Official Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United

[Austin the Shrimper]

I can see him walking , he seems an honest guy and can’t see him trying to talk Ron round , he’s out of his depth and may do the honorable thing

I was thinking the same thing actually. Might put his hands up and say, sorry I’m not up to it.

 

[hlane17]

No but whisky has a similar effect

I've just recommended the same mate ?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

3-0 HT

 

[Shrimper]

Can we just play the u18s next week

 

[Cricko]

Just got to stick to the game plan and hope we keep the good run going in the second half...

Shoot me now.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

0.18 points per game so far this season and we probably need 1.2 points per game to stay up.
Soon we will need play off form to achieve that!

I just can’t see it. Think he will stick it out until Ron sacks him.

 

[overseas shrimper]

I use to get really ****ed off when we conceded a goal, but now I just shrug.

 

[Shrimper Brownie]

Nice shot from Acquah there hahahahahahaha wow

Good dummy

 

[Maroon Blue]

Embarrassing, I can accept losing, but we cannot even be bothered to compete. Get Acquah off and let Sterling have a go at doing nothing.

You could ask one of the players to shoot you but they would miss from point blank range!

Tactically it’s shocking- the dreaded 343 strangled us at birth and then we went to our second least effective formation of 433 just to put the icing on the cake.

Front three a taxi ride apart (again), huge gaps as we are outnumbered in midfield (again). We need 442 or 352 (still). At a loss to explain it- I can only think he is picking a formation to try and get certain players on the pitch...

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Is it Stuart Smith again tonight? Cos whoever it is is really getting on my tits.

Given up listening to games. Does he still get really excited when the other team scores?

The U18s will thrash us. Is there a team of cubs we can play? Maybe we could scrape a draw against them.

i predicted 15 games without win would result in the sack. Is tonight 14?

They'd beat the first team

 

[Jcd]

Players just look so gutless. Every corner/free kick there’s not a word said between oxley and the lads in the box, just looking around at each other.

Hobson with the ball for about 30 seconds, looking at options then just booting it 40 yards out of play.
We all know our hands have been somewhat tied with the players we have but FFS at least show some passion and desire to be out there.

I was about to say it’s the worst I’ve felt about blues for a long time but I have genuinely said that at least 3 times already this year so no doubt it can get worse.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

He is always a liability in my opinion. We need the senior players to set an example. He certainly doesn't do this by this type of behaviour match in match out.

Another rash tackle that brought about a free kick in a dangerous position an expected yellow card and the 3rd goal... As I said a liability!

 

[NZamba Legend]

How low down the pyrsmid would we have to go to be competitive? Who was the non league local team that dicked us in preseason? Brushed that under the carpet but it was actually the best measure of where we were as a team.

 

[south247]

Acquah complete air shot from about 2 yards out in a goalmouth scramble. Unbelievable.

Have my wife watching with me tonight. The look I am getting is absolute pity. She has noticed our main striker and commented she could do a better job - even with her puffer
