Official Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United

“When we I see you (win) again

 

[Rob1920]

So for anyone actually watching, and not forgetting we were already 3-0 down, the stats suggest we’ve at least played better second half. Is that how it looks? Just looking for any crumb of positivity available..

Well we drew the second half and didn't concede

I hate to be positive here but this 2nd half has been a lot better.

Mainly because Bradford haven’t needed to do anything being gifted the win in the first half.

We’re in a mini league with Stevenage, Mansfield and Scunthorpe. Forget the rest, we are already adrift. Bradford, Grimsby and Tranmere are pulling away. All won tonight. All we need is, um...9 new players?? Best of luck with that, MM. I honestly cannot see where a win is coming from. This is bad.

Doesn't matter when three down at half-time. Presumably Bradford eased up.

Helps when the other team have stepped back as 3-0 up

Why waste energy when you’re 3-0 up against the worst team ever in the league particularly with 2 games a week, week in week out.

No, not in my opinion, I think Bradford haven’t had the quality to punish us further or bother to. They’ll come back down with a bump as will the other poor teams who get false hope from beating us.

I bet Scunthorpe were sure they would be bottom now having had the last three games postponed. But we knew they wouldn't be.

Lets try to help players by sending them our support and telling them we still believe

Yep that will do it, how about letter bombs :)

 

[LBBlue]

According to the BBC stats Bradford only conceded 2 fouls all night - didn’t even have to foul us to stop us.

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Against Gills we had Humphrys, Green & Kelman playing up top.

We are in desperate need of someone in that final third that can do a job & take pressure off off the midfield.

It won’t solve all our problems of course, but it’s a good starting point.

Humphrys didn't come on until the 70th minute and since then, we have signed Taylor, Sterling, AG and Olayinka; so why are we getting worse?

Yep MM is a gem.

And they picked up a couple of injuries

Exactly, Bradford didn’t have to do anything. I would like to thank them for deciding not to humiliate us.

We are going to break so many records this season. It will be like the negative version of the 81 season.

I will second that, we know we're ****e, thank you.

It’s about time Acquah started to put himself about and scare a few centre backs, come on step up

There's more chance Trump will join a hippy commune!

 

[Maroon Blue]

We were promised that there would be an improvement in 2nd half performances over recent games. We got what they promised, but forgot about the 1st half.

Bradford did not need to get out of first gear. They have had a good rest for the cup

 

[SUBBlue]

I support the club and town irrespective of the shower that represents it

This team is following the town in falling into ruin & being full of undesirables that no-one else wants..
