How so?. Another decent point on our travels. I'll take that thank you very much.

 

Remain on our unbeaten run . Valuable point. Long way to go yet -many more twists and turns to come.

 

Stubbs has been an outstanding signing. Man mountain tonight

 

Correct Dave.

Of course we'll have some on here, thinking that promotion teams create lots of chances every match and play scinitliating footie for 100% of the 46 matches

Every promotion winning team, we've seen had one of these 'roll your sleeves up' performances.

 

Can’t be arsed arguing with those that think we have a right to win every game.

Good point against a side who doesn’t concede.

Happy with that.

 

A tweak to the playing squad needed, or just more time for them to learn to play, all the time, the way Hughes wants them
to? I'm more inclined now to think we will end up in the playoffs (at least), and if we don't go up this year, we should -- barring injuries/players wanting away -- be title contenders next year, not just promotion candidates. The idea that next season is the proper one, this one is the preparation, may not be all that far-fetched. Still, I'd prefer the promotion this season...

Excellent away record, on pace for best defensive record in our history -- these are signs of a good team. The home record indeed could be better, but if we reversed the home and away numbers we wouldn't be half so dissatisfied. It remains a problem that we rely too much on Cook to score -- and no one converts 100% of their shots -- and are not always playing in a way that gives him the best chance to do so.

When have we ever "walked a division?" We didn't even do it in that otherwise brilliant title win in 1928/9 -- Stockport only 1 point behind us. And that was unquestionably a good team defensively and an exceptional team offensively. The opposing sides have a say in all this, and they can nullify a good team in various ways: by being good, or better, themselves, by "parking the bus," by kicking lumps out of the good team...

Don't get any of this gloom over last nights result. We got a point away from home without actually playing well and kept another clean sheet. Wallsall have only lost 4 of their past 20 + games, drawing a lot, 9 without a win. It is usually us that break those type of runs.
All this on the back of 3 out of the last 4 games away from home, 1 of those a slog down to Gillingham, where the players from the North east, did not get home until 6 in the morning, after arriving back in Bradford at about 4ish.
10 points from the last 4 matches is a good return and similar over the next 4 will probably see us in the auto's. Onward's and upwards.

 

Have to agree

The negatrons over at CA Towers were moaning on Twitter last night, about lit being our 6th 0-0 of the season and asking what the record was for 0-0 draws. I pointed out we had six 0-0 draws in the 2012-13 promotion season...predictably they ignored my comment

 

If we continue with our current form results wise, we will get promoted, irrespective of performances

I'm liking the very solid foundation of clean sheets first and foremost

 

I'm amused by fans who think that you can trust a weather forecast four / five days in advanced, when it involves snow predictions for an group of islands tucked up in the north east corner of the atlantic.

Most forecasts deliberately give a pessimistic forecast - particularly for snow. This is because, as a nation we're now as neurotic about the Health and Safety implications of snow - so it's like the proper snow winters of 1963, 1979, 1982, 1995 or 2011 never existed

 

I’ve just asked my boss if I can finish at 4 today,so I can be a proper fan and go to Walsall tonight.

My boss told me to get back to work and stop being bleeding stupid.

At least I made “the effort”.

Oh well,ifollow it is then.

 

We've had some bright moments but we've also been sloppy at times. Sharpen up the final ball, continue to defend well and there are 3 points here.

Should have had a penalty too.

 

Could easily be 2-0 up too. I don't think they've really been any better than us, we just need to sharpen up a bit. I think this game is made for Banks.

 

Crikey we are top of the current form league and you come out with this shit?

 

For me all that matters is that City go up, i don't care if they have 1/2 a shot on target per game just get promoted, that will do for me. I don't care if they wear ballerina outfits and and have 1 shot on goal, it does not matter just keep winning.

 

A cheeky bid , depending on his contract situation?

 

Agreed. I wouldn't expect him to look happy as he wants promotion just as much as us and when he came off we had been fluffling our lines again.

i.e. he's a player who does gives a flying you know what

 

2 hours !

During the evening rush hour to Walsall?

That’s your daftest comment of the year.

It’s 2.5 hours if everyone on the planet stayed indoors for the whole day.

 

4:20 am I got back from Gillingham last Wednesday morning. It's difficult midweek even if you can afford it. I'm working nights this Tuesday and I've run out of holidays until they start again at the beginning of April so it's not even up for debate for me unfortunately.
