Match Thread Away vs Stevenage Mon 5th April @ 3pm

It's absolutely bizarre. People judging players by how much they smile rather than if they can put the ball in the net or not.

Only at Bradford (City for the over 50's).

 

ha ha Don't say Bradford mate the over 50's will have a meltdown.

It's #BCFC for us under 40's anyway.

 

Rowe is probably the most natural finisher we have had in a very long time but he is a luxury in the system we play and I think he will continue to be used as an impact sub

 

That's not going to work for him or us going forward though is it?

 

I think Rowe is a maverick, but I don't think he is a luxury as a player, because he can turn a game in a blink of an eye. Worth a lot is a skill like that.

A different level, but he does remind me of a Matt Le Tissier, in that he is accused of being lazy, not tracking back, not a team player and so on. He can produce a superb goal out of nothing, just as Le Tissier could.

 

I think the reason he's only just reached the level he's at, is because he's limited at what he can do. If someone with a goal scoring record like his becomes available, you'd imagine a club in a higher league would take a punt. Vardy who was also late to the party, quickly rose up the leagues and continues to score on a regular basis. Rowe and City need to find what works best otherwise he'll continue to be a super sub.

 

I think I'm the culprit with regards noticing Danny doesnt celibrate much if at all after scoring, I just find it hard for a pro footballer not to be elated after scoring.
Your comparison with Matt Le Tissier is a good one I'll be more than happy to see him stick the winner in as a late sub and not bat an eyelid, I'll do all his calibrating from my front room .

 

Same team as Friday for me, if any change probably Evans for a bit more pace as I think we’ll be playing on the counter quite a bit.

Cook needs to start, not playing a goal scorer in his form is criminal even if the management team think he would benefit from a rest.

 

I just think he doesn't celebrate wildly when he scores because scoring is just what he does. It's nonchalant, not sulky... as I've said before, he's the chav Berbatov

 

Exactly right.
Ask any striker in form if they need a rest and i think we all know the answer they would give.

 

Agree that is the word I used in my original post along with the video, "nonchalant".

 

Let’s get this clear lads, Bronco and I would like confirmation that the game is tomorrow and kick off at 1945?

 

A little harsh on Dave though ain't it sir?

 

Harsh??????

You didn’t see his post that referred to the Stevenage game being NEXT SATURDAY?

Oh yes he did, didn’t you Dave @Bronco !

 

Correct, can you wait.. ?

 

phew!

 

You guys know me too well I honestly had to check if it was an afternoon kick off or evening, looks like a good day for watching football City game 15:00 then Everton Vs Crystal Palace 18:00 finished off with Wolves Vs West Ham.

 

No need for the train here, just a walk up the road!

Real shame though (in a total first world way); blooming pandemic. Would have been great to see the match today.

 

Really looking forward to this, Mrs Meltham buggered off out so just watched the “we made history” DVD to get myself in the mood, trying to gauge when to get the first tin cracked open, Come on City!!
