No idea what is happening here. McGrath right back?
TLT
Pearson
McGrath
O'Riordan
Maxwell
Broadbent
Clifton
Bailey
Gibson
Sharp
Molyneux
-
Back 5 with Bailey and Maxwell running forward into midfield.
Bailey at RB.
Can’t see left footed McGrath at RB.
-
That's a very thin central midfield if so.
-
Pearson can’t play RB surely. Has to be C’OR surely. Or a shape change.

Not really with flexible movement. Bailey and Maxwell pushing into Clifton, George, Gibbo and Mols.
-
Nixon and Sterry not on bench so this looks like necessity not choice.

Mols would play RWB surely. Gibson playing off Sharp.

I’m going with that.
-
Clifton played right back at Grimsby but Moly did it last season for us.
-
I think we're trying to match them like we did at their place last season. Maybe Molyneaux RWB? Maxwell LWB. Gibson in the position Hurst played.
-
If Bailey is playing right back then we are effectively giving away midfield.
Surely 5-3-2, with Bailey, Broadbent and Clifton in midfield. Molyneux right wing back, Maxwell left wing back. Gibson playing as 10 behind Sharp.
-
4-2-3-1 With O’Riordan right back is what I’m hearing. Nixon is injured with Sterry not back to game fitness yet.
-
Joe Wright starts for them. Brad Halliday on bench. Cook not in squad.
-
Pearson can play right back and has done previously for Huddersfield, but not sure I'd be too confident with him there. Unless he's being used to counter their physicality and aerial threat rather than being a more offensive full back
-
COR has played RB before for Crewe.
-
Probably back 3 with Moly wing back but if the game is going out way COR is good enough to just play right back. It’s good to match up sometimes but if we can be more flexible we can get an edge you’d hope
-
Bradford are looking like a packed midfield and defence, maybe they are worried and hoping for a 0-0?

O’Riordan right back and didn’t give their lad a sniff all game. Outstanding.
-
The lad is versatile, best defender we have, i don't believe he's put t foot wrong all season.
Joe who?
-
We should just trust McCann.
He always seems to get it right.
-
Today was a tactical masterstroke. We defended the box the best I've seen us do all season. Limited the chances to the bare minimum and headed and kicked everything out.
-
TLT had no shots to save.
I include the goal they scored as it was a cross that he fluffed, not a shot.
