Well done to the players and coaching staff, they’ve won a hell of a lot recently and score a lot as well. With the season not having much in terms of things to play for I wonder if there’s any attacking talent that we could give some minutes too? Every player that gets a pro contract always seems to be defensive minded last 5-6 years, it’d be good to see a decent attacker come through and coached with being the first choice striker at the club within the next 2-3 years.

 

Apologies, I was one game out. I still think it is ludicrous that you can beat everyone else by miles in a regular season and still not be champions.

 

Its madness that a team that actually finises in fifth place, has the chance to be declared champions.
They could be 10 or 20 points behind our boys, who have been on a fantastic unbeaten run.
Just give them the bloody title. I always find the playoffs a farce , that someone who finishes seventh in our league can get promoted , a day at Wembley and a trophy, but if you finish second and third , you just get the promotion.
I know its a money spinner for the EFL and we have benifitted from it. I just find it really unfair .

 

The super league format is a load of bollocks as well, you get a league leaders shield , but your not champions.
Money talks in sport and it is not right than some teams get rewarded, for a short sprint when the others won the marathon.

 

At Half time today City winning 5-0.

 

Nice one!

I actually didn't know Harrogate had a youth team as such?

 

Great to see our young team performing well.

 

Their season is by no means over. The format of the youth league means there is a final 5 game play off league before the league winners are decided, weird though that is. So they have not already won the title and there is plenty still to play for.
I agree it would be nice for one or more of them to get some experience with the senior squad if possible.

 

I meant the senior teams season is over in terms of having nothing to play for, as nice as it is for the young lads if it’s a choice between giving someone with genuine talent some real first team experience or letting them win a youth league then I say get him in the first team picture now while the pressure is off they’ll develop and learn far more.

 

Sorry Allotment but it’s four games , Grimsby, Lincoln, Rotherham and Doncaster, two games at home and two away. The final regular league game against Mansfield is this Friday at Horsfall playing fields.
Bradford hold a Five points lead going into the last game over Grimsby who play there last game on Saturday at home to Huddersfield Town.

 

what the hell is this playoff crap all about? never seen something so pointlessly stupid in my life. 5 points clear with a game to go and they might not win the title, how the feck does that teach them anything about senior football

 

Quite a way for the youth team to end the regular season.

 

Amazing that Drury was awful in his time with the senior squad but is a huge success at youth level. Goes to show some people might not be useless, just in the wrong role for their skill set.

 

He's at Ossett United.

 

At youth level I'm not sure it really matters but at adult yes I agree with you. Those kids will be getting it rammed home to them that they are champions and winners for the season. However it's a journey to becoming a professional. Now the coaches will see how they handle a group of one off games with more pressure

 

A bit like the farce that is both codes of Rugby

 

Martin Drury and his team have quietly been doing a great job developing our new and youngest players. Kudos to them all. This is the way we'll eventually get some more good Bradford youngsters nearer to the first team squad. Good work guys.

 

Hope they win tonight and also hope to see them have a walk round the pitch at VP sometime tomorrow getting great support from the faithful
and generate some interest for their play off games.
Great season so far hope it continues.
Well done to all concerned!

 

wow , just seen this. What a way to finish the regular season . Is that 14 unbeaten as well.
10 - 0 well done to all.
