We need to build a side around these two next season and hope neither gets injured. Be nice if we could add Metcalfe and Sparkes and even Markanday too but wouldn’t bank on any of them. As for the rest, particularly the over thirty brigade I don’t know. Grigg, Naylor and Banks might do a job (the latter more as a squad player), but we need more youth and energy.
And the defence still desperately needs sorting out.

Hope I’m wrong but I sense fun and games on Monday as like Hull (who we haven’t played that frequently) Bradford often seem to cause trouble. Remember the big punch up with stewards at the front of the north stand. Was that the last time they came in the league?
.Also going back many years - must have been between 70.- 72 as my dad stopped going in 70 and I was standing with a mate on the kop, we were about 12 or 13 and were surprised to see loads of Bradford fans on the kop. Suddenly even more town fans appeared and chased them right round to Cross Street, some of them brandishing Bradford scarves like captured flags as they returne.I thought the barriers on Compton Street were there by the early 70’s but at that game you could freely move around all three terraces. I was disturbed to see a Bradford lad actually with his parents standing near me crying and holding his neck, obviously hurt in the melee.
I expect they could have sold more than three times their allocation as not only are they riding high but are far and away the best supported club in the division. Wonder if many will come without tickets?

Another thread to delight my fans.

Even in my gambling hey day - thankfully now over - I never bet on correct scores as they were just too unpredictable. Must be the most difficult bet of all to call correctly. I did frequently bet on goals over such as 3 or more but never correct scores. In the same way I never did the lottery (apart from work syndicates) as I thought the odds of winning anything were ridiculously poor.
When I see the correct score thread before a game I never contribute and think why bother and wonder how many people get it right. I suppose 2-1 is the best chance.
Has anyone had decent gambling wins from correct score betting?

Time for another thread for my fans such as Half Nelson and Dugglie Jardlie who much as they profess to hate them can’t resist reading them.

It seems we aren’t the only club who have fans who go into meltdown after any defeat. Apparently some of the Blunts fans after the defeat at Oxford behaved disgracefully towards the players driving Wilder wild, and this after the excellent season they’ve had.
It seems somewhat bizarre being a football supporter and expecting your team to never lose a game.
I know some will say that yes but it’s the manner of the defeat, but again every team will have stinkers even during a successful season. Apparently Liverpool who are going to romp to the title have been subpar for several games now.

It could be argued that yesterday’s squad apart from the defence was the strongest we have as the injuries to the creative players are over, although obviously key defenders still missing. Despite this we were thraped which is worrying.
The little room for manoeuvre with the defence is obviously a major factor. It could also be argued that the likes of Grigg and Fleck are still feeling their way back and the injuries throughout the season have been a massive disruption from which we are still feeling the effects.

However there is also the nagging feeling that even with our best players all fit and firing we still won’t be good enough.
Grigg, Madden, Naylor, Fleck, Grimes and Banks, even if they stay fit are not going to get any better, whilst we seem to have seen the best of Colclough, although hopefully he can get his mojo back. Perhaps most worrying Dobra, excellent player that he can be, is still inconsistent and sometimes anonymous as he was yesterday.
