    I love going.

    I don't enjoy every game or result, but I love going.

    If didn't like it, I wouldn't go.

    I don't like cricket.

    So I don't go.

    Magic, eh?

    Ah well, perhaps I'm being harsh then. It looked closer and easier to me at the time.

    If you were in the stand you were a long way from it to be fair offy. I saw it on TV so obviously a much closer view and better angle.

    No, I watched it on iPlayer (from Germany ;)). Just my ageing memory getting the better of me. I do remember Kiwomya saying that he should have done better with the header.

    Both teams looked poor and Mansfield were nothing special
    If we aren’t going into every game believing we can win the the management is totally wrong

    Other teams don't seem to have signed as many players as us under Hughes, just better ones.

    If we are not good enough to score, we ain't going to win. Hughes signed all of these players so obviously thinks they are better than we have seen(Walker, Pattison, Stubbs and Lewis excepted). Let's hope there is more to come for I'm sure that I'm not the only one to be bored already.

    No doubting Cook won’t be our leading scorer but for no the fact is he hasn’t scored all season and has really looked like doing.

    No mate, I go to games!

    It’s not even about reading any report. It’s about if you deep down think we are good enough or you just want to make excuses for failure.

    We should be not pleased or find it acceptable drawing or losing!

    If you find it acceptable then you have gone!! I suggest you support Halifax! You know not bothered if they lose or draw! It’s just a game to them!

    No ambition, low expectations!

    Spot on in home fixture’s it’s usually the home team that dictates the style of play. If by the sound of it yesterdays play is replicated at home as it was on occasions last season especially against poor teams then there is every room for criticism but not in a tough away match against a team expecting to be in the mix at the end of the season lots of our fans gave us very little chance and yet we took a point definitely 1 point gained

    Yes before the match most of us would have taken a point, but seeing how poor Mansfield were as the match unfolded, we should have gone for them. Too many times last season we settled for a point when we could have gone for it. They had a centre forward at right back and yet we left a left winger on the bench!

    You mean other lower league clubs shoehorn players into positions they're not accustomed to? Well I never I thought that was just us.

    I would like to know how in our fans eyes as soon as teams play us no matter how well they have done previously they turn into rubbish to be easily taken. The fact is Mansfield are unbeaten in league and cup

    My point is you would hope a decent left winger would take a makeshift RB to the cleaners. We had a left winger on the bench and didn't use him

    Because even good teams have off days or have to field weakened teams. When they do I would like us to try and take advantage

    We are Bradford city, we were once in the premier league, we get 17000+ home gates, our owner is loaded, we have a devine right to beat all this lower league dross.
    We have no right to win football matches, just like any club on match day,
    Could we be better, of course , so could other clubs.

    They had 11 players missing and clough was disappointed with display and a point.

    So if we have 11 players missing due to injury on Saturday and we draw Grimsby will be happy with that? Clough will have been disappointed that they did n’t snatch it in the end but on reflection delighted with the point under those circumstances. We should be disappointed that we did n’t cash in on our good luck and their misfortune. It’s Mansfield not Man City. They’re not blessed with 30 top L2 players. Our next coach needs to be a coach who is brave, ruthless and can create a winning mentality, not someone who is just happy to be back in football and loving every minute.
