    Might be a friendly but fairly impressed with what I've seen so far. Think we look the better team. Just need to create some more clear cut chances and take them

    Osadebe was very mobile. Looked promising

    Sod that, I’m excited. I’ve seen us in all four pre season matches and I can’t remember being this excited since 1999.
    Make hay whilst the sunshines and all that.
    We could pick two promotion winning defences and front threes.
    Proper team - up as champions

    For a central defender, Crichlow certainly has an eye for a pass.

    Really promising game that, know its a friendly but team oozed quality. Osadebe played great! him and critchlow probably had the best games out of those on the pitch. was shocked to find out wadsworth (the lad witth the ponytail) is only seventeen

    was impressed with platt and oliver too, I would guess that team with Oliver in for Cook is our starting 11.

    really looking forward to this season now!!

    I was thinking more a permanent move for Diamond. Can see Sunderland letting him go now they are in the Championship

    Thought he was bang off it last night, way behind Oliver and Angol in terms of troubling defenders, winning headers and holding the ball up.

    Not sure what it is with him, but when he jumps he always jumps a few feet in front of the defender instead of up close and in running situations is more often bullied off the ball. I'll be very surprised if he starts out first game.

    He isn't really the biggest or quickest, a similar shape to say Windlass perhaps, but cook isn't clever enough to win free kicks or beat the defender in the same situations that windlass could.

    You could see the massive difference Oliver made winning nearly every header against their centre half

    We got out of the ‘blocks’ fast last season! What we failed to do was sustain the momentum!

    Look where Bristol Rovers were at the same point(20th). Port Vale were 17th! Even Exeter had a fairly lacklustre start and were mid table.

    Where we are at the end of October will be a better indication as to how the season could progress.

    Believe it. Remember we have done our business early which is great. Other teams will invest.

    We have to improve from 14th and are playing catch up to some. The team needs to gel.

    I hope we go up this season but it won't be as easy as some on here think.

    You hope we go up ? Where’s that ambition you keep harping on about you know the one people of Bradford don’t have ? Seems like you have u-turned again or you really wasn’t too ambitious yourself

    See @Fordy117@Fordy117 this is the kind of post expected of you.

    None of that blah-di-blah consolidate and free hit nonsense. Grow a pair, lad! You should be insisting on success.
