Official Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United

[Chris Powell's mate]

Why doesn't Emile ever jump for the ball.

Why doesn't Emile just go and get the beers?
He'd be far more popular.

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?

You’ve essentially answered your own question mate. Against Gills we were able to bring on someone of Humphrys quality, whereas tonight, the only strikers we had to call upon were Rush & Sterling.

The main differences between last season and this, is that we aren’t scoring goals, and neither does the ball stick up top. We’re still shipping them for fun though.

There's no excuse for the lack of effort in closing down and working hard off the ball. I'd also expect with the amount of tech the players wear in training and matches that it's something the backroom science guys should be easily picking up on - why that hasn't improved is a mystery. I think that was what Sol managed to do, improve the organisation and increase the intensity of pressing when we haven't got the ball.

At least Mansfield are still yet to get a win too! They've got shy of over a month to get one before we meet.

Mansfield have drawn 7 games?

Yeah, drawn 7 lost 4. God, I envy them.

 

[HUMBLEPIE]

I envy Scunthorpe they have 2 points more and 3 games in hand.

Difference is that they are relatively difficult to beat getting 7 draws, we are a bunch of wet farts who roll over like a dog begging for a treat.
