    Just looking through recent results and every time they've lost this season, they have won the next match. So I expect Parky to get them fired up at home to win and get back into the top three.

    Can't see us scoring so it'll be a Wrexham win.

    2 of the 3 goals they conceded against Salford were from their keeper making a right bollox of 2 corners.

    So as long as we have a decent set piece routine we should cause him problems…….

    He has but for most of the season he's been superb - so much so we were worried he'd be recalled and sold by Arsenal. I believe he's a top keeper that will play at a lot higher level than this.

    This is the first time in something like 95 games under Parky that we've lost two league games in a row.
    So generally yes we do bounce back after a defeat.

    I agree with another comment, in that we're nothing special, away, in fact I think our away form is mid table. But at home we're a different team completely. (That's us cursed) But generally we turn up all guns blazing at home. We can start slowly and that's when away teams need to get at us and score.

    Our defence cannot cope with a high press and pace running at them. Mansfield did it at their place but had no striker so didn't score. Walsall did it well at their place and beat us soundly and Salford just played like it was an FA Cup final with such intensity they stopped us completely from playing any sort of football.

    I very much doubt it will be 0-0.
    If anyone wants to know about parking or pubs etc let me know.

    Some forecasts are saying bucket loads of snow on Thursday and Friday, but others like the BBC, last time i checked predicted rain mostly, drying up Saturday. BBC are usually completely wrong though but who knows.

    We only press high when the likes of Pointon start, or like Jake Young did on Saturday in the first half. But then I think you should high press every week in league 2 as generally defences fall apart if someone runs at then in this division.

    For the League Cup match I pre-booked a parking space on Sainsbury's car park, very handy for the away section (walking down Maes Glyndwr) and easy to get away after the match.

    I'll be on the train this time and I already have my pub of choice identified.

    What pub have you chosen out of interest? There isn't really any I'd advise to avoid in town

    Yeah, best park up that way if anyone drives as its right next to the A483.

    I've had a read over this thread, and can't argue about how shit it is to get tickets from an away fan perspective. If we lived in an ideal world and everything went to plan, then the kop wouldn't temporarily exist and the new kop stand would be about 6 months away from completion. I know all too well how hard it is to get tickets to games for us. For low allocations like Salford and Harrogate were hard to come by, and local rivals Tranmere and Slops were like gold dust.

    We don't live in said world. So we have to make do as we are. We can't give any more. Rules state it has to be 10% or if not, then as close to with the safety aspect, so you're in the corner like you were for the cup game. The owners have come to an agreement in getting a temp stand whilst work behind the scenes is completed, before the building work can commence. An extra 2500 or so seats behind the goal sells out as much as the rest of the ground, so sadly we cannot offer any more tickets for you. I believe that once we have the kop, away fans will be housed behind the goal, giving a max 3k tickets. We're about 2 or 3 years away from doing that.

    Anyway, back to on the field matters. 3 defeats in a row for us, with a shit performance in the cup, coupled with 2 league defeats away at Newport (with 10 men for 75 mins) and Salford, where it really was a case of asking PP wtaf was that performance. First time we have lost 2 in a row under PP. Newer fans are shitting themselves as they've not been exposed to that yet, but for me, performances have to improve regardless of the result. After the Salford debacle, we need a reaction and hopefully playing the better players like Marriott, Bolton and Fletcher instead of Dalby will get goals. Okwonkwo in goal has been very patchy, and sniffles i've heard suggest championship clubs are looking at him. Hopefully said clubs saw his performance in the cup on the tele and Saturday's corner specials will put a few off, leaving him to sign for us :) Defensively, I can't remember a time where we have had the same back 3 for a good run of games. Totally ruined by injury to every single 1 except for Tozer, but he has had some personal issues which clearly affected him.

    As the other Wxm fan said, there isn't a pub i'd swerve. NWP like to tell fans no pubs allowed, with 1 designated in town (Ironworks) but this is a good 20 mins from the ground. Anywhere in town would be alright, including the nearer ones as the Plas Coch, Maesgwyn across the road and the Lager Club as you head into town. For parking, same as in the cup, be careful of local street parking as the council are still thinking of permit parking nearer to the ground. Train station is next door.

    Don't you go worrying your head Phil Parkinson will get you promoted, as you will know the majority of Bradford City fans enjoyed his time at Valley Parade, taking us from a potential League Two relegated side to a League One semi final, along with some fantastic moments in both the League Cup and that fantastic day at Stamford Bridge most of us never though we would see, the problems could come if he manages to get you into the Championship which with the backing the owners are giving him should follow like night follows days.
