Match Thread Home V Bolton Sat 6th March. 3pm kick off.

Non of this underdog mentality, be confident and cocky all the best in sport are they know they’re the best and let their performances do the talking. If Bolton are expecting to win then so they should be as should we, the two giants in this league collide it’s time we started acting like a big club instead of little old Bradford.

Over the last 14 games(nearly a third of the season) we are the best team in the league, we are at home. Let them be worried about us, let’s be on the front foot and take them to the cleaners.

 

Not a very nice attitude Hutch, there’s never been any bad blood between our teams that I’m aware of and since we’ve personally never met how can you dislike me? It might be different after Saturday when the “turkeys” have left with 3 points but c’est la vie buddy

Well said Wilsden. You are a big club and not just at this level, but much higher up too, so I can’t understand some of your fans talking you down. I know you don’t have as famous a history as some but as you can see from us, it matters not, it’s what you do going forward and how you make history. I’ve never really understood why Bradford never did better than they did. You have a fantastic fan base and could easily survive again in the PL with good ownership. Other than on Saturday obviously, I genuinely wish you well. You shouldn’t be at this level and whatever the result this weekend let’s hope we can both continue our good runs and on to promotion.

 

We'll dick em 4 nowt (copyright of someone else on here).

 

Totally agree. Nothing wrong with a bit of cockiness. It’s alien to us - we’ve been used to mediocrity for far too long.

I’m expecting us to win on Saturday. And so do the bookies.

 

Lets hope for a good game. My sort of logic is we could do with not losing and that would be a better result for us! If they win, the gap between us would be 7 points and two games in hand. If we win however, that is a much bigger blow to Bolton as we are then only a point behind! Still I thought the same against Exeter when we lost, and then we we claimed 6 points from the next two games and they managed just 1!

 

Sounds as though Evans is fit to start in place of Crankshaw. Conor is not telling journalist's whether it's Cook or Rowe to as the striker.

 

Key to this is how well Paudie and/ or Canavan can shackle Doyle. Stop him & Sarcevic and we stop Bolton. Close run win for me, but a win all the same.

 

I don’t think he said he was going to start

 

Of course not you don't announce your team to the press on a Thursday.

 

Do keep up @Ulysses S Grant. We've 4 pages on the 'other' Bolton topic.
We never had this much trouble with @stonewalljackson

 

I thought he said that Evans was fit but the players with the shirt at the moment were doing well

 

Well let me remind you of a nasty incident at Burnden Park when we won 2-0 to clinch the 2nd Div championship in 1985.

We had just celebrated with the players and IIRC they were off up the players tunnel to our right and bottles and other objects were thrown at them by Notlob fans.

On to the game, will be a tight game but we just find a way to win-so a City win and a massive move forwards to safety and then into the top 7.

 

Ha, good luck with that USG but don’t forget Dapo, Fonz, King Arthur and Mad Marcus Maddison. Think your defence might be busy?

 

Just wait till your keeper faces a thunderbolt from Rowe he won’t see it coming

 

Both clubs are currently failing in league positions but as I said at the start of the season when many of you were laughing at Bolton that they will go up this season. People need to understand that my footballing knowledge is high. I know what I am talking about.

In terms of the game but come into it in good form but Bolton have to be favourites but I expect 3 points for City! Stopping Doyle is the key.

 

I think we could say the same thing around VP in times gone past KB. Sadly both clubs had idiots in those days but hopefully it won’t happen now. I agree, it will be a tight game and could go either way with a goal. Let’s just hope it’s a good un and if there is a winner they deserve it.

 

Easy...just give him a 'City' shirt..!!

 

Maddison ? Ah you mean the most overrated player in league two. Paudie will eat Doyle for breakfast. Your going home with nowt.

How's MM settled in? Does he look a cut above or not really made as much impact as you might have expected?

Definitely a bit of a wrong 'un and I'm not sure I'd want him here but you can't deny the lads talent when he can actually be bothered.
