    I know sporting arenas often get a little more leeway on hose pipe bans but I'm assuming Bradford doesn't have one as I doubt you have a grey water setup that many PL grounds do to get around any limitations on watering that gets imposed on them

    Don't think hose pipe bans are enforced against commercial businesses

    From something I read they apparently are but they can apply for limited exemptions on health and safety grounds but the article was saying even with exemptions the amount they apparently can use is far from ideal to keep the grass green. Admittedly the article was about Non-League so maybe EFL level they might get more leeway

    Mark Bower talking about how amazing McCracken is as a kicker just as our GK punts one out of play was funny

    Touray has had some really good crossing opportunities so far and hasn't delivered.

    McCracken's kicking has been brilliant so far.
    Fair play to Touray with a good positive run as well.

    Hard to understand that the set pieces are worse than last season even though looking decent in pre season

    Lots of positives in that half with Connolly and Beesley putting in strong performances.

    Frustrating that we haven't been able to get a well deserved goal yet but there are goals in this game yet.

    Been the better side, should really be ahead. Need to keep it up second half and it’ll come. Need to be patient as they’ll be more than happy with a point.

    I think we will see either Pointon or Phillips on for Jackson.

    Overall, positive but we are just lacking that final piece in central midfield.

    Except Connolly left a guy totally unmarked at the edge of the area for a free shot which thankfully he kicked over the bar.

    If he's playing CM he can't be alongside Baldwin and then start pointing at other people when an opposition player has a free shot on the edge of the box. He needs to be the midfielder on the edge of the box blocking the shot or the pass.

    We need more physical presence up front. Need Powel on

    Jackson a very lucky lad there. Pure petulance and the second challenge was more of a yellow card than the one he got in the first half.

    I see the number 9 shirt still carries the Cookie curse where it’s impossible to be given a free kick, despite constant fouls
