Bradford after game thoughts.

[MillerBill]

I was rather hoping that you’d hang on to that lead last night especially after scoring two really well worked goals but in fairness Bradford always looked likely to score and probably should have done earlier. Glad to see Etete’s as useless for you as he was with us and what a difference when Sherif came on. When Nombe’s back you’ll have a good duo there but defensively you always looked vulnerable, as it sadly proved when Bradford brought on some physicality and experience. Never mind a points not bad but 3 would have been better. On the positive side that Martha looks a prospect and I’d still have Joe Powell at the Reebok tomorrow for his crosses and set pieces.

Their best chances were created by our poor central defending and the goals they scored were really bad defensive errors but you are right they had a few one on ones which they could have scored from.Having said that I am more optimistic about us going up the table.NB.I think Bolton will be up there pushing for promotion,hopefully with Nombe,Holmes and Kaleta coming back we can start moving up as well.

There was plenty to like about the performance. We ran harder than them, the passing game as good, Martha looked dangerous and Powell was very good on the ball.
Lenny and Baptiste were caught out by high balls by letting them bounce and not attacking the ball with any steel.
Baptiste looked like he closed his eyes for the first goal while the striker chested it in and the second should have been whacked into the car park.
I quite like what players like Tiehi offer us in terms of protection and the option to play the easy ball to. We are missing that type of player.
Gore isn?t disciplined to do it, Benson is too fragile. McWilliams maybe?

I would really like to see us start playing with more width as well.

But the priority for now is to stop conceding.

That's what I've said no width on the right last night. Sideways cut inside players aren't wide players. Still like to see McGuckin right sided forward. Douglas at centre back. Spence for Gore in midfield

So you want to replace one of two really inexperienced centre backs with one with even less experience? I wonder why Hamshaw hasn't thought of that.

As for the McGuckin thing, can we all just assume you want to try him on the right until you say otherwise? That way you don't have to keep typing it out several times a day and we don't have to be bored of reading it.

J Holmes I don't rate. Repeating myself in the long run especially in away games won't work with playing a left sided player Martha on the right didn't with Wilkes until we played him as a forward.

Douglas play him Tuesday in the Vertu cup at centre back see what we've got. McGuckin should also get a start then.

Hopefully you'll let it go then.

Done that. Won't progress him. Can still play in the Vertu cup.

Maybe it's because there's nothing there to progress. If he can't do it in the National League after numerous attempts he's hardly likely to shine in League 1.

Was last loan at Yeovil got young player of the season there.

Bloody hell RU66 this is ridiculous. We saw last night how we can be very good going forward and the lads ran their blood to water. Nombe back soon too which is a trillion miles more exciting prospect than your McGuckin addiction. Martha was fantastic so stop the BS. Defensively we we shambolic at times but that Agbaire performance was the polar opposite of his debut performance. The line was too high and both CB's struggled with it. It'll be rectified in training and next time it'll be planted in row z plus Thomas Holmes will martial that back line pretty soon. They had also won 7 of their 10 games too so we weren't up against the Dog & Duck. There is no place in this squad for McGuckin or Jack Holmes whatsoever. They are not good enough for us or this league. Support what we have and what we can be with a fair wind instead of this constant wind up because that is what it surely is.

I am the only one on here who thinks we haven't got a wide right player? Martha isn't. Kaleta same. McGuckin not saying he is but won't know unless he gets a chance there.
