team of the day before?

    Sam Walker looks very good. Very impressed with his start here.

    I think he is good. I don’t think any of the goals that have been scored against us could have been prevented, in fact it could have been more.

    I wasn't convinced after his first game where he seemed hesitant but that has certainly changed. He's made some good saves, comes for crosses and seems to bring a calm reassurance.

    I’m seeing him far too lightweight , and meat and drink for big mobile defenders. Hey opinions.

    If he was invisible I would agree, as he would be steering clear of the big defenders but he is nearly always getting in the right position. His confidence is shot atm.

    I know you didnt I just pointed out leaving Cook out doesn't guarantee a good performance or result.

    Nah we've copyrighted that situation, no matter which team it is the fickle fans always come up with the same excuse yet some believed it was unique to Bradford City ;).

    No, the sponsors gave it to Kavanagh, as did Simon Parker. The Twitter vote gave it to Pointon.

    I commented about the kid Heath Richardson getting brought back from Cleethorpes Town with immediate effect, that may have been a clue that the kid might have gained a little experienced being on the bench, its not as if we have anything to play for, get em blooded and lets see how the face up to mens football.

    Correct. Yesterday was the first league game we've won this season when Cook hasn't been playing.

    Obviously with regards Bobby being from Bradford and scoring a cracker I wouldn't have disagreed if that had been the call, but Kavanagh never stopped, pulling the Tranmere defenders all over the place, I believe I read it on Bradford City Face Book group.

    I think I commented at the start of the game Alexander was hoping for the kind of performance we saw against Wycombe, unfortunately Mansfield looked a far classier outfit than Wycombe on the day.

    This is what pisses me off (not your post) why is it default that when Cook plays we have to lather it up to him, there were several times yesterday where we'd worked our way up to the final third, once there you either have the confidence to take it on yourself or look for a runner off the ball, unfortunately as I say we found ourselves in that situation with not big man to aim at so the attacking move petered out.
    Yes I'm a big fan of Cooks but if we are to play as we did yesterday which we have tried before when Cook hasn't been available you have to see a player taking responsibility as Pointon did yesterday.
