Match Thread Bury FC v Bradford City AFC Saturday 8 July 2023 3pm

Some run that was!

 

Yes I couldn’t include them all, but yes Bobby looked a right prospect.

 

2nd half slightly but no chance could anyone say that for the first half.

 

Bet Bury don't think todays game was meaningless. Todays game has brought them some much needed revenue and what a cracking show of support from City fans. You should be applauding them for the effort they made today.

 

Gilliead was unable to impose himself on a team 4 leagues below us, waste of 2 years wages IMO.
Halliday will be a defensive liability IMO.

 

But where?

 

I’d agree. Off pace and tried the trickery ahead of the basics!

 

Except when he was blowing his guts up just before HT Aide?

 

Yes great prospects. Pointons run off the ball, on the ball and a cross into space was excellent Tony.

 

That's a tad harsh for the first pre season game IMO as there were quite a few below par performances today from City players. Walker was excellent as well as Pattison so quite a bit to be happy about I think for our midfield

 

It was a good first run out but some of the problems from last season are still there.
Halliday and Ridehalge simply don’t put a quality ball in even when not under any pressure.
Obviously it’s early days but I thought Ash Taylor was slow and clumsy.

 

What

 

Taylor’s distribution was a lot better than I expected for a centre half

 

I'll be here, ready to go!

 

We’re you watching the same game Loyal. He got caught once when clipped from behind and don’t recall him doing a lot wrong tbh. He had a better game than Stubbs did the 2nd half.

 

Oyegoke a big bugger. Played CB.

 

Just my perception I guess after watching Crichlow last season, he just seemed slow with a turning circle like the titanic.
He’ll struggle against better and faster players.

 

As you say the 2 players mentioned were excellent and it was there pre season also.
All last season AG was ineffective, pre season or not he's not improved.

 

Which part can you not comprehend ?

 

Halliday is definitely NOT a liability
