It’s a shame Frankie’s not playing but Billy likes playing these guys

Hasn't Frankie been playing with a tight hamstring? He looked out on his feet on Tuesday too. Will be a big miss today.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: RobTheRover on January 31, 2026, 11:59:20 am
Senior has been saying well too, so he's a miss.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Petche on January 31, 2026, 12:07:49 pm
We will miss Bailey in midfield imo, less likely to see as many of his late runs into the box. What I don't get is why Pearson doesn't replace Byrne, they appear to be very similar players?

Bolton have scraped a couple of last minute 1-0 wins hopefully they will hammer wimbledon (4-0 in my dreams) before that match at PV & the trap door opens for them

Shocker of a decision when Sharp was in there. No clear contact.

Rovers beginning to get the shots in. Having soaked up a bit of pressure.

Abysmal defending but a blatant handball!

Extremely lucky McGrath hasn’t cost us another goal there, not good enough

Bradford commentators saying the 4th official shouldn't be able to disallow the goal because the referee was closer. Hilarious to listen to them melt down over it
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Cramby10 on January 31, 2026, 12:45:24 pm
Who do we think (rightly) disallowed that then?

It’s funny. I’ve really grown to dislike Bradford the last few seasons. Fans are w**kers and a team of moaners. This is getting tasty.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: ChrisBx on January 31, 2026, 12:54:55 pm
We're not doing well at preventing crosses coming into our box, something McCann has repeatedly spoken about.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on January 31, 2026, 12:58:57 pm
Somebody needs to remind Adelukan that he has a long throw in his tool box - perhaps he needs to SHARPen it

It is becoming a bit messy, a midfield battle.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Copps is Magic on January 31, 2026, 01:05:21 pm
Got to take Maxwell off, or change it tactically! We are getting battered on our left. How does McCann not see this.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Peebles Rover on January 31, 2026, 01:05:43 pm
We need to get into this or they are going to get one

2 mins extra, good time to score!
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Copps is Magic on January 31, 2026, 01:17:25 pm
Pitch towards the away end is terrible, I'd be peppering in shots left right and centre in the 2nd half.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: DearneValleyRover on January 31, 2026, 01:21:41 pm
McGrath showing he needs someone who talks alongside him, Clark can’t catch a ball, Mols not in the game and Haks could have done better a couple of times if I’m going to be over critical. Not going to have a go at Maxwell as he isn’t getting any help.

Clarke can't catch a ball???? Hes commanded his box for almost every cross. And dropped only once
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: ChrisBx on January 31, 2026, 01:24:28 pm
I'd be considering Pearson for Broadbent to get Bailey into the midfield.

Need to get the wingers more involved. This game is very winnable. Gibson to come on and score the winner…

Definite handball, rightfully given albeit far too late.

Gibson would definitely enjoy this game.

Looking a bit dis jointed at times on what is a cabbage patch of a pitch.

He’s dropped it more than once, it’s just bounced at his feet and back in his hands, he looks to punch but doesn’t get much power on it either.

Senior has been saying well too, so he's a miss.

Post by: ForsolongaRover on January 31, 2026, 01:31:11 pm
Extremely lucky McGrath hasn’t cost us another goal there, not good enough

Yet it was McGrath who was in the challenge which deprived the Bradford GK of the ball enabling Sharp to get a shot at the open goal! His contributions in attack are not insignificant.

We're not doing well at preventing crosses coming into our box, something McCann has repeatedly spoken about.

We've stopped 1 ball comng into the box all half. They're crossing at will.

Never thought I’d say it but Haks needs to come off for Gibson

It took a well taken goal to beat us today, Gibson didn’t give us anything more when he came on. There again I don’t think any of the subs helped matters. Unbeaten run this year now over.

He never seems quite committed to the task or be prepared to push himself a little harder, arriving just too late - it seems like every time.
Title: Re: Bradford V TLOD
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on January 31, 2026, 02:43:23 pm
we can all score a goal like he did once in our lives - he just did it when he was social distancing - (unmarked)

they are wasting their time thinking they can win the play offs  -the other teams including Huddies are much better - the question is will Luton catch them ?

I am sure Adelukan suffers from depression he could easily have scored 2 today and when he failed to control the ball (and kicked it out from our throw in) you knew it wasn't his day.

He was the one with headphones on when he entered the ground
