Lets talk about the Bradford City cup game and the Lincoln City league game

[ScillyRover]

3-1 Gibbo slaughters the Chickens!

[adamtherover]

3 1

[Alan Southstand]

First teamers on makes a significant difference?

[Branton Red]

Top of the league.

[dknward2]

Keep Ajay away from this team and we are fine think the young lads from our academy have done fine

[sedwardsdrfc]

In fairness to Hanlsn he’s probably played more games at L1 than most our team combined (bar Pearson and Billy). So he can’t be just totally useless.

Personally think he’s not a lone centre forward so he’s not been signed for the right role. Not saying he’s a 20 goal striker but he must be useful!

[roversdaft]

If McCann starts with a 4-2-3-1 against Lincoln after seeing a 4-4-2 work much better I will be berating him at Lincoln!!

We're not playing a 442 though?

[andysly]

Hanlan has fluffed a couple of chances but good finish for his goal. His hold up stuff has been excellent.

[Bentley Bullet]

3-1?

Bloody 'ell I'm getting a nose bleed!

[adamtherover]

Wtf

[adamtherover]

Jeez, 4th disallowed

[andysly]

That’s ok I’m on at 18/1 for 3-1

Kyle Hurst would have given us more than Ajayi has.

I think it’s clear he’s now done.

Another 4th choice loan winger that hasn’t worked out, that’s the third season running.

[Scooter]

I take it all back. Hanlan for England

[adamtherover]

Ft

[monkeytennis]

I’d have bet just about anything against that result! Well done boys.

[Alan Southstand]

Board goes up for 4 mins and it’s 90+6 on BBC?

[jmt23]

What a difference a couple of better quality players makes to a game…

A much better half, and a Hanlan goal - I was fearing the worst when he missed the easy chance, as he’s played pretty well.

Will Flint was outstanding tonight, and against an old warrior, his composure on the ball in the second half was excellent.

[Branton Red]

Never in any doubt.

An easy victory.

[bpoolrover]

What a good second half that was, think gm must have bollocked them at half time

[Alan Southstand]

In other news, Lincoln have beat Barnsley 2-0.

[steve@dcfd]

Hanlan better second half keep on improving
Gotts better second half playing forward not a Clifton
Flint good and the defence was the best part of the first half and did their job second half
Subs made the difference we looked better and scored three goals well done

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Hanlan is playing better as he has better players around him… same with Gotts and Close who were poor in the first half.   

Definitely is, he's had a great second half.  He's obviously got something about him, whether he can make himself the main man I'm not sure but he's done himself no harm at all.

Have you forgot about that first half already, bfyp?

It's a team game, looked decent with players around him.

We've learnt again tonight some players aren't showing they are good enough (Ajayi and young Brown looked out of it).  Middleton seems very inconsistent also.  There is no doubt that our best two wide players are Gibson and Molyneux.

I wonder if Hanlan would be a good shout out wide? He's clearly technically good just not sure he's all that effective in the box.

[Avsuptem]

I am glad our Grant read my earlier post at half time. This turnaround kind of silences those who think.he does not know who his best team is.

[goalkick]

Well done lads good second half. McGrath seems to get worse.

[Filo]

GM has surely learned a lot about some of those fringe players tonight. How has Ajayi got a Europa League winners medal

[Petche]

What was the reason for Sterry going off? Reoccurence of injury or just not up to 90 minutes?

[Bessie Red]

Would imagine it was a planned change as he hasnt played in a while.

[steve@dcfd]

Learning from tonight
Ajayi could go back to Spurs now
SB not ready
Gotts better forward but not a Clifton
Close slow better when Broadbent came on
Middleton worst half for him this season
Hanlan better second half after the subs entered the field.
Sterry got 45 mins
Nixon looked good when he came on.
Flint very good 90 mins
McGrath tapered off near the end but had a good game
Senior again steady and defended well.
Molyneux Broadbent and Gibson changed the game.


We will have to be ready for Lincoln who beat a strong Barnsley side tonight
