    Simon Francis and Nahki Wells were not City academy players! Andy O’Brien left in 2001. Nearly ancient history that.

    We sold an under 14 to Liverpool a few years back. Can't remember his name and we have sold others before even close to the first team.

    This was Rhodes model. Sell early.

    There are a lot of footballers about who originate from the Bradford area which we missed. One if the good things about the Sparks interview last night was the bit about Alan Nevison being brought in to remedy that

    Yes he looks very comfortable for an 18year old looks like he has got a good future

    Suspension or ill health could be addd to that list, but I agree with your general premise.

    Agree. Looked more comfortable on the ball going forwards yesterday than previous games and played 2/3 really good through balls.

    Not ones who think about it. They join clubs where the chance of progressing is good.

    Definitely his best game yesterday and still only 18. Good on him, he's taking his opportunity with both hands

    A lot of effort but still some way from being a permanent starter. Made the mistake for the goal and sometimes is looking around for where to be positional.

    He's slightly better than Threlkeld, so deserves his place at the moment.

    However, neither of them are good enough and we need a RB in January.

    He did well at Port Vale there tbf. His cross for Angol, after cutting in, was superb.

    my only issue is that he’s left footed and wouldn’t offer natural width and any sort of outlet going forward in the long run. We need width from our full backs given the narrow formation.

    He was very good in his run. I’m not sure Adams will want a left footer on the right long term as its not natural width and will reduce crosses, but given our CBs are so slow maybe there’s a chance for him in the back three at some point?

    its unfortunate for him really that Ridehalgh has been so consistent since arriving

    He did, I suppose its a matter of round pegs in round holes, we have FCD who in the past hasn't let us down and I thought was unlucky to lose his place when Threlkeld returned from his injury but I wasn't impressed with FCD yesterday maybe it was on instructions from Adams but everything went down the left whereas at times the space on the right was embarrassing.

    I was an advocate for FCD after the first couple of games but yes he slipped twice to my knowledge yesterday unfortunatly the second was at a crucial time, but all round we were average and although Northamptons position in the league suggested they were a good side yesterdays performance said otherwise IMO.

    Wow. Just seen his tackle again. Off the floor, reckless and dangerous. How was that not a red ?
