A creditable performance saw each City man play his part in a 3-0 victory over the Spireites.
The first home game of the season was a fairly uneventful affair, but a more enjoyable one than I had expected. Of the new signings, Eastwood was not seriously tested by City’s opponents and it may take a few games before any judgement can be reached on the loan ‘keeper. Williams made an impressive home [...]
Absolutely superb. I’m not just talking about Andy Warrington’s performance in the Rotherham goal, I’m talking (shockingly) about Bradford City’s performance as a team – and as individual members of that team. Rhys Evans did everything that was asked of him – including some very good saves indeed. Paul Arnison was solid at right back, [...]
Like the old Grandstand Vidiprinter, I can hardly believe this scoreline. The shocks began early in the game when City took the lead inside two minutes through Peter Thorne from (I think) a Steve Jones assist.
Brilliant. This felt like a proper game of football, with something riding on it. The crowd were more involved and louder than usual – and the players seemed to respond. Dean Furman saved us in the first half when he cleared a shot off the line and Wycombe missed a couple of decent chances (I [...]
Chester came for a point and they obviously decided the best way to do that was to play rough, time-waste, and feign injury. Cynical. To sum up the game in a few words, we were up against a team out to frustrate us and stop us playing, we still made a few chances and [...]
Well, the first thing I have to say is that the officials were terrible. No-one round me thought that the Gills’ midfielder Bentley was going to be sent off for his challenge on Paul McLaren, the ref ignored several absolutely blatant fouls on Thorne and Boulding and gave free-kicks that baffled most of the crowd. [...]
Oh dear. City were taken down a peg or two by Bournemouth on Saturday with ex-City striker and current Bournemouth manager Jimmy Quinn taking most of the plaudits for his astute tactics – wing backs with plenty of back-up from the midfielders and just a single striker. City never got Colbeck or Daley one-on-one against [...]
Another Saturday, another three points and another goal for Peter Thorne – if I can keep writing that every week I will be absolutely delighted. So far, we have five points more than at the same stage last season. It’s very early days, but things look promising for Stuart McCall and his squad.
Summary: Rochdale started [...]
