I noticed that hospitality for this match sold out some time ago (pre-Christmas, I think) and whilst no surprise, it is good to see that our visitors have now sold out the full away allocation. Should be a good 'un.

I believe hospitality for the rest of the season is mostly sold out.

Why would you do that? Just to prove someone wrong?

Having announced on its ticketing website yesterday that the game at Barrow is sold out, it now appears that some seats are now available for BCFC fans. Just to maintain the theme, it also looks like Barrow have had three cancellations in hospitality......I really must learn to keep up.

Good thing is that Bradford have to play their EFL Trophy semi final on Wednesday, hopefully some tired legs!

“Tired legs”, Nige they are full time professional footballers FFS, doing a job they love and a job many many young men would give their all to do.

+1 That excuse was offered by someone to explain the team's loss of form. They don't exactly work a massive number of hours each week do they?

Is it not time to go 4-4-2?
No matter how many times the lineup is shown as the above 3-5-2 it never is, it’s always 5-3-2…
Defence needs some protection & midfield needs some bulking up. I like Whitfield but i think that’s now been proved, at the moment at least, he’s much better impacting from the bench. Same with Foley. Thought he started against FGF on fire but his legs can’t last. He’s a risk as a starter for me.
I’ve been impressed with the linkup play between Spence & Stephenson when played together, you actually see the football on the ground. I’d either have him as the 4th man at the back or give him a shot in his apparent native midfield. In the middle along side Campbell, with Spence to his right, and either Newby or Whitfield on the left. Agree Telford needs a chance to work with Stockton. Question is who’s your 4th man at the back (if not Stephenson) and can any of the 3 centre half’s adapt.

However, to contradict my own point. The team away at Bradford were superb. Go with the same? Or have we decided everyone has worked us out… I’m not so sure either way.

I think others have sussed out that we are weak at the the back with our players just backing off instead of closing them down, so they continue to come at us in acres of space. That's the area that needs attention whether it be by coaching the existing incumbents, or tinkering with the defence.
