Adam Lewis not having the best of starts, a couple of mistakes already

Pathetic defending again.

cant help but wonder Mellon(proven striker) who's on the bench for Bradford tonight

and Scofield and Cooke our recent two signings(on the bench btw) could the money in wages for them two of paid for Mellon, especially if we'd shown more urgency bringing in a center forward over any other position on the field.

..

Very poor, hoof ball now 7 points from safety. Be relegated by April...

1-0 Bradford

To be fair, at the time of those signings, Derek still expected to get more money. Mellon wouldn't be coming to us anyway, there's no way we could compete with them in a bidding war. Burnley are probably more interested in wage contribution than Mellon's development.

Tollitt is having a 'mare. Given the ball away cheaply on a few occasions and not sharp enough up front when there was an excellent cross.

Probably fortunate to only be 1-0 but regardless, can't see where a goal is coming from. Some decent play at times, but no killer ball.

but Jason let Derek down in L1 when we got relegated and a 2nd time last season when Derek walked, and now a 3rd time?

It's pretty clear Jason isn't bothered about what happens on the pitch

Jason seems more bothered when us fans slag him off on social media and i get the feeling he will enjoy getting Morecambe relegated, and having one over us and being smug about it.

Tollitt>Slew at half-time

looking at the replay, Tom White as every right to be mad!

Playing much better now, but still nothing on target.

Andy D wrote:looking at the replay, Tom White as every right to be mad!

I can understand him being angry, and MUCH worse than Angol's, but I can see how the ref would have missed it.

on a positive, i much prefer Hope over Dakkers, at least Hope runs a lot harder and presses defenders on the ball.

Yep pretty clear there was a movement of the elbow, not sure it warranted looking like he'd been shot.


Great save that

Another 'referee' that is giving us absolutely nothing!

Superb save by their keeper! Chances coming, let's get one!!!

this 4-3-3 suits us

I tried to post this at half time “Two up front, please Derek, might as well get stuffed” Tollitt was taken off at half time, what has happened to him since Christmas??

Andy D wrote:this 4-3-3 suits us

Dare I suggest, it may suit Dackers? Target man with two players running off him?

Fresh legs for Bradford, we have to match that, twist two off for two off the bench.

Cooke>Edwards
