A good and fair write up of the match.
Expect we had 13 shots on goal, not 5. We had 5 on target.
Cheers Paul
It does say we had 13 shots (in total. On and off target). 3 of these were on target. Bradford actually had 14 shots on and off target .. of which 5 were on target .. and they scored from 4 of those.
Despite the extra man we both had roughly the same amount of chances. They were more ruthless when in front of goal though.
I think this is a fair and honest review. Nice to watch something from a real, honest, away fans perspective and good to hear the opinions of all of the fans.
The stats were a bit iffy, but still a nice, well rounded review.
😀
Just 3 things to say:
1) It was definitely a Red card. It doesn’t matter if there were covering defenders or not, Button could’ve broken Nahki’s neck/back. As Nahki himself said on Twitter, it was more of an NFL challenge, and got none of the ball.
2) At 4-0 it was definitely us taking the gas off the pedal to save energy for the next match. Normally we would take the ball to the corner as much as possible to waste time, but on Saturday in the last 10 minutes we kept going backwards a bit too much than usual, which gave you chances when we lost the ball.
3) Didn’t make a prediction pre-match. Expected it to be close, but had a feeling we could get a big win if we played to our best, but chickened out of putting a bet on as I’m skint.
Then half our players played average and still get a 4-0 win.
When I bet, I usually put 9 separate £1 bets on each correct score from 1-0 to 4-2, so would’ve got £50 at least I’m guessing.
4-0 doesn’t happen very often for city, but when it happens I never have a bet on 🙁
Expecting us both to be in the play-offs at the end of the season. PS. Check out my vids!
Rosler’s gone down severely in my estimation of him. I’ve always admired him first as a player and now a Manager
However, anyone who thinks that the sending off was harsh is so far from reality – you wonder if he has his feet on ground enough to resolve your defensive issues
Well’s scared your keeper to death, when he charged down that ball. That was at the back of his mind, when he had his moment of madness
Back to the match. I thought you were superb for 10 minutes and was worried. Then we actually started getting on top, coinciding with the Davis clearance and Wells charge down. I think our players were far to respectful at first and these two incidents woke them up
4-0 is unfair, but your central defence and full backs were poor, sending off or no sending off
It’s often very hard for L1 clubs to bounce back after play-off heartbreak. Both Hartlepool and more recently Swindon got relegated after such a season
You are correct to not be complacent. The likes of us and Rotherham who were decent opposition when you were in L2, will not be going away -both teams were known as good footie team, last season
Best of look and see you later in the season
Just a quick thumbs up, really superb with interviews of Bees/away supporters …keep up the good work
