    That was a cracking save from their keeper.

    He's looked a bit dodgy but that was brilliant.

    Ahh here we go. One of our two dedicated strikers going off injured. This is where we see if we need to dip into the market again. Fortunately we’re winning 3-1.

    Kiwomya has officially lost it. He’s like one of these talking toys where you press a button.

    Thats the first time I've seen us in our team at League 2 and think 'we look way too good for this level'.

    I genuinely didn't think we had that level of performance in us.

    That was so impressive in so many ways.

    Great attacking football and we a
    shored up defensively in the second half. The fitness levels look superb - our press in the second half especially, Stevenage just couldn't handle. So many good performances.

    Genuinely excited about what we could achieve this season now - but..... I still think we need to add another forward to cover for Cook and Angol

    What a performance.

    Whole team was ace tonight, Cook, Cooke, Vernam all far too good for this division.

    it’s still early doors but I’ve not felt this positive about a Bradford team since our 98/99 promotion side.

    Can’t say that wasn’t bad. Even Fordy would have a J A Rank

    To be fair to me, I saw the post when I was posting the lineup, checked who @Mike Hunt@Mike Hunt had quoted and checked that post and it didn't have @NorthernMonkey@NorthernMonkey post being quoted in that. There was like 4 pages of posts and was doing a million thing so going and checking if somewhere he had also posted and then choose to reply to me when I didn't quote him was well down my list. As I said I checked the quote chain

    And thats fine, I have no problem if you decide its too much hassle to take part. It was just saying that adding a couple of names making it too complicated that I found odd.

    Anwya you could just submit without the scorers if you wanted (or just randomly add the same name however many times you think city will score). The thing is with just the score we would most likely see about 30 people end up on the same score. Just doing the score works if you are doing say a League 2 prediction league as you are having them predict every match so you will get plenty of variation but you don't on a single club's matcheswhere you need some extra variables

    TBH its much simplier than it was. Before we asked for the time of the first goal (or yellow if its a 0-0 prediction) because we gave bonus points for who was closest in their prediction but if more than 1 had the closest result/score/scorers combo we needed a way to separate them. We have moved to actually just giving bonus points for a perfect prediction where it doesn't matter if it's 1, 20 or no one who gets a perfect prediction.
