Only for thoughts about Bradford City.

11.11.2025 19:22 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My biggest bug bear in football - the goalie going down "injured" so that a team can have a tactical discussion with the manager. Like a timeout in NFL.
11.11.2025 19:22 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Listening to Take Me Home. Can't always say I agree with Paul, but Mark Bower is excellent (and love Jamie Rayner - we are very lucky to have him as a local radio presenter). Perspective is the perfect word. It's fine to question and it's fine to criticise, but perspective is very important. #bcafc
10.11.2025 19:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I thought Humphrys looked better once we had Cooks and him together with Bobby behind. Everyone else seemingly using yesterday to show he should be played wide. He certainly never played on the left which people are asking for. Get someone closer to him is what I think he needs. #bcafc
09.11.2025 13:33 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0but do need to work on different options for this kind of opponent.
If we can ride this out without losing ground and then push on when we have gathered a bit of momentum. The strikers need something to fall their way and the goals will start to come again.
#bcafc
of the game in the first half, but much better in the second. Looked better with Metcalfe than Leigh.
Ultimately, a bad day at the office. Get the Donny game out of the way and then really have a look at how to counter this type of opposition with the weekend off.
Don't need knee jerk reactions
back. Alexander has often said, he likes to concentrate on us rather than the opposition, but there are some teams that you know what they are going to do. We looked better because Cook was trying to win flick-ons, or hold the ball up and that's when Humphrys improved. Thought Bobby was largely out
08.11.2025 19:24 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Poor first half. A bit better second, but got what we deserved. Their #8 picked up every second ball and killed us. Not sure what the thinking is with Power and Leigh (or whoever is CM) coming to get the ball from the goal kick - just seems to leave the other guy with three players when it comes
08.11.2025 19:24 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Feels like we need a big performance tomorrow. Burton will be stubborn and defend, but we can still go at them, just in a slightly different way than we did earlier in the season.
May be lots of surprises in the line up. Can't call who will play in any position. So I'll wait and see. #bcafc
Gutted for all those bantams who have bought tickets/hotels/transport and booked time off to go to Plymouth only for the game to be re-arranged. Not the club's fault, but supporters have come last again. Football league should be ashamed. #bcafc
06.11.2025 23:31 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Seen a lot of comments saying we were conned, also seen a lot of comments saying we should have won anyway and the goal shouldn't have prevented it. Both of these things are correct. What matters now is how this is addressed this week. Burton will play like this, so need to use it positively. #bcafc
01.11.2025 22:57 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That's a disappointment. Not that fussed about going out of the cup, but the worry is about finishing. GA sent off after the whistle wonder if that's more a message to his players that he gives a shit about every game and they should not get "well it was only a cup game" in their heads. #bcafc
01.11.2025 17:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I like that line up for the FA Cup. We've learned that players can move in and out of this side and be successful. Giving players minutes who need it, should keep players hungry - they'll want to play league games and GA has shown, if they do well, they'll be rewarded. Should be up for it. #bcafc
01.11.2025 14:06 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'll keep it short tonight. 1st half was the poorest half of football we've played all season. Everything a yard off. A bit better second half but don't know why Lincoln seemed happy with a draw when we were so far off. Kelly man of the match by a mile. Need players back fit to push on. #bcafc
28.10.2025 22:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Fingers crossed that the team news tonight makes healthier reading than it did on Saturday. When I look at the teams tonight, it will be more about who is actually available than selection. The only "unforced" change I would make would be McIntyre for Kelly. If others are back, I'd make more. #bcafc
28.10.2025 09:47 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0All in all, a good point. First points lost at Lamex for Stevenage so we'll take that positive. Injuries really are an issue now - hopefully all those unexpectedly out of the team today will be available on Tuesday. Another game we would have wilted in previously so onwards we go! #bcafc
25.10.2025 22:18 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Really not the line up I was expecting - didn't expect Kav, Wright AND Swan. Don't have much pace at the back with Kelly and Byrne - must be expecting some physical stuff.
If we've learned anything this year, it's that GA know who can do what so, I'm intrigued rather than worried. #bcafc
Choice is Leigh or Metcalf to go with Power.
I much prefer Metcalfe, but do worry that you are getting two players doing the same thing if he plays.
Glad Jake Young is out. Would not be happy about him scoring against us. It's going to be a battle. Sure we will be up for it. #bcafc
Enough to run at a defender. Against this type of team, I think that is a real benefit. Cook and Swan can probably not do all three of those things. Hope Pennington is back, he's such a massive upgrade on Byrne and that back three will look so much more assured with him there. The other interesting
25.10.2025 07:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Not let anyone down last week, but I like the pace and the ability to turn the defence around. Down the middle, all three options have their merits. I think I'd stick with Humphs. Physical enough to battle with a defender, quick enough to run behind a defence if they are playing high and skillful
25.10.2025 07:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Interesting game today. What happens when both teams want the other team to have the ball? That's when you get league 2 football! I'd like to think we have enough about us to play a bit anyway and get at Stevenage.
Not sure who to start today. I, personally would prefer Wright to Kavanagh. Kav did
Large parts of the game. One more thing - Jenson Metcalfe. I genuinely believe that, in time, he could become one of our best signings. Has all sorts of quality on the ball, excellent vision and likes a tackle. Only issue at the moment is that he and Power are too similar but he's a good one! #bcafc
18.10.2025 21:45 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Have a real go at winning it. Should have won, but relatively thankful for a draw in some ways.
Absolutely belting game of football with two of the best goals you'll see, though both very different! Power was excellent as were J.Wight and Tom McIntyre.
Once again, made a fancied team look poor for
Tough game to sum up - We should have been out of sight at half-time and still.manahed to have loads of chances to win it in the second, but there was a spell after half-time when I felt we went passive for the first time this year. The second equaliser was a mess. But we did then turn it around to
18.10.2025 21:45 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0as a sub if needed. Humphrys should have a role to play, but it might be off the bench too. Power and Patto in the middle for me. Leigh hasn't quite done it the last few games, but maybe the 'rest' will have done him good. Excited. This feels like a really big game that will tell us a lot. #bcafc
17.10.2025 20:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Feels like ages since we last played. Not sure what the fitness situation is with Penno and Bobby, but hope both are fit to play. Don't really want Byrne playing - he just feels behind the pace for this level. T. Wright can play on the left if Bobby can't go. Think Swan will start hope Cook is saved
17.10.2025 20:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Other than a horror injury for the young Everton player, that was a perfect night. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
A decent run out for lots of players, hopefully a bit of confidence built up and minutes in the legs.
Swan will start on Saturday, but there are options now. Big game! #bcafc
Tonight is a tricky one. One the one hand, there's been a bit of a lay-off and so getting some competitive minutes in is important for lots of players, on the other hand, Saturday is a huge game. Would give Humph a start. Definitely Power too. Rest is a coin flip. Go go in many directions. #bcafc
14.10.2025 17:16 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Another manager sacked in L1. A big one this time. A worry is if decent sized Championship team sacks their manager would they come in for GA? Would he go if they did? I think he has got himself so invested in #bcafc that I would hope not, but at the same time would you blame him?
