Match Thread Bradford City v Swindon Saturday December 14 @ 3.00pm

Swindon are higher up the current form table than we are. There is also not much use in parking the bus against us, if we see 4 shots in a game you can consider yourself lucky.

 

Looking at the fact that Bradford are the only senior side to lose at Morecambe this season in any competition suggest if Swindon are going to correct that away record, Valley Parade is a good place to start.

 

Decades of watching City suggest a 0-1 tomorrow !

 

Roll on kick off time.

If a match between 11th and 22nd in the arse end of league football doesn’t get the juices flowing then you shouldn’t be watching football.

 

Sadly first missed for a long time, driving to down to Essex, daughter’s birthday! Can’t record it either. I have us for a 3-0 win….lets see?

 

Apparently no injury worries ahead of today's game so if that's the case, I'd go with the same starting line up as Tuesday night bar the two Walkers coming in for Doyle and Pattison. Play well, keep the shirt. I know some will argue Halliday didn't play well on Tuesday but he's had a stop start season so far and has been asked to play out of position on a number of occasions. He was much better in the second half on Tuesday and given Benn's form has dropped off recently, I'd be sticking with him this afternoon.

 

Can’t agree re Halliday / Benn at all . Halliday’s confidence is shot at the moment . Benn will get the place. Otherwise yes same as , as you suggest . At best Halliday will be on the seats .

 

I've been looking forward to this since the fixtures came out

 

You’re only human.

 

After some serious attacks yesterday morning across Ukraine (some of the biggest attacks on infrastructure since the war began), everything is back to feeling normal today and a City league win would be nice…

I saw another poster talking about how suddenly they’re excited again for our games after recent performances where we’ve actually looked like a team and attacked sides and I feel the same.

The energy and excitement is back for today. How long it lasts, time will tell

 

Halliday is washed. I’d get rid at the end of the season

 

The biggest disappointment for me is no Pattison today.
Last weeks goal and the good chance he fluffed on Tuesday were a little glimpse of what we thought we were getting when he signed.

Whether you think it was right or wrong to send him off,his loss of control at Crewe will come back to bite him on the arse as he sits 3 games out.

We just don’t have anybody else who runs past the attackers like he did last week and Tuesday.

 

100%. He is our best midfielder and seems to make the players around him have a bit more of a buzz with energy to press. I’d like to see Pattison, Evans and Sarcevic as our midfield when all are fit

 

Callum Johnson set to feature this afternoon!
































In the Bantams Clubhouse with Billy Bantam.

 

Byrne is suspended I think so more like huntington at centre half , with swindon having harry smith up front it would make sense

 

Looking forward to this afternoon
Lunch in spoons
Walk round city centre
Up to corn Dolly for some real ale
Then spoil it by going to vp !

 

Huntington's a better player anyway, I'd pick him even if Byrne wasn't suspended.
