Bed wetters sharpening their knifes & polishing the fingers for a good keyboard bashing before that goal went in.

Good time to score…let’s hope we can toughen up in midfield & control the play

Hopefully after what happened to them at Swindon these will be a bit fragile. Go for the jugular lads!

Completely. Swindon showed they don't like it up 'em. Let's test that!

Araujo at left back is completely isolating Colclough. There’s no overlap, no through balls, no link up or anything.
Olakigbe looks ok (no better than that) because Mandeville is at least getting him into the game.

Those last 10 mins show that if we actually look interested and get at them, there’s every chance these will bottle it.

Reading with interest the comments. Stood in east stand concorse now contemplating that. First 35 mins we were battered. They are too physical, too quick and got to everything first. Poor old Metcalfe is on his own in the middle. Fleck and Naylor simply nowhere to be seen. Back four are facing wave after wave of attacks. Not helped by byth wide men not tracking back. Their 21 is grabbing the crap out of grigg, linesman ignoring it. Goal has made it interesting but make no mistake, these are a level above us.

It’s amazing how they lose their logins for a few weeks but magically find them as soon as we’re two down.

Donny Rovers, top - the mind boggles. I thought they were awful.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this ref either, I'm the first to criticise officiating in this country but he's got everything right. Stone wall penalty after pure idiocy from Naylor and he's letting the game be fast and physical, but blowing when he needs to.

Are you on the windup?

Well said, exactly how I see it. But I am hoping we can pull a rabbit out of the hat 2nd half when we bring super subs on.

[Rodders]

Would have Metcalfe back next season, turning into a great player.

Nail on the head, ref the midfield - zero tracking and cover. They already have numbers up in midfield.

[Rodders]

Bradford will be trying to slow down the game even more than they did first half, can't see the ref making them hurry it up

[Zigsuk]

Yes it was a dreadful performance for of the half - one of the worst for a long time against a good side, but some of the comments herre. Never a penalty when it was clear , Metcalfe and Oligibe poor when they have been our best two players.

[Misnomer]

The way they are set up is excellent, it means the pressure is always on and they have numbers up in midfield and the final third. If you don't have an outlet, they bury you.

Case in point....

Think we’ve answered that one…
