Most liked posts in thread: City V Wigan

I really like the sound of this Palmer boy. Haven't seen a negative mention of him. And by the sound of it ( by ppl that actually went to these friendlies), we seem to have a team that plays together . I'm excited at the prospect of winning some games.

 

Sign the centre back. You can never have enough centre backs.

 

So they ARE now an ambitious club but at 6.01pm today they weren't so what exactly happened in the last hour or so to change your mind?

 

He did have a good game. He played wide right and generally looked to attack at every opportunity. Won a few tackles and made an excellent run to set up Vaughan for a free shot at goal-that was deflected just over the bar. Noticeably after that a few players went to Gibson to pat him on the back and say well done. Clearly he is a confidence player and looked confident.

 

When I started watching City many Lancashire clubs were 1st division for many years with the odd relegation, Bolton, Burnley, Blackpool, Blackburn all with very good attendances for small Towns.
Although traveling was nothing like as easy as it is now a days there were many who nipped over the border to support those teams Burnley mainly.

 

The big club argument - arguing about intangibles mixed with irrelevant 'facts' and figures...

It's too warm for that nonsense.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing him have another go in a central position, acquitted himself well there against Liverpool. If it were to be him and Palmer though I worry that maybe too lightweight for L2 as I haven;t seen enough of Palmer to see if he can do the physical side yet.

 

Seems like the club have reduced prices for tomorrow to £10 for adults https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2019/july/turnstile-information-city-wigan-athletic/

 

Gibson isn’t going to play in a 2 man midfield

 

The 4 trailists we have in still are Chris Taylor, Nortei Nortey, Andy Taylor and Luke Wall so expect it will be them. It's probably also to boost numbers a bit as we only have 21 outfield players that are fit and most likely any loans won't come in until the season has started when the window for Premier League and Championship clubs has closed and squads back from their pre season tours with settled squads.

 

It's interesting that this is our second home match of the pre season. Seems like GB is trying to get the team used to the stadium.

 

Full marks? If they'd have priced it right in the first place it would have saved them a job.

 

True but they listened and acted and take credit for it

 

Quite interested to see how we fare tomorrow. Be hoping for some more encouraging signs in what should be a good test. Whilst you can’t read too much into these games, we certainly want to be seeing plenty of positives.

 

I ain't giving credit for something that was wrong in the first place. £15 for friendly? Who's idea was that?

 

or Stuart Pearce

 

Bread & scrape

 

Scandalous generalisation!!
