Match Thread Carabao Cup 2nd round Away v Stoke City Tuesday 26th August @ 19.45

Jamie Vardy was 25 when he made his FL debut.

I suspect you're right re Wilson but I suppose you just never know.

 

Watch Baldwin at 7.09 stopping their player. Surely that is common assault?

 

Lol it wasn't pretty, but how good was that long low ball he pinged to Touray in the first minutes.

 

So would you have Wright Baldwin and Tilt as our "go to" back 3? All seem to have different abilities and complement each other?

 

That's a tricky one. Wright is the one stand out choice. No doubt Baldwin can play a bit, but Pennington has been solid too. Tilt has been great but I think he seems to get caught out a bit more when he plays on the left. Heck I have the same issues all over the pitch. We seem to have so many good options at the moment.

Go on then, let's go with Baldwin, Wright, Tilt

 

Yeah Pennington has been so solid. Like you say what a conundrum we have all across the pitch. Happy days.

 

Wow Grimsby!!

 

They looked a bang average league 2 team to me.

 

Tilt, Wright and Pennington for me. Baldwin always has a brain fart in him for me. And please, let's not play him as a DM again.

 

What kind of message do the players get with him shivering with fear hiding in the dug out? Absolutely disgraceful!

 

And I ask a big question. Why do you think he might be tentative and lacking confidence? It takes a lot of arrogance or supreme skill to succeed as a skillful player at Bradford because instead of helping players through confidence crisis's we double down on them and scapegoat them. Players read social media

 

I am sure we are no different to any clubs' supporters and are perfectly entitled to criticise, or praise, a players performance as we seem fit, so long as it doesn't descend into abuse. Unfortunately for a professional footballer that comes with the job.

 

Give over.

 

He is tentative and lacking confidence because he has been pretty shite for the best part of a year. He is currently Bobbys understudy.

 

Wright is another Scapegoat since being switched back to his natural position has let nobody down and is ideal in playing the high press

 

Is he?
Seems to have played much better back in thr more advanced role.
