Bradford score Fred sponsored by back to back wins?

[Tomwh]

Another injury! Be a few threads on squad depth soon

[Spiritater]

Squad within 40 mins play looks threadbare.

[gazza1988]

Bradford player went down with a leg injury. Ref waited for a Bradford player to touch the ball and blew his whistle whistle.

Callum Johnson also down.

Bowery replaces Johnson.

We can make 2 subs at half time or none at all (unless there's a concussion)

[gazza1988]

I'd have brought on Harbottle and moved Hewitt to RWB.

[bellwhiff]

Tell me again how the squad is deep enough ? Tell me again that we strengthened in numbers ? We bought quality by the left foot we didn’t buy depth.

[Tomwh]

I'd have brought on Harbottle and moved Hewitt to RWB.

Insanity is repeating the same mistakes.

Players out of position, forever.

[gazza1988]

Perch fouls his man 25 yards out level with the right of our penalty area.

Ball is towards the back post and behind for a corner.

[diablo]

Defence still very suspect…too easily breached and Akins might just as well be sat with me

[gazza1988]

Hewitt charges forwards with the ball. Out to Bowery who puts in a good cross and keillor-dunn puts it wide under heavy pressure.

[gazza1988]

Kilgour clears to Akins, who is fouled but keeps hold of the ball and plays it inside to Quinn to break away but his touch is poor and loses possession.

[Tomwh]

Isn't rocket science. Having a 5 at the back your wing backs are so so important. Look at Chelsea with and without Chilwell and James.

Wallace and Bowery at wing back make us weak at the back and slow/ineffective going forward.

[gazza1988]

Bradford are attacking again. Get into our area and his shot is blocked just wide of the right post. Close.

Corner is easily caught by flinders.

[gazza1988]

Akins out to Hewitt. His cross from the right is headed at goal by keillor-dunn and their keeper pulls out a good save to tip it over the bar.

Maris takes it. It ends up back out to Maris. To Quinn whose cross is headed away. Ball out to our right and Hewitt seemed to win a throw but officials says its Bradford throw in.

[gazza1988]

6 mins added.

[gazza1988]

Bower gets the ball and comes forwards. In to Clarke but Clarke is dispossessed.

[gazza1988]

Good from keillor-dunn takes on one man and then another. But he loses possession a nd Bradford break and win a Throw in off bowery.

[gazza1988]

Clarke fouls his man just inside out half.

[gazza1988]

Keillor-dunn about had his head kicked off. Ref not interested.

Bradford put the ball out for throw in level with their penalty spot. Hewit long throw into the middle. A bit of head tennis and Bradford clear.

[gazza1988]

HT and the Stags trail 1-0

[Conker]

A truly dreadful first half, tactically wrong from the off with zero midfield and Bradford picking everything up.

Topping it off with three players off injured in the first 30. Hope Clough can pull something out the bag at half time.

[Cleveland_Stag]

Sub Swan on at half time and go to four at the back. It’s suicidal playing wing backs (the two most important players on the pitch to make the formation we’re playing work) with Wallace and Bowery.

Bradford look miles ahead of us. Just like they were when they beat us at our place. Confusing really considering they’re a point below us.

[BH_Stag]

So next week, no Macca, No Johnson? Whats the team and where is the depth?

Left with Perch and Wallace at the back with JJ as back up. That’s the reality we’ve been left with…. And it’s happened literally a few days after the window closing. All of a sudden letting Gordon go without a replacement doesn’t feel so clever

[Tomwh]

Clarke fouls his man just inside out half.

Been disappointed with Ollie Clarke. He gets about and breaks up play well when he's at his best, but if I'm honest I'm not sure we've seen much of it.

Bradford dominating the middle of the park, down to the manager and his tactics for me. Personnel available can't play this formation.

Over two years in, wonder percentage wise how much we've had 11 players on the pitch in their natural position under Clough.

[yorkshire stag]

never mind we can pick up free agents don’t forget

[victor A block]

Certainly unlucky with all these injuries but we are second to every ball . I’d go 4 at the back as relying on Bowery and Wallace as wing backs is suicidal. Very poor apart from DKD header .
