Bradford v Argyle. Match day thread.

[Devongreenowl]

Very poor first goal and then conceding right on half time a crippler. Sawyers sending off looked harsh given the conditions. Sarce was further away but looked s a second yellow. The boys gave it a good go second half and even after going down to 9. Bradford supporters getting frustrated with their team.
Those saying that’s the end of auto promotion hopes are a joke. Next couple of games very important and we need six points.

W A A A W

The referee was abysmal, a real homer. Took everything they gave him.

Wooton went missing for the first and the biggest cheat scored a worldy.

Perhaps you're wobbling.

This!

 

[WoodsyGreen]

Stop blaming the referee and give your heads a wobble. Some of you are sounding so lemon it’s embarrassing.

I'm gonna have to run that one through Google Translate.

How can it be play offs at best with 10 games to go,some of our supporters that post here are really clueless how the league table works.

Three points for a win and a point if you draw,but let’s just say play offs at best

All to play for still for level headed supporters.

:clap:
Unbelievable isn't it? Knee jerk nonsense from certain people who should be 'old enough' (see what I did there? :wink to know better. We're a very decent L2 team trying to play good football but we're not friggin' Liverpool. We'll have bad days, especially away on poo pitches with poo refs. Get over it and get behind the club. If you want guarantees go to Anfield.

EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR!!!

The midweek games coming up will show what we need and how close the teams end up points wise looking toward the future.

The playoff hopefuls of the table are slowly catching us up, to add more to the mix.

Away support great today as always. Probably not far off 1000 for a trip where there could have been a late postponement. Not many MOANERS in Bradford today.

35 games in and the defence make similar mistakes all season. So with 11 games to go that won't change.

Lowe has to find a way scoring more than we concede in these finally 11 games.

The performances in January weren't convincing, but we won. Personally what we are seeing last few games is same level of performance but without the good fortune eg Crewe open goal miss. Isn't a surprise the results in all honesty.

Got to stick by the manager and the team and hopefully he finds a formula to carry us over the line.

My hope in that Aimson could add more defensive stability. And he gets G Cooper in the side with Mayor but not at Wing back.

think the 3 nil win away at Carlisle was pretty convincing,though we have also been lucky..teams that get promoted are lucky!

 

[IJN]

In my opinion the Carlisle game was the last dominant game we've played.

We now have two home games and two away games that we should win. We are only two points away from third, despite today's disaster it's not over by a long way.

Ah, 4 straight wins from games “... that we should win.”

You make it sound so simple.

Just like the games we should have won against Macclesfield and at home to Cambridge, not to mention away to a Bradford side who’s only win in the previous 11 games was against relegation-certainties Stevenage.

It’s not over by a long way as you say, but when you can barely create a chance or get a shot on goal, you are not going to win against anyone. We are even less likely to win if we continue to concede basic training ground goals from corners as we did yet again today.

Are the team good enough, is the Manager good enough? Maybe not.

When you leave out your most creative player in terms of goal assists and continue to expect an over- rated and under-performing player to produce the goods - although he hasn’t for virtually all of the season - what do you expect. We are not even creating chances, never mind scoring goals since he was dropped.

We are looking increasingly like being this season’s Exeter; flatter to deceive for much of the season, then slowly but surely fade away and probably not even make the Play-offs.

Go wash your mouth with soap.

Exeter will be this season's Exeter.

At last somebody on the same wavelength :thumbup:

There’s an insult if ever I saw one.

Player Ratings: Bradford 2 Plymouth Argyle 1

Alex Palmer: 7
He collected most high balls very well despite a lot of pressure from tall Bradford attackers. He also made two great one vs one saves to keep Argyle in with a sniff at the start of the second half

Callum McFadzean: 3
When moved to left-centre-back, he was, if anything, even worse. He was beaten one vs one twice to allow good Bradford chances.
