Match Thread Bradford City V Rochdale Tuesday 10 January 2023 @ 7.45

Very good goal.

Looking at the state of the pitch I'm amazed the game went ahead.

 

Could have been a penalty for them. Lewis didn't touch the ball but got the man

 

Chapman has gone backwards

 

City players being far to sloppy for me. Just make it hard for themselves.

 

He’s had a chest infection

 

Looked to me like Harry got took out

 

Standard shite.
Not sure what your expectations are Trevor, they'll never get any better in the khazi league

 

Can't disagree with that either

 

Im sorry but I have a serious downer on Foulds tonight.

 

Honestly we need the lad from Hudders…..sigh!

 

I thought the player jumped into him. Only ifollow though.

 

The pitch suiting Rochdale more than us and ruining the pitch as well.. Could be an expensive 3 points if we go on to win

 

I have some sympathy. The pitch is heavy on his side. It's not easy to get your feet organised and cross. Then he looks up and there's only Oliver in the box so he reconsiders. I know we're winning but I'd be getting Cook on and just chucking the crosses in. We could get another 2 or 3 if we put pressure on them.

 

The conditions are shocking we ain't going to play too much football tonight, happy with our noses in front.

 

I think that's really unfair. That side of the pitch, particularly at the Bradford end is really heavy. The balls not rolling or bouncing. No quailty crosses have come in from that side.

Equally nothing has come from down Rochdales right. I think Foulds is perfectly fine.

 

I can see Hughes making changes after 60 or so minutes, although I'd swap Chapman for Walker at half time.

 

Terrible conditions for both sides.
What it takes out of the players physically could well have a bearing on how we perform on Saturday.
The pitch looks to be making things leggy and energy sapping.

 

Chapman is really frustrating. Wins quite a bit of possession, but gives it away more often than not.

If Walkers fit enough he starts over Chapman every time.

 

Another rugby convertion by Chapman

 

Think Chapman needs a rest. It just isn’t happening.
