Thought it was a decent game and exceeded my expectations as I thought we’d lose comfortably, they are a good team at this level and sadly atm better than us. But credit we matched them, and if we didn’t concede a pathetic first who knows what might have been. It was an interesting game to have after beating poor side in Southend and Angels to see if we had turned a corner, against the better sides this season, in the main Newport and Harrogate we were never in the games the same can’t be said for today. So in an aspect I think we have, only to becoming a mid table side on reality but it’s an improvement on how we looked 3 week ago. It’s a shame because all we’d need is a half decent forward, a player who could protect the defence in midfield and a centre back who could organise the rest and was competent and I think we could challenge. It’s small margins at this level from top to bottom and we’re just on the wrong side to have a go. I said at the start of the season for us to be a success we’d need one of the youngsters to be a key breakthrough player and it looks that way, as I don’t think we’ll bring anyone in to improve us.

 

Absolute bollocks man. If thats what you think of Cookes first half performance then i can't help you. Apart from the goal Clarke was quiet first half.

 

6 outfield starters 24 or under on Saturday.
couple of younger players off the bench as well.
Patience is a virtue.
With the way we play, this formation we use atm and with a few additions up front i see a good future for us.
Im a right sceptic as well but surely after the cup demolition, Saturdays performance and looking at the amount of young players we are using whilst getting results there is an understanding that given time these young lads will flourish.

 

Boy that was funny.

 

I have a good feeling about today. 2-1 City win, Bradford City that is!

 

You sound like a dyslexic Alan Partridge Park!

 

Zammo says " JUST SAY NO!!"
Ask yer dad....

 

Hosannah is much better. In fact I'd say hes probably one of, our most important players. Possibly the most important. He's a big loss.

 

That " tunnel"

 

YESSSSS !!!!!

 

That is a superb goal

 

C'mon Fordy, where's the Billy Clarke slagging off? No pace, McCall's mate etc

 

You come down to earth yet.

Time you to start been real and understanding the game! Instead of getting carried away like a kid.

 

game over our defence is shite

 

From T&A "as Clarke screams: "Is anyone going to get XXXXX close to them or what?"

 

Understanding the game? Like you do Fordy?

 

Watt is having a poor game. I can see us scoring but can also see us concede more.

 

2-2 staunton!

 

Everyone seemed to want this formation yet ir simply does not work!! 3 centre backs isn't the answer.
