Bradford City v Bolton Wanderers

A top of the table clash of the form league in league 2 as the 2 biggest clubs in this league meet at valley parade. Bolton are top of this league with 6 wins on the bounce and Bradford 2nd with 5. Both sides need wins. Bolton to close the gap on automatic promotion and cement their place at least in the top 7 as teams have games in hand. Bradford still over a win to get into the top 7 so some way for them to go before they get the cigar out. Team news. A full squad available today. The keeper, back 4, 2 holders and Doyle likely to stay in the side, its the 3 behind Doyle that evatt likes to juggle.

Onwards and upwards to Tuesday keep going until the final whistle of the season.
As IE pointed out we lacked that bit in the final third again yesterday we had enough to be out of sight.
Keep everybody fit find the missing link and who knows where we'll end up.

I thought we were outstanding. I think that’s the best we’ve played all season to be honest as a complete performance, other than the final third stuff. But it just feels like when we click into gear in that final third and we start making better decisions, someone’s going to get a bit of a pasting. Says Ian Evatt!. So does that mean there could be a goal fest before the end of the season.🤔

We shouldn't talk about goal fests. Whenever we do that we don't get one except on one occasion when the opposition gave us a thrashing. We should just hope for a win and hopefully, it will come to be.

A real shame we couldn't hold on against Bradford but I'm looking forward to Tuesday when hopefully we will see a more positive result for us.

I don't think there will be a goal fest. We don't score from corners or free kicks. The centre backs don't score, the 2 central midfielders don't score. The stats say reliant on doyle, sarcevic and delfounso. Should be no surprise we struggled yesterday until delfounso came on. Isgrove has 1 goal and adolayan hasn't scored at all so were reliant on just doyle and sarcevic. Really need to start working a way to score from set pieces.

I have wondered if we could squeeze Miller in with Doyle not as a front pair as such having two would leave one free if one comes deep or goes hunting for the ball as Doyle does now.
If we could move quicker up top and not allow teams to fall back in numbers we might have a bit more space to get some decent shots away but the catch is they have to be on target which isn't always possible because either we've let them fall back in numbers and we are not so good on the accuracy front when shooting more space and time could fix that.
It's all about the final third fix that and we'll be off into the distance leaving the rest of the league behind.

Why not have a front pair? One of our most productive years were when we had McGinley and Walker upfront. Those were heady days to be sure.

I don't know how the training sessions are scheduled but we could do with McGinly explaining what the lads should be doing in front of goal. That is not to take anything away from our strikers but a bit of coaching in that area wouldn't go amiss for all the squad. Maybe then we would see an improvement from the rest of the team.

There's some debate about Marcus being sick or a little sleepy head he wasn't there when teacher checked the names off the register.
What I want to know is did anybody snigger when class was asked "has anybody seen Marcus" and how come this paper has such an interest an old boy.
