Official Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United

[LBBlue]

My Whiteomania was caused entirely by BBC Essex telling me White had scored the first goal. Does this mean I must never trust the BBC again? This is so bad.

The Club site has Kightly as scorer as well -but the photo on the Club Twitter feed shows White heading it in.

I'd go with Nick and Chris over the BBC website. Nick had no doubt JW scored. I thought Kightly crossed the ball in, so the only thing is whether JW touched it or whether it went straight in, I guess.

Based on what I’ve seen since SCP has come in we have to be up there next season.

Roll on next season

In Powell we trust !!

Looks like we will finish 9th if we win next Saturday, as Peterborough are playing Portsmouth. :thumbsup:

Win next week and we finish 9th. Hope all those who kept abusing us fans who were calling for Browns head are proud of themselves.

In the post match interview on BBC Essex, SCP was talking about White's goal. So must have been him.

Just noticed the crowd was nearly 20k today. That is massive for a L1 game where neither side has a lot to play for. Obviously Bradford have a big fan base but none the less, impressive.

Someone needs to get the Sky highlights up pretty damn quickly, this could become a serious incident otherwise. John White looks nothing like Michael Kightly, has there been a transplant!

Where have I heard that before? :smile:

Phil Brown points per game this season 1.1
Chris Powell points per game 1.8
Browns point tally around 51 pts for season
Powell's around 80 for the season
Very interesting summer coming up that's for sure. Looking forward to next season immensely

Raincheck that. It'll be 10th if Bradford win their remaining two games.

Any idea how many Blues fans were there today ?

I'll be surprised if they win at Scunthorpe.

True, but I was surprised we won at Bradford.

BBC still credits Kightly and then says White in the report! :facepalm: :-

So does the OS. :facepalm:

Blues took the lead from the following corner through John White, as Bradford failed to clear their lines, and Michael Kightly swung an inviting cross into the penalty area, which White bulleted into the bottom right-hand corner to give Colin Doyle no chance in the Bantams goal.

Not necessarily as they count season ticket sales regardless and Bradford's are very cheap so sold in excess of 15,000 I think.
