hate to think this but we're running out of time as regards signing someone and we've just let a striker go so I guess Jolley is happy with what we've got !

If we set up for a draw will be frustrating. He needs to back his own players and go for the win on Tuesday. We need 3 points on Tue and 1 would be OK but wouldn't do much for us except move us one game closer to end of season + staying up on the basis of 2 teams are worse than us.

We definitely need to stop this sloppy defending,get a striker to help Quigley up front and learn how to get on the end of crosses. The number of crosses that went in the box and they was nobody there is something that definitely needs addressing.I thought overall they didn't play too badly but fell down in the final third. :scarf:

Thought we deserved something today yet it’s another in which we've come off second best by the odd goal. We have got to flip these close games in our favour.

remain positive that we have the players to get the results we need.

Adam and "Skip" both chose Josh Kay, although they did slam him for his temper.

Did Jamie Devitt get on?

Given all the hype about him I was surprised he didn't start.

Bradford are on a great run. We’ll probably lose again Tuesday night
We’ll still stay up

Simple question from a simpleton who watched the match: How many shots did the Bradford keeper have to deal with?

What a shame all the money the club has spent on managers and players and new facilities; so down about it all; feeling we could go down and nobody has actually really smashed us; I bet the owners are gutted.

All football experts, Bradford have not been beaten in 7 games, we played ok and should have got something out of it, we have the makings of a decent team but not according to the doom and gloom merchants.

If you think this is good commentary....they’re talking about someone’s [SwearFilter] hair now. Worst commentary team I’ve heard this season.

Shocking defending once again for their second. Three Barrow players in front of their lad who still managed to thread a pass through them.

Not sure where I said they were good.......???
My apologies, you never. But surely commentary (wherever it’s coming from) should have a bit of balance but them two were atrocious. If Adam and Goody were that bad I’d do the same as what I did today and mute them, thankfully they aren’t anywhere near that bad.
Doesn’t seem to matter who the manager is, who the players are we just continue making stupid defensive mistakes, we can’t hope to win (or even draw) games if we keep doing this. Both them goals were very avoidable.
On the plus side, there were some signs of improvement - so hopefully that will continue as they get to know each other’s games better.
Still hoping MJ has a striker lined up, if Quigs loses form or gets injured we will well and truly be goosed.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

that's what people kept saying early on in the season as Ian said if we keep conceding silly goals we'll go down but to put 2 new players in a back 5 is taking a chance like to hear jolley's views on this !

Yay! Some sense!

This forum is ridiculous.
